To the Union Co. Journal:
Sirs:
I, as just one member of tffe
County’s Servicemen, would like
to taki?- this chance and privelegt*
to speak my appreciation and
gratefulness for the newsy and
interesting little home-town paper.
4 am sure thah I am speaking fop
All us overseas subscribers, that
it is almost as welcome in our*
mail call as letters are from our
closest friends and loved o»es,
which I know are very priceless
items here. The littte (great)
paper has a tendence to relieve
our minds, momentarily, from the
duties that we are performing and
lift our spirts and minds into a
tealm of things back home, for
A’hich we are
fighting. Almost seems like a^visit
with your folks or a good friend
from whom you have leen separ*
ated. I only hope that you continue
on the good road of printing the
things which do help and benefit
the boys and girls, who have left
“Our” Country, temporarily to do
this job which has been brought
©n us, and is being well taken care
a of. As you can see, we have “old
struggling and
Jerry” back in his own backyard,
and
which makes defeat more
more a catastrophe to thenl both
mentally and militarily.

the day soon shall come when the
Axis has been bro’t to his knees
and the boys all, “Come Marching
Home”, and may I add this, that
through prayer, this thing can be
accomplished soon.*

Considerably confusion was
ctiUsed in MarysVille over the mat
ter of changing time from Central
War time to Central Daylight sav-
Actually, thie time change is not
to be made until midnight today.
This is the result of the wording in
the time-change on fast time from
April 2 until October. “From” A
pril 2 is interpreted to mean begin
ning with midnight today.
Many people, however, thought
the change was to be made at mid
night Sunday and consequently set
their clock# ahead last night.
Nestles Milk Products, Inc., made
the change-over this morning and
the milk plant whistle, of course,
was blown on fast time. Many re
sidents here who do not work at
the milk plant still go by the
whistle there in the mornings, and
So began their day on fast lime.
Perhaps the greatest confusion
occurred at the schools. In accord
ance with the village ordinance,
the Marysville schools remained
on slow time today. Several hun
dred of the pupils, however, ar
rived an hour ahead of time and
some of the buses made their trips
on fast time. Children from the
Home also arrived an hour early
and had-to wait until school
gart.
be­
au-
The situation, of course, will
tomatlcally straighten itself out
after tonight, because the change
is officially in effect then and
everything will operate on daylight
savings time until next fall.

Several instances of petty van
dalism in beautiful Legion Park
have come to the attention of the
Park Board, and parents are ask
ed to co-operate with Legionnaires
in keeping the park in good con
dition by warning their children to
refrain from such acts.
Among the damage done in re
cent days at the Park is the delib
erate up-rooting of several young
evergreen trees planted last fall,
marking up the toilet walls, break
ing of light bulbs, and breaking
the pump on the west side of the
Park. In addition, someone has
taken it upon himself to burn the
leaves on the east side of the Park,
destroying a4lot of grass and wild
bloom.
L. P. Rausch, Park manage1?,
said he replanted more on a
high bank just west of the run go
ing through the Park, Sunday. The
little trees had been pulled up
within the past day or two. The
pump, again broken, has been fix
ed by the Legion at least a half
dozer/ times in the past few
months, and walls of toilets have
had to be painted several times be
cause of the repeated writing on
the wall.
Keep Dogs Ont
Another wide-spread practice
which the Legion wants stopped is
that of taking dogs into the Park
for’ their outings. The dogs are

Ideal Recreation Center
Legion Park was established in
1925 by Union post as a memorial
to veterans of the last war, in an
effort to provide something more
generally useful than a statue or
monument The post has spent
thousands of dollars in equipment
and maintaining the Park, and
Marysville has one of the most
ideal receation spots in Ohio as
a result. Few towns can boast of
anything comparable.
Through the past 20 years, the
Legion has maintained the Park
for the benefit of the entire public.
No fees whatsoever have been
charged for its use, except slight
rental charges it the shelter
houses are desired. The Board
hopes that it will never become
necessary to alter this policy, but
if the public at large doesn’t show
more appreciation for the Park,
something will have to Ire done, it
was warned.

By 1. BLAINE HARRIS
Secretary, Conservation Advisory
Council
On April 1, 1820 a new founty
was established in Ohio. It was
formed from parts taken* from Del
aware, Madison, Franklin, and Lo
gan counties, along with a strip of
Indian territory lying directly
north of the old Greenville Treaty
line. The name “Union” was given
to this new political sub-division in
recognition of its method of form
ation.
The area ul Union county is
277,670 acres, of which 271,313 is
tillable. The surface of the county
is gently rolling and all of the
drainage is into the Scioto river,
through a network of lesser
streams, flowing for the most part
in a southeasterly direction. The
principal industry is agriculture
and the county has 177,8-12 acres
of cropland, suited to the growing
of turn, wheat, oats, soybeans, al-
falfu, and clo.ci u.u. A genci.ll
type of farming is carried on, with
dairying leading, losely ’allowed
by swine i aising and poultry and
egg production
Earliest Settlement
men was probably made tn 1798.
The first settlers came from Penn
sylvania, Virginie New York, and
New Jersey, beings largely
Scotch, English, and Irish decent.
rl'he earliest .settlement was along
Darby creek and the development
of the county proceeded northward
rather slowly for a number of
years. The peak of rural population
was reached in 1880 with a total of
18,207 This number had declined
to 12,671 in 1940,
The greater part of the surface
of Union county is either level or
gently rolling, with some of the
rougher portions lying adjacent to
the upper water of Millcreek, a
