While the aoldiera were to have free treatment some o f the par- J'O** of the boys as well ■as many of #he world veterans opponly opposed smd( a move. Another factor was the location of the hospital and who were to serve on the board left people in the dark and they refused to lend any •id to the project, Under the law the govornon would appoint the board to erectJhe building and select the site. Many seemed to, have the idea that the Hobart Estate being sold toFrank Dodds of 3Cepia was part of a deal to onload seme on the county at a huge price. Mr, Dodds’ friends held that suchwas not the case and friends of tfie hospital movement regard the an­ nouncement o f such • deal as unfor­ tunate, coming at the time it: did. Mr. Dodds took oyer this estate to tenable Wm to perfect a civic center plan he has had in view a$ne time. Qf all the reasons assigned prob ably the strongest force was the op^ -position from the aland point o f tax­ ation, There were many . that felt this'was not the time to increase the taxes regardless of the merits of the hospital, ■ The soldier vote failed to line' up for- the hospital as was^expected.

One great reason besides the high cost o f labor was the general exodus of the’ rural population to larger cen- terri ..Teachers, preachers, lecturers and journalists pointed out to the youth of the farm the possibilities of the- city, so that they -might become powerful and influential in the eyes of the world.

How would you like to work along the Miamariver and pick up 815,000? Pretty nice, isn’t it f That is just what Phillip Becker, who divides his .time between Cincin­ nati and Daytoh, said yesterday, after he had found a pearl.

He has already found several small ones* but the rscent dig- covery*is the biggest. Pitching his ten along the river*he spends ,hours hunting - mussels. When cold Weather Comes, Becker strikes his tent and goes back to Cin cinnati to re-engage in the aaddriry business.

M “Pearl hunting is dangerous,” he said, in speaking of his find last night* “but it’s a healthful1'pursuit and sometimes pays* as in this ca»C.” Becker has not yet determinedwhat he will do with his find* but in the meantime he says he will continue his pearl hunting. and-bamon Ins farm east of town.
