CEDARVILLE, 01 CH11,1927 •NOSUBSIDY FORCOLEGE; BILLDEFEATED TTsrt Colleges of Ohio Relieved In Defeat of Measure Which Was Unfair — Warm Contest At Finish The Wilmington college subsidy bill offered in the legislature by Sen. ( ? ) Marshall o f this, county, lies in the legislative graveyard. It really was a corpse from last Thursday, but the sponsors held on thing , while there was life there was some hope. Prom 'that day until Tuesday it never re­ gained consicousness. The post mou­ trun revealed that it was suffering from a cancerous affection from which there was no hopes. Once the legislative surgeons cut into the hody o f the bill, conditions were found ,worse than the original diagnosis indicated and the bill was interred .with out embali^jng or ceremony. With the interests o f some forty other colleges at stake the contest over this bill, which was termed the most vicious and underhanded legisla­ tion, backed, with public sentiment, it was going to be a Roman holiday for Governor Donahey, when the veto pen was once in operation. The subsidy bill attracted as much or more inter­ est than did the famous Bible reading bill two years ago, and the Governor’s mail began to show results when . at one time it looked like the measure, regardless o f all the misrepresenta­ tion, to secure passage, might become a law. * As fo r log rolling, juggling and legislative cavorting, nothing like it has happened.in years in the Ohio legislature. The issue was not poli- ideal and party lines were not drawn. The passage o f the bill insured al­ most a war among church supported institutions and several thousand alumni friends o f the institutions. In­ dications pointed to a ' now isdUe in politics in the state but the defeat o f the bill clears the atmosphere in legislative circles fo r other business that was held up over this contest. $2,500 to $4,000. He charged that $60,000 o f the $212,000 was to be used tobuy a herd o f cattle and buy land adjoining the college in Wilmington. Knapp sent a prolonged silence over over the House when he said: “What 1 want to know is: Who has nomiT cattle and some land to sell?” Rep. Routson declared he was a friend o f education but held su rf/an appropriation would be damaging to education and tp Wilmington college. He said further: “ The finance com­ mittee 'has visited all other institu­ tions in Ohio, but it has never been to Wilmington College or made any survey to determine whether this is the proper place to locate another in­ stitution. There has been a lot of horse play in connection with this appropriation It shouldn't be necess­ ary 'fo r the president and members o f the college to decend to the level of common ordinary ward politicians to put this across. I am opposed to the state entering into a contract with any religious organization.” The measure was supported in the House'ey Representative Hazzard of Clinton county, who> is chairman of House Utility Committee. It is generally conceeded that had the measure reached Gov, Donahey, it was sure to bo vetoed. Frineds of other colleges over Ohio were prepar­ ed to* present a solid front to the Governor. Political organizations, lunch clubs, civic bodies, o f all kinds ever Ohio were ready to implore the Governor for a veto. Church organic cations would also have been found protesting the bill. The purpose o f the bill was purely political and represents the Marshall- Pembertbn bra-ad o f politics in . the Fifth-Sixth district. Pemberton is a former lobbyist for Cincinnati liquor interests and a professional lobbyist about the legislature.

STREETREPAIR BEFORECOUNCIL Council met Monday evening When matters o f business were transacted and the usual monthly bills allowed. There was some discussion as to street repair for Xenia ave,, when the weather opens up. The street is much in need o f repairs at this time. This is the fifteenth of a series of- ortieles that will appear each week in this newspaper dealing With Ohio’s problem o f increasing insanity. These articles are spon­ sored by the Ohio Association for „ the Welfare o f the Mentally Sick, which has but one objective, nnmciy, more scientific ar.d more humane treatment o f mentally sick patierits in state hospitals and •the rapid rehabilitation of these unfortunates. J Meiltil sickness usually starts early in life Of the patient. The actual de­ lusions, changes in conduct, etc., may he rathe? late manifestations and are the, usual signs that are looked for. which cause the patient to be sent ti ati asylum. Nature, unaided, has very great defensive powers and this per­ mits the disease to be present for many years before such symptoms <*rop out# The same tfe true in heart disease and kidney disease, artery disease, tuberculosis. The greatest aid to the physician in ti»e treatment o f *any disease is his a- billty to discover it early, before there has been much damage. This* likewise applies to mental sickness, The ear­ lier the diseased condition is discov­ ered. or the earlier the causes o f men­ tal sickness are discovered, the better chance there is o f restoring the pa­ tient to normal physical diseaases that rate so high in our mortality tables. Mistakes may be made in advanced work o f this character with the school child—that ■is, a given case may be thought to be t , an incipent case of mental sickness j that might never develop into mental j illness, but the appropriate corrective ’ ‘ measures at that time will at least ‘ aid materially in the mental develop­ ment o f the child in any ease. - To catch these cases early we must employe skilled medical examiners who have been especially trained in early discovery o f mental disease, We can not depend upon visiting nurse# to carry on this work because they have, not been trained fo r such Work and when they do discover a case it # unusually in the advanced stages, j mlieating that much valuable time - has been lost in the treatment. IN HIGH SCHOOL PERIOD Mayor McFarland reported $80 col­ lected as fines and, licenses fo r the month. B. E. McFarland, chairman o f the Poor committee read a letter from a JameBtown physician that caused a bit o f comment and some jesting, It concerned what the physician termed a pauper case here yet the Poor com­ mute or any member of council had not been solicited fo r aid. Mr. McFar­ land stated that he had presented the letter to Solicitor Harry D. Smith, who held that the law did not provide for hospital bills and council could not legally pay them. Medical aid in the corporation could be provided hut under physicians cmployeed by coun­ cil, In as much as the State Bureau o f Accounting has approved o f the plan adopted by council, which was laid out under the present law*, council will Continue to provide relief to the needy in conformity to the law. Any- other -course would make the mem­ bers o f council personally responsible for bills incurred.. orm. For the Deled girja Little was the outstanding “star, - Wednesday night at the Alford the locals met real professionals An All- Star team, picket from Dayton’s best, took a game by the score o f 28-22. The visitors presented a company Of fast dribblers, shifting passes nnd accurate shots* During the first half, not one field goal was made by Cedar­ ville, A t the half Dayton led by a 19- 6, score. In the last period the visi­ tors slowed up their pace and the Borstites, taking advantage o f every opportunity, drew up <to within 8 points o f the vicotrs For Cedarville Little and Rockhold played best. Matusoff and Longneck- er were the scoring aces o f the Day- ton quintet. Sackstetter played a fine guard game All were former col­ lege basketball stars In the preliminary Cedarville High Second team lost to Selma by a score o f 19-8. WHAT IT MEANS TO SOCIETY. Every case so discovered and treat­ ed early means that society is sav­ ed the expense of later commitment with less chance of recovery. One thousand cases, o f one type o f mental disease are being sent into our state hospitals in Ohio annually. •They cost on an average o f $6,000 a piece to the stated fo r their average of 1 years o f custodial care.

GRAIN COMPANY MEMBERS HOLD ANNUAL MEETING The stockholders o f the Cedarville Farmers’ Grain Company held theft annual masting Monday afternoon in Community hall, Exchange bank build ing. Reports o f the business fo r the year were reviewed and election of directors took place, The former dl vectors ware all reflected. The stock holders chose R. C.

Bqth houses o f the Ohio legislala- ture a‘ few weeks a g o ' endorsefl the “Mary McHaughen” farm relief bill in .the interest o f the farmer. Presi­ dent Coolidge applied the veto axe to and the ‘measure died. five red streaks dashed back and forth across the floor, now to score, low to guard, until the quarter ended' vith the overwhelming score of 14 to L in Cedarville'# favor. A t the half a 3core o f 21-8 was recorded. In -this period Jones, Cedarville’s steller for­ ward caged six goals and a foul. In the second frame the local lads rested, having secured themselves a snug iead, saving themselves fo r the even­ ing game. During the final few min­ utes Captain Wilson injured his ankle and was forced to leave the game but Bates, who replaced him, played a fine game the’ balance o f the braces. Ev­ ery man on the team broke into the score column with the exception o f Wilson, who was content to play a fine guarding game, The game ended with a 29 to 17 victory o f Cedarville. By virtue o f ,this victory the team earned the right to, meet the East- High School crew o f Xenia at 8:39 on Friday night. This team was rather a puzzle as far as their ability was concerned. Not having played in the County Tournament and not being able to get any “ dope,, on them, Ce­ darville was not a little worried as to the outcome But when the. teams had, battled about five minutes what ever hopes Xenia East had o f victory were dashed to the ground by the locals. • . % The half ended 15*10 with a 29-15 final score. ' This Friday evening Cedarville re­ turns. to Dayton for the seiiu-finals and will meet Plattsburg. Plattsburg defeated Cedarville -once this season but the locals are now playing a far better game now and high ho, es are "entertained for a vzetpry. „ The game starts at 4 o ’clock. As Cedarville’ is the lone survivor from Greene county, a large crowd o f root­ ers will go over to pull fo r the boys.
