A. NESTER, OP THI OREEN
UNE—COUNCIL TO CONSIDER THE MATTER
J. A. Neater, representative of the
Cleveland, Southwestern and Columbus Railway company, was present at
the council meeting Tuesday night,
asking Hie council to consider the
matter of passing an ordinance, regulating tha bos traffic here.
Tha substance of Mr. Nester's requests are aa follows: All buses operating In Amherat should carry a license; the driver muat be an American cttlsen who can read and write;
ha muat also take out Indemnity bonds
and must operate his buses only on
certain streets.
Mr. Neater believes that the bus
traffic does not offer fair competition
In that they run when they feel like It
and when the weather la good, but the
street cars must run at all hours In
both bad and good weather. He stated further, "One of us muat go; we
cannot remain tn business on account
of the unfair competition which they
offer ua; If we leave town, the buses
will be unable to take care of the
traffic and the people will want the
atreet car service back again."
Several members of the council signified that they were heartily In favor
ot legislating on the matter after they
held had ample time to consider the
mattes*-.
Practically all towns through which
the Oreen Line operates have passed
auch ordinances or are considering
them at the preaent time.
The council asked Mr. Nester when
the tracks on Lincoln street would
be repaired according to the agreement made by the Oreen Line officials
aad the council a short time ago. Mr.
Nester stated that they would ft** the
tracks aa soon aa they knew whether
or sot they would be still able to run
la Amherst, baaing his statement on
the bus proposition.
Both matters are now pending In-
veetlgatlon and It la hoped that both
parties will he able to give a favorable report by the next meeting night.

benefit.
"Again Fourth of July la approach-
tog," aays State Fire Marshal H. A.
Dykeman. "It ta a day that firemen
dread more than any other period of
the year. Whether July 4, 1922, Is to
be a day of sorrow or one of Joy depends upon the proper handling of all
kinds of fireworks.
"Each municipality has, or should
have, proper regulatory ordinances
governing the sale of and the time and
place tor exploding fireworks. Some
towns forbid the sale or firing ot the
heavier kinds altogether.
"Bach father, mother or guardian
should see that hla children and wards
do not run Into danger, and that even
with the simplest form of fireworks
there Is always the double danger of
death and loaa ot valuable property.
"The question, 'What are the dangerous forma ot fireworks V is answered by saying 'anything that will
produce a spark can be dangerous if
Improperly handled.' Even the so-
called 'harmless" sparkler Is responsible for deaths and fires.
"Laat year on July 4, In Ohio, a
platol cartridge, atruck with a carpenter's hammer, killed a man. Last
year a four-year-old girl died a horrible death from lockjaw caused by
wadding from a toy platol, and yet tor
years tha Ohio statutes have declared
agalnat the aale of the blank cartridge platol to minora.
"Of tha SS persons Injured by fire-'
works In Ohio laat Fourth, IB were
children; and ot the accident*, the
common firecracker accounted for 12
casualties ot all ages. Roman candles
hurt 4, skyrockets 3, gunpowder and
bullets S, toy cannot S, red fire 1
bombs 1, toy platol S, carbide cans 1
'mines' and sparklers 1.
"There were, last Fourth, 29 fires
due to fireworks. Of these, one was
caused hy a toy balloon; 8 by skyrockets, S by Roman candles, IS by firecrackers, 1 by a ulgaret being thrown
Into a fireworks stand, 1 from a display ot fireworks, and one from a
match nipped Into a fireworks pile by
a careless smoker.
"In 1920 one person was killed and
23 ware hurt on July 4 by fireworks
In Ohio. Of the SS Injured, 22 wen-
children.
"ln the United Stataa from 1903 to
IBIS, 1114 people died and 42,286
ware crippled by fireworks. When
the Safe and Sane Celebration Idea
finally took root, the tragedies dropped
to almoat aero.
"Which do you prefer, a happy but
tired child safely asleep In* hla trundle
bad. or a gruesome, blaokened Corpse
on the coM marble slab In a morgue?
Choose the 8a{e and 8ane!"

various rotations, ti is well known
to many of ub that tbe station at
Wooster is considered tn be among
the best of the country and work conducted there should be of special interest to the farmers so near this institution. Those who have made the

living ln the southern part of the county to make the trip. On the station

time at the council meetings aad haa

The engineers reported that they
hud come to an agreement with a" B.
Aldrlch of Milan avenue, concerning
his sewer connections. It wa* found
that to get a proper fall it would be
necessary to run an extra sewer pipe
from the east side of Mr. Aldrlch's
east lot to a point thirty feet eastward. By doing this, Mr. Aldrlch tat
the engineers believe that there will
be no more controversy over tha sewer situation.

sesslng ordinance, the Colburn property waa assessed for sixty-five teet

Doctor Schaeffer Takes the Medal
Dr. Wm. G. Schaeffer is exhibiting
with pride a certificate which he
brought back from Cleveland on Monday, which he considers of sufficient
importance to hang beside his Sheepskin in his office.
The story goes that "Doctor Bill"
made a special trip to Cleveland to Interview the department of Internal
Revenue, relative to securing a license to v run his launch, which has
been resting peacefully in Beaver
Creek since a Federal officer advised
him that it probably would be a good
plan not to use It until he had secured
a license to do so. And since said
time Doc's reply to the constant demands of his friends to take them for
a ride haa been, "I guess I better not."
But to get hack 'to the story. Doc
stalked majestically Into the Internal
Revenue Collector's offloe and demand-
ad a license.    He waa handed a little
blue book and was told to go over in
the corner und study the rules of the
read, when tne road happens to be s
body of water. After thirty minutes
of concentration on the contents of
the little blue book, Doc announced to
the young lady that he was prepared
for the worst. A conversation something  tike this followed:
Girl: "When turning your boat to
the left, how should you signal your
intention so to do to another vessel?"
Doc: "Hold out your right hand,
and if necessary, wave It."
Girl: "What should you do In overtaking  and  passing  another  vessel7"
Doc:    "Give her the gas."
Girl: "In case of engine trouble,
what would you dot"
Doc:    "Call Art Tolhurst."
Girl: "If your boat shoulu capaiae,
what would you do?"
. Doc:    "Holler like h— for help."
After several more questions, answered with equal brilliance, the girl
urhered him before the man in charge,
who asked the girl if he had passed
the exam. The girl's reply was in the
affirmative and the genial doctor received his certificate after depositing
a fee of 85c.
"I haven't yet decided whether the
girl liked my appearance, er felt sorry
for me, or whether the nervous attack in the officer's right eyelid when
he asked the girl whether or net I had
passed the examination waa responsible fer the successful conclusion. But,"
adds the doctor, "If I ever become dissatisfied with the "D. D. S." after my
name, I can prefix It with th* word
'Skipper,' and if you get *o smart
about it I may make you call me
'Captain'."
Miss Oenevieve Aldrlch, daughter of
