By Strike Against Ohio Bell Here

calls are being put through during
rush hours.
Management personnel in the
London plant are handling repairs
and other operations as rapidly as
they can, according to Redman.
The Company's business office re-
mains in operation as usual.
The walkout of London person
mel came after a meeting OF the
Local at Columbus on Wednesday.
The members voted unanimously
to strike. The action of local
groups, in Columbus, Ironton and
other scattered cities came after
talks in Cleveland failed to result
in new agreement between Ohio
Bell and Union spokesman.
No system-wide strike has been
called. but the Western Electric
strike, called for Monday, would
also affect local Communications
Workers, who are members of the
same union.
In discussing the number of long
distance calls from the London
plant, Manager Redman said near
ly 1900 are made each month,
and many of these go through
operators serving the plant. The
present situation h made 1t
necessary to accept only emerg-
ency calls, according to Redman.

BloodmobiIe Will
Seek Donations
At South SoIon

The Red Cross mobile unit will
make its September visit to Madi-
son County when it sets up equip
ment in South Solon next Tuesday,
September II, according to the
blood committee. The unit will be
in the Stokes Township school
building from 1890 a. m. to 4:30
p. m.
Recruitment workers are con-
tacting donors this week in the
three areas served by this visit,
South Solon, Sedalia and Mt.
Sterling. Those in charge of ar
rangements are Mrs. William Ais
paugh, Sedalia; Mrs. H. E. Spears,
South Solon and Mrs. Ella
Mooney, Mt. Sterling.
This is a very critical time at
the Columbus blood center" Mrs.
T. j. Selby, county blood chair
man reported. "Surpluses of all
types of blood, including the most
common, have been depleted at the
center for over two weeks, and
allocating of blood has been on
emergency basis only for hospitals
in the area during that time. One
patient from the South Solon
area, in a Columbus hospital for
the past few weeks, has been re-
ceiving blood only day by day
from the center as it comes in,
due to completely depleted stocks.
This emergency is caused by
low collections at the bloodmobile
visits in outlying districts, so we
are urging all donors in this area
to support Tuesdays visit, and
help rectify this situation which
may affect any of us at any time"
said Mrs. Selby.
Any persons who we're unable
to keep their appointments at the
last mobile visit here in London
in August are also urged to drop
in at the South Solon school next
Tuesday, according to the chair
man.

Steer New Course In Judging
Changes Made In Method For 4-H
Club Steer Work Classification

Madison County All Steer show
in 1858 will be judged on a market
grade basis rather than placing top
to bottom in each breed class ac-
cording to a decision made by the
advisory group meeting at the Ex-
tension Office, Wednesday eve-
ming, September 18th. Harold
Houck presided as chairman of the
meeting. All 1857 steer club MEM
bers, parents, and livestock All
leaders were invited to attend. Of
those attending, 19 voted to change
to judging steer classes on a
market grade basis-versus 6 vot-
ing to retain present setup OF
placing top to bottom in each class
with a champion in each breed
and an over all champion.
I The decision means that each
4-Her showing a steer next year
will weigh steers on the first day
of fair as previously practiced and
if over 18 steers in a class breed
classes will be divided. Steers in
each class will be judged and
grouped by a packer judge into
Prime, Choice, or Good market
grade groups with each steer own
er receiving a rosette identifying
the market grade attained by show
day. Steers will sell individually
as before. All Prime steers will
sell first followed by Choice, and
then Good grade steers. Members
will draw for sale order within
market grade groups. Advantages
of this system was given as: ID
More educational - member will
have better idea of condition steers
have to be in to grade in each Of
the market grades which will be
nearer to a feeders situation. CD
More natural buying judgement
will be used in the fall in purchas-
ing calves. A high prime grade
price is the highest price one could
expect at the fair sale, therefore,
unusually high prices paid in the
past will be of no avail because no
champion as such will be sold. (3)
All exhibitors will be recognized
with a rosette stating market
grade attained. (4) Should be of
more educational value to folks
watching the show as to the kind
of cattle it takes to make the diff

Red Raiders Will
Meet Strong Team
Here Friday Mite

London High Schools Red Raid
ers will try for their first victory
of the regular football season
Friday night under the London
lights as they meet a strong
Northeastern squad. Coach Jim
Bowlus expects the veteran North
easterners to give the Raiders
a real fight, but Coach Bowlus
has been working the Raiders ex-
ira time this week preparing for
the game.
Due to heavy losses to gradua-
ton last year, Coach Bowlus will
field an eleven without too much
experience, but a team with the
will and desire to win games.
The squad, playing here in a
preview game last Friday night,
won decisive victory from the
xenia Woodrow Wilson eleven
and along with the game, vote
of confidence from the London
fans.
Making the first public appear
ance of the season will be Lon
don High Schools Marching Band,
under the direction of w. Ray
Creighton. Creighton announced
this week that no special forma-
tionS will be used in the Friday
night exhibition.
Instead of special show, the
London band will join the North
eastern band for the Star Span
gled Banner at the beginning of
the game, and will later march
on the field during halftime with
the Northeastern marching musici-
ans.
The Northeastern band, under
the direction of Robert Mcmillan,
is a fifty piece ensemble, approx
mately the same size as the Lon
don group
Last year the London band,
during the colorful Golden Ami
versary programs, proved high
light of the season, with precision
formations and music designed to
fit the particular theme of each
game. The Home Game appear
ances this year will also be tuned
to the special observances of the
particular nights.

Only Minor Hurt
Involved; Child
Treated, Locally

A Jonathan Alder district school
girl was slightly injured early
Thursday morning when struck
by a car passing a school bus ac-
cording to a report filed by the
London Post of the State High
way Patrol.
The reports indicated that Shir-
ley Hughes, seven-year-old daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Challie
Hughes, London Route 3, was the
victim. Patrolmen said the school
bus, driven by Henry L. Lindig,
80, had stopped, and the lights on
the bus were flashing, when the
car attempted to pass the bus.
The driver of the car, Retha Joy
Becker, Route 2, Mechanicsburg,
was cited into court on charge
of passing a school bus taking on
passengers. She was reportedly
driving at approximately 65 miles
per hour on the wet road, Route
% just east of the Route 38 cross
ing.
PatroImen said the child, a pupil
at Monroe School, was treated by
a London physician for contusions
and abrasions before being releas-
ed. They quoted the driver of the
car as saying she did not think
the school bus had stopped.
This was the first school bus
accident of the new school year,
and officers warned the public to
pay particular attention while
meeting or following school bus
ses. They emphasized that heavy
fines generally result from VIOLA
tionS of the traffic laws dealing
with school busses while discharg-
ing or taking on passengers. They
also emphasized that the fall rains
are expected to cause the roads to
be unusually slippery, and drivers
should exercise particular care.
The Madison County Sheriffs
department reported only a single
accident since Tuesday noon The
wreck involved a car and house
trailer towed by a truck. Both We
hicles were travelling east on Route
40, and the vehicle pulling the
trailer turned into the path of the
car, causing the trailer to be COM
pletely demolished when struck by
the car.
Calvin H cker, DonnelsviIle,
driver of the tow vehicle, was
charged with failure to yield, and
was cited into London Mayors
Court. Richard Young, 81, Winsor,
Connecticut, was the driver of the
automobile.
