Wildwood Rail Crossing Study Seeks Safer Route
City commissioners reviewed options for the dangerous Wildwood crossing near the subdivision. Engineer Pochel estimated 4 500 cubic feet of fill needed to raise the east approach at about 5 000 dollars, while an underpass at roughly 350 000 dollars was dismissed as benefiting few. Safety Council head Wilson said New York Central tentatively would install two signals but likely not at Wildwood, deeming it a private crossing. Council president Reinartz vowed to verify ownership and push for improvement as over 100 families rely on the steep, narrow grade crossing.

Youngest Ohio Senator Hopeful George Bender in 22s
George Bender, age 22, touted as the youngest ever in Ohio politics, rose from 10 years in the Ohio Senate to House entry in 1938. He heads an insurance firm, chairs the Cuyahoga County GOP, and publishes the National Republican with a claimed 139000 paid circulation. He polled 1,281,000 votes statewide in his last bid, outpacing Bricker and Gov. Thomas Herbert, and twice beat Taft in Ohio Republican tallies. Friends say he carries a Taft four leaf clover, predicting a Taft nomination could put Bender in the Senate.
