THE REDSKINS hit the road on
Friday night to play McConneisville
in their final game before Christmas
vacation. The Big Reds, with a green
team, opened the season by losing
to Roseville 1882, Philo 30-16 and
New Concord 5O-35 Improving
steadily, they upset New Lex last
week 1888 for the Panthers first
loss in four games. Previously New
Lex had turned back Caldwell 81
%, so McConnelsville is rated on
equal terms with the Redskins to
make the outcome a toss-up. Last
year, the Big Reds edged Caldwell
27-21 on the local floor, but in the
return game, the Redskins let 60
both barrels to win '51-26.
SHOT AVERAGES for the Glouster
game found the Redskins making
good 19 out of SO attempts for 81
per cent. The Tomcats hit the hoops
for 1859 and II per cent.

Caldwell Wins Over
Glousier Cats 1891

The Redskins notched their Sec
ond league win at Glouster last Fri
day night, 43-3I, but had to come
from behind and fight off the stub
born Tomcats to gain the victory.
For awhile it looked like repeti-
tion of last years upset was in the
making, but Caldwell finished
strong in the last three minutes to
pull ahead.
The first quarter found Caldwell
out in front 1873 due largely to Ben
Crafts three buckets from beyond
the foul circle, although, Shaw, r.
Tilton and Murrey added single
fielders in this frame At the half,
however, the Tomcats held IT'S
advantage as the Redskins hit a
wild streak, losing the bau numer-
Gus times and failing to score field
goal. Shaw dropped in two free
throws and King one for Caldwell's
only points.
The Redskins spurted into the
lead following the intermission as
Craft flipped in three more buckets
aided by fielders on the part of
Shaw, Carter and v. Tilton for a
1928 score at the three-quarter
mark The final period saw big Bill
Murrey dump in seven points to pull
the Redskins into comfortable lead
and put the game on ice.
In the preliminary, Caldwell re-
serves spotted the Glouster reserves
1910 lead, then came back to win
the contest 20-17. Bill Christopher
was high point man with II, as
Glouster was held to five points in
the second half.

Navy Changes Terms
OF Current Enlistment

J. D. Lewallen, CFC, USN, of the
GAINESVILLE navy recruiting station
announced today that the terms of
enlistment in the regular navy have
been lowered Men with prior naval
service or re-enlist within 80 days
from date of separation or discharge
may enlist for 2, 3, 4, or 6 years, at
the option of the man enlisting.
Men with no prior naval service,
including veterans from other
branches of the armed forces and
non-veterans, and navy veterans
who have been discharged longer
than 80 days may enlist or re-enlist
for 3, 4, or 6 years. Men II years of
age will be enlisted for 3 years or
minority only as they choose.
Lewallen added that another
change of procedure is that parents
written consent for a man to enlist
is needed only for men II years of
age, those 18 and over do not need
parents written consent. Heretofore
men under 81 needed parents writ
ten consent to enlist and the shortest
term of enlistment was minority for
II year olds and 4 years for all
others.

are in Caldwell every Friday from
1000 a. M, to 1900 noon at the

A. w. Newton Dies
At Home In Caldwell

A. w. Newton, 81, for over IA
years a public Official in Noble coun-
ty, died at his home on Mill street,
Thursday morning Mt LAS o'clock,
following long illness. His con-
dition had been critical for the past
month.
Mr.. Newton served as deputy
auditor and deputy treasurer during
his span of public service and was
one of the best liked officials ever
to serve in this capacity.
Deceased was born and reared in
Brookfield township, where he had
owned and operated a farm. He also
taught school prior to coming to
Caldwell 26 years ago. He was a
son of Lambert and Martha West
colt Newton, the last surviving
member in family of five sons.
Surviving are his wife, Rebecca
Gander Newton and one sister, Miss
Ruth Newton Of Spring Hill, Kansas.
He was a member of the local Meth
odist church.

cent drop from April to May of un-
employment benefit payments to
Ohio law claimants was reported to
Governor Thomas J. Herbert by
Dale Dunifon, Administrator of the
Bureau of Unemployment Compens-
alton, in his monthly report. His
figures also showed that payments
to unemployed veterans in Ohio
under the Servicemen's Readjust-
ment Allowances Act fell Is per
cent
Another encouraging sign in the
employment picture was Dunifon's
statement that initial claims for
benefits under both programs had
declined for the fourth consecutive
month and were six per cent lower
than in April.
The average weekly number of
benefit recipients under both pro-
grams continued a downward trend
since March and reached "A, 4,285-20
per cent under April.
Although benefit payments may
be received by unemployed workers
under the Ohio law for a maximum
period of % weeks, many workers
do not receive them for the full
period because they either find jobs,
drop out of the labor market, or
otherwise disqualify themselves be-
fore the expiration of that time, Mr..
Dunifon said
Equally significant in the Admin
istrator's report was the fact that
the 1882 claims of self employed
veterans under the SRA program
for the month of May were fifty
three per cent below the correspond
ing month last yea He attributed
this decrease largely to the on the
job training programs for farmers
and to the number of self-employed
servicemen who have exhausted
allowances.

best
So He took him home to eternal
rest,
But only those who loved him best
can tell
The heart ache of not saying
a last farewell.

MONTGOMERY SIDELIGHTS
By ELSIE WHITE HAINES

The social event of the week.
end in upper Montgomery was the
party given Saturday evening by
Clara May Downey. No statesman
of world renown ever had more
royal reception at Olney Inn than
that accorded the "neighbors."
Olney, the quiet little village
known as Mechanicsville until the
early goth century, has won ma
tional fame as the home of the
famous inn internationally known
in fact-for diplomats from various
countries like to come out from
Washington to breakfast on Sun
day mornings or for the famed
chicken dinners, and of course they
write home about them.
Don't you love the Olney Inn
sign-the old man with the plow ?
We always expect to see him spit
"terbaccy" juice and say "Gol darn
this ground is hard! Giddap thar!"
The Maryland room at the Inn
is worthy of mention-with it's
scenes typical of Colonial days.
Clifton, at Ednor-home of the
Thomas family for generations is
depicted on the wall to the right
as one enters. built of bricks
handmade from local clay in 1742,
this home has been occupied by a
John, a William or a William John
Thomas ever since.)
Fifty years ago the Olney Inn
property was Farquhar farm.
Just across the road was Fair Hill,
the Charles Kirk farm. From these
farms and the farms belonging to
the various Brookes, Jones, Barns
ley, Cashell and other families
came loads of grain, often drawn
by a yoke of oxen, to Muncaster's
mill where we grew up. Many of

grey and thinning hair-or none

whom we met at the party Satur-
day, remember standing with us
to watch the water flow over the
old mill wheel. All, me!
Those were "the good old days"
but do we wish them back? No,
a thousand times no! No automo-
biles, no telephones, no central
heating, no running water, no
radios, no school buses, no
P-TA's, no county hospitals, no
extension service, no Park and
Planning, no Suburban Sanitary
Commission, no county supervisor,
no charter committee, no strikes,
we are tired-you finish it up.
We will admit that life was
much less complex in those days
but we like living today.
