Residents Will
Voice Opinions
AT Council Meet

A proposal for replacing Lon
don's street lighting system was
given to the Retail Merchants AS
sociation late last week, and will
come up for discussion at the
Thursday night meeting of the
London City Council, according to
councilman Paul Alexander.
According to the proposal, all
street lights now serviced by the
underground system would be re-
placed with overhead lights, and
overhead wires strung between
poles which would be erected in
front of the homes. In the discus
sion Ohio Edison spokesnen admit
ted the new system will cause
some limbs to be cut from most
trees along the streets Especially
North Main) and that some trees
may have to be removed. y
Ohio Edison's proposal indicated
that the upkeep of the present sys-
tenn is too costly for them under
the current contract for lighting
London's streets. According to one
member of the merchants associa-
ton, Ohio Edison agents were not
receptive to the idea of improving
the lighting in the downtown areas
where there are no trees, and leaV-
ing the lights as they are in resi-
dental sections.
The proposal Of cutting trees so
as to install overhead wires has
been made before but met with
disapproval of most residents who
would be affected by the change
over, Strongest opposition is ex-
pected to come from London's
tree-lined North Main Street
where no overhead wiring of any
kind is in front of the houses to
mar what has been called one of
the most beautiful streets in Cen
trail Ohio.
Elm Street, High Street, South
Main Street, Walnut Street, Four
tn Street and other of London's
tree-lined streets would be similar
ly affected by the poles and wires
being erected in front of the homes
now unmarried by such devices.
SO far there has been no citizen
opposition to improving the system
in the business district of London
where lighting is very poor.
According to councilman Alex
ander, council will discuss the Ohio
Edison proposal Thursday night
before inviting Ohio Edison agents
to offer their proposition at the
April 18 meeting. Alexander said

Screening Starts
In Program Set
To Give Strength

Paul Dwyer, Chairman of the
draft board for Madison County
today announced the receipt of
Standby Reserve forms from State
Selective service Headquarters a.
long with instructions for helping
evaluate the reservists in this
county. THE Congress, in its last
session, enacted a law placing up
on the Selective Service System
responsibility of screening the Ma
tons entire Standby Reserve, men
and women. The reservists are be-
ing mailed questionaires to be fill
ed out and returned to local boards
for use in determining their availa-
bility in time of national emergen-
cy" Dwyer said.
In explaining why the Standby
Reservists are receiving these ques-
tionaireS the local board chairman
pointed out some of the pRoblems
which faced the Standby Reser-
visits in years past. He recalled,
I'm time of emergency the Stand
by ReserviSt had no way of judg-
ing if and when he would be called
to active duty. This was actually
less knowledge than most regis
trants had in regard to their sta
tus, since Selective Service regis
trants could find out many things
regarding their situation, and also
had the opportunity of presenting
information to their draft boards
(made up of local people,, who
could take action to reclassify the
| IregistrantS where circumstances
warranted it. The Standby Reser-
visit meanwhile was trying to judge
his vulnerability by watching and
listening to news reports. The new
law was designed to correct this
situation by insuring that each
Standby ReServist would be called
to duty only after full considera-
tion had been given all the facts
in his case, as well as the weighing
of the effect that his entry on ac-
tive duty would have on the ma
tional health, safety or interest. p"
Each Standby Reservist will be
placed in one of three categories,
based upon the information in his
QUESTIONABLE: I-R (available), II
r deferred for civilian occupation
essential to the maintenance of the
national health, safety or interest i,
III-R deferred by reason of ex-
treme hardship and privation to
dependents).
I'm time of war or national
emergency declared by Congress,
this will give the Standby Reser-
visit a clearer picture of his posi-
ton as regards his or her recall
to active duty.
1.-The Standby Reservist has the
right of appeal if he is not con-
vinced that his category is correct,
but continues to have the response
bility to keep his local board in
formed of any change of address
or status
The program will provide a SER
vice not only to the Standby Re-
.servist who will know his emergen-
cy recall status, but the armed
services, which will likewise know
the availability of their Standby
Reserve pools" according to

Perjury in Scandal

This was shortly after Senator
Kraft had adjourned the State

I'VE have only hit the high
