PRICE, ?L50 A YEAR NEWSLETTER FROM STATE DEPARTMENTS COLUMBUS— Initiative petitions covering a proposed law, providing for the "Granting of Aid to Aged Per- sons,” were filed with Secretary of State, Clarence J, Brown, several days ago. The Fraternal Order of Eagles has been most active in behalf of this proposed law and about a hundred thousand signatures were obtained. This measure, if enacted into law, will give a maximum of $25.00 per month to impoverished persons who have been residents of Ohio for at least fifteen years. Provision is made that in no event can the person being aided have a total income exceeding $300 a year. .. The open hunting season for rabbits is fast drawing to a’ close, time expir­ ing at one hour after sunset January 1st. That day falling on Sunday, time will be up the previous day. Time limit on foxe's also expires. January 1, on raccoon January 15, and oppos- sum and skunk February 1st. Musk­ rats in the inland trapping district may be taken until March 1st. The chefs in the Ohio Penitentiary prepare meals for an axerage of 3,- 850 men daily. The menu is varied, being changed daily. The cost o f feed ing.that number according to institu­ tional officials averaged 8.2 per day per man in actual food’ cost.. Almost seems impossible but nevertheless it is a matter of record. To this amonut the state prison farms contributed food products, at no cost to the state, averaging 3.1 cents per day per man, figured at market value, thus bring­ ing the total value of food prepared daily to 11.3 cents per man. One week from* next Monday,’Jan. 2nd., the Ninetieth General Assembly o f Ohio wilheonvene. The day will be observed as a holiday and for that reason the legislature •will possibly adjourn after a short.session, until the foliowing day. It is the consensus of opinion that leaders in. both branches will advocate a short session rather than a; long drawn out- one,' WhichSwill mean quite a little saving ip revenue. X SCHOOL NEWS ^ iniiiiiiimi)lmMiimnnHHiMM»HHWWm«immniHMH^ , CHRISTMAS STORY GIVEN The facts of the Christmas story formed the basis, for the address of Rev.

BIRTHS REPORTED FOR MONTH OF NOVEMBER (Editorial) The story of Christmas and the sig- nifigance o f it is the same this year as in the years past, But Christmas comes this year at a time when we have about us in every community hundreds that are in need of the ne­ cessities of life. It was Horace Mann who once said: “ To pity distress is but human; to relieve it is Godlike,” More is required of every one than sympathy, The spirit of the day can- lot be observed and let those in want suffer. This suffering, if not relieved, falls on those least able to do for ;hemselves—women and children. A call has been made to those who are in circumstance able to give aid. Food, clothing and fuel are needed in so many homes in this township, Will you not do your part In some material way ?
