Fire Thursday afternoon des-
troyed the six room, two-story

eral farm and civic organizations

Driver OF Tow
Car Charged For
Unsafe Operation

A school bus loaded with 81 chill
dren was involved, at no fault of
the driver, in a four vehicle acci-
dent on Route az Tuesday after
noon. None of the children were
injured, and damage to the bus
was comparatively light.
State Patrolmen, reporting the
accident, said the bus, driven by
Donald B. Claar, 40, a driver for
the Deercreek School District was
stopping to discharge children
when an approaching car properly
and legally stopped on the opposite
side of the highway. Another car,
which was towing a second vehicle
crashed into the parked car, and
slung the towed car into the side
of the school bus.
Patrolmen reported that the
driver of the tow-bar vehicle, Har-
ry E. Easterwood, Fremont, Ohio,
was charged with unsafe opera
ton. His hearing is scheduled for
later this week
No charge was placed against
the driver of the car which had
been parked at the time of impact.
(Ohio state law specifies that all
traffic from both directions must
stop upon approaching a stopped
school bus in the area where the
accident occurred).
State Patrolmen reported that
later Tuesday vehicle driven by
a Florida man was involved in an
accident at the 29-42 junction
north of London. According to the
reports, the vehicle, semi-trailer,
applied the brakes when approach
ing the intersection and the trailer
skidded to the right striking a car
parked at the gas pump of a filling
station. No injuries were involved
and damage was not excessive, ac-
cording to the reports.
In another accident still later
Tuesday, Warren driver failed to
make curve on Old Route 40 in
Summerford The driver, identified
as Andrew Gold Jr., was not in
jured, but damaged the car heav-
lily. He also destroyed about 20
feet of metal guardrail.

Central, S. SoIon
Firemen Called
For Two BIazes

Central Townships Firemen and
South Solon fighters were called
to two separate fires Tuesday
morning, and in both instances the
damages were kept to a minimum.
Three Central Townships fight
erS answered a call at 800 am. to
the residence of Alfred Erwin, Neil
Road near Florence Switch. They
found that fire had started in a
washer-dryer installation, but had
been got under control when they
arrived. They joined in completely
extinguishing the blaze and pre-
venting another outbreak.
No estimates of damage were a.
vailable, but smoke, fire and water
caused considerable damage to
walls of the buildings.
Firemen pointed to the lack Of
serious damage, and stressed the
Importance of calling the fire de-
partment early in a fire. A few
minutes delay can result in humid
reds of dollars damage according
to their statement.
The South Solon Fire, which
broke out early (about 200 ann
in Gordon's Restaurant, caused
considerable fire and smoke dam
age in the restaurant section of the
building.
No definite cause of the fire had
been found at press time, but it
was believed that the flames start
ed from a chimney where the dam
age was heaviest.
The operator of the restaurant,
Mrs. Blanche Gordon, reported the
fire after she was awakened by
the cracking burning sound. Upon
her investigation she found heavy
smoke and fire already underway.
The South Solon Fire Depart
ment had the blaze under control
within a few minutes, keeping
damage to a minimum. They also
stressed the fact that early report
ing of the fire probably saved the
building and possibly lives of oc-
cupantS in adjoining buildings.

all-color motion pictures, including
the feature picture Heavens to
Betsy" and will include demonstra-
tions and displays of new tractors

The feature Heavens to Betsy"
is described as a picture tailored
to the tastes Of modern farm folks
and which centers around a typi-
cal farm wife and mother who, to
her own surprise, is nominated as
a candidate for Mother of the
Year" According to c. D. Blair,
owner of the implement firm, it is
a Gfelike story that intimately
touches upon the trials, the ankle
ties, the joy, and the comedy which
is so much a part of family life and
which makes the fictious Roper
family seem as "the folks next
door"
Lunch will be served the guests
at the noon hour.

Scouts Call Off
Challenge Camp
In Sub-Zero Snap

Scout Leaders announced early
Friday that the planned Boy Scout
Camporee for Saturday and SUM-
day had been postponed because of
the sub-zero weather which came
after plans for the trip to the open
spaces were made.
Scoutmasters said the trip had
been planned as a challenge to the
boys, but the extreme cold was
more than they had expected. The
scouts were prepared to submit to
sub-freezing weather, but had not
planned for below zero tempera-
lures. Their equipment was not
sufficient for use in extreme cold.
The cold snap also caused an
xiety among parents and some of
the scouts who had planned TO at
tend.
