to be in the residential district of
to hear the case by the Chief
town. Judge Tudor was appointed
Justice Carl v. Weygandt, when
Judge Richard L. Cameron de
clined to hear it.
Judge Iuuor stated In his de-
cision that the the zoning ordi-
nance was of statewide interest
since other citizens, living out
side of Marysville, own proper
ties in the village. His decision
read that, although zoning ord
nance should be drawn up to
meet the needs of the village, it
should also be lrawn in conform
lty with the state statutes. Since
the disputed ordinance was not
drawn up according to the stat
utes as provided by law, he dis
missed it as invalid
Village officials had been con-
sidering drawing up a new zon-
ing ordinance for some time, to
meet the present building con-
ditions, but had not done so
when the question of Trenor's
building came up. This question
first came before Council when
Mrs. Irene Ell, who lives adjacent
to where the building is going
up, filed action in the Common
Pleas Court for an injunction to
stop the building, early in No
vember.
Action will probably be taken
at the Village Council meeting
tonight, on new ordinance, and
care will be taken to see that it
is in accordinance with all laws.
The case of the village against
G. Fonda and Aubrey Cook has
been dropped since the decision
in the Trenor case would also
apply to them. Mr.. and Mrs.
Cook have moved Rockies Korn-
ers from w. Fifth and w. Fourth
SITS. to a site en- the Boulevard
about 100 yards west.

MONARCHS EDGE
PLAIN CITY, 1886
i'm OVERTIME tilt
Rivals Continue l946
Performances in Thriller
Tuesday Evening

Taking up just where the left
off last March, Marysville and
Plain City basketball teams
battled it out in a double-over-
time game at Plain City, Tuesday
night, with tn e victory finally
going to Marysville by a 1885
margin. Marysville Reserves won
the equally exciting preliminary
game by a score of 1926.
Center Jerry Kingsmore drop
ped in the winning points for
the Monarchs after about 1R
minutes had elapsed in the
second, "sudden-death" overtime
period. Before Kingsmore'S goal,
both teams had missed on several
scoring opportunities, any one of
which, if successful, would have
won the game.
The contests was thrown into
the first overtime period when
Marysville's Bill Wall sank a
long shot with only seconds left
to go, to tie the score at 32-all.
Each team then scored a field
goal and free throw in the first
over time to make the count 35
apiece at the end of that period.
Overflow Crowd Sees Game
The game was played before
an ov e r-flow crowd which oc-
cupied every available nook and
Granny of the Plain City gym.
Hundreds of fans who had hoped
to see the game were turned
away because there was not
enough room for them,
Last year, Plain City defeated
Marysville by one point in their
first game of the season, played
in the Marysville gym. Later on,
the Scotties decisioned the Mon
archs by five points at the bord-
ertown" school. I h e n, in tt
finals of the District Class ''B"
tournament at Westerville in
March, Plain City defeated
Marysville by two points in a
double; ''sudden-death" over
time to annex the co-champion-
ship.
The Plain City outfit which
Marysville bumped into Tuesday
night was well-coached, de-
termined bunch of boys VIII o
were in the ere fighting every
inch of the way. Marysville has
three boys on the team who are
taller than any boy on the Plain
City squad, but this dismayed
the Scotties not in the least. De-
spite the height advantage, Plain
City battled Marysville on even
terms under the bank-boards,
and recovered about as many re-
bounds as did the Monarchs.
Monarchs Have "Off Night"
The Monarchs, to complete the
story, were having an off-night
which did not help their cause
a ny. Although playing well
enough defensively, Marysville
committed many errors when on
the offense, and basket shooting
was definitely off form. The
locals hit the nets for Is baskets
out of So shots, a very poor per-
centage.
But principally, it was hard
fought, exciting ball game from
start to finish, with neither team
able to get lead of more than
t three points at any time.
Throughout most of the thrilling
final quarter and two over times,
scarcely a spectator was sitting
down, and the din made by hun
dreds of cheering and screaming
spectators was plenty.

Lilienthal Approved

Without a brief for David Lilien-
thai, it is still possible to approve the
Senate's confirmation of his nomina-
ton as chairman of the Atomic Energy
Commission, if for no other reason,
than because of Senator McKellar's
vicious attacks upon him, his charac-
ter and his administration Of the Ten
nessee Valley Authority.
Mr.. Lilienthal refused to play the
Senator's kind of politics when it came
to patronage, and 50 was subjected to
verbal assaults that could not be con-
doned even if he were guilty of the
misdeeds the Senator charged against
him.
Although it was foreseen that he
would be confirmed when the Senate
refused to throw the inquiry back in
to committee, it is notable that the ap-
proval was by a sufficient margin to
establish the fact that the Senate has
confidence in him to perform the diff
ficult tasks he is to direct.

their work and their products.
1t may appear a small matter to
the uninitiated to stand by a pasture
fence and watch a heard of cattle move
from one lush spot to another. But
when it is known that the move is
made because the cattle in the herd

for them than the grass they quit,

OUT OF THE MESS

This world is in a mess, and

With an atomic cloud Of destruc-

truly God-size. Only the Infinite

One can transform this messed
up mass of mankind.
The method? 1t is almost too

AMERICA BEFORE COLUMBUS
Indians of the South
neDart.:-THE WORLD

The Southwestern area of early
Indian life covered what is now
New Mexico, Arizona, and north
ern Mexico. Within this area there
were two types of culture. Some
tribes were nomadic (roaming(,
while others lived in houses Of
mud bricks (adobe). Most of the
houses were pueblos-square build
ings with several floors and room
enough for many families. Other
adobe houses were simpler.
The life of present-day Indians
of the Southwest gives a fair idea
of the life there before white men
came. Then, as now, there were
tribes (the Navajo roaming the
plains, and tribes (the Hopi, Zuni
and others) living in pueblos. IAen,
as now, the Pueblo Indians raised
maize (corn) and other foods and
cotton; they wove cloth on looms,
ground the corn meal between
stones, made and decorated pot
terry.
In the old days, they raised tur-
keys, hunted bison and deer, rab-
bits and antelope. Their clothes
were elaborate. They had gar
