NoIndictments Returnedby Special Jury A grand jury summoned espec­ ially to investigate gambling in Greene county found no evidence on which to support indictments. • The May jury recalled in spec­ ial session May 29 made its re­ port Monday morning following a two-week recess during which the prosecutor’s office hoped to obtain additional testimony. The jury not only did not re­ port any true bills. It indicated that law enforcement facilities are sufficient to handle any such violations and it agreed that any violations here were slight in comparison with that of other communities. The grand jury reported': The grand jury was presented all available evidence in its in­ vestigation as to alleged gam­ bling violations in the county. A m o n g witnesses sul)ioeaned were county, city and other mu­ nicipal officers and law enforce­ ment officials. Full inquiry was made concern­ ing the place known as "Oak Grove Country club” reported to have commenced operation on May 8, 1947 under guise o f a private club and where gambling viola­ tions were charged to exist. Prompt action was taken by the officials to suppress the same and whatever violation o f law that may have existed, if there was such, was of short duration and has ceased. The evidence sub­ mitted was insufficient to war­ rant the returning o f true bills. The grand jury recognizes the means available to suppress and prevent any infraction of the gambling laws by those who at­ tempt to violate the same. The grand jury finds that any commerical gambling that may have been existed is at a mini­ mum in comparison with that re­ cognized to exist in other commu­ nities and so far as the evidence discloses there is none at the pres­ ent The Teport was isgned by H. C. Aultman, Xenia, as foreman of the jury. The gambling probe was pre- ciptated by charges published in Dayton newspapers that the Oak Grove club had opened up May 8 with open gambling. Sheriff 'Walton Spahr, who had visited the club several times and was not admitted raided the ( club- armed with a serjrcb. war­ rant handed him by Prosecutor Marcus Shoup. The officers said there was no paraphernalia avail- • able on,which to base charges but he arrested Vernon Locke, 43, said to be assistant manager of the food department Locke was freed on $500 bond and his case was referred to the grand jury. Failure to bring a true bill against him will mean that he is now free of any charges. When the grand jury was sum­ moned at the call of Common Pleas Judge F. L. Johnson, he ap­ pointed, with the approval o f the prosecutor, Havcth E. Man, Cin­ cinnati, as special assistant prose­ cutor. Mr. Mau is a former prose­ cutor o f Montgomery county and former U. S. district attorney for southern Ohio. He was present during both sessions of the grand jury inquiry. A t the first session u number of newspapermen who had claimed there was gambling at the Oak Grove club, were heard. A t Monday’s session, Sheriff Walton Spahr, four of his depu- chiefs and a Xenia minister were ties, six Greene County police summoned. The police chiefs who testified were Howard Wright of James­ town, J. S. McCalla of Osborn, Ellias Quinn o f Fairfield, William Day o f Yellow Springs, Fred Ewry o f Cedarville and Stanley Nickel! of Xenia. Also heard were Deputies Ho­ mer Spahr, Fred Lewis, Wesley Harris and J. R. Ramsey, and Rev. J. Russell Dugan, president o f the Xenia-Greene County Min­ isterial association.

Being Installed AtFairgrounds by Mary Fay Bryson (Fair Board Secretary) If you should happen to see the Greene county Fairgrounds just now, you probobly would think some sort of dress rehearsal was in progress, judging from the torn-up paving, while hammers* saws and concrete-mixer add din to the upheaval. _ But all this is the result o f the Fair Board making a supreme effort to keep its promise. . . to install a sanitary sewage, system on the fairgrounds. .Just now it seems that this will be completed in time fo r this year’s fair. Most of the materials are on hand, and * their placement is moving nicely. The bu/ding to house this new system is nearing completion. Shingles are being laid and plumbing pipes being installed. Of concrete bloaks, concrete floor, asbestos-shingle roof, the new structure, 32%ft. X 69 ft. is ..centrally located between the back of the grandstand and the driveway that leads to the rear gate. It is o f simple, gable-roof de­ sign and about as fireproof as ■such a building is apt to be. The materials and workmanship are the best obtainable. It promises to be a substantial, neat, func­ tional building that will serve the public well. The need for this system, con­ nected with the city sewage sys­ tem, has been felt for many years. The definite planning fj.rnts ac­ complishment began several ye^rs ago. Now that building has open­ ed up a little, it was thought best to go on with these plans. The fair board is more than delighted to be able to complete this long promised project. Immunization, Vaccination UrgedbyDept. Many o f the schools in Greene county and all of the schools in Xenia city require immunization for diphtheria and vaccination for smallpox. The health depart­ ment, therefore urges all parents to have this done as soon as pos­ sible Children who have never had whooping cough should also be immunized against this dis­ ease. Children who have been im­ munized for* diphtheria and whooping cough; but not within the- last two years should receive booster doses of toxoid for these diseases. It requires two or three months to complete immunizat­ ion, so the procedure should be started at on*e. Atiour preschool conference we found surprisingly few children immunized and vac­ cinated (Xenia excepted). We are certainly asking for trouble. If your child has these diseases the. responsibility is yours. Parents who read this cannot offer the plea of ignorance. ; Mr. and Mrs. Albert Harp- , hant and son have moved from the ~Rhubert up stairs apt. to ’ their newly built home in Clifton. about 6:30 Wednesday evening when struck by an automobile in front of Ills home.
