BISHOPS STORE
BEING IMPROVED

Though it's mid-winter on the
calendar, springtime has arrived
in one of Marysville's business
houses. Bishops Department Store
has joined the many other mer-
chants who have redecoratcd and
expanded their stores.
Mrs. Bishop conceived the idea
for her latest decorative motif by
the arrival some weeks ago, of
Junior Miss, truC-to-life man
nikin from New York. 1t is the
newest in fashion models, Mrs.
Bishop said, and the real blonde
curls give her a personality all
her own. 1t is believed to be the
only mannikin of this type in IN
ion county.
She stands in the first arch with
spotlight on her and she will be
seen clearly from the street as
well as all over the store. As a
background, against the wall, the
Bishops are planning to add white
trelis and floral sprays which will
be changed from season to season.
The walls are painted blue, whiel
the four arches are pink. The pas
toI color scheme is carried out
throughout the store in shelves and
tables.
Other fashion displays have been
arranged in the second and third
arches, above the dress racks. In
direct lighting played on these dsi-
plays add much to their appeal.
Mrs. Bishop has arranged placques
wall at the right of the store.
Mrs. Bishop points out that her
mannikin often will be shown wear
ing outfits familiar to readers of
fashion magazines. Some cool girl
costumes will also be modelled by
the Bishop mannikin.
The Bishops have planned to re-
finish the floor and remodel the
rear of the store into a fitting
room and an office.

Ever since Tony opened the

MONARCHS DOWN
REDWOOD, TAKE
MID-STATE TITLE
Final Score, 81 to 81,
About Tells The Story;
Tiger Reserves Win

Marysvillc high school won the
Mid-Statc League basketball
championship, Tuesday night, when
they defeated Redwood high, 62
to 81, on the local gym floor The
MonarchS ended their League sea-
son with a record of five victories
and one defeat.
In the preliminary game, the
Marysville Reserves were defeated
by Redwood, Is to q.
Both teams started off slowly in
the Varsity game, and the score
was only Sail at the end of the
first quarter.
From that point on, however,
the MonarchS operated in high
gear and Redwood was complete
ly out-lasSed the rest of the eve
ming. BY the end of the first half,
the Marysville advantage was 19
to Z, and the third quarter margin
was SO to 19.
26 Points In Last Period
Final quarter was the Monarchs'
best, despite the fact that it was
the second team playing much of
the time. In this stanZa, the To-
Gals checked up 70 points to 13 for
the visitors.
Frank Diehl had one of his best
evenings Of the entire season as
he hit the nets for nine fielderS and
two foul toSSeS for a total of 20
points. For FLEETWOOD the very
capable Nick Wall was top scorer,
collecting Ia points.
Although Diehrs shooting and
general ball handling was a JOY to
watch, principal feature of the Ma
rysVille attack was the teamwork
which was manifest throughout the
game. 1t was one of the MonarchS'
best all season, from every stand
point.
Everything Clicked"
They handled the ball expertIy,
passed accurately and at the right
time, controlled the rebounds from
both bank-boards and operated
like a well-oiled machine in rush
ing the ball down the floor on
quick breaks. 1t would have taken
mighty good ball team to have
beaten the Monarchs Tuesday
night.
Redwood, although out of the
picture from the start of the sec
ond period, exhibited some good
basketball nevertheless. The Tig-
erS are fast and handle the ball
well, as many of their opponents
have found to their sorrow during
. the season. Several of the Rich
WOOditeS are excellent shots, and
it was only fine defensive play by
the Monarchs which kept them
from adding more points.
! Second League Title
The game gave the MonarChs
their second Mid-Statc League
championship in the Leagues first
season of operation. They won all
three Loop football contests last
. fall TO annex the trophy in this
sport, too.
J In the preliminary game, Ma
rysville Reserves were out-cIaSSed
by the tall, well-coached Redwood
B" team, and were never quite
able to close the gap whcih the
visitors maintained.
AT the end of the first quarter,
Redwood held lead of 10 to 6,
and were in front IA to II at half
time. The third period margin was
p to II for Redwood.
