Church Women To
Aid World Needy
In Efforts Here

World Community Day, sponsor
ed by United Church Women, will
be observed in London, Friday,
November 1, at pm. in the Pres
byterian Church.
Miss Margaret Brughler of the
Ohio Council of Churches, will tell
of her experiences in travelling for
CROP" and will illustrate her
talk with slides.
Church women from all denomi-
nations can further help by parti-
cipation in positive program for
sharing, say those who sponsor the
idea. This, they say, can be done
through response to the request
from the organization that all who
attend the meeting, take with them
Parcels for Peace" containing
warm clothing, household linens,
materials, blankets, denim for
work clothes, and other materials
to aid overseas needy.
This observance, the committee
stressed, includes not only mean
ingful service, but also an oppor-
tunity through the offering, to be-
come an active participant in
building better world community
in the program for peace and spe-
cial self-help projects.
Men, women and children of this
community were urged to attend
and take part in the observance of
the special day.
The committee in promoting
World Community Day emphasiz-
ed, Headlines each day tell of the
emerging nations and their plea.
The observance of World Com
munity Day can help give church
women a better understanding
necessary to build policy for
peace in these restless areas. Our
future may be determind by what
takes places in the emerging coun-
iris"

Would Cost DC
For Each 500
OF EvaIuation

London voters will be asked to
decide on a a mill levy at the No
vember election for the benefit of
the city's recreation program. The
levy was put on the ballot at the
request of the Citizens Council for
Recreation, and through the ap-
proval of City Council
According to the recreation COM
mittee, the city's recreational pro-
gram is apparently doomed unless
TIE public gives approval to the
extra levy for the recreational op-
GRAFTON program. They pointed out
that it will amount to about four
cents per hundred dollars taxable
property evaluation.
Members of the recreational
council pointed out that during the
past year the recreation council
provided "canteen" meetings dur
ing the winter with group partici-
patton games, individual develop
ment games and individual instruc-
tion in handicrafts on certain eve
nings, as well as winter swimming
for many of the city's younger peo-
pie. All activities at the winter
"canteens" were under trained
supervision.
During the summer months, the
recreation program was carried
out with wide range of programs
designed to suit the needs of
everybody from the tots through
the teens, according to the report
prepared by the council.
Specialized training in several
games was provided for older
youth, while the younger people,
down through the very young,
were given the approved entertain
ment and participation. Facilities
were available, under close super
vision for the young people to par
III IdNOIltC ACTIVITY,
as we'll as to learn new games and
sports.
The group emphasized that the
present facilities must be expand
ed, and new equipment added if
the program of summer recreation
is to continue. They said the spe-
cial levy will make the continual
tion of the program possible, but.
failure of the levy may result in
complete lack of an organized rec
reation program for the younger
people of the city, and the city
school area.
Council members of the recrea-
tional group pointed out that dur
ing the past year several additions
were made to the playground and
recreation area to make for a bet
ter program, but will be to no
avail if the special levy is not pass
ed by the voters.

son South, Madison Local, Midway,
South Solon and Fairfield closed

Schools closed Wednesday. Most of
the schools had reported high alb
senteeism in the classes prior to

teachers dropped below the neces-
sary level.
Fridays football game between

Lions Club Plan
Sale Of Bulbs On
Nov. | In London

The members of the London
Lions Club are having their annual
light bulb sale this year on Novem-
Der 1 according to an announce
ment made this week. The mem
bers will make the rounds asking
householders to buy a bag of as
sorted commonly used size bulbs
for $500.
Not that there is any particu-
lar service to housewives in having
bulbs delivered right to the door
although it is convenient to have
spare bulbs around the house -
but the real value in this campaign
lies in the use to which the pro-
ceeds are put" President Paul
Good pointed out. He added that
THE major welfare project of
Lions Clubs around the world is
their program of sight saving, espe-
cially for children, and our local
Lions are no exception to these
other groups. Even since the club
was organized the members have
worked to help in providing funds
for testing school children's vision,
and in those cases where the fami-
ly cannot afford to purchase eve
glasses, arrangements are made to
buy the needed lenses and have
them fitted to the children.
People of London are accustom-
ed to the annual spring rose sale"
conducted by the Lions. Now a fall
fund-campaign will help to swell
the welfare fund treasury so that
even more children can be outfitted
with the glasses that they need SO
badly" President Good emphas-
lied.
He said, 1T is important for
Londoners to remember this when
answering the call of the Lions on
November 1st. Every cent of the
money realized as profit from this
sale will be used for the sight-sav-
ing program. None of the profits
are diverted to club operation or
Lions social events"
THUS" he added, "Iouseholders
will be getting double value for
the money they spend for these
bulbs. They will be getting a bag
full of name brand light bulbs at
the regular retail price; and they
will have the satisfaction of know
ing that they are helping some
needy youngster to have his i'm
paired vision corrected"
This is a most worthy cam
paign. Chairman K. r. Fichner and
his fellow Lions will be out in full
force on November 1. Wait for
them - Watch for them - And
buy bagful of bulbs!' is the re-
quest of all members of the Lions
Club.
This year the Lions Club ad-
ded to their program through
building double outdoor fireplace
at the Children's Home and by
helping several needy families.

Troffie Stopped In Traffic Ordinances
West Jefferson Council Tables All
Action On Traffic Regulations

West Jefferson's Village Council
tabled two major ordinances at
their Monday night session, after
councilmen reported that the pub
lie opinion is not in favor of the
passage of the two measures, both
dealing with traffic on the streets
of the village.
According to the tabled ordin-
ance the traffic on the following
streets would be limited to one
way north on North West Street,
South Twin Street, South Chester
Street, Frey Avenue and North
Hampton between Slaven Avenue
and Main Street. Traffic would be
limited to south one way on South
West Street, South Heath Stree,
Pond Street, Garfield Avenue and
North Franklin beteWeen Slaven
Avenue and Main Street West
bound traffic would be prohibited
on Lilly Chapel Road between
Frey and Garfield.
The other tabled ordinance
would prohibit parking on the west
side of South Twin Street, South
Chester Street, North Hampton,
North West and South Walnut. 1t
would also prohibit parking on the
east side of South West Street,
South Heath Street, South Pond
Street, North Walnut Street, Gar
field Avenue and Franklin Street
between Slaven Avenue and Main
Street. The same ordinance would
prohibit parking on either side of
Bridge Street between Town and
Main, and South Street between
Walnut and Center.
Council members had pointed out
at earlier meetings that public
opinion is opposed to the ordinance,
and that traffic regulation in the
affected areas could be better han
died through strict enforcement of
the present traffic regulations in
the village. 1t was emphasized that
there have almost never been any
arrests on charges of violating the
traffic regulations, especially illeg-
al parking. Further consideration
will be given before the tabled
ordinances are brought up for a
final vote, according to the council
members.
In other action Council read a
letter from the Ohio Department
of Health relative to the permit to
empty sewage into the public wat
ers, and were informed that the
permit is dependent upon a steady
flow of work toward the enlarged
and improved sewage treatment
facilities. They also voted to give
first approval to an ordinance va
eating 1900 square feete of land, an
unnamed alley, between South
Chester and South Heath.
In discussion, council talked of
an ordinance to take issuance of
sewage tap permits and collection
of tap fees out of the hands of the
mayor, and putting the RESPONSE
bility on the Board of Public AT
fairs. They also tossed around the
idea of a charter form of govern
ment for the village, but took no
action in getting a charter move
ment started.
