Members of the Ada Tree Commission, with the help of eight Sigma Phi Epsilon members, trimmed trees in town on last Saturday afternoon.
Most of the commission members have completed a course sponsored by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, which included instruction in trimming and pruning trees.
Trees in the Industrial Park, Depot Park, and the right-of-way of streets were made safer, healthier, and more beautiful due to the efforts of the volunteers.

STORY FROM THE ONU WEBSITE - Four ONU graduating seniors can finally share the best-kept secret on campus. Just who is it under that mask?

With all of the work going on outside, it appears that spring has hit with a vengeance--finally. We can add to the list of projects roof repairs at Our Lady of Lourdes.
To see exactly where the roof work takes place look at the photo below. (Ken Collins photo)

December, 1960, the revision of Ada ordination for maintenance of “peace and good order," brought to light some old laws that may surprise the younger generation - and that could still prove costly to offenders.
• One provided a $1 fine for anyone over 14 years old who uses profanely the name of God, Jesus Christ, or the Holy Ghost. Complaints of such an offense must be made within 10 days, and each offense is punishable by a $1 fine.
