Brwon announced today that license plates had been placed on sale Monday, December J, nt 550 distributing: points in Ohio. The adjoining state o f Pennsylvania, which has as many motor vehicles as Ohio, issues plates from one central station at Harrisburg, and motorists art re­ quired to wait until tngstare received. The same service is given in several other states, Ohio motorists are re­ ceiving the best possible service that can be given. The state has the repu­ tation o f giving better service to motorists and having the finest sys­ tem o f local distribution in the United States, the number o f ’ distribution points being five times as many as -any-other-Btate.—This-eystem-is mak­ ing it possible for car owners to se­ cure their license ' plates in close proximity to their homes or business. Regardless o f the residence o f any Ohio citizens, it is possible for them to purchase plates at any one o f the 560 points, For the convenience of motorists they are permitted to use 1901 plates ontheir ears on and after December 21... Midnight December 31, is. the absolute dead line for the . use o f 1980 plates.

Cooper urges the ’observance next Sunday, Decem­ ber 7, o f Universal Bible Sunday in the . churches throughout Ohio. The American Bible Society, an organiza- T ? Ition which issues annually over eleven At the regular meeting o f council1million copies o f Bibles, Testaments, a delegation of, members of the Ce-'and. Portions in,close to two hundred darville Community Chib appeared before council asking f0|?' considera­ tion of a nightman as a result o f the four recent night robberies. Presi­ dent G. H. Hartman was the spokes­ man for the delegation-and placed the. matter before council. <Several meth­ ods were discussed bO| no definite action was taken. In’ VieWo f the fact council, has no available funds other than emergency funds fo r extra police languages, hashbeen sponsoring Uni­ versal Bible Sunday over a period of years. Thosuands ofchurches through- out the United States as well as many Christian churches abroad join in this movement which was conceived and is promoted to emphasize the essen­ tial position which the Bible occupies in Hie spiritual life o f men and women. In endorsing Universal Bible Sun­ day Governor Cooper says:,1‘The de- PAUL H. CRESWELL C O U R T N EW S ESTATE IS VALUED EstateTlsf "WiTliam H. Hagenbuclq deceased, has a gross value o f $170,- 497, composed entirely ’o f personal property, according to an estimate on file in Probate Court. Debts amount to $6,941.65 and the cost of adminis­ tration is $10,150. The estate has ,a net, market value of $153,405.35. SALE ORDERED Sale of real estate has been author­ ized by the court in the case o f Lois Glass, as administratrix o f the estates of William D. Turner and Rosa M. Turner, deceased, against Lois Glass, Dra G. Turner, Willis Glass and The Home Building and Savings Co. in Probate Court. Some, months ago the question was under consideration when merchants acting on their' own' responsibility agreed to pay a watchman but wanted the appointee-to have police powers. To do this the watchman would be required to give bond. It was also suggested that the sheriff could ap­ point a non-salaried deputy with police powers and the merchants could pay whatever was agreed upon. The .natter was left for further considera­ tion and investigation. v • In view of the fact that member McFsrland was having an unusual number pf calls for aid from the poor, he being chairman of that committee, ;he problem o f finances faced council. Heretofore'only a npminaT sum has been set .aside fo r charity bub from the calls at hand this, sum will not last many weeks. Mr1. McFarland placed the matter before council for in expression as to how far he could ?o. All realized there would be more alls than in former years but that borough investigation must be made before aid is rendered. Cases were iitad where some had-asked-for aid and were able bodied. Others wanted aid that had refused work on farms because of a difference of opinion at :o wage scale. It was the opinion of council that inly extreme cases could be handled nd what the town needed most was i Community Chest, It was reportec .hat church funds for charity were ow and little aid could be expected .ram that source. The Community Sheet plan was .admitted to be the best way to handle charity cases but local people should promote such •an organization. In the discussion be­ fore and after adjournment of council it developed that Ideal merchants not Only had been-extending credit to many that were uneihployeed but had been aiding needy"persons each day. It was evident the merchants could not continue to extend credit any great length o f time and that it was unfair to expect them to give credit to those who had been dealing in the past with stores that did not do a credit business. From the discussion it is indicated public funds will be available only to those who are in need and cannot be carried longer by local merchants who have extended some credit. The professional dead­ beat will receive no consideration for aid. TAKE IN FOOTBALL GAME Coach Marvin- Borat and William Nagley, Who is athletic director o f the Belmont, Dayten, schools, drove to Chicago for the big football game be­ tween' Notre Dame and the Army teams last Saturday, The former won by a score o f 7 to 3. f Bible la a custom worthy o f most hearty approval. In the rush o f mod­ ern) life, we need to pause much more often than we do to give special at­ tention to the fundamental worth of this great Book, which has so vitally affected the lives o f many millions of leople throughout 'the world. Its careful study and the application of its-lessons is o f greatest importance to <the continuance of the civilization which we enjoy. believe-that the setting aside of jne Sunday as Universal Bible Sun- lay will meet with the approval of all citizens who have at heart the highest dualism for themselves and for their children.’’ ___________:________ _ bounty Board Can Explain Vote Error The vote for lieutenant governor between John Brown, Republican, seeking re-election, and William Pick- rel, Democrat, is so close the “ official" has not been announced. For days. after the election first Brown and then Pickrel would be announced win­ ner. The last report after a partial re­ check is 216 majority for' Pickrel. Brown has discovered some differences in election reports and asked for a partial re-check. Greene county was one of several counties in the list and the BouuLof-Elections found that one precinct had been counted twice, mak­ ing a difference of fifteen or sixteen voles in favor o f Brown. Pickrel has protested the manner in which the official count is being made and It has been stopped pending a ruling by Attorney General Bettman. Pickrel contends there is no authority for a partial recheck in the absence o f fraud, , Local Bakery Is Entered Sunday N ight Entrance was gained to the .Cedar- vill* Bakery through a rear window sometime early Sunday night.

The appointment no doubt is a re­ ward for the preprimary service in behalf of the Hoover delegates more than a year ago.
