Tuesday, June 23, 1970 News Journal. Mansfield, 0. 9 "wwrr 1 Trr -a a Work tor Week ill ffisi.mnni ir Galion Youths Renovate Chapel Hi i i well as to the Hermitage, home of Andrew Jackson near Nashville, Tenn. Leaving Galion on Saturday morning, June 13 the group spent that night in a church at Nashville. They slept on the floor of the church, and attended services there later In the morning before traveling on to Mississippi.

The arrived at the camp Sunday night, June 14. The trip home to Galion was made non stop, leaving the camp on Saturday, June 20, and arriving in Galion, Sunday morning. Last year, a group of Galion students went to Walden Creek Presbyterian Camp near Sevier-ville, where they helped with construction work. The project is known as the Sutton Memorial Student Service Project. Monies have been provided for travel expenses by a memorial to Mrs.

Ernest Everard Sutton, given by her daughter, Miss Effie Sutton of Bloomington, Ind. Making the trip this year with Rev, and Mrs. Temple were Cynthia Curran, Debbie Harris, Joe Foltz, Dough Healey, David and Dan Meek. During the stay at the camp one night, David Meek received a telephone call from his mother that he has been accepted as a page, this coming year, to Congressman Jackson E. Betts, in Washington, D.

C. took turns ln buying groceries and cooking with the help of Mrs. Temple. The week before a crew from Oklahoma had painted three outside walls of the chapel, leaving the third one for the Galion students. lit addition to the hot, humid climate, the Galion youths experienced attacks from the "chlg-gers." This tiny parasite lodged in their flesh.

For relief, a bath in chloroxed water was recommended. Some nail polish was applied to the place on the skin where the chlgger had lodged and this would smother the Insect which left a mark that looked simlr to a mosquito bite. Aberdeen Is a town located In the northeastern part of the state between Tupelo and Columbus, Miss. Giving of themselves for this worthwhile cause offered an invaluable experience for these students. They also saw the poverty of the southern negroes.

The group visited the Mary Holmes College at West Point, and all black school which is supported by the Presbyterian Church. All of the students at the school receive aid, it was pointed out to the Galion group. A visit was made to the Columbus, Miss. Air Force Base as By CATHERINE RORICK GALION Working Ln a less privileged area of Mississippi where daytime temperatures were in the lower 90'i, and nighttime never got below 80 degrees, six Galion High school students gave their manual assistance last week In renovating a chapel. The small church is located at the Wrenwoode Conference Center near Aberdeen, Miss.

The Galion students four boys and two girls all from First Presbyterian Church, were accompanied by the pastor Rev. Robert Temple and his wife. Tey worked under the direction of the United Presbyterian Church, Board of National Missions. The labor of the Galion group amounted to varnishing the ceiling and all of the pews, and painting one outside wall of the chapel probably saving the board of national missions about $1,000. High on a scaffold, the group worked, their preacher right with them.

The camp was located back in the woods on a lake. While they had cottages with modern facilities where they slept and ate, the nights were hot and little relief came from fans.

Jeneva Robinson are re doubling efforts to raise funds to help with mounting expense of hospital and doctors' bills. Mrs. Robinson suffered a set back a few days ago the loss of her eyesight. This complication is in addition to the loss of both kidneys and the prospect of a kidney transplant. The Galion Trouble Clinic, at its last meeting, decided to assist the other groups in the collection of funds, according to Ralph Swick, Trouble Clinic President.

It is hoped that this action will encourage additional donations as the amounts coming in have been a little slow. Mrs. Robinson was taken to the Cleveland Clinic Saturday. The loss of her eyesight is being assessed to determine what effect it may have on her scheduled kidney transplant. Present plans are for the donation of a kidney by her brother at the end of this month.

Driving School Orig Sentenced to Jail Term The Galion Jaycees and the Local 6578, United Steel-workers of America, a workers' union at the North Electric Company where Mrs. Robinson was employed, joined forces in trying to raise $20,000.

Galion Man GALION-Larry L. Cole, 23, Galion, was sentenced to 90 days in the Crawford County jail, when he ap-p eared, Monday, before Judge O. II. Hllbornin Eastern District, Crawford County court, here. Cole was arrested on a breaking and entering Dedicated By TERRY BURGESS ASHLAND More peo-( pie are injured every year on our highways than have been injured in 180 years of war.

Approximately 3,300,000 people are Injured on the nation's highways yearly, Gorodn J. Wagner asks "Who cares about this?" Wagner is one of the pioneers in traffjc safety. He travels throughout Ohio communities including Ashland and Mansfield in his mobile trying to teach drivers his defensive driving techniques. Traffic safety is his business. He has been at it for 18 years and think he has some of the answers on how to cut down on fatalities and injuries on our highways.

Wagner started out as the director of driver training for the Chicago Transit Au-, thority, later to move to Cleveland as supervisor of Area Hospital Records Anyone wishing to help may direct donations to the Jeneva Robinson Fund, in care of The Galion Trouble Clinic, Galion Ohio, Non profit status has already been established for the Trouble Clinic, making it possible to consider all gifts tax deductable. The 22 year old Galion woman originally from Bucyrus, became ill Jan, 17, with what she thought was the flu. Later her illness was diagnosed as a serious kidney ailment, resulting in the necessity of having both kidneys removed. Medical expenses have risen with Mrs. Robinson traveling to Cleveland twice a week, Wednesday and Saturday, to use a kidney machine.

This cost $600 or each trip. She is scheduled for the kidney transplant on June 29. Her husband Thomas also became ill, and was hospitalized recently. Jeneva's weight as of this week, was reported to be down to 81 pounds. The Robinsons live at 571 Park in Galion.

Galion Driver Gets Three-Day Sentence motor Safety nique largely relies on the fact that there are only six positions or situations that a motor vehicle can be in while on the highway. He developed defensive driving habits that can prevent any one of the situations from deteriorating into an accident or traffic violation. The first week of the class is used in describing these six situations and explaining techniques to use when they occur. The student is given a check sheet to use during the next week to check his reactions to poten-t i a 1 1 dangerous predicaments. The second week the student is given a written test, his check sheet is evaluated and he is given an operational test.

Through the use of a movie and a consoleat each desk which records the individual answers, the student is tested in dangerous situations and his reactions are recorded. He has his choice of one of four answers that are i m-posed on the screen. The right answer would eradicate from danger. Wagner acquaints nearly all accidents with driver failure, not mechanical failure. It is his feeling that most accidents 1 be avoided and excuses we use for them are nonsense.

Because it is raining when a man is killed in an accident the death is no easier on his family, is his philosophy. The mobile unit will be open to the public at the mall in Mansfield June 24, 25, and 26 from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Judge Eugene Puglisl of the Ashland Municipal Court puts great faith in Wagner and the defensive driving school. In many of the traffic cases that come before him he suspends the license in lieu of taking and passing the five hour course.

"How do you get the attention of a habitual traffic offender?" 1 i i asks. "What do you expect a traffic court judge to do?" Judge Puglisi says that he is a hard man to con, having sat through thousands of cases, and that when violators tell him they won't be able to get to work without their driving privileges, he tells them tncy should have thought of that before they violated the laws. "I have letters from people that I lent to driver's school telling me that it was the best thing that ever happened to them," Puglisi says. Many of the students that fill out a qucstionaire at the end of the course think that it should be re quired before a driver obtains a license. Gordon Wagner, traffic safety instructor, is a dedicated teacher who is on the right path towards saving the lives of motor vehicle to Road training and accident prevention for the Cleveland Transit System.

He was convinced that his driving tecHejique was a good one and wanted a chance to take it to the public. His chance came when the Greater Cleveland Safety Council, with the aid of grants from individuals and foundations, financed the mobile classrooms which are now in operation. Wagner's object is to both reach the high school beginner driver and to reeducate the habitual traffic violator. He works in conjunction with the Municipal Court Judges Association, taking recommended "students" and returning their test scores to the court for final evaluation. In an average month Wagner's method is taught to about 400 people and 96 percent of these are never in traffic court again.
