Taft Believed To
Be STANDBY" For
Governors Race

COLUMBUS. OHIO - (Special)
Charles P. Taft, Cincinnati, was
believed to be the standby" can
didate for Governor of Ohio should
c. William O'Neill be unable TO
run. Governor O'Neill suffered a
slight heart attack a short time
ago and some speculation has been
expressed concerning his condition
since that time.
Republican State Chairman,
Ray Bliss, will maintain hands-off
policy concerning the reported
standby candidacy of Taft, it was
said. Taft is the brother of the late
Ohio senator, Robert A. Taft. He
said that his position was one of
precaution should O'Neill decide
not to run which might leave the
Republicans without a candidate.
However, it was made plain by
chairman Bliss that medical re-
ports showed O'Neill to be fit and
that there is mo need for another
candidate"

Routed BY Fire

Fire late Saturday destroyed
the second house on the Harold
Fisher farm in less than a month,
and no cause for either fire has
been determined. T he Fisher
home. in the Plumwood-R -Resaca
community, burned about two
weeks ago at loss of several
thousand dollars, and on Saturday
the tenant house, occupied by Mr..
and Mrs. Cletus DeLong, burned.
None of the household furnish
ings were saved, despite efforts of
the Jefferson Township fire fight
ers. None of the six occupants of
the house were injured, but all
clothing was destroyed, and none
of the property was covered by in
surance.
Residents of the community, in
drive spearheaded by Mr.. and
Mrs. Glenn Dillon, have already
put the DeLong family back into
a house, and have furnished it al
most completely. The community
was busy all day Sunday, as well
as Saturday night, in making
plans to give the burned out fami-
ly a new home in the community.
Leaders in the community prais-
ed their fellow-citizens for the
quick response to the dire needs
of their neighbor.

Action Taken To
Cut Impossible
Salary Ordinance

The squabble over a business
place opening in Merriman Addi-
tion to West Jefferson continued
Monday evening, taking up more
than an hour of the long council
session. The zoning regulations
prohibit business operation in the
addition, but no action had been
taken to close the beauty shop un-
til Monday evening.
The operator of the shop, Edna
Love, had presented a petition to
the Zoning Commission, and the
zoning commission had recon-
mended that council act favorably.
The next action is for public
hearing which has been scheduled
for March in the regular council
chamber.
On motion by Councilman Car
ter and seconded by Councilman
Sites, Mayor Homer Braithwaite
was ordered to notify the business
to suspend operations until after
the hearing. 1t was pointed out
that she was, and had been, oper-
ating in direct violation Of the or
dinance establishing the zoning
regulations.
In the discussion it was pointed
out that there is a probability that
many other business places may be
operating illegally in zoned areas,
but Mayor Braithwaite stated that
he had had no formal complaints
of such operations, but emphasized
that he did not listen to every

ST. Patrick's New School
Opened For Classes; Nearly
1O0OA Sunday 0pen-House
New Building On
Elm Street Was
Big Coop Work

Pupils of St. Patrick's Parish
went to classes in their new school
on Elm Street for the first time
Monday after open house cere-
monies Sunday afternoon. Classes
for all grades have moved from
the old site on Walnut Street, and
the former property is now owned
by the London Board of Educa-
ton.
At the open house program Sun
day nearly 1000 people went
through the new structure which
is still going through considerable
finishing. The four classrooms,
the utility rooms and the all
purpose assembly room have been
ready for occupancy, but many
fine details remain to be complet-
ed.
The pupils had moved their per-
sonal property out of the old
building last week, and carried all
books and personal equipment to
the school in the sub-freezing
weather Monday. Most parents
brought their children in cars, and
will probably continue to do so
until satisfactory transportation
system is arranged. Father Ed
ward Reidy said no definite plans
for transportation are in the MAX
ing.
The new structure was started
through cooperative efforts of the
parish, the London Board of Edu-
cation and several civic-ninded
London business and professional
men. A holding company was org
anized TO purchase the Catholic
School system until d bond issue
could be approved by the voters
The money the business people
paid for the school enabled the
parish to start their construction
work. (When the bond issue was
approved the businessmen turned
the old parish property over to the
Board of Education for expansion
of the present city schools.)
With the four classrooms, St.
Patrick's School now served 12O
children of the first through the
seventh grades. Four teachers
handle two classes each every day.
They are Sister Mary Anita.
R.S.M., 3 and 4; Sister Mary Aud
rey, R.SM., l and 2; Sister Mary
Francisco, R.SM., z and 8; and
Mrs. Catharine Dearman, 5 and S.
Father Edward Reidy expressed
the thanks of the parish to all who
supported the efforts of the
church in helping to make the
school a reality, and said the CO.
operation of the community had
been marvellous. The members of
st. Patrick's Parent Teacher Asso-
citation acted as hosts during the
Sunday Open House. and served
refreshments to those who went
through the building Mrs Troxell
Laybourne. president of the p
IA. was in charge of the recep-
tion group. The open house pro-
gram started at noon and contin-
ued until after 500 pm.

for his research in the fields of
both goitre and cancer. He had
retired three years ago after a
near half century of practice re-
ceiving patients from all over the
world at his offices in Columbus.
Though goitre had been his first
great field of endeavor, he later
devoted much time to research for
treatment for cancer; at one time
he thought he had found cure
for the latter disease and he found
ed what is now known as the Co
lumbus Cancer Clinic. which has
done a great work in this area.
Numerous honors accorded DR..
Crotti in the field of medicine,
both at home and abroad, were of
the highest order.
He is survived by his wife,
Marie Gwynne Crotti, an aunt of
B. Gwynne Burr and Karl E.
Burr, Jr., both of London. whose
family were pioneers in Madison
County and whose large land hold
ings in the county she still owns;
a daughter, Mrs. Maurice G..

children.
A brother, Jean Crotti, famed
artist of Paris, France, died there

hours after the death of Dr. Croft
