BY JOSEPH b. KELLY
Star Racing Editor

You wouldn't expect to find
the boss of a flourishing horse
racing stable sweeping out the
tackroom but William H. Bishop
the friendly, outspoken Mid
western owner and trainer doesn't
mind pitching in to keep his barn
the way he likes it to look.
When he is not welding a
broom. Bishop either is winning
a race or planning how to win
one. Rival trainers have found
this to be an annoying habit but
its hard to find a trainer who
does not concede that the for
mer mule trader rates right with
the top men in the game of thor
oughbred conditioning.
Il don't believe I've ever had
a better stable of horses than
right now. I'm down to 26 head
and / feel like I'm loafing. In
the past I've had 40 to so but
now I've weeded out the poor
stock" Bishop explained en-
thusiastically.
Last spring, Bishop made his
first visit to Maryland and he
liked it. The fact that he sad
died IA winners during the 1856
Bowie meeting didn't hurt his
impression of racing in this
area, but sending out fit sharp
horses and placing them where
they figure to win is his knack.
Now Bishop believes he'll
change the procedure which he
has followed for IA years. In
the past. Bishop has raced in
Chicago during the spring and
summer and in New Orleans
during the late fall and winter.
I've just about made up my
mind TO stay in the East. After
Laurel it looks like we will ship
to Garden State and follow the
Jersey circuit through Mon
mouth and Atlantic City," Bishop
said.
This is bad news for the OPP
position. Although he did not
run a horse at Bowie until March
8, Bishop wound up the leading
trainer again with 10 winners.
When Re Joli won the first race
yesterday, it was his first at
Laurel.
Bishop believes the best horse
in his stable is the 5-year-oid
Ambiguous. who was unplaced in
the Capitol Handicap here, but
he also is high on the mare. Mrs.
Mark. who won Saturday in the
Cherry Blossom, and the 2-year-
old filly Melody Mine, who won
twice at Bowie.
He also believes he made a
smart buy when he claimed Will
of Allah from Hirsch Jacobs at
Bowie for $4,000.
Bishop also praises l9-year-old
Apprentice Frank Lovato, whose
contract he has leased.
when Frank got his pay for
the Bowie meet. ! believe that
check for more than $4,000 was
the largest amount of money he
ever held"
Il went to the bank with him
myself just TO impress on him
how important it was TO open an
account" the trainer explained
Bishop pays Lovato as If ht
were full-fledged rider rather
than for what his contract call;

Studying Plans
For New Building

DELAWARE, OHIO-PosSible
construction of a new high school
here remained under study by the
City Board of Education Tuesday
following tentative reports from
several architectural firms.
Supt. Carl Hopkins said no def
mite plans have been made but
emphasized the need for construc-
ton within the near future to meet
increased enrolment.
Architects estimated actual con-
Struction would require a mini
mum of 18 months. The board has
estimated two and one-haif years
for the project including submis-
sion of a bond issue Hopkins said.
Hopkins said architects reports
indicated that other Ohio conmu-
mites have constructed senior high
school buildings at higher cost, US
ing the old building as a junior
high. It was still undecided wheth-
er a new building here would be a
senior or junior high.

Controversy Not

The wrangle, which began un-

was filed in court to reimpose an
injunction on the parking lot job.

the project at that time, but this
order is now being appealed
The Court of Appeals action was
filed in behalf of Arthur Wilkin

An injunction has been placed on
the project twice, and twice re-
moved in subsequent court hear

Sewage Rates In
Springfield Take
First Big Raise

SPRINGFIELD, OHIO - This
city's sewage treatment headache
will get its first taste of financial
aspirin.
The m e dicine, recommended
since 1852 by the Ohio Water
Pollution Control Board, will come
in the form of sewer rental rate in
creases, approved by the City
Commission.
The control board has ordered
the caty to improve the present
plant. Secondary treatment facili-
ties are needed, according to an
nouncements of the rate increase.
City Manager Harold r. Cheek
said the rate increase reflects the
money needed to pay for a $685.
834 deficit in the proposed 1857
municipal budget for sewage dis
posal. and for the payment of the
report and plans and specifications
for the improvements.
The new rate scale will charge
80 cents for the first 1000 cubic
feet of water used for sewage dis
posal. The old rate was AZ cents
For the next $4,000 cubic feet the
new rate requires 73 cents per
1000 cubic feet. The old rate was
38 cents.
The next 10000 cubic feet is to
cost 55 cents per 1000 cubic feet
Consumers in that rate bracket
were paying % cents per 1000 Gu
bic feet.
The next 100000 cubic feet is to
cost 36 cents per 1000 cubic feet
The old rate was 19 cents per 1000
cubic feet. All figures are on a
quarterly basis.
The new minimum annual charge
for sewage rental is to be $3.50
The old charge was 50.

dangerous side affects such as dis
turbed sense of balance, nausea,
stupor, tremors, swelling and even
collapse of blood vessels. They can
make mental depression even deep

as an aftermath.
This is bad enough but there is
perhaps an even greater danger.
The anti-worry pill boom reflects
a widespread tendency to try to
find peace of mind through easy

MarysvilIe Acts
To Get Parking
Lot For People

MarySville, Ohio - Two emer-
gency ordinances, pass by
Marysville council in a brief last
week session, put an official seal
on action approved at their regul-
ar Jan. "a meeting
One ordinance provided for the
sale of $4,000 in off-street park
ing bonds to the police and fire
mems pension and relief funds.
The second authorized purchase
of the residence side of the old
Tribune building, S Main St, from
Joseph B. Grigsby at a price of
$4,000.
The property, which had been
appraised at S16,70O is expected to
accommodate between 25 and 80
cars.
First concrete action toward
possible purchase of the Tribune
building, itself, also was taken
when council authorized the park
ing committee to make a cash Of
fer for the site.
Site of the Tribune building,
owned by the Shearer interests,
could be expected to add space for
at least a dozen more cars, but
chief advantages in the acquisition,
would be better parking arrange
ment.
Councilman Ray Hairless point
ed out that if the Tribune space
could be acquired, it would pro-
vide a three-way entrance to the
combined Tribune, Grigsby and
previously-purchased Vollrath lots.
With three entrances-Sixth ST.,
Main ST., and an alley entrance
the parking area could be so ar
ranged as to make more actual
space available, Hairless noted.
The Vollrath property currently
accommodates an estimate of
about eight cars comfortably. Cow
ering of the Town Run portion of
the lot would almost double the
figure.

Sale Of Drug Is

Condition Of us.

If sales of the new tranquilizing
drugs are any indication, the en-
tire nation is sitting on the anxi-
Gus seat. Doctors are beginning to
be alarmed at the American peo-
pies rush to buy these "anti-wor-
ry" pills.
There's no doubt that the new
drugs have been a great help in
treating certain types of patients
in mental hospitals. Doctors find
their quieting action valuable for
patients suffering abnormal ankle
ty-that is, when the drugs are
taken under proper supervision.
Unfortunately, the drugs aren't
always taken under proper condi-
tions or for sufficient reason. Peo-
pie for whom the drugs have been
prescribed are handing them out
to their friends as if they were as
harmless as aspirin. There are ru-
mors of large black market" ped
ding of the tranquiliZers without
prescription, contrary to regula-

Like many other valuable drugs,
tranquiliZerS are not harmless.

Child Should Be
Prepared To Meet
New Experiences

Every child will respond differ
emily to new experiences, depend
ing on his individual makeup and
his past experiences, states DIR.
Ruth Heeflin, associate professor
in the child and family develop
ment division, School of Home Ec-
onomics at The Ohio State Uni
VerSity.
Being taken to new place may
mean pleasant possibilities to /
child and be disturbing to another.
The way a parent prepares the
child for the new experience can
make the difference between a
child's smooth, happy adjustment
or his absolute failure to have con-
fidence, explains the home econom-
ist.
There are several points which
might help the child adjust easily
to new situations:
Talk about the new experience.
Tell the child as nearly as possible
exactly what is going to happen.
When going to the hospital. he
should be prepared for soreness or
pain, but not frightened about the
outcome. If the child is told that
he will be well after an operation,
he expects to be well the minute
he wakes up.
If the new experience will take
place at a specific place, go with
the child for a visit to acquaint
him with the surroundings. 1t may
be hospital ward, his first school
room, or a strange home where he
is TO spend the afternoon.
Become personally acquainted
with an new people who will be
working with your child, so that
the child knows they are his
friends and can be trusted, sug,
