 It was hoped that the returns for some of the seals not yet heard from will raise the necessary amount.
 In spite of the -fulfillment of the quota, about $60 more has been received than on this same date last year. There has been a more gen. eral response evidenced by the fact that the donations of 380 persons amounted to $40, o. about 36 cents each.
 About 100 persons annually take $5 Christmas seals but a greater number of persons have written in, or called for seals, than in most other years of the campaign, it was noted.

GAINESVILLE COMPLIMENTS
M. & M. TEAM

The following is taken from the
Barnesville Enterprise: School Of
ficials were given an unusual sur
prise following the McConnelsville
game here recently, when they went
to the visiting teams dressing room
and found it as spick and span as a
room after house cleaning. Before
leaving the school building, the Wis
iting players cleaned up the dress
ing room as clean and orderly as
they found it. George Bowen, Gus
todian Of the building said that he
never experienced anything like this
before The McConnelsville players
also proved to be fine sports. Al
though defeated in close game in
which the officiating was disap-
pointment to players and fans gen
orally, they took their defeat with
out sign of grumbling.
OF all the teams visiting here this
season, McCannelsville undoubtedly
would be voted the "good sports
manship" cup by local school Off
cials and players.

MEETING WE'LL ATTENDED,

A large number of people gather.
ed in the Maccabee hall on Sunday
afternoon to hear State Senator
John F. Myers and William H. Hud-
son, of Canton, on Business Re-
covery, the American Way"
Senator Myers spoke chiefly on
the affairs of the present state SEN
ate and its efforts to relieve the
tense situation induced by the pro-
longed business depression. He
contended that not enough atten-
ton is given to legislation for the
masses, but is for the individuals
and groups.
Mr.. Hudson, who was here last
spring for a number of days speak
ing in the interests of old age PEN
sions, was of outstanding import
ance. He most forcibly attacked
the forces who, blind to the intec-
ests of all, will endeavor to seek
the things that concern them and
them only. He said "you cannot
save for old age security: there is
not and cannot be enough invest
ments for it," and "that is one good
reason why old age pensions have
to be used instead of individual
thrift
The meeting was held under the
auspices of the General Recovery
Committee of McConnelsville.- Xxx.
