Jefferson Police
Holding Hospital
Escapee In Jail

West Jefferson Police are hold
ing a man identified as Donald
Roberts, an escapee from the Day
ton State Hospital. The fact of the
escape has not yet been confirmed
by authorities there.
A second man, also identified as
an escapee was twice taken into
custody but each time escaped the
officers. In one case he jumped
from the car and ran as an officer
fired into the air trying to stop
him. In the other escape, the man
got away before he could be load
ed into the cruiser
The men were found in West
Jefferson by acting Police Chief
John Sharp late Monday afternoon
and the search was continued into
the night. Officers were also
searching for two men identified as
suspected escapes from the Lon
don Prison Farm early Sunday.

Group Asking For
Toys In Program
For Aiding Needy
It's toy time again.

IL TOY Tune again.
And the London Federation of
Women's Clubs and the men at
London's City building are combin-
ing their efforts to see that many
children are made happy through
the annual appeal for toys, and it
is expected that many of the toys
will be in good condition.
In cases where toys need repair
and painting, the men will see to
the work, but they have emphasiz-
ed that it is practically impossible
to repair plastic toys. Toys made of
wood or metal are easily repaired
and still will make some child hap
py, and even those needing paint
will be welcomed, but the men
said they couldn't possibly repair
the broken plastic.
Persons wishing to leave toys
for the planned program may
leave them at McSavaney & Com
pany's office or at the City build
ing. The group stressed the fact
that in order to get all repairs
made, the toys should be in as
soon as possible.
All efforts will be made to see
that every toy donated goes to a
deserving child who would have no
toys at Christmas. This has been
called a chance for the public to
play Santa Claus to a group of de-
serving children.

Will Honor Many
Who Aided With
Fiftieth Year

London High Schools annual
Athletic Association Football Ban
quet will be held Monday evening
in the school cafeteria according
to an announcement made this
week. The speaker for this years
banquet will be Doyt Perry, who
was recently named coach of the
year in Ohio. He is from Bowling
Green.
According to Jacob Won Kanel,
principal and athletic director, the
banquet will honor the 1856 foot
bali squad and will be held in the
high school cafeteria. The 1856
captain will also be announced at
the gathering.
In listing the groups to be rec
ognized, Won Kanel said it would
include the varsity and reserve
players, the cheer leaders, the
queen and her court, the Boosters,
the Jaycees for the Golden Ami
versary programs and the various
other groups who aided IN the sue
cess Of the 1856 season. He added
that many teams Of past years
VIII be recognized during the eve
ming.
A limited number of tickets for
the banquet are still available at
the School Office for the regular
price of S1.50 each, according to
Won Kanel.
An outstanding feature of each
years banquet has been the fact
that the speakers always present
addresses which hold the audience
for the full period OF the speech.
And those who know Perry say
that he should be one Of the best
in years.
The theme of the banquet will
probably center around the Gold
en- Anniversary Motif since the
Athletic Department has just COM
pleted their fiftieth active year of
football games.
The banquet is open to the pub
lie as long as the limited number
of tickets holds out. The size of the
cafeteria limits the number which
may be sold.

Bicycle To Be

Street Salaries

In three hour council meeting
Monday night, West Jefferson
Councilmen gave readings to three
ordinances and one resolution, and
all except one ordinance was pass
ed under suspension of rules.
In one action council gave first
reading to an ordinance setting
new gas rates, but the ordinance
was in conflict with the proposed
gas rate offered by the Ohio Fuel
Gas Company. And a representa-
tive of the company said the ordin-
ance would probably be appealed
to the Public Utilities commission.
The ordinance placed on first
reading is five year contract
which has two steps reaching the
rate at the end of five years which
the Gas Company suggested for
the end of the third year. Council
refused the company's proposed
ordinances.
The resolution which also was
passed was to give street en-
ployees an increase of 10c per
hour. They will now receive SIPS
per hour for their work, along
with weeks paid vacation annu-
ally.
During the discussion, which con-
sumed the majority of the time,
council talked of the anticipated
loss of members Of the police de-
partment and the condition of the
village streets.
One councilman rendered the
opinion that the streets were in a
"deplorable" condition, and Mayor
Harold B. RAIDER defended the VIII
lage, saying that West Jefferson
is a country town with country
roads. He added that the streets
are in excellent condition compar-
ed with the amount of revenue a
vailable for repair and construc-
ton.
In discussing the probability that
policemen would quit for lack OF
salary increases, council took nc
action, but told the mayor that he
should act when the situation de-
velops.
They took no action concerning
the recent order to vacate the
town hall by the first of the year
One councilman still contended
that there is nothing seriously
wrong with the building which
cannot be done at minor cost. II
was. however, pointed out that
funds for the repairs will have to
be voted by the village residents.

Madison People
At Meeting Held
For Polio Groups

The 1857 March of Dimes will
have two important detectives.
I'VE must raise sufficient funds
to carry on the fight against poll
10 and we must campaign harder
than ever to get every child and
young adult vaccinated against po-
lio", Mrs. John f. Hammond Mad
ison County March Of Dimes Cam
paign director, said today. Mrs.
Hammond has just returned from
a state March of Dimes meeting
in Columbus where she met with
state chairman Bob Feller of the
Cleveland Indians, Melvin A.
CHASER of New York, an execu-
tive of the National Foundation
for Infantile Paralysis, and 300
fellow volunteers.
Others who attended from Madi-
son County are: Mrs. Logan Glib
son, Mrs Russell Walls, Mrs ASH
Bidwell Sr., Mrs. Viola Murray.
Mr.. and Mrs. Harvey Pickens and
Mrs. c. o. Thompson chairman of
the County Chapter of NIP.
Chaser told the group that the
fight against polio had just begun,
in the sense that a proved weapon
against it is now available but is
not being used. An estimated 76
million salk vaccine inoculations
have been given to 38 million A
mericans. This means that only
one-third of the job is done.
Chaser said. He reiterated the re-
cent urging of President Eisenhow-
er that all children and young adj
ults at least up to age 35 begin
taking the series Of Salk shots at
once. Particularly young parents,
since they are susceptible and chill
dren bring the disease into the
home"
