The group was treated to refresh ments served by Mrs. Tarr, Mrs. Charles Abbott, Mrs. Dale Morrison and Mrs. William Kahl. The incapacitated farmer viewed the proceedings when the neighbors backed a truck to his door and moved him out of the house.

A good lawyer might help, but even he can’t guaran tee that you will not have to pay damages. Liability insurance not only provid es the lawyer when need ed, but it pays the dam ages, too. You get a real bargain in protection for as little as $10 a year. Diller Insurance Agency “Diller’s Policies Pay” Clarence D. Diller, Agent Phone 239-W 125 N. Main St. Bluffton, Ohio the demonstration at the Milan pris on gates, the publication said, he wrote to his wife, Lenna Mae: “Write immediately and tell friends I urge they refrain from holding any demonstrations at the prison—I feel that this is not the place for a protest—other places could be used, although I do not like sensational demonstrations of like sensational demonstrations at all in my case. I don’t want to strengthen any impression o ‘defiance.’ I’m a teacher and feel that I violated no draft law’. I’m confident the court will uphold this —I hope friends will respect my feel ings and not demonstrate here. There are plenty of things far more effective and educational than picketing.” To Attend FHA Regional Meeting Miss Doris Niswander, Mt.
