"SANDSTONE CENTER Of THI WORLD"
SEPARATE TOWNSHIP HIGH
SCHOOL BUILDING TALKED OF
SOUTH   AMHERSTITE8   MOSTLY   INTERESTED IN SEPARATE BUILDING—NO DEFINITE ACTION   TAKEN— WOULD    BE    DISADVANTAGEOUS TO  NORTH   PART   OF   TWP.     -
IMS IS NU WAY TO Gtl Un uUWN
There has been some talk of late
of building a separate high school
building for the township Instead of
Joining forces with the Amherst village board of education and erecting
a larger and better building which
will accommodate all pupils from all
partB of the township.
It seems that moat of the talk In
favor of the movement comes from
South Amherst. It Is probably the
Idea of the South Amherstlles to have
the building within their village limits, which would be a benefit to them
in some ways and In others it would
be a detriment.
Amherst   Wants   Co-operation.
The Amherst board of education
has met several times with the township board and both boards have (lis
cussed the question. It Is the aim
of the local board to build one centralized building, which will accommodate the pupils from South Amherst and every other part of the
township. It can easily be seen that
the town of Amherst ia the moat,
central location for any building to
be built, even for the township. If
the town and township unite their
efforts in the building proposition, students from the rural districts would
be able to attend the Amherst school
without paying tuition.
This la ono point that the Amherst
board has been hard at work on and
a point that it has had to consider
every minute of its Investigation. If
tho two forces unite a better and
larger buidllng can be erected.
If a building were to be erected in
South Amherst or any other one place
in the township it would be In a disadvantageous location to other parts
of the township. The students from
the north end would have to travel
three miles farther each way to get
to school.
School Could Not Be High Qrade.
If a township school building were
erected or built on to some present
structure the grade of the school
would not be of the highest. Amherst
high school now has urfcl maintains
a first class charter. Graduates from
that school are recognized in all colleges In the country, without first
taking an examination to enter. If
the township would start  a separate
school, a second or possibly only u
third grade charter would be awarded
them by the state. Thla would lower
the standartl of education for the rural
districts and would not be giving the
pupils of the township the best opportunities to obtain an education, which
are at their door, if they wish tS take
advantage of them. If they wish a
four year high school course they I
would be compelled lo come lo Am-1
heist   high   school   for  the  last   year.
No   Definite   Action.
There has been no definite plana
made nor haa the matter even been
taken up formally at a meeting, but
there has been much conversation between the residents of the township.!
The  local   board   hopes  the  peoplo
of the township, who will send  their'
children  to  high  school  will  aee  the |
advantage of their coming to Amherst j
which   will   give   them   an   education
from a school with a first class char- j
ter and If the township board endorses the movement for one high school
in the township they will not have to
pay tuition.
Local Bosrd st Work.
Many people have been wondering
why some definite action has not been
taken on the school building proposition. T'jere has been much discussion pro and con and everybody hns
been waiting for a final step to he
taken by the board. However, the
bor.rd has been at work and Is not
taking the matter hurriedly. It is
carefully studying the question. The
matter ot the township haa also caused
some  delay.
The board haa hud an architect
draw up several sets of plans and
for several weeks has been studying
the best type of building to build. The
plans will be submitted to several
contractors and prices ■ for building
the different types of structures will
be obtained.
It la the plan of the board to get
the matter settled as soon aa possible.
The crowded condition at the school
house at present is unbearable and
something must be done soon. Next
year the school population is again
expected ' to reach a new high mark
and more room will be needed to take
care   of   the   additional   pupils.
SCHOOL   AND   HOME   GARDENING
A department of the l'niled States
school garden army has been organized In the local schools with an enrollment of about 200. Madges have
been distributed to the pupils who
have enrolled. Officers, following
somewhat Ihe regular army organization,   will   be   selected.
Members of the gurden army are
pledged to plant and cure for some
sort of graden of vegetables. At the
end of the season, an exhibit will lie
made  and   prizes  awurded.
Kncotirage the boys and girls by
setting aside a part of the garden for
their particular use.
LOAD AUTOMOBILES
WEST  OF  TOWN
Saturday Amherst was a scene of
excitement and wonder In Amherst.
100 Peerless automobiles were driven
through from Cleveland to ihe switch
tower west of Amherst where they
were loaded on flat cars and ninth'
ready for shipment direct to the Pacific  coast.
The Peerless Motor Car company
of Cleveland Is shipping these cars
from Amherst instead of Cleveland
because of the embargo on freight
out of Cleveland und the congestion
in  the  freight  yards  of  that   city.
There wore fifty flat cars loaded
with the machines. The local freight
ofliclals aided in the loading.

SERVES   SEVERAL   YEARS   AS   LOCAL   HEALTH    OFFICER—
WM. MILLER NEXT.
Dr. W. H. Turner has resigned us
health officer of Amherst. He received notice from the state department that his resignation had been
accepted which took effect Monday,
May 10. Marshall Wm. .Miller has
been named hy the Health Commission  to take   Dr.  Turner's  place.
Under a new law recently (Missed
by the Ohio legislature It divides tInstate up Into districts and each district has Its health commissioner.
These districts are still divided up
Into smaller .sub-districts and each
haBdts deputy. Each of these smaller districts takes several townships.
Dr. Turner says that he did not have
the time to devote to the duties of I
this office of deputy commissioner. I
Heretofore the health oflicer had only |
one township to preside over.
The thieves managed lo get some
curtain materials but failed to get
th > ready-made curtains. A small reserve supply of silk In the rear of
the store was untouched, probably because the bandits did not know where
it wiis. There were two bolts of old
silk unlit to sell which was untouched
in the rear of the store und the best
of all goods were taken. Mr. Ashen-
bach says that he thinks If they hud
had more time other cloth would have
been stolen.
Gain Entrance Through Window.
The thieves gained entrance through
the balcony window In this rear of
the store which thoy managed to
open with some tinkering. All the
goods were taken up the stairs and
banded out the window. They failed
to open the door on the ground floor
which wns held only by a wood bar.
Mr. Ashenbach said that in tampering with his unlocked safe which
Contained nothing hut the company's
hooks they locked It. He thinks they
hud tin. idea of taking the sate but
after finding its weight, gave up the
idea. It Is thought the robbers were
in machines antl that there was at
least four members of the party.
Robbed Between 2 and 4 a. m.
The robbery probably occurred
sometime between 2 and 4 a. in. Sunday. Night tnarshall QMS. Miller said
when  he  passed  the store at  3:50 a
Efficient  Officer.
In the time that Dr. Turner served; m no i8 p0Bitive the silk was still in
In the capacity of health olltcor of j ;i„. window. The thieves, most like-
Amherst village and township he | )y were wutehlng every move of Mil-
proved  to  be  an  efficient  officer and I ],.r   allu   „niy   W()rked   while   he   was
well versed In all lines pertaining to
health and hygiene. He was at* the
head of the health department here
during several severe epidemics during the past two years and handled
each of them 'with skill and did his
utmost to prevent the spread of the
diseases. Some of the epidemics were
the Spanish influenza of both 191S-1II
and 1919-20, the meusles of 1920, Ihe
rabbles, which has been recently raging in the vicinity and many other
minor cases that wore also handled
with care.
While Turner has been health olli-
cer the  town  has  tried  to co-operate
with him and In leaving his office he
says   that   he   wishes   to   extend   his
thanks to the mayor, the council und I
the   people   In   general   for   their   cooperation   (luring   his   term   of   office |
and   he   hopes   that   his   efforts   have j
not  been in  vain.
Wm.  Miller New Officer.
The health commission on Ihe resignation of Dr. Turner appointed
Marshall  William   Miller.
Mr. Miller for sevorul years has
acted aa sanitary policeman for the
city and has performed these duties
well.     He   goes   Into   the   office   with
out of sight, it is quite possible
they were iu the store when he passed
ut 3:50 Inn kept themselves concealed. It is thought they took the
silk iu the window the last thing after
every other article had been taken
to the  machine.
The robbery was first noticed about
7 a. in. when Mr. Ashenbach went to
the store to lower the awning. He
notified the police of the town and
Investigalion started at once. The
only trace left was a glove which
probably   belonged   to   a   short   stout
ing.
Suspicious Men in Store Tuesday.
Mr. Ashenbach said one of his clerks
Miss Kllziibeth Ashenbach reports
that there were two suspicious looking men in the store last Tuseday afternoon. One of them purchased
women's silk stockings while the other casually wandered around the
store,   looking  as  he   went.
Miss Ashenbach said they hesitated
about taking the stockings und compelled her to show them several different kinds, thus giving them time
to get a good view of the store. Finally one pair was purchased and a five
dollar bill was handed to the clerk.
Thinking something suspicious about
the men, the (derk marked a cross
on the bill as she laid It in the cash
drawer.
She  said   that   one   man   was   short
and   stout   while   the   other   was   tall.
One  carried   a  cane   but   Hhe   thought
his  limp   wus  unnatural.    The   police
authorities   ure   quite   satisfied     that
theBo two men  were In the store for
a   purpose   and   most   likely   were   in
the crowd that robbed the store Sunday  morning.
Others  See   Suspicious  Machines.
Several other residents report   that
they   noticed   suspicious   looking   machines   in   Amherst   Suturduy  evening
and early Sunday morning.    One man
reports thai he noticed two machines,
one   a   touring   ear  and   the   other   a
Ford   runabout   circling   a   square   iu
town   about   12:30  o'clock.     He   took
the number of one to the best of his
ability   and   has   reported   it   to   the
authorities.     He  was  not   able  to  ex-
actly distinguish the number, however.
Another man reports that  he saw Ihe
same   machines   that   were   described
when he was down town at 1:30 Sunday   morning.     Still   another   reports
he   saw   the   machines   on   the   state
roud south of town about  3 a. in.
Card Sent to Ohio Cities.
Placards  wen?  Immediately  sent  to
the   police   authorities   of   all   important   cities   and   every   effort   will   be
made on the part of the local force to
recover  the  goods  and   round-up the
gang.
Mr. Ashenbach says that tags with
his name on were rolled up in the
bolts of silk. The thieves probably
will not detect this and it is thought
the goods will be sold without taking
these tags off. The police of other
towns were given one of these tugs
and uHked to examine the silk In tbe
dry  goods  stores  of  their  towns.
This is the first robbery causing
such a great loss for many months
in Amherst and bus caused everyone
to be ou the alert from now on for
