Dayton officers made a big haul on ‘^numbers headquarters” in Yel low Springs last Thursday. The vil lage marshal also gave aid and some slips amounting to around $6,000 from playeri in (Dayton, Springfield, Urbana, Xenia and other Miami valley municipalities were found. ,Prosecutor Marcus, Shoup express ed doubt that the Greene county grand jury, scheduled to meet iij January, would-be called upon ta in vestigate the “numbers’^ racket ” in this area. . Although four suspected operators of.a policy ring which’has long flour ished in the Miami Valley, were ar rested in a surprise raid, it appeared doubtful their cases would be refer red to the county grand jury. Yellow Spring Mayor John B. Slate had'released the suspects,v all ' Ne groes, under $500; bond each after ordering them bound “over"' to •ithe grand jury. However, the prosecutor said that the privilege of . transferring such cases is the exclusive right of the defendant; and not of the presiding magistrate. The prosecutor' said he, learned a Dayton lawyer, retained to represent the three men and 'one woman, would request the Yellow Springs mayor to dispose of the cases there. State law, Shoup said,- provides a maximum fine of $500 and six months in jail for , conviction of a “numbers” gambling offense, j . Shoup said Mayor Slate had ex plained jthe case to him, and that while he would "welcome the oppor tunity’? to conduct a complete grand jury probe of the numbers racket, that possibility is remote if the sus pect do not request grand jury con sideration of the charges. - Arrested in the raid were Lavanda Johns, Joe Anderson, 44, a former Greene county deputy sheriff and Oliver Thomas, all of ‘Xenia, and .Charles. Johnson, of Springfield.- The organized numbers headquart ers was once in Cedarville but was gradually forced ■ to leave under the term of th e 1 late Mayor. O, A. Dob bins who enriched the treasury each month by making a raid and collect ing, a fine. The group moved to Yel low Springs where if has operated for two or more years. .

Weather Man Turns 'Christmas Decorator Taking .an artis.tic._tam, at- things out o f doors, the weather man de corated, everything in a pre-Christ mas fashion for the week end. Every bough and twig on every tree and shrub was treated with a heavy coat ing of snow, which clung firmly until late Sunday when in most places Old Solturned a warm smile upon his world and changed the picture. Unnble to make up his mindwheth- er it would be rain or snow, the weather king finally compromised on a mixture. Icy roads became haz ardous in the extreme, traffic was. snarled and many accidents occurred. Along some highways there were a- bout as, many vehicles in the ditches as on the roads, Saturday night and Sunday morning. Predictions for Christmas day are being made cautiously, with lit tle assurance of the beloved ‘White Christmas’ of story and song. $ I(l»MIW l 8 >IW lW «IIM>MIIIH IW II|IIMW»IllinilWBtllWII(IIIHt» Prevent Holiday Fired Joy and straffow march hand in hand over ruVal America during Christmas holidays as fire takes an increasing toll of lives and property pn farms.

Hpliday, fire account for a large ■part of tlnsT Christmas trees, holly wreaths, tree trimmings, electrical toys and wiring are Christmas fire hazards. A fire extinguisher near the .tree won’t help much if the family goes to bed leaving the tree lighted by a set with defective wiring. Many a family has awakened W the middle of the night to find, the whole downstairs a mass of roaring flames. The Fire Protect ion institute has issued a number of hoi...ay fire rules for the farmstead which might be studied by every farmer a t Christmas. Here they are: 1. Flameproof the tree,' wreaths and decorations with chemical spray. 2. Place tree away from fireplaces. Set it in a firm stand to prevent it froih toppling' over. Place stump in a pan of water to prevent drying. 3. Make sure electrical toys and lighting sets are approved by Underwriters’ Lab oratories. 4. Warn smokers in the family to be particularly cai’eful. 5 Keep the family fire extinguisher fill ed and ready for emergency use. 6 Clear out gift package wrappings; such as paper, tissue and ribbons as soon as gifts are opened. 7. Never use cottoh batting for under tree snow unless it has been flame treat ed. 8. If a member of the family is going to play Santa Claus, warn him against smoking in costume. A young man in Hole, Mo,, died horrib ly when the beard ,on his false face caught fire. 9. If your children are in a Christmas pageant, make sure their costumes are flameproofed and see that they keep dea r of open; flames. 10. .Get rid of the tree be fore it dries’ out and becomes a fire hazard. .
