VETERINARIANS ASSIGNED TO VARIOUS TOWNS OF WYOM- ING COUNTY TO COMPLETE TEST. .. . The campaign to complete the test ing of all herds of cattle in Wyoming county was started Monday morning, November 15th. Veterinarians were placed in all of each of the five town ships which still remain untested and it is expected that the testing will be completed in about three weeks. Dr. B. J. Cady, supervising Veter inarian from Belmont, is in charge of the campaign. Veterinarians have been assigned to y the various town ships as follows: Dr. Taylor, County Veterinarian Warsaw township. Dr. Ash, Federal Veterinarian from Biiyghampton, Gainesville town ship • Dr. Wadsworth, Federal Veter inarian from Utica, Java township. , Dr. Williaans, State Veterinarian from Middleport, 'Orangeville town ship. Dr's. Donahue, Evans of Utica and Dr's. Sierk and Sturrock of Attica, Bennington township. It is expected that this testing will complete all of the herds of Wyoming County with the exception of a few scattered objectors, whose herds will be tested just as soon as these ob jectors make request for the testing. The headquarters for this drive are at the Farm Bureau Office. Any special information or requests for assistance should be made there. The engineers an d surveyors who •have been running a line from Broc- ton to Portage, passing about a mile north of Arcade Village, having com pleted the survey, an d even by run ning a tunnel ninety feet deep in places' between Arcade and Bliss, for a distance of nearly six miles, were unable to obtain an entirely satisfactory grade. This route would shorten the distance from Cleveland to New York? some forty tmiles. A line was also surveyed from Arcade to Centerville over the old B. & ,S. route, but this also was found to give a stiffer grade than is desired. ' We are informed that another route is to be surveyed farther south | in the hopes of obtaining a more ac ceptable grade. COMMUNITY CHEST DRIVE ARCADE WILL RAISE FUNDS ON DECEMBER 5th..

It will be recalled that a similar drive was put on a year ago and at that time several hundred dollars were raised. This fund was to be used in meeting charitable cases and worthy objects that might, from' time to time, during the year arise and was to do away with the necessity of passing seperate papers -to meet these needs. This plan has been admirably ear ned iout and several very worthy causes served, among them the Red Cross, the Boy Scouts, the County Hospital, as well as individual cases that have been assisted . The coming year will require - much larger amount than was'sub scribed last year, as additional needs are arising, such as, the boys recrea Baptist Church last Sunday, after ««n rooms that are now beta* to- serving th e Church there fo r fourteen ^Ued, but that have not been paid years.
