Closing their home season with
a rapid-fire win Saturday night
over the rangy Cambridge out
fit 52-42, the Newark Wildcats
play their final league game
when they meet Coshocton at
Coshocton this Thursday night,
Feb. 26. Prior to Wednesday
night Newark and Dover were
deadlocked for the Conference
title.
AS this article is written Dow
er must lose to GAINESVILLE and
Newark must win from Coshoc-
ton if the Wildcats are to cop
the league title. The odds are
about even that the two teams
will each win their remaining
games, leaving Dover and New
ark sharing honors for the Con-
ference title.
Notwithstanding the two pre-
vious losses, the Wildcats have
had great season, winning II
victories to date out of 10 starts

'Sager Resigns Faculty;
Board to Buy Coal

Members of the board of edu-
cation were asked to accept an
other resignation from the fac
ulty of the senior high school
Tuesday night when P. H. Sager,
for Is years an instructor in
business training, asked to be
released. Upon recommendation
of Superintendent Paul B. Ed
wards the resignation was ac-
cepted. Mr.. Sager has a posi-
ton with the government in a
factory in Detroit, Mich.
Upon recommendation of Supt.
Edwards Miss Ruth Laymen, one
of three individuals recently cer-
titled by the Newark civil SER
vice commission, was awarded
the position of clerk at Woodrow
Wilson school.
Following a discussion regard
ing purchase of coal for 1942-43
period it was decided by the
board to advertise for bids to be
opened April l. 1t was pointed
out that at least 700 tons of coal
could be purchased in April at
a saving of approximately so
cents per ton, over what would
have to be paid later. The price
is regulated by the Guffy price
control law.
Because of danger of combus-
ton stoker coal cannot be pur-
chased until after next Septem-

Spalding was born in Chicago
of well-to-do parents. He in
herited much of his musical
genius from his mother, who was
for a long time a soloist with
the Chicago Symphony orchestra
under Theodore Thomas. At
seven he began playing the vio-
lin, and later his principal teach
ers were Chit, the famous Flor.
entine master, Buitrago in New
York, and Lefort in Paris.
When he graduated from the
Bologna Conservatory of Music
at fourteen he received the high
est honors ever accorded anyone
since Mozart, and made his pro-.
fessional debut in Paris with
Adelina Patti at the Chatelet.
His American debut was made
at Carnegie Hall, New York, as
soloist with the New York Sym
phony orchestra, Walter DAM
rosch, conductor; with which or
ganization he appeared after
WdTUS over lOTCy ClIIlcS. OlIlCc
then, he has appeared with great
success in practically every civ
ilized country where music plays
an important part in the nation
al life.
Spalding is today one of the
most popular Of the world-fam-
Gus violinists and plays every
season from sixty to ninety con-
certs in the United States, be-
sides an average of about fifty
concerts a season in Europe.
While still a comparatively
young man, he has made an en-
viable reputation for himself as
a composer. He has to his cred
it over sixty violin compositions,
twenty-five piano numbers,
thirty songs, four chamber mu-
sic quartets, four orchestral COM
positions and endless transcript
tions and arrangements.

War Heroes

Line Coach Fritz Mackey
in a recent talk in Newark,
stressed the Importance of
football and basketball as a
morale builder for such
emergencies as that Of the
present time.
He was 100 per cent
right.
No nation has a game
/that requires more atten-
tion from coaches, players,
and spectators, than Amer
lean football and basketball.
Players practice a self
discipline that is unbeliev-
able. They subject them
selves to physical torture
preparing themselves for
contests which even the
hard-boiled Nazis and Japs
could never understand.
These players carry a
dash and spirit into con-
tests that has made them
the most thrilling spectac-
les since the days of gladi-
atorial combats in Roman
arenas. Along with their
physical prowress they
must develop a delicate
mental accuracy that is ap-
paling to the persons who
have never played the
games.
During the world war ap-
plicants for officers train
ing schools were asked if
they had played varsity
football or basketball. If
they came within the age
limits and the answer was
eyes" they were admitted to
the schools without further
ado. The war department
knew that if successful in
making a team, they had
the fundamental require
ments to become officers of
the army.
That same idea generally
holds true today.
The gridiron heroes of to-
day will likely be the war
heroes of tomorrow.

LongHours
Cut Efficiency
Afford Plant

According to an article in a
recent issue of the Detroit
Times, because of a lach OF alum
mum and drop in the efficiency
of the workers, the Ford Motor
Company Saturday cut down the
number of hours worked weekly
by it's employees in the aircraft
engine plant and the tool and die
plant.
Hereafter, beginning Sunday,
the aircraft engine plant will not
work Sundays. The employees in
the plant will work six 10-hour
days instead of seven 10-hour
days.
The plant is engaged in the
production of Pratt & Whitney
plane motors.
The drop in efficiency was at
tributed to workers in the tool
and die plant, engaged in the
manufacture of vital tools and
dies for the new Ford bomber
plant at Willow Run.
"The company stated that
where it used to take 500 man.
hours to produce a unit of work
it now is taking 700 man-hours,"
Major Strong said.
ut is hoped by the company
that by reducing the work hours
efficiency can be regained.
"The reduct ION is expert
mental and may be temporary"
Tool and die makers will not
work this Sunday nor any Sun
day as long as the reduction is
in effect. They will work eight
hours Saturday instead of the
present 10 hours.
Since they have been working
seven days a week, 10 hours a
day, the reduction amounts to IL
hours per week per man, drop
from 70 hours per week to So
hours.
Seventy hours of work a week
were considered to be having a
bad effect on the men," Major
Strong said. "This will give
them one day off week and an
opportunity to get some rest"
Since the men are earning
me-and-one-half for Saturday
work and double time for Sunday
work, the reduction in hours
means a severe drop in earnings.
Airplane engine workers will lose
20 hours pay per week double
time for 10 hours of Sunday
work. and the tool and die work
ers will lose % hours pay per
week double time for 10 hours
on Sunday and me-and-one half
for two hours on Saturday,
