 MRS. JESSE BUSH DIES.

Death Due to Complication of Diseases.

   Death came to Mrs Jesse Bush last Monday, February
   13, 1922 at her late home on
Broadway and Pendleton streets.  She had been a sufferer
more or less for a long period of time.  Her last
illness lasted form about the beginning of December.  At
the time of her death she was aged about 78 years.
   Mrs Bush was born in Licking County, near Newark,
   Ohio and later moved to
Columbus Grove, Ohio, where she has spent the larger
part of her life.  In 1864 she was married to Jesse Bush
who preceded her in death about 20 years ago.
   Two daughters survive.  Mrs Lucy Leasure of Swink,
   Colorado and Mrs. Ella Kissell
of Attica, Ohio.  Mrs Leasure was preparing to come to
Ohio to visit her aged and sick mother when she received
the message of her death.  When she received the sad
news, she was prostrated with grief.  Her health did not
permit her to come for the services.
   The funeral services were held at the home on
   Wednesday afternoon, conducted by
Rev. Garrett of the Christian church and burial took
place at the Turner cemetery.


RURAL LIFE NEEDS TO BE ROUNDED OUT

Commercialized Amusements Not Wanted in Country, Says
Ravenna "Y" Man
   Revolutionary events in rural life have largely
   destroyed community events and play-
time opportunities.  Commercialized amusements offering
little real benefits and much actual harm are rapidly
taking over the rural field, wherever communities are
not adopting a recreation program of their own.
   In Portage County, we have proved that a rural
   neighborhood can easily and
profitably work cut a play schedule that will take in
folks of all ages.  Three of our country communities,
especially, stand as an example of what can be done
along this line.
   Country communities need balanced ration as much as
   does a cow.  They get them just 
as seldom.  There should be a balance between things
educational, social, recreational, and spiritual.  The
only way to insure this is to work out a "feed chart,"
that is a community calendar, in which all events are
scheduled with the right mixture of the four
elements.---B.H. Darrow, Secretary Portage County Y.M.C.


WESTMINISTER GUILD

   The Westminister Guild met last Thursday evening at
   the home of Miss Mary Turner.
During the business hour it was voted to receive the
young men of Mr. Bogart's class into membership.  A good
program was presented at the conclusion of which a
buffet luncheon was served.  The dining room looked
especially pretty with its center piece of crimson
carnation and smylax surrounded by tall crimson candles
in crystal candlesticks. Among the guests was Mrs Ruth
Core Neff of Columbus, O., who gave the girls an
interesting talk about the Guild work in our state
capitol city.
