Southwest two competing ideologies. Will the economy improve by the government spending, or not spending? Brown held a conference call with reporters Friday chastising Republicans for blocking continued benefits. 1 le did not answer a question, about how long Congress could financially continue to extend benefits, saying that leaving the unemployed out to dry will create an even bigger deficit problem. The constituent concern pouring into his office is "heartbreaking," Brown said. "Most senators don't even know people who have lost their jobs, their health care or their homes.

"If they don't get unemployment, they're more likely to lose their health care and their home," Brown said. "Our opponents think unemployment is welfare, and it's not You pay into it when you're working, and you get help when you're not" Rob Nichols, spokesman for GOP gubernatorial candidate John Kasich, said the best way to solve the debate of unemployment benefits versus debt concerns is to create jobs He said until Ohio can provide jobs for all those who want to work, residents will be at the mercy of congressional action, or inaction. It's unlikely that state government will be able to help the situation. Amanda Wurst, spokeswoman for Gov. Ted Strickland said unemployment is a federal issue and the state cannot provide benefits.

However, when people do lose benefits, the state Department of Job and Family Services reaches out to them to make sure they know what services are out there, Wurst said. Betty J.

POLITICAL FOOTBALL In Congress, unemployment benefits have become a political football between Howard From page 1A lavish parties and dances.

His wife, Sarah Howard, entertained up to 150 people at a time from Galion and surrounding areas at least once, as the story goes, serving an eight-course dinner on the third floor where her guests could listen to a live orchestra. The Galion landmark boasts beveled glass doors, a carved stairway rising two stories to a circular second-floor balustrade, a Cherry library with heated cushioned seats, inlaid oak foyers, leaded-glass windows, a sycamore dining room with a built-in china cabinet and a parlor with gold-plated chandelier and sconces. The third-floor ballroom features the orchestra pit, a stained-glass skylight and seven fireplaces. A complete laundry chute system goes from the third floor to the basement, as does a dumb waiter, which is said to have once doubled as a private elevator for the Howard children. The kitchen still has the original stove and an icebox built into the wall where the ice truck once made deliveries.

One of the radiators has a rare boxed food-warmer tucked into it The house sold with the original dining room table, the Howard family Bible and the blueprints detailing Adam Howard's construction plans.

Associated Press Fulton himself, with some work done two years ago when he was 79. Fulton devised his own tracing paper and cardboard stencil method for precise accuracy. His flair for art can be seen in each room, where the raised, decorative designs on all the radiators were highlighted by hand. Fulton imported carpets from England, but also worked with an oriental carpet maker from India. The company's representatives came to the mansion, made note of the colors in the skylight, and returned to India to weave a custom carpet that took nearly ten months to complete.

"He came and worked on the house all the time," Glass-er said of his father-in-law. "After he got sick, we talked about selling it, but I don't think he could have sold it while he was alive. This was his love. His passion." MEMORIES FOR MANY The Howard House holds more than a chapter in Galion's history. It has a place in the memories of many people in the region.

Jim and Florence Cle-land, residents of Bucyrus, had their daughter's wedding reception in the ballroom June 21, 1980. "It was an amazing atmosphere," Jim Cleland said. "There was a champagne fountain, such a huge space, and I had my first dance with the bride right there in that room." The couple married at Howard House that day is still together, having just celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary. Jim Cleland has one final nugget about the place: "As I recall, my father even delivered newspapers to the house back in 1903," he said. Karen Kline, who lives in Galion, said she grew up daydreaming about the house.

"I used to walk past it and pretend a king and queen lived inside. That's just how it looked to me. It was simply breathtaking."
