Kennedy (Continued From Page 1) As for Nixon, he said the vice president still "had responsibility as a leader of his party. The two men, Kennedy said, touched on their presidential campaigns in a sort of a technical sense. "I asked him how he took Ohio," the ttnator said with a chuckle. No, he said, Nixon did not give him a direct answer. He must be keeping it a secret to use in 1964, the president elect said.

But he added later that there wasn't any discussion of whether he and the vice president might be opponents again in four years. It was their first meeting since their fourth and final television-radio debate late in the campaign. wun spectators surentr al Hosford's Mill, which stood southwest of Galion on Hosford built in 1822 by Asa Hosford, a founder of Galion and Gallon's first postmaster, is the picture on the society Christmas greeting. IT WAS reprinted from an old postal card. Historians here re late that the old mill was torn down in 1917 or 1919, and some of the walnut timbers from it are in the red barn near the old.

Hos ford house that still is a landmark in this area. The Historical Society marks this card as "Galion Historical Society. Series No. 1." A Christ mas message is written inside the folder. A pen and ink sketch of the birthplace of Warren G.

Harding, 29th president of the United States and former editor of The Marion Star, appears on the front of the notepaper. The sketch was drawn by Mrs. Mary Ruth Smith of Mansfield from a large picture. THE LITTLE old house where Mr. Harding was born, Nov.

He told officers he blacked out momentarily. Damage to the car was slight Traffic Cases -Juvenile Court-Five persons appeared in Juven ile Court Thursday, charged with violating traffic laws.

Each was fined $10 and costs. Illness (Continued From Page 1) o'clock Sunday night, the spokes man said, and it was "so awful that it alarmed everyone includ ing her doctors. Weeping and clutching her head, Miss Taylor was carried from her hotel on a stretcher and rushed to the hospital in an am bulance. The spokesman said her person al physician, Dr. Carol "Goldman and one of Queen Elizabeth II's doctors, Lord Evans, were "worried and puzzled." Neither would immediately answer reporters' questions.

Both were extremely cautious for good reasons. For weeks the actress had been reported sintering irom a mystery virus that brought on high temperatures in the afternoon. Unable to diagnose the cause of the fever at her penthouse apart ment in a London hotel, the doctors ordered her into the London Clinic on Oct. 30. They made several tests on her and she was allowed to leave the clinic three days after being admitted.

The fever still persisted, however. Last week she complained of a severe tooth ache. X-rays were taken and an abscessed tooth discovered. A dentist pulled it and her fever went down. Jubilantly, Miss Taylor's fourth husband Eddie Fisher told reporters that at last the cause of her lengthy illness seemed to be solved.

Miss Taylor's studio, 20th Century-Fox, shared Fisher's joy. The studio is far behind schedule on the epic "Cleopatra" in which the actress plays the vamp of the Nile for a million dollars and a percentage of profits. CAB CO.

Gene Poling, chairman. Mrs. Burt Stocker has served as a community volunteer. It is hoped that the first class can be made available to the public early in December. The course offered to community members will include 12 class hours.

Any adult member of the family may attend. Both parents are encouraged to enroll for the classes which are offered free. Those who are interested in the program may call the Red Cross Chapter House to enroll. City Tax (Continued From Page 1) The mayor said another im portant need is the Improvement of the storm sewers. He sajd.be has numeous complaints every day concerning storm sewer problems.

'I think storm sewers are our number one problem today, but we're only scratching the surface in our maintenance and repair program," he said. The proposed allocation of 800 of the tax to storm sewers for the next two years is just $3,000 a year more than the $67,500 allocated for this purpose this year. The tax rate now is six-tenths of one per cent. A $4,000 increase in the capital improvements fund also is con tained in the allocations for the next two years. The amount allocated to this fund this year was $36,000.

The proposed amount for parks and recreation, $31,500 a year, represents no change. Both the $29,000 allocation for planning, building, inspection 'and recodification and the $50,000 for the fire department are new allo cations in the proposed tax for next year. The $88,500 earmarked for the general fund during 1961 and 1962 is $1,500 less than the $90,000 allocated this year. Mayor Dune said he feels the proposed increase is justified by the city's needs. He noted that because of a shortage of funds this year, it was necessary to lay off five men in the service department in mid-summer "the busiest period of the year for the department." THE MAYOR said he is concerned about the tax because op position to any increase in the rate has developed.

Some of the opposition was ap parent at the Thursday night meeting of council on the issue, he said. The mayor said he feels the opposition is arising from a minority of city residents. He said he believes majority of Marionites favor the continued progress of the city and asked that those who favor it urge their councilmen to approve the tax increase. Smuggling (Continued From Page 1) Chen began selling the objects to American, dealers, particularly the Loo galleries and Charles L. Doue, a Berkeley, dealer.
