Nov 11, 1927 Columbus Citizen FREY TALKS AT SAFETY MEET Voices Labors View On Accident Prevention at Closing Session Here Ohio labor was out Friday to practice the preachings of the All-Ohio Safety Congress which closed a two-day session here. Leaders and laborers in the industry over the state joined in a movement at the Congress to prevent accidents. During 1928 efforts will be made to reduce the Ohio Industrial toll by 25 per cent. Frey Is Speaker Before leaving the Congress to return to the office, workshop and bench, representatives were told of their responsibility by John P. FREY, Cincinnati, president of the Ohio Federation of Labor, who spoke on "Labor's Views on Accident Prevention." "The all important thing in connection with safety," FREY said, "is co-operation. To obtain co-operation there must be confidence. To establishe confidence the workers as well as the management must have a word in the making of safety rules." Nelson RUPP, superintendent of Industrial Relations of the White Motor Co., in a statement said, that educational methods among employees are necessary to prevent present-day accidents because mechanical safeguarding alone is a relatively small factor. "Employee," he said, "contribute the circumstances that bring about the accidents, and for that reason education methods should supplement the safety engineering side of all safety programs.

Article from the Nov 11, 1927 COLUMBUS CITIZEN HIGH TITLE AT STAKE IN GAME South and North Clash Today Expected to Decide City Grid Championship South and North Hi School football teams were set for their championship battle at South Field at 2:30 p.m. Friday. Both teams have won all of their league games to date, and have established themselves as the two outstanding teams in the league. Their battle will virtually decide the title, altho each has another game to play after Friday's contest. South meets Central at South on Nov 20 and North takes on East at North Stadium on Thanksgiving Day. Field In Fair Shape While Thursday night's rain forecast a soggy field for the contest, the gridiron was expected to be in fair condition due to its quick draining facilities. With the addition of extra bleachers obtained from the Aquinas Hi Athletic Association, the seating capacity of South Field has been raised to accommodate 5000 fans, and the ticket sale gives indication that this figure will be surpassed easily.

As stated in the first line of the update notice, the site consists of news items and/or resources. Regular publication of newspapers began in 1704 in the United States, therefore it would be near impossible to transcribe all of the newspapers. Our site currently has over 12,000 news items in its database and continues to grow with the daily submission of news items by site visitors. Since we cannot possibly transcribe all newspapers ever published, we have included other newspaper resources for the visitor in the form of links to other sites. If an area only includes links, then no one has submitted news items for that area. There are many links on our site to various societies, newspaper libraries, books containing newspaper transcriptions, and, yes, to ancestry's newspaper collection as they are all relevant to goal of the site which is to be a complete resource for newspaper research. For those without an ancestry subscription, I have also included a link to access their database free of charge for 2 weeks. With over 3,000 counties in the United States alone, and with the constant change of the internet, it takes time to get the information on the site and to keep it current. As we find the information and place the articles or links, we include it in the update email. Since our site consists of only a few dozen volunteers - this is not a site owned by a company - we do our best at adding news items and resources as time allows. As of 12:01 am on Jan. 1, there have been 53 new newspaper transcriptions added to the site, by coordinators and site visitors - two of which are in Ohio and will be noted in the next update. We could always use more volunteers to coordinate a county or state and help provide the visitors with news items and/or resources. If you are interested in helping, see: http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/siteinfo/volunteer.shtml Have a wonderful new year! Barbara

Tried to access the Fairfield, Ohio address given on this list. The url given would not work until I shortened it to read Fairfield as the last word! After that, I got a search at Ancestry which is of course a paid site. Is this the only way to access? If so, it's not much benefit to those who have not paid the subscription price to Ancestry.
