Local Men Figure
In Strike Action

Testimony in the current trial
of the 80 injunction violators in
the Westinghouse strike revealed
a pattern of organized terrorism
as Franklin County Common Pleas
Judge Dana F. Reynolds heard
witnesses in the case.
Samuel Call, London, who has
figured in many of the violence re-
ports, and David Shelby, West JEFF
ferson, along with William Parks
of Chillicothe each was quoted as
testifying that they had gone to
a Columbus used car lot, picked
up a car and driven it to the plant
gates on the morning of the vio-
lence. The cars were overturned
when they arrived at the gates,
but none of the three admitted
they had any knowledge that this
was to be done. The used car deal
er was said to have given testi-
mony that the purchase of the
autos was arranged by union sec
ond vice president Melvin Harter,
currently under bond from Mayor
Speasmaker's court here on a
charge of malicious destruction
of property. Harter's hearing on
the local charge was scheduled for
last Friday, but was postponed in
definitely to permit the prosecu-

their cases.
Witnesses at the Columbus trial
had repeatedly told Judge Rey-

Gently appointed Dean of Girls.

i'll health.
Miss Fisher started the teaching
of home economies in the London
school. and during her 33-year
span of school service, saw the
transition of the subject from an
educational "sideline" to one of
the most important faces in educa-
ton today. She organized the first
classes here with their hot plates
and tin ovens in literally corn
er of the basement of the school
and was the planner of the present
department, with family-type kit
chens and the most modern equip
ment available. She expressed the
opinion that it was most thrilling
to be part of education wherein
progress had been so marked and
so rapid as the years passed. and
though it was with deep regret
that she forwarded her resigna-
ton. she had a feeling of satisfac-
ton in seeing such tangible re-
suits of her efforts.
The Board of Education passed
a resolution of appreciation to
Miss Fisher, stating that her thir-
