Opposition To
Hilliard Races
Get Set Back

After being handed a jarr-ing set
back in their first two cases in
court, the people composing the
party of opposition to the Hilliard
races are said to be recuperating
their forces and studying the ways
and means to further thei r attack.
Comomn Pleas Judge Robert NJ.
Diaper, Friday granted the Frank
I'm County Agricultural Society a
temporary injunction to prevent
the village of Hilliard from fenc-
ing off the driveways or entranc-
es to the fair grounds.
At the same time the Judge tos-
sed out the suit of the 64 residents
asking the court to halt all harness
racing at the Franklin County Fair
Grounds.
1t would now appear that the
spring harness racing meet which
is scheduled to begin at the Hill
lard track on the night of June
18th, and last for Al nights there
after will get underway as per
schedule and that there will be
LOCALIZED betting in operation for
those racing fans who care to
make wager.
Purses at the meet this spring
will total $160,000 and there have
been reservations made to date for
500 stalls. The 470 nominations in
the early closing events a II e
thought to be the largest during
the eight years the races have been
operating. 1t is the opinion that all
records of attendance will be
broken at the track too this spring.
The publicity which the track has
received in newspapers all over the
state, due to the attempt of the
opposition to halt the racing at
Hilliard is expected to serve as a
stimulent to the harness racing in
Central Ohio.
Many of the Hilliard racing fans,
business men and members of the
County Fair Board feel that hnth
the races at the spring meet and
at the county fair will benefit from
the tremendous publicity the tract;
has hau to date.

Stevenson Blasts
School, Program

CHICAGO. Jan. IA (41.-Pres'

proposals, says Adlai E. Steven

The President has suggested
a program that included Fedora
grants of $3.50 million a year fol
five years to help the States
build schoolrooms.
Mr.. Stevenson. the 1852 Demo.
cratic presidential nominee ant
who seeks the nomination agar
this year, said yesterday:
1.-TWO years ago the Presiden
proposed nothing for school con-
lstruction. Last year he proposed
SOS million a year. This year i
| is $3.50 million, a figure still
grossly inadequate.
But the desperate needs have
not changed. All that ha!
changed is the calendar; this i!
an election year.
Like the Presidents sudden
change on aid to agriculture
this is another example of gov
eminent by political expediency
But I am afraid the Presiden
