&.'Bertie" is all but human, even
though he was born i'm tree =.
TIME little boy chimpanzee in these pic
Il lures is the nearest thing imaginable to
a real baby. At four months. when most
animals. are romping about and gobbling
everything in sight, BERTHE cannot stand, or
even sit up. Milk is his only food, and he
must be handled because he can't hold the
bottle He sucks his thumb and behaves
in general like any human infant.
BERTHE does have one advantage though
he doesn't howl at night.
His owner is Armand Denis, the we'll
known explorer. Denis ran across BERTHE on
his latest trip to Africa and brought him
home. He is very proud of the baby, since
young chimps rarely survive in captivity.
BERTHE is thriving, and Denis's only problem
at the moment is common one among all
parents: how to break that am. feeding9
He Was Terrified
Berries one popularity is that he insists
on clinging fast to something, even in his
sleep. The explanation is that, being born
on the limb of tree, his instinct is to
hold on to his mother lest he fall to the
ground.
When the pictures were being made, Denis
tried to pose BERTHE on the bare floor. The
youngster was terrified - he couldn't
find anything to grab on to, SO he was
afraid he'd tumble into space.
BERTHE will be a safe pet until he's about
eight years old, which is chimpanzee adult
hood. Then, if he's like others of his kind,
he'll be apt to take piece out of your arm
if he finds you annoying.
Which only proves that chimps are lot
like human beings. SUSAN BELLOWS

CHIEF PLEADS
FOR SAFE YULE

Let's make this safe Christ
mas holiday season. as well as
a happy one." Fire Chief George
Singer suggests to MarYsville
and Union county families.
Fire is the biggest hazard at
Christmas time. and can quick
lY turn a joyous occasion into
one of stark tragedy" he de-
clared. Mr.. Singer suggests that
the following points be closely
watched:
/. Make sure that all electri-
cal ornaments and Christmas
tree lights have no bare wires
or short circuits which could
start a fire.
2. Candles should not be used
around Christmas decorations.
but if they are. make sure the
flame is far away from any
thing which might catch fire.
3. Make sure that the Christ
mas tree and all other trim
mings are fire-resistant. and if
not. treat them. Chemicals
which will do this can be bought
at Asman's Rexall or any other
drug store.
A. Paper ornaments. while
pretty. are a hazard and should
not be used.

Az miles southeast of New Cali

Wilkins Card
Most Unusual
Received Here

Probably the most unusual card
sent or received by anyone in Ma
rysville was that sent by Lee and
Mary wilkins. Mr.. Wilkins is a
local dry goods merchant and
clerk of the Union county Selec-
tive Service board.
The card is one entirely of Mr..
wilkins own design and creation,
and centers around greeting
song composed by him.
1t is a large, four-page folder
with the song on the inside right
hand page. Mr.. wilkins has en-
titled it 1--WE wish for you Merry
Christmas" and his instructions
are that it should be played
with friendly lit and bit of
zing."
On the left-hand inside page is
the message, "This Christmas
Day, there's song in our hearts
for your.
AS Mr.. wilkins says, the song
really plays" Not only that, it
plays well, as those with musical
ability who have received the
card have discovered for them
selves.

developed engine trouble, and was
just in the act of putting out
flares, when the station wagon,
driven by Mr.. Williams, ran into
his truck.
Other witnesses, however, de-
clared Jones had been parked
there for several minutes before
the crash, Mr.. Coleman said. A
mong these were DIR. and Mrs.
j. NJ. Snider and their sons, who
said they almost ran into the
truck shortly before the accident.
State Highway Patrolman V. E.
Slattery and Robert McCurdy,
who investigated the fatal acci-
dent, had the truck impounded as
soon as they could get a wrecker
there, and placed Jones in the
Union county Jail for investiga-
ton. Formal charges were filed by
Mr.. Williams Friday morning.
Jones was taken before Justice
William H. Snodgrass Friday af-
ternoon, where he pleaded not
guilty and waived examination.
His bond was fixed at $1,000 and
was Immediately furnished.

M. H. S. DOWNS
MT. GILEAD
34..23 FRIDAY
Makes Second League
Win For Monarchs;
Reserves Take Fifth

Marysville high school cagers
turned in another victory, Fri
day night, when they trimmed a
sSo-so Mt Gilead quintet, "a to
%, in the Marysville gym. The
Monarch Reserves made it five
in a row by defeating the Mt.
Gilead seconds, 36 to 81.
The Monarchs failed to play
as good ball as they showed a
gainst either Plain City or Mar
ion st. Mary, but were still plen-
ty good enough to win going a
away.
Probably the calibre of the Mt
Gifead quintet was partially re-
sponsible for the Monarchs' show
ing, it being automatic among
coaches that a good team will
not put forth their best against
poor team. Marysville found
early in the game that their op-
position was not too tough, and
played rather lack-a-daisical
brand of ball the rest of the way
Not that Marysville was rag
ged; indifference" probably best
describes their play. Ball handl-
ing was still good, and Dean
Scheiderer in particular found
the net from the field plenty OF
times. Defensive play continued
to be the same tight brand which
MarysVille has demonstrated
from the beginning of the season.
But the locals got careless al
times, took chances which they
wouldn't have against a better
team, and tried a lot of wild
''hope" shots.
The Monarchs had lead of 8
to 2 at the end of the first qaur.
ter, and extended it to 13 to 8 al
half-time. The third quarter was
fairly even, Marysville getting II
points to the visitors 10, and the
third period ended "a to II. Ir
the last stanza, however, Marys-
vile racked up 10 points to the
Indians six, and won going away
Scheiderer was the heavy scor-
er for Marysville again, dropping
in eight field goals and a free one
for II points. West tailed ii tc

The young Monarchs had an
easy time of it, leading 8 to al
the end of the first quarter, 20 tC
7 at half-time, and Is to 18 al

Thomas netted II points for Mar
ysville and Kingle got 10 for Mt

3 HOMES HERE
LAST FRIDAY
Steiner, Mayer, Miracle
Residences Are Entered;
Clews Being Sought

At least three Marysville homes
were burglarized Thursday night
and Friday morning, Sheriff H.
S. Roosa reported today Clothing,
jewelry and money was taken
from all three.
Francis Steiner, of the Colon
ial Courts, said that thieves en-
tered his apartment there some
time between z and IL p. m. on
Thursday, while he and his wife
were visiting friends.
Steiner said he did not learn
of the burglary until Friday
morning when he was unable to
find his wrist watch after arising.
Further check-up then revealed
that a finger-tip length reversi-
BILE coat and some Christmas
packages had been taken in ad-
dition to the watch.
The thieves apparently used
skeleton key to unlock the "a
partment door.
Mayer Home Ransacked
Second florr of the J. A. Mayer
home, 328 S. Court ST., was ran
sacked by burglars who broke in
to the house between 9 and II
a. m. Friday. A broken glass in
the garage indicated the thieves
gained entrance that way.
Although most of the entire
second floor was turned "topsy-
turvy" by the thieves, they ap-
parently took only S25 to $50 in
cash, and one Christmas present,
pen and pencil set, Deputy
Sheriff Alva Moore said. Other
Christmas packages and some
| bonds were untouched.
The burglary was discovered
/ by Frieda Mayer, when she got
home at noon Friday from Mes
ties, where she is employed. Mr..
Mayer had gone down town at 8
a. m. and returned at II a. m. but
did not discover the burglary be-
cause he didn't go upstairs.
Ring Is Stolen
A valuable ring and other jew
elry was taken from the home OF
Mrs. Iva Miracle, 346 S. Court ST..
also Friday morning. She discov-
cred the theft when she got home
j from work at NeStles at noon, and
Immediately reported it to the Of
flee of the sheriff.
Mrs. Miracle said she found the
front door unlocked when she got
home, and knew that it had been
locked when she went to work
in the morning. Other valuable
items in the house were over
looked or ignored by the thieves.
Mrs. Ada Collier, who resides
in S. Court ST., across from the
Mayors, said she saw a tall man
wandering around the Mayer
home, Friday morning. She took
him TO be Saleman, however,
and thought nothing further of
it until she learned of the bur-
glaries later on.

SNOWFALL FRIDAY INSURES
WHITE CHRISTMAS AGAIN

More than four inches of
snow which fell Friday insured
that Union county will have a
white Christmas-or at least
a gray one-the snow has been
on the ground long enough to
begin showing d coating of SCOT
and dirt.
But at least it's snow, and it's
slippery. and the kids are hav-
ing wonderful time with their
sleds and playing snow games.
Motorists. of course. aren't so
happy about the whole thing.
and state and county highway
employees whose responsible
itY it is keep the roads clear are
busy.
But then. it just isn't Christ
mas without snow. so we'll with
hold further comment until the
first snowfall after Christmas
is over.

MOST CHILDREN'S HOME KIDS
TO SPEND CHRISTMAS AT HOME

Not more that four to six chill
dren will be at the Union Coun-

day, the smallest number in many
years, Mrs. Chester Auer, matron,
declared this morning.
Nearly all of our boys and
girls will be going to their own
homes for that day." she said.
MANY of them will spend the en-
tire holiday period with their
families"
But prior to Christmas day
there has been and will be plen-
ty of merriment for all the chill
dren there.

names for a gift exchange, then

own shopping with the Kiwanis
club providing the money for
