Peculiarly enough, there is something in the sight of a large group of young people lined up in ordered ranks and doing mass calisthenics that brings to mind the words ©otatorship, totalitarianism and regimentation. That attitude is probably a hangover from the days wlisa r’a youths were doing It in Berlin. This photo shows a general view of 42,000 Czech young people sI i awes who lined up in Prague’s Sokol stadium for a mass display of calisthenics and dances. 50 inPrizes OfferedinHorse Show atFair m An $1,850 purse will be distri­ buted among 24 classes at the 9th annual saddle horse show of the Greene county fair Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, Aug. 3 and 4.

Tucker, Hillsboro, will serve as announcer. .Ralph Townsley, Gc- darville, is in charge o f the show* The horse show, in former years a regular early evening event during all four days g £ the fair, will he held only two nights this year. It wa3 decided to reserve two full evenings for the saddle show and the remaining two for the vaudeville and circus acts rather than to spread these events over the entire four days, according to Mrs. Bryson. She said the request fo r this change came from horse show ex­ hibitors who felt that under the old arrangement it was necessary to rush the show to leave ample time fo r the following evening attraction, . , Part of the new horse barn at the fairgrounds will lie used to house the saddle horses, Mrs., Brvson said.

Judge Rules Auditor May PayBackBills Declaring there had been “ no connivance to evade the law” by five county offices, Common Pleas Judge Frank L. Johnson has ruled that County Auditor James J. Cuvlett can legally pay §3, 813.73 in bills submitted with­ out advance purchase certificates. The decision, sought by the auditor to relieve himself o f any re/ponsibilitv in paying what he considered “ illegal” bills, pointed out that creditors had delivered supplies to the offices “ in good faith.” Judge Johnson ordered heads of the departments concerned--the sheriff's office, county road de­ partment under the engineer, county infirmary, county chil­ dren’s home and the county poor relief agency—to certify at once an estimate of the amount of such obligations; the county com­ missioners to approve those esti­ mates for payment and the audi­ tor to issue warrants. The jurist also advised coun­ ty officials not to ignore the state purchase certificates in the ob- law requiring the issuance of tabling of supplies, warning that the auditor is not authorized here after to make payments for materials obtained without such a certificate. Cuvlett,. who said a state offi­ cial had advised him that he could not legally issue warrants for the payment of the $3,813.75 in bills without a court order, ex­ plained it had long been a state law to buy through purchase cer­ tificates. However, he said, an amendment, effective last fall, had forced more strict compli­ ance. The auditor said he had refused to make himself liable for find­ ings later by a state examiner. The suit fo r the declaratory judg- meiv* was filed for him by Prose­ cutor Marcus Shoup. Contract Awarded Ashland Firm Fenton Construction company, Ashland, low bidder for the proj­ ect, was awarded the contract for improving 5.645 miles of Route 42 in Cedarville township Ovepno county, and Greene and Madison township, Clark county, the state highway department an­ nounced Wednesday in Columbus.

Herbert recommended . the names of five Greene county citizens to constitute a selective service, board to direct tlte now peacetime draft in this county. They are: L. S. Barnes, 203 East Second street, Xenia paint store employe. Melvin Johnson, Wilberfovce, college faculty member. R. W. MacGregor, Cedarville, avenue, Osborn, business man and and mayor of Osborn. R. E. Crone, 28 East Emerson R. R. 2, farm operator. M. F. Moran, Ankeney Mill road, Xenia, R. R. 3, paint manu­ facturer. 'Mr. Barnes and Mr. Johnson were members of selective serv­ ice board No. 1 which directed the draft in Xenia township for World War II. Mayor Crone was chairman of board No. 2 that controled selective service in the rest of the county during World War II. All agreed to serve. The names were telegraphed to Adj. Gen. Chester W. Goble Fri­ day noon and will be certified to Washington, D. C. for approval and official appointment. They were recommended by Probate Judge W. B. MeCnllister, Jr. and R. A. Higgins of the Xenia Ga­ zette, appointed fo r this purpose by Gov. Herbert late Thursday evening. Common Pleas Judge F. L. Johnson, also designated on the recommending committee, had previously voiced apposition to the new selective service in prin­ ciple and declined to serve with the committee. Mr. Barnes and Mr. Crone were original members of their respec­ tive hoards and served for more than six years until discharged from their duties after the end of hostilities. With Mr. Johnson, who was appointed to board No. 1 to succeed the late W. A. Ander­ son of Wilberforce they will bring an experience and familiarity with the board’s duties to the new selective service group. The original board No. 2 was composed of Dr. II. C. Messenger, R. Hayes Hamilton, W. A. Ander­ son, I/. S. Barnes and Charles A. Bono, Mr. Hamilton was succeed­ ed upon resignation from the board by P. E. Cox, who served until their duties ended. The o- riginal county hoard was compos­ ed of Mr* Crone, Hugh Turnbull of Cedarville township; Harry Ferguson of Beavercreek town­ ship, Rev. John Kelly of Yellow Springs anil the late Clay Mauck o f Jamestown. When the county board was dis­ charged Mr. Crone and Harold Breakfield were still active mem­ bers with Rev. Kelly, who since has been transferred from the county. John Munger, Beaver­ creek township, also a member, was inactivated by injuries re­ ceived in an accident. Begin Exams for 4-H Club Members Preliminary physical exami­ nations were given by Dr. Gor­ don E. Savage, public health commissioner, to hoys and girls competing fo r the title o f “ Greene county’s healthiest 4-H club mem­ ber.” Trophies will he presented at the county fa ir to the healthiest 4-,II boy and girl. Contestants, were selected by nomination within the various clubs and through the health de­ partment’s physical examination records o f high school juniors and seniors. Winners last year, were Nancy Sanders, Silvercreek township, and Roger Conklin, Xenia town­ ship, who went on to capture the title of “ Ohio’s healthiest 4-H club hoy.” W. C.St.Jplm Resignsfrom FairBoard By MARY FAY BRYSON The Green County Fair Board, much against its wishes, is obliged to accept the resignation of one r o f its valued members, Walter C. St. John. Mr. St. John has de- - cided to ease up a bit here and •there in his several activities. For this reason the board has agreed to his request that he he permitted to resign. Mr. St. John believes it must have been at least 26 years that . he has been a member of the fair hoard* Most of this time he has served as one of the two superintendents of the cattle de­ partment. It is a tradition of the St. John’s that the whole family at­ tends .thp fair. When the children were youngsters, it meant that edfch day of the fair, they were all up bright and early. It meant a large basket of good country food, from fried chicken to Mrs. St. John’s prize cake, was pre­ pared that the family might daily enjoy a picric dinner under one of the spreading old trees of the fairgrounds. In more recent years, the picnic basket has been ex­ changed for places at the fair hoard’s table in the dining hall. Mr. St. John knows a thing or two about cattle. For many years he possessed a well known Jersey herd, usually about fifty head. Now that part of his farm busi­ ness has been discontinued. However, he still has a flock of Shropshire sheep with fifty ewes, and this past spring, sixty lambs. So even without the herd of eattle, he still finds plenty of work to do on his 168-acre farm. This farm was where Mr. and Mrs. St. John (Cora Sutton) established their home 54 years ago. Here their children were born. Edith (Mrs. William R. Col­ lins, of Wilimette, 111.; Elbert of Wichita. Kans.; Col. Clement‘ F. (M. D.) ox Governor’s Island, N. Y .; and Ivan, of Wilmington, Del.) Mr. St. John recently resigned as superintendent of the New Jasper Methodist church; Sunday school, where he has served as superintendent fo r forty years. Mrs. St. John has taught Girls Who Do” now i(The-Cotip Class” for thirty-some years. The St. Johns are numbered among the Masons and Eastern,' Star of Jamestown; the farm bu­ reau; the farm bureau discussion group No. 2; the Jamestown grange and the rural improve-' mont club. Mr. St. John has been a depend­ able member of the (fair board, one whose enreful opinions 'were always respected and whose coun­ sel has been sought by other members of the hoard. His good nature . and extreme spark of humor have endeared him to all his associates. The fair hoard has been fortu­ nate in having had Mr. St. John as a member. It is no wonder that it regrets the necessity of accept­ ing his resignation. , 4 -H Club News Flans fo r participation in the Greene County 'Fair were com­ pleted by the Clifton Happy Workers . at a recent meeting at the home of Jo Ann Sheely. Twenty-one members, three lea­ ders and three guests were pres­ ent. The club will enter exhibits in the conservation booth and will have a float in the 4-H Club parade. The junior leaders, >Re- bec'ca Cresiv'ell and Eleanor Sparrow, will be in charge of these arrangements. StateFairHobby ShowOpentoAil Boysand Girls Boys and girls of Ohio who have hobbies were urged today to enter the Ohio state fair hobby show, which assistant state fair Manager D. Robert Jones stated will be an important part of the expanding junior’ division o f the Ohio state fair, Aug. 28 through Sept. 3. Mrs. _Martha M, Edwards, Westerville, is the superintendent in charge and Miss Suzanne Bostwick, Powell, is the junior fair board member assigned to that department. Mrs. Edwards said that the show is divided in­ to two divisions—senior individ­ ual (15 to 20 years of age) and junior individual (14 years or younger) and that all entries must represent work of the ex­ hibitors. She stressed the fact that the hobby show is open to all boys and girls—that they need not be affiliated with such organiza­ tions as 4-H, FFA and that there is no limitation on the number of exhibits. Entries close Aug. 10.
