SummerSchool Enrollment Is Downat College Cedarville college is continuing its policy o f offering- thqse sub­ jects most needed by teachers in service in summer school and those planning to graduate in August.

There are a larger number o f teachers in the s&hool working toward their degress in conformance with the requirements « f the state depart­ ment o f education. ' The elementary department un­ der the, direction o f Mrs. Bertha Nixon with Mrs. Maxine Sesslar assisting in the art courses is the most popular. Many students in the art courses are learning to weave seats in cane chairs, a craft they expect to use in their own art work in the public schools.

CreditOfficial ToSpeakat Stornm w i t h accompanying tornadj-like winds and a heavy downpour of rain swept all south­ ern Ohio the latter part of last week. Except for excessive rainfall and some casual damage to trees this community escaped the fury that nearby sections felt. Neigh­ boring Yellqw Springs had a cloudburst that deluged the vil­ lage, flooding basements and ruining stored foods at Antioch Tea room and causing more than inconvenience to people all over town. Stores and homes were in­ vaded by river-like torrents that swept along the streets, over­ flowing the gutters and pouring into buildings. The* newspaper building was flooded and a dor­ mitory at *the college was dam­ aged badly. Trees were uprooted and limbs strewn about the streets. The telephone service was disrupted and here and there in the county power service was temporarily disturbed but none of it for any length of time. Local Damage Light Damage done by the storm in this area was comparatively quarters in Dayton. Martin Bonar, secretary-trea­ surer of Miami Valley Production Credit association will speak at the annual meeting of the Greene county soil conservation,, district Friday at 8 p. m. at Xenia town­ ship school on Old Springfield pike.

Smith, Jamestown resident and prosecuting attorney of Greene county, lias begun ac­ tive war against operation of slot machines in the county. Sat­ urday he cracked down on two places—one at Middletons Corn­ er, south of Xenia on US-68, and the other in Jamestown. “ Really and insult/’ he is quot­ ed as saying about the James­ town “ slot,”—“ in my own town, right under my nose!” Prosecutor Smith employed a truck drivel-, and with the as­ sistance of Police Chief Howard Wright, picked up the machine -in. Jamestown, ana the one at the grocery store in the other end of the county was seized and re­ moved. In rapid follow-up fashion the cases are brought up before Judge D. M. Aultman o f the Xe­ nia municipal court. Lawrence Clai’k, operator of Clark’s pool room, Jamestown was fined §50 and costs and sent- '"eneed to 10 days in jail for al­ lowing a slot to be operated in his place of business, but five o f the days were suspended. Mrs. Gladys Bowell, operator of Bow- ell’s grocery at Middleton’s Corn­ er, was fined §50 and costs On a similar charge. Judge Aultman asked both de­ fendants i f they had been asked to pay or had paid ‘‘protection” money to anyone to give thenx Immunity from the law in allow­ ing the slots to be placed in their places of business. Both denied any “protection" or any payments to guax-antee their immunity. Clark also denied he knew who owned the machine, although he did tell the court the name of the man who services the slot. Both Clark and Mrs. Bowell pleaded guilty to the charges. The two machines were ordered destroyed and were put under the sledge-hammer immediately. Mon­ ey found in the machines will go into the county treasury. They were smashed by the prosecutor with the aid of Xenia police. Judge Aultman spoke his own piece about his attitude towards operation of slot machines- He backs the prosecutor completely in liis determination to wipe out the evil in the county.
