The bonds will be in various denominations as before and solicitors will be able to explain the different issues. , 1 With the invasion now under way and..the necessity of more war mater­ ial and .foods, the need for more funds to carry on as our boys have carried on, is necessary. If you let your solicitor down you let our boys dawn at a crucial time. Greene county has over-subscribed its bond, quota each time.

' S ' • ' i . f.......■■-......- —BU Y w a r ' b o n d s t o d a y 50 Years o f College l i f e - BY ELMER JURKAT I i |iI 'H i4'» 4 / One building which was. never o f­ ficially listed in the catalogue but which ,was still practically a part of the campus group was Richards Drug Store, more widely known as “ Doc’s". It closed its doors in 1937, so to Stu­ dents who have arrived since then it is merely legend, but there are still hundreds'of“people to whom the mere mention o f the name brings back a host o f pleasant memories. “ Dpc’V.of course,, was- Mr. Earl Richards, a druggist from West Vir­ ginia by way of Scio College, Ohio, Kansas, and Columbus, Ohio. He ar­ rived in 1916 just in time for the sum­ mer business and proceeded to polish up old. Wisterman’s store and install a glistening new soda fountain, and a haijdsome tut sedate ice cream “ par­ lor" in the rear. 1915 was before the time of radio, or dependable automo­ biles, or even paved streets. The big event o f those summers was the an­ nual Coit-Alber Chautauqua up on the college campus, and folks trudging homeward after a session o f heat and dust found in . the new pharmacy’ a welcome sanctuary. “ Doc” had been a college athlete and still held an interest in such,go­ ings on, it wasn’t long untilthe place developed into a local’ interna­ tional house, a meeting, place for the young and the young in heart. It be­ came the center of extra-curricular college life, and was the spot where many an evening’s, enterprise was cooked u p ,‘and was always .the last stop on student’s’ way home. The proprietor and his changing staff really provided all the comforts of a modern hostelry. You could eat theiie, phone or wire, watch the'seore- board windows for sports results, pay bills (or run them up), leave messa­ ges (and laundry), meet friends, make new ones, hold a committee meeting or a banquet, purchase theatre tick­ ets (the opera house), or catch a bus. There was always space for recrea­ tion up stairs or down, and as to rooming, Rockhold, ,Orr,' and Paul Ed­ wards managed nicely back 'in Jack Pierce’s old garage office. Dowp the years a varied throng passed through'“ Doc’s“ doors. Clerks cooks, students,' alumni, tourists, townspeople in varying .degrees made the store their headquarters. “ Yank81 Stephens the-cop; —Bud” Fisher- 7-the knee pants student from Pennsylvania hair dresser Zora Smith..

In the winter a fat round stove thawed out sled riders, and stif- dents moved to make room for a trip to the coal cellar. In summer’s heat the place was naturally an oasis of iCMSeam and gullet-cooling concoc­ tions. If you didn't steer your girl there after a game or an Opera House entertainment you lost more ‘‘face” than.a captured Japanese general; It Was handy for the customers, but hard on “ Doc” and his family1who had no more privacy than a gold fish, so with the boys out of college he locked up in 1937, In the spare moments of those last years he had been rabbit raiser, justice pi the peace. School Board clerk, and Mayor, When “ Doc” said he was retiring, he meant it. People sometimes forget that -the Cedarville .College campus plays host to two institutions, the other being a seminary. Its fulHegal name is The Theological Seminary of the Reform; ed ' Presbyterian Church (General Synod) in North America, and it is not only older than The college but is one of the oldest^jjistitutions in the United States for the training of young men for the gospel ministry, The Seminary was organized oh May 25th, 1810, in Philadelphia, where the Rev. Samuel Wylie was its first and for some years its only professor, Various difficulties resulted in its re­ move! to New York for three years, then hack to Philadelphia, and finally in 1913, to Cedarville. ’ Doctors Me Kinney, McGhesney, Jurkat, and Al­ len were the main instructors for most o f its recent years, but there have been others; the Reverends Me Elhinney, Chesnut, Robinson, ani .Harrlman, ■ ■ ; Although the college itself some years back separated from the church PRICE, ?1.5QA3TBAR Judge Will Reducp Crop of “War Grass Widows” In the face o f increasing divorce business in the Greene County Com­ mon Pleas Court, , Judge F, L. John- issued a statement Tuesday that wiv, es o f men in the armed* services as signed outside the state o f Ohio need not apply fo r divorces' in the local court ■ ' , Judge Johnson said he had notified all attorneys that wives o f service men stationed outside, o f Ohio filing, petitions under these circumstances Will be denied decrees at least for the duration. According to the Judge he has based his, opinion that the, Ohio law, does not contemplate service ^men.seryjng ahroad.as being non-resi­ dents. The divorce fever has spread all jover the nation since the Roosevelt family established' a precedent of “ Marry'em and divorce ’em” . , Just iwhether Judge Johnson's opinion’ is, right or not will never be known unti! Atty. General'Biddle giyes his New Deal opinion. One thing can be as­ sured the opinion will have no effect 9 n any additional, divorce- contemplat­ ed now or in the future in the Royal Household. The, opinion will be quite a surprise to, the. crop o f “ Wan.grass vidows” that has sprung up like the mosquito, pest on a hot night- which founded -it, the seminary con­ tinues to operate under Reformed- Presbyterian management and doc­ trine. This should not be misinter­ preted, for students o f all faiths are welcome, and a variety o f them has at different -times been represented. If,’ before the college - started, ’ Dr. Morton said; “ Where are we going to get the preachers V\ then> his ques­ tion has been answered-in- part at, 'east in the long list o f ministers who have gone out from the local seminary ir college to spread the gospel. The -oil is so long that only a few can be mentioned. John W. Bickett, Homer McMillan, Alvin Orr, Wallace Iliff, Homer'Henderson, Ernest McClellan, Walter Mortoq, and Woodbridge Us- tick are but a few o f the ministers, who attended college here. Ralph El­ der, Robert. Stewart, James Chesnut, Clede Markle, Day Kennedy, Dwight McKune", Franklin Truhee - and Paul Angell are some .napies, picked ,at ran­ dom from those prepared for Chris­ tian work by Cedarville’s own semi­ nary.- ; The last fifteen years have seen many changes in college affairs and in the make-up o f the student body. One of these is the sections from which they come. In the' early twen­ ties more young people were in resi­ dence from Pennsylvania, Kansas, Ill­ inois, Kentucky and Michigan. They came on the train; brought along big trunks, and stayed all -year, often not even getting home for Christmas. In later times this type o f student has been replaced by one whose . home is closer to the school." Scholars'in-re­ cent years have been more likely to 'ive in /adjoining counties or town­ ships. They drove home each week­ end, and in some cases, every evening. Fewer students were on the streets in the evenings, and the town to a certain extent, became less aware of the college’s "existencer The addition of Fraternity Houses >uid girl’s dormitory also helped fo centralize student life, and there were fewer roomers to be spread through the homes o f the community.-’ Other changes have come in,the last decade. Commencement exercises have shift­ ed to the United Presbyterian Church. Other types o f entertainment have lessened the need for plays and such, and in some recent years the old town opera house, once the scene of nu­ merous college activities, has gone through almost the entire season un­ locked and with .only spiders for an audience. The inauguration of sororities and a fraternity tends to create*’ small re­ lated groups instead o f the former single student body, The awing to­ ward musical appreciation gradually showed itself in the establishment o f a Glee'Club, a large college chorus, and numerous vocal quartettes, The college paper was revived by Carina Hostetler, John Murray,-and staff in 1934 under the name of “ Whispering Cedars’’, and has continued through the following years, (To Be Continued) HIGH-JINKS VARIETY SHOW * DUPLICATETO PLANT CHANGES Gi'eene county taxirig districts, in­ cluding Cedarville, .may suffer consid­ erable loss o f tax revenue due to dis­ mantling or raising industrial build­ ings that have been in the tax dupli­ cate..-for spverpt hundred thousand dollars. It is estimated th e ; county may I oobo in valuation fo r tax­ ation an. estimated million dollars in this manner. We are informed the Wabash Ce­ ment Co., Osborn,is closed down fo r good and the plant is to be junked. Not-only will the plant ,equipment be taken from the duplicate but mote than 200 acres o f what was once the finest farm land, in the county, is now , nothing but a hole in the ground or reconverted land refilled from strip ing other acres to get the desired' stone for cement manufacture Cedarville will have a similar ex­ perience with the removjj o f the e- quipment o f the site o f the old lime kilns. Just what will become of the paper, mill property, now vacant, is another problem. While industry is a, going concern the state can.assess certain values for taxation,’ but when - business is discontinued and plant equipment removed, the valuation goes down to nearly nothing. This being the year for revaluation .of all property in the county for tax­ ation and other property- expected to be increased at ..least ten percent on an, average, as is . being dene in all counties, the increase will hardly make up for the loss- o f industrial concerns. If this situation arises the county, townships, school districts and municipalities will suffer alike, the schools and municipalities feel­ ing the loss the most. With local governments like every­ thing else costing more each year, the public must stand for a higher valuation on their property for taxa­ tion, or. an additional levy for increas­ ed taxes, or. use the pruning knife and /cut the garment according to the cloth available. It is expected the schools will ask for their usual increase ' in tax rate outside o f the ten mill limitation. The village has for a number . o f years paid its electric bill through a special tax levy—Just-how to-get additionaL- revenue to compensate for the loss of industrial concerns in the county will ‘ be a problem for public officials to solve and then call on the property owners to pay the bill, a.,. ■M ' ' '- COLLEGE SUMMER SCHOOL WILL OPEN MONDAY The first term o f the College Summer School will open Inext week.
