RED CROSSPROVIDED ONLYFOOD UNION
COUNTY SOLDIER HAD ON l5-DAY MARCH

Captured by German forces al
Nurnburg, Germany, April 18, 1914
Sgt. William Maugans, of near
Magnetic Springs, was forced by
his captors to march for Is days
with only Red Cross rations fol
SuStenance.
When interviewed by local mem
berS of the 1916 Red Cross, Maui
ganS, formerly a cannon company
sergeant with the 99th Division
stated that he and his comrades in
the forced march received no food
or clothing from the German
troops that captured them. The
only provisions they received were
one box of Red Cross rations every
three days, which was divided a.
mong four soldiers.
Maugans, only recently released
from Brown Memorial hospital in
Dayton, expressed his appreciation
of the splendid work of the Inter
national Red Cross. The fact that
they were able to supply captive
troops with the rationS undoubt'
edly save many American lives.
Red Cross work has not stopped
with the end of the war. The job
that must be done grows larger
instead of smaller. 1t is the world
in which we live that has grown
smaller and those people who once
lived in distant lands are now our
next door neighbors. The neighbOrs
in many cases are starving and this
must not be permitted whether
they actually live next door or
many miles away.
In addition tile Red Cross brings
warmth and friendship to our sold
ierS abroad. 1t stands willing and
ready to help with their problems,
In this country it also aids our
needy soldiers, and stands as our
greatest bulwark against disaster,
such as is occasioned by severe
storms, foloods, etc. No other
single organization is so completely
worthy of your support.

Fleekls tavern IN New Dover with
two men, two women and boy
When he was about two-thirdS I
the way through the one-lane
bridge, Mr.. Davis said, car con-
tanning six colored men started
through from the east end,
Instead of backing out of the
bridge to let Mr.. Davis on through,
the colored men started an attack
on the taxi operator and his pass
engers, it was alleged. One of the
passengers was slapped, and a
second Negr threatened another
of the passengers with knife, Mr..
Davis declared.
In order to avoid further, Mr..

before finally emerging on the
.ong-end OF a low-scoring game.
The score was tied four times in
first half with the teams leaving
he floor with the score at 14-alL
With Jimmy Gibson and Chralie
Smith leading the way, Magnetic's
cagers scored nine points before
Rosary tailed in the third quart
er. The Crusaders just never could
quite catch up after that.
Gibson with y points and Smith,
with II, topped the scorers. Don
Murphy was high for the losers
with 9.
MOnarchs Look Sloppy
Although winning by comfort
able margins in both their opening
games, Marysville's Monarchs
loked pretty sloppy at times in
both tilts. Against any other kind
of opposition than that provided by
South Solon and Pleasant, the
MonarChs would have been soft
pickings.
AS it was, however, the locals
breezed through their two initial
games to run smack into some of
the hottest stuff in the entire tour
nament for the last one (or two,
maybe).
Agains South Solon, Marysville
| took an early lead and was in front
! Il to one at the end Of the first
period. When the teams left the
; floor at half-time, the margin was
II to 9. They played even-up the
| third stanza, each team netting
seven points to make the count "a
to 16 at the end of that quarter.
Marysville had a big fourth
quarter, scoring 13 points to five
for the losers, and ended with 81
to p margin. Gordy Snider tailed
II points to take the scoring hon.
ors for Marysville, while Mills,
high scorer of the Madison county
tournament, got only six for South
SOlOn.
Locals Get Scare
vile a few unpleasant moments in
the first quarter before the Mon
archs got going. Paced principally
by Don Mayer, who tailed u
points in leading Pleasant to an
upset victory over Columbus st.
Marys in the first round, the Mar
ion county lads held an 6 to 2
lead at one ponit of the first quart
Cr.
BY the end of the opening stan
"a, however, MarySville was ahead
IA to y, and Pleasant had finished
tSelf off. Half-time score was only
o to II in favor of the Monarchs,
but it was obvious who would win
the game. By the end of the third
period, Marysville was leading "a
to 26, and outpointed Pleasant, 13
to 6. the final period.
Leo Robinson tailed 13 points
for MarySvilIe, while Snider and
Nanny Rogers got II each. The lat
or, incidentally, played bang-up
game all the way to turn in the
best performance of any of the To-
Gals Mayer ended the evening with
16 points for the losers.

urday night, the Monarchs elm
mated Pleasant township. from
Marion county, At to 81, but no.
without a struggle the first half
Magnetic Springs will play a.
gain at 7:3O pm. Tuesday, meet
ing the very strong Marion St
Marys team in what may well
decide the championship of the up
per bracket.
MarySVille will run into another
tough customer. Wednesday even
ing, when they play Grove City at
7:3O pm.
Other Teams Remaining
Other teams remaining in the
tournament after preliminary
rounds are:
Claridon and Cardington, who
will play the other upper-bracket
semi-final at $50 pm. Tuesday,
and
WOrthington and Bremen, who
will play the other lowerbrackct
semi-final at $50 pm. Wednesday.
With Magnetic Springs and Ma
rysVille in opposite brackets, it is
quite possible that the two Union
county teams could share the tour
nament co-championship this year.
Such an event, however, is still a
long way in the offing, and Mag
netiC's chances of winning a share
in the title are considered much
brighter than MarySville's.
Magnetic Favored
In fact, Magnetic Springs is fav-
ored to win the upper half of the
tournament, although not without
two battles, and especially their
game Tuesday against S
game Tuesday against st. Marys.
The Monarchs, on the other
hand, are given only an even
chance at all against the highly-rC-
garded Worthington team, which
should have no trouble with BrC-
men.
Magnetic had score thrown into
them by a stubborn Rosary quintet

GIVEN MORE TIME
TO FILL CONTRACT

In Face of Labor Situation;
Meet Power Co. Officials

An extension until March IL in
which to get the parking meters
erected in MarySville was granted
by City Council to the Magee-Hale

meeting of the Solons, Thursday
night Other business included APP
pointment of a new member to the
Board of Public Affairs and discus
sion of the electrical situation in
Marysville with officials of the
Dayton Power & Light co.
Original contract with the Ma
gee-Hale company provided that
the parking meters should be in
stalled in Marysville in go days,
and a clause was inserted making
the contract void if they were not
erected in that length of time, In
view of the nationwide labor sit
uation and resultant shortages of
materials, however, it was agreed
by Council to grant the company
until March II to complete their
contract.
| Walter Asman Named
This means, of course, that Ma
rysviIle will have Magee-Hale met
erS one week from today, or the
contract will be vOided and pro-
baby a new one drawn up with an
other company.
Council appointed Walter AS
man, himself a member of the
Council until last January, to re-
place Harlow B. Salter as a mem
Der of the Board of Public Affairs.
Mr.. Salter had rendered his re-
Signation at the previous meeting
of Council, due to his other bust
ness affairs. Mr.. Asman had served
as Councilman for 10 years, and
his familiarity with village affairs
makes him well qualified to mem-
berShip on the Board of Public AT
fairs.
Invitation to meet with the XII
wants club on March II was ac-
cepted by Council. This will corISti-
tute the regular meeting of Athe
Solons for that week, and there
will be no meeting on March "a
which would be the customary
meeting time for them.
Meet Power Co. Officials
Following the regular meeting,
the Council held an informal SeS-
sion with officials of the Dayton
Power & Light CO., which acquired
the electrical distribution system
in MarysVille about a year ago
from the Marion-ReSerVe Power
co.
Purpose of the meeting was to
enable Councilman and Power co.
officials to become acquainted with
one-another, and to discuss the fu-
ture relationships between the viii
lage and Power co. No formal ac-
ton of any kind was taken during
the meeting, but Power co. Off
cialS outlined in some detail the
plans they have for improving their
service to this community.
