PAGE TWO A 1 I A 1 JfUESDAT, OCTOBER 8, 1931 Vandals Busy In Cemetery Special To Tht Osford, 0., Oct. of the most outrageous pieces of vandalism ever perpetrated in this community was discovered yesterday in the Oxford cemetery. Unknown persons vieiieii the cemetery within the last day or two -the "exact time is not known--and knocked or pushed over eeven monuments, practically ruining some of them. The damage was all done in the southwest section of the cemetery-in the vicinity of the soldiers' lot owned by the G. A.

R. The monuments dsmased bear the following names: Kuinler, Hardy, Andrews, Jones and Lytle. On the Jones lot two monuments were razed. Alo a grave marker was upset, and one monument is down, the- 'name upon which cannot be read. Ono the damaged monuments surmounted by a globe or urn.

This was knocked off when the monument fell. Evidently when the vandal discovered that this top- jiiece was not broken, he carried it a distance of about twenty feet and crashed it down upon a stone. Cemeterv Custodian Fred Tcetzel, -while ho has no idea as to the iiiv of the vandcls, believes that the damage- was done in the daytime. Lie recalls having made a survey of thai particular section the cemetery on the morning of the day the discovery was made, and noticed no stones down. Later that day the damage was discovered.

The work appears to have hce-a lhat of ono man, as only those monuments which could have been dislocated from their positions Dion wcro tam'iered with. Sonic oC tbe stones were fastened to their hases with lead, others with cement. A sudden forceful jar would dislocate any of these, stones. Some of the monuments, in falling, were badly chipped. The board of cemetery trustees met last evening to consider methods of repairing tho damage and instituting an investigation.

However, the ntter lack of any clue makes extremely doubtful, the result of any investigation which might bo made.

UP) Statistics made pnblic by the U. S. forest damage amonnt- JSupoflTvas done by fires that sw-ept over 22,070 acres of Ohio woodlands in 193Q. This damage, it was said, was not considered excessive in view of the drought and the fact that fire patrol protection could be provided for less than-one-half the 2,810,000 acres of Ohio forest area. Forest fires in tho report said, "swept over more than 52,000,000 acres in the Uuilcd States, an area greater than the statcc of Ohio and Indiana combined.

Damages amounted to $65,968,350." The effectiveness of the government's protective measures is held to be demonstrated by the fnct that for every area of protected land burned over, approximately eight acres of unprotected land were swept by fire, although only one- third the country's forest lands are now without some form of fire protection.
