"The greatest thing that a town can
do for its poor and needy" will be the
discussion ot the local churches and
the local fraternal orders and other
Interested organizations and people
when representatives of these different bodies will meet on Wednesday
evening Dcember 6 at the town hall.
The "Community Chest" idea is well
know**, to most ot Amherst's people,
although never before has a like event
been suggested Or carried out in Amherst. I.oraln. Elyrla, and Cleveland
launch a Community Client drive each
year and would not be without one, according to the publicity that their
newspapers give It and also from pergonal comment from individuals.
This winter, will confront the needy
In Amherst as it has never confronted
them before and what Is Amherst going to da for them? This question
will be answered Wednesday evening
December 6th, when Amherst's strongest organizations will meet and make
plans for the flrat Community Cheat
campaign.
Rev. F. R, Eastman, was the originator of the Idea here and combined
with the efforts of Mayor Smythe, the
co-operation of every citizen in Amherst is assured.
In an interview with Rev. Eastman
yesterday, he stated that he had aeen
the pastors of the various churches
and had found that they were as
much enthused over the Idea as he
is and that they will do their upmost
to put the drive over.
Mayor J. J. Smythe has taken the
Job ot bringing the fraternal orders
to the front on this mater and he Is
confident-JhaJ. among the many orders here, he will not find a dlsaent'-
ing word.
The churches, the lodges and other
organizations are asked to elect a representative or representatives, which
ever the case might be, to meet together at the town hall on Wednesday
evening December 6th. At this meeting the plans for the drive will be
made.
The amount of money to be raised
will also be a question of the meeting and how the money will be disposed of will also be settled. In tact,
everything, necessary to launch a
campaign of thia type will be made
at tho meeting December 6.
Mayor 3. 3. Smythe will act as chairman of the committee and further information can be received from him
or Rev. F. E. Eastman.
Arrangements were made this week
for a union church service which will
be held Thanksgiving. The Methodist-
Congregational and Stone churches
will meet ln the Stone church on that
date. The services will start at ten
o'clock and will last one hour.

equests.
Mr. Lemke, of the West side was
also present filing a claim that the

stating that Mr. Lemke had told them
that he had enough soil and that he
didn't want anymore. Mr. Lemke
states that he had made no such statement. As there Is no more excess
soil and no funds to get any from
any other locality, the council refused
to act upon Mr. Leinke's claim.

owing to the fact that they did not approve ot the candidate which the
business men endorsed at a recent
meeting. The matter will lay over
until the next meeting.

Southwertern and Columbus Railway

HIGH TEAM WINS
COUNTY GRID TITLE
LOCAL'S WIN OVER WELLINGTON
GIVES   THEM   UNDISPUTED
TITLE—L.   NEUMEI8TER
RECEIVES BROKEN ANKLE IN GAME.
Amherst High School's little football team won honors for themselves
as well as for their school when they
defeated the Wellington high school's
outflt at the Hariss street field last
Friday afternoon, by a score of 13-12.
Their victory evened with their old rivals und at the same time gave them
the Lorain County Chumplonsliip for
the smaller schools.
The local gridders have suffered
one defeat this season while ull of
the other county schools have been
beaten twice an in many eases three*
and four times.
It was a plucky little team that
faced the much heavier Wellington
outflt at the beginning of the gume
Friday and it was a much pluckier
team when the final whistle blew
"Tommy" Gulselman scored the first
touchdown for Amherst as well as
making the first score ot the game,
-when he took the ball over through a
triple pass play. L. Neumelster kicked goal.
Wellington scored Boon after when
9te*cey pemeod to Shuater over the
goal line.    Stacey failed to kick goal.
Near the end of the first half, L.
Neumelster was carried from the field
with a broken ankle. At this time Wellington's rooters showed the lowest
form of sportsmanship. When the
Wellington crowd found out that Neumelster had been Injured their ohasrS
were loud and long, indicating that
they were glad of the fact that he had
been Injured und that be would be unable to finish the gume.
Wellington again scored in the third
period when Morhman took the bull
over on a line plunge. Stacy's drop
kick was blocked.
The locals did not give up however
and started a series of offensive plays
which baffled their opponents. (Juish-
mun playing guurd for Amherst blocked Wellington's punt which guve the
locals the possession of the ball. A
pass from Wilford to Frederick failed
although Wellington was penalized
for Interfering with u man while attempting to catch the ball and Amherst received the bull on the one
yard line where the interferuuee had
tuken place. With only forty seconds
to play, Wilford took the ball over for
the last touchdown und winning the i
game for Amherst. Gulselman failed
to kick goal.
When Neumeister was carried from j
the field, the locals lost their most ■
Important offensive player as well as!
the strongest second line defense man.;
Feeling that they must tight without'
him and also to fight for him, oue of
tin* scrappiest teams ever to repre-1
se*nt Amherst high school went into

defeat and also lost for them Ihe county title.

"WE  NEED THEM   BUT CAN'T PAY
THEM"COUNCIL   CLAIM8  AT
MEETING TUE8DAY
EVENING.
Marshal Win .Miller and street com-
mlssioniT. Christ Brucker were tem-
peirarlly discharges! by the council
at their mettlng Tuesduy night.
"We need I hem but cun't pay them"
was the einly solution that the council
wus able* to find, while discussing the
villuge finances. "If the voters hud
passed the two-mill levy we would
huve been ulrlght. but we have only
$0,700 to spend and there is a place
for all of It and some more too."
The villuge Is tn a very erltlcle condition, according to the discussion of
Ihe members of the council Tuesday
night They firmly beleive that It is
bad policy to do uwuy with a police
officer and a Btreet commissioner when
there is plenty of work for them that
needs to be done. By temporarily dis-
. barging these men, 12,400 will be
saved this year in salaries. This will
take effect on December 1.
The expi*lise will also be cut down
In the (Ire department, ueeordlng to a
report made by lire chief C. G. Asheu-
bacb.
In addition to the above mentioned
cuts. Mayor J. .1. Smythe stated that
be* would work for nothing, and not
to be out-done by the mayor, the
council expressed its willingness to
work for nothing also.
But doing away with the street commissioner, tlie marshal, cutting down
the expenses iu the fire department,
anjl agreeing to work for nothing
themselves, the council will still be
unable to meet the current expenses
of  the   village.
"Whut we will ever do remains to
be seen" suys the council.
