Dear Mr. Bull: Having thoroughly enjoyed the letters o f Mr. Foster, a former Cedar- villian, I cannot refrain from express­ ing my own reaction to these inti­ mate items of reminiscence. The home town paper is perhaps the last tie to which one clings when all other contacts are severed. It would no doubt be quite a revelation lo note the many nooks and crannies of the old globe which, the Herald) seeks out each week to satisfy that longing of former citizens for news from the old home community. 1 hough one may find in its columns little in common with the memories he cherishes, there appears from time to time familiar names, or items with 'a significent bearing upon home life— ■old names represented now in a new generation, and above all an uplifting spirit which has ever clung to the Cedarville community. From time to time as my /own recollections travel ,hack over boyland trails iti and about Cedarville the following-kaleidoscopic mirages fllit across my mind in fantastic array. I am submitting them with the wonder of how many other former Cedar­ ville boys have gone through similar experiences: Attending Robert Bird’s annual auction- sales and sitting enthralled at the rapid-fire word'display o f S. T. Baker, the auctioneer . . . The fragrance of apple blossoms in Tor- !rence’s orchard . . . Roasting Mil- Milbum’s peanuts ., . . Watching the hornet’s nest swing to and fro in the rear of Job Gray’s store . , . Taking part in the “walk-a-round” before election day . . . Going after a Christ­ mas tree with a bob-sled . . .

Five very important precautions must be taken by Ohio hunters i f they are to minimize the chances o f contracting tularemia, with which 1 per cent, of the state’s rabbits are afflicted, ac­ cording to Dr. H. G. Southard, Di­ rector o f the Department o f Health. They are: 1—Never put unprotected hands inside a rabbit. 2—Always wear rubber gloves when handling the game. 3—Don’t take home a rabbit that appears sickly. 4—The rabbit must be cooked very thoroughly—so well cooked that there is pio read meat, nor any red juice, near the bone. 5—Kill and bury all sickly rabbits. osure actio ing judgment for . „ , _ _ ^ $603.14, on file in Common ple88( o f Ross and Greene Counties.

High Court Checks Gas Tax Transfer The Ohio Supreme Court has held that municipalities or other taxing districts that share in the distribution of the gasolne tax fund cannot trans­ fer such funds for any purpose other than what the law intends. Many cities and counties in Ohio have transferred such funds for re­ lief purposes at the request o f the state relief administration, but must stop this practice following the de­ cision of the high court. 3 The Ohio law specifically says that all gasoline funds ihust be used for highway construction.; and repair.
