of of Some Prefer Glory 0001 0001 The Suburban Story by Roger Swardson Southwest Ohioans To Meet Industry Lurers Officials of 17 Southwestern Ohio counties and municipalities have been invited to attend meeting at the Dayton Biltmore Hotel Thursday for an introduction to the new Ohio Department of Industrial and Economic Development. Every community in Ohio will be asked to fill out a 700-question survey, to be filed with the department, on its economic resources and advantages in luring new industry. The file will be used as a reference for industry to select sites for development and for long-range state projects. It's a move to assist industry in development in Ohio, and thereby to help out the communities as well. So far, it would appear that industry, at least in Hamilton County, has had few problems in picking out a choice lot for development.

The problem has been how to talk residents into letting them build there. However, when a community sets out positively through zoning and planning, it doesn't seem to be long before industry takes notice and takes advantage. Fairfax is an example.

Little Eileen Goes For Moon Mom Rescues Her From TV TowerGirl Repents NORTHFIELD, N. Feb. 14 (P) Two-year-old Eileen Bengal tried to reach the Moon. She didn't make it, but her mother never will forget the attempt. Leaving her playthings with two older sisters, the little astronaut quietly left "her house yesterday and began scaling a 50-foot television tower.

Petrified with fear, Mrs. Stella Bengal climbed up after the child and held her tight until police arrived to help both down. Mrs. Bengal took a tranquilizer and collapsed on the nearest couch.

She's more or less used to Eileen's antics by now. Since Christmas, the cute little tyke has managed to do the following: She got her hands on black shoe polish and decided there should be murals on the walls. She hid her mother's contact lenses. She sprayed her throat with turpentine. Eileen did promise, however, to postpone all outer space adventures for a while.

"I will never go to the Moon again," she promised her mother angelically. "Not till I get big." Deaths Elsewhere Elden D. Bayley, 73, William Bayley Co. director, in Springfield, Ohio. Delmar G.
