Ground Broken Sunday For
New St. PatriCk's School,
Near Northern City Limits
Father Reidy Is
First To Turn
Shovel OF Earth

Ground was broken Sunday on
st. Patrick's II acre plot where
new S144,000 school is to be
constructed. Construction is to get
underway in the next few days,
and it is expected that the build
ing will be ready for occupancy
by the first of 1858. The present
structure on South Walnut street
will be used until that time ac-
cording to member of the ex-
ecutive committee of the build
ing group.
A committee member said Sun
day that the plans call for the
erection of six classroons, a social
room, administrative offices and
kitchen and cafeteria facilities. It
is to be built on the tract recently
purchased just inside the city
limits north of London Fair
grounds on Route 49,
The present site of st. Patrick's
school has been purchased by a
collapsible corporation of public
spirited citizens, in order to make
the property available for use by
the London City School System
after passage of a bond issue this
fall.
The move between the three
groups - The St. Patrick's Board,
The London School System and
the Corporation Members, has
been called one of the finest COM
munity projects ever conceived
here. The Catholic Church group
was praised for their noble COM
munity service in giving the Lon
don School System a first chance
at the property which is located
in the logical place for expansion
by the City Schools.
| The S144,OO0 building cost does
not include the purchase price for
the II acre site, which is located
in an area appearing to be one
of the most logical development
sites around London.
In the ceremony blessing the
site for the proposed building
Father Reidy offered the tradi-
; tional prayer of the church for
= the occasion: Our Help is in the
name of the Lord who made
Heaven and Earth, the Lord be
; with you and with thy spirit. Let
> us Pray. Oh God from whom
everything Good takes its origin
: and receives its steady and full
: growth, grant, we beseech Thee
e that what we are starting tC
1 build for the glory of Thy Name
: may, by the everpresent aid o.
thy Fatherly wisdom, be brought
p to completion, through Christ oul
n Lord, Amen"
e After blessing the grounds
l. Father Reidy turned over the frs
l. shovel of earth, and told the au
dience that construction worI
= should start this week. He ais.
" brought them up to date on tn
plans and asked for their aid i

HEADLINE
Man Acquitted In Union

book this is a lot better than
going home in barrel!
FASHION
After looking at some of the
swim fashions of today, we
have come to the conclusion
that a bathing suit is just a
flimsy excuse.
RICHES
The tax boys have reversed
at least one American trait.
Nowadays a rich man tries to
get as poor as possible before
passing on.
MARRIAGE
Marriage is simply the diff
ference between painting the
town red and painting the
bathroom blue.

When a woman puts her
hand out of the car window,
YOU can be sure of one thing
the windows open!
LABOR

He saw a sign along a high

he got to them-they were!
PEOPLE
People are funny. You can
tell a man that there are "a
septillion stars in the heavens
and he will believe it but he's
sure to stick his finger in wet
paint.
REMEDY
Doctor says the best way
to cure hiccups is to stand on
your head. This treatment is
also highly recommended for
curing corns.
KID STUFF
Heard a story the other day
about a mother who lost her
little four-year-old girl in a

a frantic search the child was
found standing with group OF
Nuns. The relieved mother ex-
claimed. II hope that little
Gertrude didn't cause you any

"Oh. no." said the Mother
Superior, Somehow she seems
to think we are penguins"
FACT
And every time we hear q

Our own idea of automatior
