Directs Verdict
In Railroad Case

Common Pleas Judge Gerald A.
Baynes directed a verdict for the
defendant Wednesday, the second
directed verdict in the last four
days of court.
Donald PenWell, minor, through
his father an next friend. Clvde
Penwell, had sued the New York
Central Railroad for 100000
damages for false arrest and inn
prisonment in July, 1855. The
case resulted when three signal
lights we're broken one mile east
of London. Donald was arrested
by special policeman working
for the railroad and was charged
with delinquency by local author
tiles. Donald spent the night in
the Madison Co. Jail. He was later
cleared of implication in the mis-
d g m eanor and the suit was
brought.
Judge Baynes directed the jury
to bring in verdict in favor of
the defendant railroad on hearing
the opening statement of the at
torney for the plaintiff Appar-
emily the judges instruction was
principally based on the fact that
the arresting officer was acting as
public police officer.
The plaintiff was represented
by Cra b be and Tanner. At
torneys for the defendant were
Jackman and Nichols.

bilization and Conservation Com
mittee, has announced the new

this area.
Corn price supports in the COM
mercial area counties will be a
minimum average of $150 per
bushel on corn produced under
acreage allotments, but not less
than 821a percent of parity at
the beginning of the 1956-57

ell announced was S140 a bushel,
which is S6.2 of current parity.
Other action taken includes price
supports for 1856 crop corn not
produced under acreage allot-
ments. Support on such corn will
be at an average of SIPS per
bushel, but not less than 70 per-
cent of beginning parity in the
marketing year. C.C.C. loan rates
will be announced by counties
later.
Mr.. Roby also announced that
the minimum national price sup
port for the 1856 wheat crop has
been increased to $500 per bu-
shell, which at the present time
is 837 percent of parity. The sup
port at harvest will not be less
than 82.5 percent of parity as of
July l, 1856. Prior minimum was
$1.81 per bushel. The minimum
rates announced apply to the Sc
states in the commercial wheat
producing area. The 1855 wheat
crop in the commercial wheat
area was supported at 82la per-
cent of parity, making a national

But England is no longer
poverished. No rationing and
no shortages now. You can
have steak, chicken, pheasant,
partridge, lobster, duck, fish,
venison, ham, lamb, ram,
beef or mutton. Wonderful
vegetables and fruits from all
over the world as well as the
best wines go to make Eng
land among the best-fed nat
ions in the whole world. Cof-
fee? Why, sure and good too.
England cold? Yes, / guess
it is but a few days here and
you soon realize that it is a
different kind of cold than that
we think of. The Englishman
LIKES it this way and most
of the inhabitants are fresh
air fiends. The English pre-
fei to sit in front of a fire in
the CRATE than to have central
heating as we know it. Most
homes have central heat but
they seldom if ever use it.
To us this is like having an
automatic washer and doing
the laundry by hand but the
English like it this way and
it's their country.
Soon we are pushing off
