STAGE FURNITURE PURCHASED A t a recent faculty meeting, it. was a g re e d to ' .ajiehd ’'a coeds fr om tb is year’ s cafeteria sup­ per to buy furniture fo r ' the’ stage. Accordingly, a five piece suit has been purchased and delivered at .the school house. For some time a plan has been in progress to equip the stage o f our auditorium. It is planned to pur­ chase a new curtain, but this will npt he done until the auditorium has been decorated. During the time that the newly purchased furniture is not need ed fo r stage furnishing, it will be kept in the teachers’ rest room on toe sec­ ond floor. II, G. Southard, M. D., Director of the State Department o f Health, re­ ports that the number o f mishaps due to carbon monoxide gas, has tak­ en a decided tumble from the height maintained in former, years, the past six months only fourteen being re­ ported, seven o f which were fatal. Barbon monoxide is just as poisonous as ever, and in cases o f carelessness or accident will cause death just as quickly. Vigilance and Watchfulness in the proper installation and opera­ tion o f gas appliances are necessary in order to prevent such mishaps. The Industrial Commission of Ohio reports that four counties in the state Carroll, Defiance, Fulton and Vinton had no fatilities during the last elev- m months o f 1931. Figures in the Division o f Safety and Hygiene shows that accidents have been reduced to *» extent sufficient to indicate that Ohio industry as a whole has had its safety agencies functioning well in spite of unusual and depressing condi- .ions, Records show that during no one year in its history, has the de­ mand for safety and (Service and the aid of its facilities been so great. The new year finds Ohio employers and workers eager to expand and stimu­ late their safety efforts.

After more than thirty years I am deeply apprecia­ tive o f the contribution to character made by Cedarville College and Community. I remember with increasing es­ teem the wholesome and restraining influence o f the splen-? didly Christian faculty I found at Cedarville. Every stu­ dent admires with a near reverence one or more o f his faculty and such an attachment is likely to make an in­ effaceable impression which in after years affects morals and religion and one’s whole perspective o f life. Thirty-five years ago the student body was preponder­ antly Christian, sincere, purposeful and earnest. It was worth while to be a part o f such a student body. There were a few black sheep and a few slightly spotted but the great majority were upstanding and wholesome in their thinking, living and purposes. Fortunate is the student who contacts such a group o f young men and women at the student age in his career. . Thirty-five years ago Cedarville offered a church life that was a real opportunity to students. Pastors, some of whom were venerable and saintly and sincere, commanded the respect and had the confidence of youth. Strong char­ acters are formed in the environment o f such a harmonious blending of religion and scholasticism as Cedarville Col­ lege and Community afforded. The writer entered Cedarville College in the second ‘ year o f her existence with the well established purpose of being a minister. During the college days nothing was encountered to change that purpose or lower the mental standard o f the chosen profession. After thirty years of hard service and great and gracious opportunities for ser- I vice in which character has been continuously tested I | wish to bear testimony to rny appreciation of a college • 1 that offers extra curricular advantages by way of charac* | ter forming influences in college halls and community, | Such a college is Cedarville. Long may her banner float > j and her sons and daughters be loyal. \ Cedarville College Bulletin, Alumni News \ I ' i I |\iiiiiiiiHiinmnnrminiimiiii|iiiiiiuimiiii)iiinMimHMimmmiiimiuMi..... MOTION FOR NEW Motion for a new trial Morrow, ^proprietor o f the Osborn hotel at Osborn, convicted of grand larceny by a common- pleas jury last week, has been assigned for hearing Thursday. Frank L. Johnson, attor­ ney for Morrow, gives as one o f the reasons for seeking a new trial, re­ puted false testimony of Douglass Os- horn, one of the state’s chief witnes­ ses, to the effect that Morrow stood guard over him with a gun in the home of Charles Monttett, which Mor­ row and five companions are charged with having robbed o f several hun­ dred dollars’ worth o f property last November, and that he took a watch | and chain from Osborn. Johnson says that he could have proven this to be false by Clayton Grissom, who refus­ ed to testify on the grounds that It might incriminate himself. One o f the most, entertaining Boy Scout programs will be staged at the Central High School gymnasium, in Xenia, at 8 P. M,, February 8th. This program will celebrate the 22nd., an­ niversary o f the Boy Scduts in Amer­ ica and is free to all who want to en­ joy a good Boy Scout program.. Scouting was introduced in the Uni­ ted States from England by Wm. D, Boyce, American Publisher, February 8,1909. Mr. Boyce was so impressed with the "Good turn” element o f scout ing and other practical principles which are taught the scouts, that they may get the deepest meaning in life and training to finer citizenship, that he made plans to introduce Boy Scout­ ing in America on his arrival home, There will be a dramatization o f the—"good—turn” -so_characteristiCijQf— — scouting, in the form o f a pageant "The Romance o f Scouting” , with eight other attractive events that will make the program worth coming a great distance to enjoy. , The practical application o f the oath and laws in the inner life o f .the boy has been an inducement fo r a number of men in Greene County to lend their aid inipromoting the Boy Scout move­ ment o f this county. ■■■. ‘ The following are the Greene Coun­ ty Executive’ Committees: . * Greene County District Committee—- , Emil Eichman, Chairman.
