The channel bass fishing was
almost a bust of the North
Carolina coast because of bad
weather. Lately, when weather
permitted, hordes of bluefish
have put in their appearance
and gladdened the hearts Of
those fortunate to catch them.
But it was only this past Sunday,
when weather quoted down,
that Alan Ferguson Of Washing

Florida. While trolling baby
mackerel in the Gulf Stream,
a 39-pound white marlin took
Ferguson'S lure. Actually Fergu-

Potomac's interest in produc-

wins, a new record will be set
for navigating honors. It would
be the fourth victory for the

a decade ago. In the past four
years Potomac has taken three

Crucifix Called
Old Masterpiece

VIENNA = MC) - A crucifix
which has hung in church here
for so years has been identified
as = masterpiece executed by
Tilman Riemenschneider, the

The crucifix attracted the at
tention of DR.. Robert Eigenber-
ger. a specialist in the conserva-
tion and restoration of art OBJ
jects of the Vienna Academy of
Fine Arts, during q tour of in
spection of old parish churches.
DR.. Eigenberger had been invited
to examine st. Anton's Church in

by its pastor, Father Ernst Boy
er. Father Boyer pointed out the
crucifix and expressed his
thought that possibly the figure
of Christ was the work of late

Farm Bureau Has
Praise For Rule
On Stored Grain

The Ohio Farm Bureau Fedora
ton has hailed Fayette County
Common Pleas Judge John Cases
decision when he issued an injunc-
ton against the Fayette County
Treasurer in his attempt to collect
back personal property taxes on
grain in government storage.
In effect, the judge ruled that
Fayette County farmers could not
be taxed on wheat stored under
the facilities of the Commodity
Credit Corporation from 1858 to
1855.
d. r. Stanfield, executive secre-
tary of the Ohio Farm Bureau
Federation, said here today that
Judge Cases opinion would sup
port two cases in Franklin County
in which the Farm Bureau claims
farmers are not liable for a per-
Sonal property tax on grain in
government storage. Stanfield said
the Federation bases its case on
an amendment passed recently by
the Ohio Legislature which, states
that farmers, who have taken a
loan on grain from the Commodity
Credit Coronation, cannot be taxed
for personal property. The cases,
to be heard in the State Board of
Tax Appeals, deal with 1856, the
year the legislative amendment
took effect.
While under loan, Stanfield
said, the grain may have been
shipped out of the state or to other
counties within the state, determ-
ined by space requirements of stor-
age facilities located in areas of
varying tax levels.
Essentially" said Stanfield,
The grain is not then a part of
the farmers inventory, therefore
it is not liable to personal proper
ty tax"

Traffic Officers
Laud Drivers; Say
Roads To Be Bad

Madison County traffic officers
are convinced that drivers in the
area are the safest operators in
the state. At least that is the gen.
eral opinion expressed after the
long holiday weekend and the icy
roads which followed.
With the rain-snow mixture
Wednesday and early Thursday,
officers reported only single
minor accident. Two out of area
cars figured in a non-injury acci-
dent nine feet west of the London
City limits on Wednesday. Prop
erty damage was almost neglgi-
bic and the two cars proceeded un-
der their own power.
Officers continue their warning
that driving conditions will be get
ting worse until spring, and they
are asking the public to adjust
their driving to the roads and keep
the record as clean of accidents as
possible.

Hospital Report
Says Conditions
OF Both Are Fair

Madison County Sheriff's depu-
ties investigated one of the worst
accidents of the season Thursday
afternoon when two vehicles crash
ed almost head-on at a point about
two miles south of London on Rt.
38. The accident occurred about
200 pm. on a straight stretch of
highway.
According to officers, the We
hicles involved were a car owned
by Standard Brands, Incorporated,
of Columbus and driven by ]. Wal
ter Luft, 81, Bexley, a salesman
for the firm and a truck pulling a
trailer which was loaded with a
farm tractor. The truck, driven by
Dean Long, 80, London Route A,
was owned by Thomas Implement

driver of the truck had started to
a point near Mt. Sterling to de-
liver the tractor. The permissible

the truck was estimated at about
.30-35 miles per hour.
The car, a 1854 Chevrolet. was
damaged heavily, with the entire
motor assembly crushed. and push
ed back into the front seat. IT will
probably be listed as demolished.
Thomas said the truck was damag-
ed beyond reasonable repair. The
front end was badly crushed and
the framework was bent out of
line.
At the time of impact the trac-
tor, which was on the trailer,
broke loose the heavv chains which
tied it on the trailer and was
thrown forward into the rear end
of the truck Little damage was
done to the tractor.

AS fair. The driver of the truck,
Dean Long was treated by Doctor

er examination. He was not so SER
