A verdict o f accidental death was given by Coroner H. C. Schick who said the man apparently had been struck by an eastbound New York Central train about 2:20 a. m. Saturday. lie suffered a broken neck, abrasions on the back and a wound on the left side o f the head although his skull was not fractured. The body was carried on the engine’s pilot about 100 feet be­ fore rolling to the side o f the track. Deputy Sheriff James It. Ram­ sey investigated after being noti­ fied o f the accident early Satur­ day afternoon by railroad offi­ cials. The body was found by Donald Snouffer, 14, and his cou­ sin, Dallas Snouffer, 17, o f Os­ born View as they were walking across the dodble tracks of the New York Central and Erie rail­ roads, at the edge of Wright View. The body was about 100 feet east o f a path across the tracks. The boys notified a Pat­ terson field guard who contacted railroad officials. Deputy Ramsey learned West, employed as a baker by the Gro­ cers Own Baking company, Day- ton, had visited at the home of his brother, James West, Riley and Ohio streets, Wright View. The man and three of his broth­ ers visited until about midnight when they retired hut the broth­ ers could give no explanation as to why Frank later left the West home. A possibility the victim might have met with foul play was ex­ pressed by Deputy Ramsey pre­ ceding the coroner’s investigation. A small amount of money was found in West’s watch pocket, precluding a robbery theory, ac­ cording to the deputy. A native o f West Liberty, Ky., Mr. West was the son o f the late Mr. and Mrs. Ezekiel West. He moved to Dayton four years ago. He is survived by six brothers, Roger, of West Liberty, Ky., Kesser, Middletown; James, Dan­ iel, Lester and Richard, Wright View, and two sisters, Mrs. Vir­ ginia Duvall, Wright View, and Mrs. Martha Thomas, West Lib­ erty.

Shaner, operator o f a trailer camp in Bath township, was found guilty o f permitting gambling on his premises by Xenia Municipal Judge D. M. Aultman and fined $200 and costs Monday morning. Shaner, who had pleaded not guilty, indicated he would appeal the case. The affidavit which formed the basis for the charge was filed by Prosecutor Marcus Shoup as the result of a sheriff’s raid early Saturday morning. Sheriff Walton Spahr said no actual gambling had been ob­ served but that a small building at the rear o f the camp known as “ Trailer’s Court,” contained such suspicious equipment a s blackcd-out windows, an electric buzzer and a door adorned with a peep hole, together with a card tabic. Shaner told officers that t building had bee leased to “ Brown- street” Wells o f Dayton. Well3, according to the sheriff Saturday, was to have been prosecuted for operating a gambling room, but Prosecutor Slump said Monday that since no actual gambling was seen there was no ease against Wells, who reportedly also had a Dayton gambling rec­ ord. A $497 roll o f bills found tied to a combination pool-ping pong table in the raided shack was claimed by Wells Saturday morn­ ing. He said it had been left there earlier in the evening. The pros­ ecutor said the money will be turned over to Wells when he sat­ isfies the sheriff, who confiscated it, that it belongs to him.

W.A.Vayhinger Once in a big while you meet someone who says, “ same old fair," But how could that be ? There are new features and meth­ ods introduced each year. One of the new features for 1947 is. . . there may be fewer flies! There are two reasons for say­ ing that. One is that the Peet Perfection Mineral company of Indianapolis, Ind., through Ar- ! Services for William A. Vay- thur D. Hanna o f Cedarville has ■hitlger, 72, of 4827 Lake Park made arrangements with the fair ; avenue, Chicago, brother o f Ira board to spray and to disinfect ) D.

Burial was in Glendale with the Greene County agricul-* tural society for DDT spraying o f the dining room, the secretary’s office and space about the grand­ stand, and both the new and the old rest rooms. Surely all this preparation to reduce fly-attend­ ance should make fo r better com­ fort fo r our patrons. The paved roadways or streets in the grounds have lessened the dust annoyance. Just now it looks as though we might be glad to see some dust accumulate, at least on the race track, to prove that it does not rain all the time. Even these few things show that this will be not the “ same old fair" but the "Best Yet!” BeGivenDuring FairWeek During fair week the Greene County Public Health league is offering free chest x-rays to the residents o f the county. The x-ray equipment will be located in the art hall at the health department exhibit. The new feature of the x-ray unit to be used is, that persons being x-rayed need®not remove any clothing, as was necessary before. This procedure need cause no embarrassment to any one, The current issue o f Look mag­ azine, now on the newstahds, show scenes of a mobile x-ray unit in operation, illustrating the great ease by which one may be x- rayed. This exhibit is intended to ac­ quaint the people o f Greene coun­ ty with the equipment and pro­ cedure used in mass x-raying. It is regretted th # the Health lea­ gue will only be able to give 1,500 free x-rays, because o f previous committments to do an x-ray program in the schools this fall, Wheh that number is reached it will be necessary to make a small charge. Health league officials estimate that only one in every *200 per­ sons x-rayed will need further examination. It is not anticipated, that many advanced cases o f TB will be found, as most o f these cases are already konwn, and under some form of treatment. I f any other condition in the chest is active, such as enlarged heart or cancer, the x-ray picture will show this. All reports will be given to persons direct where no condition is found, where any con­ dition is found to exist the report will go to the persons physician. Strictest confidence will be main­ tained. The Health league urges that after each person receives their report they will go to their doc­ tor fo r a complete physical check­ up, and continue each year to get. an x-ray and have a complete ex­ amination.

AAAtoResume Although a dispute continued in congress over the final a- mount to be appropriated for the 1947 agriculture conservation program, the Greene county AAA office Was advised to resume payment operations, including purchase orders, Joseph B. Mason, county AAA chairman, said this order, received from state AAA headquarters, will- mean resumption o f pay­ ments on soil building practices, of which application of agricul­ tural limestone-and fertilizer are the -two major practices in this county. Purchase orders issued this spring by the AAA office to 316 farmers for agricultural lime­ stone and fertilizer were cancelled May 23 after a report was pre­ sented to congress proposing a reduction in AAA allocations for the fiscal year beginning July 1. Allocations to Greene county under this year’s budget had been set at *$89,997. Under the pro­ posed reduction, this amount will be cut slightly, but the amount Greene will receive has not been learned.

AugustDeadline ForTwoGI Insurance Benefit Although the time for rein­ stating national service life in­ surance has been extended to next Jan. 1, veterans administration to­ day emphasized that Aug. 1,1947, still remains the deadline for ap­ plying for two other insurance benefits. The first concerns veterans who may be entitled to waiver of pre­ mium payments because*of total disability existing for six or more consecutive months. Waiver in such cases generally is made ef­ fective from thp date the period of disability commenced, but not more than-one year before VA ’s ■receipt o f tM^lWsured’ ^appliea- tion fo r waiver. I£ application is made by Aug. 1, however, and entitlement to waiver is established, it may be made effective from the begin­ ning of the disability period as far back as Aug. 1, 1941, and premiums paid while the insured was totally disabled will be re­ funded. After next Aug. 1, waiver of premiums paid more than a year from date of application will be granted only in special cases where it can be shown that the insured Was unable to apply with­ in the time limit. - The other deadline affects beneficiaries of deceased NSLI policy holders who, prior to death either in service or after dis­ charge, became eligible for wai­ ver of premiums but never ap­ plied. Such beneficiaries may claim refund of waived premiums during the insured’s total dis­ ability extending as far back as Aug. 1, 1941, if application, with evidence of the insured’s right to waiver, is made by Aug. 1 of thjs year. After that date, waiver nor­ mally will not be granted for any premium which was due over a year from the insured’s death, and'ille beneficiary must apply within that time. Exception is made where the beneficiary is incompetent or a minor, in which case application must be filed within one year from removal of the legal barrier. Forms and assistance in apply­ ing for these benefits prior to the Agust 1 deadline are available at any VA office. Whooping Cough Is Serious Disease Whooping cough is one of the most serious (even fatal) disease o f infancy. There are still many parents who do not seem to give this disease the consideration which it deserves. It has been proved beyond all question of a doubt that whooping cough vac­ cine does protect, and frequently prevent. We®have had a fairly large number of cases (conclusion based upon rumor) among in­ fants. Parents should have their children immunized at once if this has not been done, and Boo­ ster doses should ’be/ given chil­ dren who have not been immu­ nized within the last three years. Use every possible means to' pre­ vent exposure o f young children to known o r suspected cases ’o f whooping cough. IN CHARGE OF 1947 YOUTH FAIR * * . !
