Week END Accident Toll In County
Is Down; Officers Are Gratified

Law enforcement officers in the
area expressed much gratitude
this week with the lack of high
way accidents over the weekend.
London and West Jefferson inves-
tigated no accidents over the week
end, nor did the office of the
Madison County Sheriff.
The State Patrol investigated a
single accident late Friday evening
and five over Saturday and Sun
day. None of the accidents produc-
ed serious injuries.
No county people were involved
in any of the Saturday-Sunday ac-
cidents investigated. most driv-
ers were out-of-state people who
were not familiar with local road
conditions. Only one automobile in
those involved in the five accidents
was damaged to an extent which
required wrecker service.
In the Friday night accident,
Harley Paugh, 79, 208 North Main,
London, was driving a vehicle
which was struck by a car driven
by James Tackett, %, Columbus.
According to State Patrolmen
Paugh made a U-turn when he
came into the path of the other
vehicle. Paugh was cited into Lon
don Mayors court charged with
failing to yield the right of way.
His trial has been continued
During last week end traffic ac-
cidents were heavy in the county
with at least one fatality. Property
damage was also heavy in the sew
eral accidents reported last week
Enforcement officers expressed the
opinion that last weeks damage
may have favorably impressed the
public.

are intensifying their efforts this
week to make Wednesdays visit of

with all. residents of the county,
are faced with losing blood bank"
privileges if the quota is not met.
The Mobile Unit will be in the
Methodist Church in London on
Wednesday from 1000 am. until
400 pm, to receive blood. The
committee has urged everyone eli
gible to contribute blood in order
to bring up the tagging efforts
which have placed the county far
behind the quota.
According to records, Madison
countians have already used near
ly twice the amount of blood con-
tributed this year. AS the program
is now operating, only counties ac-
tive in the donor program are eligi-
BILE to receive free blood from the
bank. Madison countians may find
themselves paying at least S25 90
per pint for blood unless they rally
to the call of the committee work.

Appointments may be made in
advance for contributing, but the
group has stressed that they will
gladly accept those who walk in
without the appointment. Those
wishing to make appointments may
do so by calling 1457M3, 1871, 162
or 90.
A competent staff will be on
hand to see that no one donates if
there is a possibility of harmful eff
fects. Only those who are physical

Local Ball Club
Drops Last Game

London's Hume and Mabe ball
club dropped their first game of
the past q games Sunday to lose
the championship in the Central
Ohio Sunday League. And the score
of the single game was almost eq-
ual to the gross score of the past
ten games played by the local
team.
Player Manager Bob Murray
said the opponents. Spartan A. c.,
got a big moral boost from the
fact that the top H and M hitter,
Clyde Shannon was not playing.
This same factor also left the Lon
don team with an obvious weak
ness.
During the past season, which
ended with the championship game
Sunday, only 13 runs had been
scored against London. The Sun
day score was an appalling 11-2 in
favor of the Spartans.
The Spartans took the lead ear
ly in the game, and spanked with
top-notch pitching. continued a
vigorous drive The early deficit
left the Londoners in the dark.
The H and M team accounted for
only four hits.
incidentally, Shannon had an
ticipated that the seasons play
would be over when he set his
wedding date. A mix-up in playing
caused his wedding day to come
on the Championship date. He was
not available for comment on the
game at press time)

Entire Area Is
Struck BY Heavy
Wind With Rains

High winds, torrential rain and
accompanying hail played havoc
with telephones, crops and trees in
Sedalia early Tuesday morning.
Damage is expected to run into
several thousand dollars. Ohio Bell
Telephone Company officials ex-
pected their damage alone to run
between $1,000 and $1,000. No in
juries were reported.
According to residents of the viii
lage the storm struck about 12:15
Tuesday morning, shortly after
most residents had retired. Trees
started cracking, falling on hous-
es, and telephone and power serv-
ice were cut off. In the village pro-
per trees blocked the streets, maxi
ing it almost impossible to get
through.
One resident reported that when
all utilities were disrupted and the
storm kept gaining force their fam
lily took refuge in the basement and
prayed. Others reported that they
were awakened from their sleep by
windows crashing. by falling trees
and the scared screams of their
neighbors.
Telephone company representa-
tiVes reported damage only in ra-
dius of about three-fourths of a
mile from the center of the village.
All telephone service from the VIII
lage was disrupted shortly after
midnight. but representatives es-
tablished emergency (radio-tele-
phone) service in less than an hour.
Service to London was restored
Tuesday morning at 600. Lines in
the village and to nearby farms
were still being repaired.
Detailed damage reported by the
telephone company listed at least
six major caolc breaks. dozens of
poles down, numerous spans of
open wire and countless individual
drop lines out.
The company had five constuc-
tion crews working, two cable
crews, two installation crews plus
other miscellaneous workers.
State and county highway crews
were busy clearing the debris from
the roads in and around the village
in the storm area.
In the rural areas around the
village rooftops were torn from
barns and sheds. sheds were over
turned and carried across fields
and hoghouses, windmills, televis-
ion antennas and trees were liter
allv twisted apart.
Cornfields appeared to have been
stripped stalk by stalk, and farm
efs expressed the opinion that none
of the hard hit fields would sur
vive. Gardeners and truck farmers
said vegetable plants such as cab
bages were shredded by the hail
and whipped to strings by the high
winds Legume crops were also
damaged heavily.
Telephone company representa-
tives would not estimate the time
which might be required to rein
state full service in and around the
storm struck area.

EXCLUSIVELY
YOURS
Big Diplomatic Changes
Muy Have Social Impact
BY BETTY BEALE

Washington is undergoing
such a diplomatic change right
now that nobody can accu-
rately predict what trend the
Capitals social life will take
next winter. Indeed if the adj
ministration also changes in
late January, you might not
recognize the home town.
We're used to the income
and outgo of the be-Sashed
and striped pants gentlemen
who represent their sovereign
nations in these United States.
We're used to it to the tune of
about 20 new ENJOYS pleni-
potentiary a year which is
plenty of new ENJOYS. But sud-
denly we are faced with some
major changes all at once.
Our No. / ally in the world,
Great Britain, is switching oc-
cupants at the British resi-
dence here. Our No. ! ally on
the European continent is
changing occupants on that
beauteous bit of French soil
on Kalorama road. And our
No. / ally in Latin America,
Brazil. has just switched resi-
dents at the Brazilian EN-
basSy.
These are the most impor-
tant countries in their areas Of
the world. Their relations with
the United States are of prime
Importance, hence the role
each representative plays in
Washington is a major one.
Since everything in life de-
ponds on personnel, from the
plumber who browns your
house-by forgetting to show
to the fellow who sells you
the wrong airline ticket, these
changes can have quite an i'm
pact.
Take Stock Later
<Nobody's going to take stock
OF their effect, however, until
Americans have passed
through the crisis known as
campaign year. The French.
who change prime ministers
about every six months, say
that America spends more
time in crises than France!
They point out that every four
years we stay in one for IL
months, whereas they only
pass through a months crisis
every six months.
At any rate we seem well
on the way to receiving a
social shot in the arm from
foreign elements this coming
season. It's too early to say
which entry you should put
your money on. but the entries
have narrowed down to one
from each couple.
At the French Embassy it
will be Herve Alphand who
will dominate the social life
