Leading Fight Against Bigelow Amendment Columbus, Ohio, June 28—Only immediate and concerted action by business, industrial and agricultural groups will keep Ohio's treasury in sound condition, residents of the state were warned today m a brochure entitled "Bankruptcy Faces Ohio" issued by the Ohio Chamber of Commerce in its campaign against the Bigelow plan. "A pension scheme such ■>as proposed by the Bigelow amendments has drained the coffers of the state of Colorado," George B. Chandler, secretary of the Ohio Chamber of Commerce said. "It is evident that not only would present taxes have to be tripled to pay the pensions, but curtailment of expenditures of many functions of state government would result,"' Mr. Chandler said. "Mr. Bigelow claims the pensions would cost the state only $10,000,000 annually but the Research Department of the Ohio Chamber estimates that the initial -.o-st. would be more than three times that amount and by 1960 would exceed $560,000,000 annually." Payment of these pensions if provided ft r in the Constitution, according to Mr. Chandler, would take precedence over all other expenditures from the treasury such as school funds, salaries and operating co'jt.5 of various departments. "Colorado's depleted treasury," Mr. Chant ler concluded, "presents an example of what happens when a pension plan such as proposed by Mr. Bigelow is made a part of the state constitution." o Eagles to Hold All Day Outing Members and Families To Picnic at Lodge Home July 4 Besides providing an all day outing on July 4 for members and their families, the North Canton Eagles have the safety of the younger generation in mind through the way in which their program is planned. There will be no danger from burns or premature explosions of firecrackers in the hands of youngsters for a full program of sporting events for young and old will be conducted during the day. The lodge will furnish ice cream, coffee and lemonade to all tlie picnickers. In the evening from 9:30 to 10 p. m. an elaborate fireworks display will be provided. The firing of the various aerial bombs and sets will be handled by men from the manufacturing company. The program, as it is set up, will be such to keep everyone busy during the day and thus lessen chances of any mishaps occuring from the use of fireworks by those present. Annual educational water show put on by members of the North Canton swimming team and other swimmers under the direction of Physical Director Willis H. Wood assisted by Dorothy McClelland will be Friday evening at 7:30 p. m. at the pool on Hower street. . The main object of the show is to acquaint the parents and public at large with the methods employed in teaching children to swim. Under supervised instruction many of the youngsters have shown remarkable progress in this respect and all will have a chance to display their ability in this sport. Large crowds have witnessed these shows in the past but had difficulty in hearing as instructions and explanations were given. This year, if plans materialize, a public address system will be used, in order that everyone present can understand what is said. Beginning swimmers will have the first opportunity to show how their work goes as a step by step explanation of their instruction will be given. Four or five of the more advanced swimmers in this class are to give an exhibition of what they have accomplished. Dorothy McClelland, who is assisting in instruction, -this summer, will be in charge of this event. Comedy Ac^s Also? Tht swimming team will be introduced and in turn will demonstrate the various strokes such as backstroke, breaststroke, side, crawl, etc. Of course, no water show would be complete without comedy of some sort or other and this will be handled by the Boeshart brothers, Ray Sheehan and Bob McCne. Sheehan and Harold Boeshart are to engage in a swimming race which promises plenty of action and later these same boys will participate in the fancy and com- ediy diving act along with Dick Evans Howard Boeshart and others. One of the features will be the Monte Cristo act in which one of the swimmers will be tied in a weighted sack and sunk to the bottom of the pool and then make his escape. Advanced swimmers will also give a demonstration of the various water sports under Wood and McClelland while Myrtle Dentpn will be" in charge of the figure swimming act put on by girl swimmers. They will form revolving wheels and other intricate designs. A novelty act called "Strange Faces" will provide much entertain ment also. This is in charge of Marion Nodle. Mr. Wood estimates the entire show will provide an hour and a quarter of educational and entertaining acts.
