Night Opening Is
Problem All Over

Wherever business places stay
open nights there always is a
problem of which night to open.
London merchants have already
found the answer and are staying
open both Friday and Saturday
nights.
In deciding to remain open, mer-
chants in one Wisconsin area talk
ed with farmers to find these de-
sires: 50 percent wanted stores
open on Friday nights, "A per cent
wanted Saturday night opening
and a minor four percent wanted
another night.
These figures contrasted sharp
ly with earlier findings when Sat-
urdays were the only days farm
ers took off early enough to visit
and shop. And, many farm fanil-
les still insist on Saturday night
shopping. even in the London
Madison County area.

County Gets Over
$1,000 From Fund
For First Round

State Auditor James A. Rhodes
announced this week that Madison
county's share of the first distri-
button of money from the supple
mental local government fund
created by the June special ,sess-
ion of the legislature is S3,669T3
Checks tota1ffeI S1I800 0Dof have
been mailed by Rhodes to county
treasurers to reimburse IocAf gov

which resulted when the tax on
shares and active capital financial
institutions was knocked out by the
courts. It is part of the S12 million
of. sales tax money provided by
the legislature to help many cities
and villages meet a financial en-
ergency.
The remaining $10.2 million OF
the supplemental local government
fund will be used to reimburse To-
cal governments for the amount OF
abatement certificates" which
their financial institutions will
submit to pay future taxes. For
example, if a banks tax is SIS, 5,00C
and it uses a $4,000 abatement
certificate toward payment of the
tax, the state auditor will pay to
the county's undivided local gov
ernrnent fund $4,000 from the sup
elemental fund provided by the
legislature.
The amount which each county
receives in the initial $1.8 million
distribution is based on the ratio
that tie value of the shares in and
capital employed by its financial
institutions bears to the total val
ue of shares in and capital en-
ployed by all financial institutions
in Ohio.
Almost half of the first $1.8 mil
lion distributed goes to the largest
three counties with Cuyahoga get

EN- assieS (including the
United States embassies) apply
to their governments for funds
to paint walls or replace badly
needed furniture or equipment.
It's amazing how treasures
will suddenly find money when
a VIP is about to travel abroad
and will have a chance to look
over said embassy.
In the case of the Indians.
who have the lovely former
Schoellkopf home for their
Embassy, they were able to put
a new coat of paint on the
walls, replace some of the
worn carpets IN anticipation
of their famous leaders visit.
Whether OF not Mr.. Nehru
still will get here is highly de-
batable. With United States
elections and with midas own
national elections coming early
next spring, there seems to be
some doubt.

The Washington dramatic
critics missed the finest per-
Torrance of the year last
night.
To capture the multiple
facets of the great Norwegian
actress Tore Segelcke is like
trying to describe the depth
and color of every light that
emanates from a perfectly cut
jewel. In her "one-woman
show" at the Cosmos Club, she
revealed the epic quality of
Judith Anderson. the maturity
of Katherine Cornell whom
she's just been visiting on
Martha's Vineyard) and the
poignancy of Eva LIE Caffeine.
But her Interpretation of
Medea defles comparison. In
it she revealed a sexy, young,
tawny quality that dashed out
in murderous, frustrated fury
against the lover who had cast
her off.
1t is no mean feat to walk
out cold before an audience
and. without props, without
curtain, without music, trans
port them to the audible pin
dropping stage. Her sur
geon husband, DR.. Anton
Raabe, observed later that she
had not only passed the pin
test, but there was no cough
ing. :. :. gather she's had the
same reception everywhere, in
Guiding New York, where Helen
Hayes acquired the President
Theater for one afternoon and
Tore performed before an au-
dience of actors and directors
only.

the Norwegian Embassy Tor

former Gloria Grosvenor, gave
a supper party afterwards for
