areas and homes.
The proposed bill does not
permit abolishment of existing
permit holders, but does give
each community the right to
fix a quota below that of the
state-with the approval Of the
local voters.
Lobbyists are working to
defeat the bill. So we trust that
all residents, interested in keep
ing Our Town a decent COM
munity, will mail the coupon
appearing elsewhere on this
page AT ONCE!
Your personal views in a
letter, OF resolution from or
ganizations, will have much
weight with the committee and
the legislature Don't wait
do it now.
TRAVELLERS. City officials
in Our Town are wearing a
deep path between here and
the state Capitol.
Finance Director Grant APP
thorp is almost commuter as
he shuttles back and forth
fighting for and against pro-
posed legislation.
Judge Adams is as feared
in Columbus as he is by wary
motorists here. There is also
much respect for his advice and
knowledge by state officials. He
presently is traversing on be-
half of better liquor and hit
skip laws.
Police Chief HIS. Weaver. as
executive secretary of the Ohio
Association of Police Chiefs
gets to Columbus frequently
on official business.
TRAVELLED. Back from a
Florida vacation is City Man
ager Charles A. Carran. Now,
he too will be heading for the
state capitol.
All this goes to show the
concern there is for bills before
the General Assembly. If these
officials didn't make the effort,
there is no telling what bills
detrimental to the community
might get by.
They are serving the city I'M
Columbus as they do here.
OUR TRAVELS last week
took US to three different
churches with each visit leav-
ing lasting impression.
First, there was the quiltingI
bee at the Calvary Lutheran
Church. We marveled at Mrs.
Josephine Stuewe, Mrs. Ruth
Hina. and Mrs. Bernard Pettet
as they practiced a rare art
in the auietness of the church
basement.
The thought of the warmth
and coziness, the huge quilt will
bring someone on cold winter
nights was pleasant. There is
no doubt the attractive patch
work quilt they worked on so
long and diligently will be first
to go at the church's hobby
show.
Next we visited the First
United Presbyterian Church
and kept DR.. Wells waiting as.
we listened in as 10 little ladies
in peddle pushers, pigtails and
T-shirts rehearsed for Family
Sunday, May 21st.
Under the direction of Mrs.
William Mabel, with Mary
Gabriel, at the piano, the young
sters chattered and sang and
chattered son,e more.
1t puzzled US. How would
they ever be ready for the
coming event? Then Mrs. Mabel
played a recording tape of
previous songfests and there
left nothing to worry about.
Somehow, out of the confu-
sion comes blended voices that
dig at the heart strings in
sounding like music straight
from heaven.
Last Sunday, we were at
Windermere Methodist and
heard Rev. Alexander take
time to urge those in attendance
to support the pro ,osed liquor
bill. That his VIC IDS did not
fall on deaf ears was apparent
because 384 signatures went
on petitions circulated after
services.
Our name was mentioned
from the pulpit and we feared
for the safety of the church.
However, the giant, solid stone
pillars didn't collapse, and we
were proud to be mentioned in
such fine company.
Our travels last week left a
warm feeling and don't be sur
prised if we drop in your
church soon.
Anything coming up?
