Chestnut street, received a cable
gram on November 7, from their
son, S/Sgt. Donald M. Staley, sent

know that he was sailing for home
- and what grand news that was.
The staff sergeant, who has been

many. The brothers had not seen
each other in three years, nor had
they gotten together at the time they
both wrote their parents. However,
we venture to say that by now, the
two boys have had a real reunion
Sgt, Guy L. Slayman will soon
have completed his fourth year in
the Service and expects to be home
this month. The story of Pfc. George
Slayman, however, is different. He is
attached to Military Government
headquarters and may not be home
for some time He has, though, one
consolation George has always
wanted to drive a jeep and that is
exactly what he is doing right now.
Since he won't be home for awhile,
no doubt many of his friends will
want to send him Christmas card,
so here is his address: Pfc. George

stationed. He hopes to be home again
soon, at least by Christmas.

INCOR BASEBALL TEAM
WINS TWO OVER WEEK END

Incor Hotel baseball team won
two games over the weekend, de-
feating the Ohio Reformatory at
Mansfield, 8 to z in 10 innings on
Saturday and winning from the
Schlairet Transfer team in Marion,
6 to 1, on Sunday
In playing the Mansfield team
the Magnetic boys were at consi-
derable disadvantage because the
outfield was tar-bound. This
caused at least three errors which
otherwise would probably not
have been made. However, Gibson
raped out a home run in the 10th
inning with one player on base, to
win the game.
The Incor team got nine nits to
six for the Mansfielders. Other
heavy hiters for Magnetic were
Brown, Weaver and Gibson, who
got two each. Batteries for Mag
netic were Herriott and Stillings
in the 7th, pitchers, and Brown
catcher.
At Marion, Sunday, the Resort
ers raped out seven hits and com
mitted only three errors, while the
Schlairet team got three hits anc
made six errors. Coder was lead
ing hitter for the Incor team, get
ting three safeties in five times
at bat. Stillings and Brown were
batteries for Magnetic, with Cul
yer and Anderson for Schlairet.
Next home game for the Incol
team will be Sunday, when the!
will play double header with thu
Cardington Independents. The frs
game will begin at 1870 pm.

state the agencies. The competi-
ton for jobs will be very keen and
the boy or girl without a complete
high school education will have
fenced himself or herself in. Lack
of a high school education will
build fence around your life", SO
state these agencies.
School patrons and parents
should realize how seriously the
schools have been hurt during the
war period. The recovery will be
slow. Well informed educational
leaders believe a serious teacher
shortage will exist in the elemen-
tary schools for several years. High
school teachers and supervisory
positions may receive some relief
next year from returning veterans
and former teachers who have lost
war plant positions.
The patriotic services given by
former teachers during the war
period has been the only way the
schools could remain open. Pa
tience and cooperation of parents
and patrons will greatly aid the
schools as they begin the long trek
to normal operation again.

M. H. S. GRIDDERS
GET FIRST PLAYS AT
TODAY'S PRACTICE
Work Only on Fundamentals
All Last Week; Results
"Please" Coach Ehlen So Far

After a week of drilling on moth
ing but fundamentals of the game,
Marysville high school footballerS
were expecting to get their first
plays at tonights rehearsal.
Then, Coach Jack Ehlen de-
clares, he can begin having a bet,
ter idea as to what his 1945 foot
ball team will be like. So far, En-
len says, he is well pleased with
the Monarchs, feeling it will be a
better squad on the whole than
last years.
"At least, they look better in
their fundamentals" Ehlen said to-
day. THE blocking and tackling
drills have had a lot of zip and
the boys are all working hard and
trying hard"
Still Starting Slow
Principal weakness Ehlen has
found is the same one which was
the bug-a-boo of last years team
SlownesS in starting to charge, both
from offensive and defensive posi-
tionS. The mentor has been trying
every way he can think of to in
still more speed in his squad, and
is meeting with some success, but
they still are not up to standard.
One of the real bright spots ir
the picture is the backfield. All
four of the boys who will probably
form the starting backfield can
pass creditably, and three of the
four are good punters. 1--WE won't t
have much trobule with passing
and kicking" Ehlen declares.
The squad is going to be very
light in comparison with average
high school football teams. Heav-
lest boy on the squad weighs 100
pounds, but is only a freshman
and therefore will lack the exper-
ienece necessary to play much
this season. Few, if any of the
starting lineup will weight much
over 155 or 160.
Has Much Experience
To offset this disadvantage, the
team will have considerable exper.
fence. There are IL lettermen back
from last year, with one for every
position except tackles, and Ehlen

that, at their last meeting, the ma
iority of members of the Business
Mems group were not in favor of
