RESTAURANT
TO HAGGARD
Deal Completed Tuesday,
New Owner To Assume
Control On Feb. 10

Buffers Lunch & Soda grill,
long one of central Ohio's most
popular restaurants and No. l
'hang-out" for Marysville young
people, has been sold by Leo F.
(Tony) Butler to Clarence B.
(Clancy) Haggard. Mr.. Haggard
will take over the business Feb.
10.
Going in as manager of the
restaurant for Mr.. Haggard will
be w. C. (Gus) Niekamp, of Ell
wood ave-, former A G. P store
manager here and more recently
associated with the H. B. Salter
Manufacturing co. Other person
mel at Buffers will remain un-
changed, Mr.. Haggard announced.
Mr.. Butler, who came to Marys-
vile in 1888, said today he was
selling the business to get much
needed rest for himself and his
wife. Both Mr.. and Mrs. Butler
have spent long hours in the res
taurant; building it into one of
the community's leading business
establishments.
Rebuilds Business
Closed for several months be-
fore Mr.. Butler took over its op-
Grafton, the restaurant has grown
from one room to occupy two full
business rooms. The old equip
ment with which he started has
been replaced through the years
with new fountain, back bar
counters, booths and kitchen e.
quipment until it is completely
and modernly equipped.
Despite having operated the
restaurant longer and more sue
cessfully than any of his prede-
cessorS in that room, Mr.. Butler
has gained his chief recognition
for providing Marysville boys ano
girls with a youth center" wher
no other place was available fol
them. Countless parents in the
community have expressed then
appreciation for the clean whole
some atmosphere the place has
maintained
In addition to his own bushes:
affairs, Mr.. Butler has been active
in civic affairs as well, and ha:
gained a wide circle of friend:
who wish him we'll in whatever

Residents of Marysville and vic
Unity were getting a taste of
spring weather in mid-Winter, to-
day, even to thunder storms.

Resolution asking the Union
county Commissioners to "demob-
ilize" the World War II honor roll
board on the Court House lawn
was adopted by Union post No. 79,
American Legion, at its regular
meeting, Monday night. 1t was re-
quested that appropriate cere-
monies" take place when the
board is removed, and suggested
Memorial Day as the time to do
it.
The resolution is in keeping
with statewide program of the
Legion. 1t was felt that, since
nearly all the honor roll boards
were temporary propositions and
are already showing signs of neg
lect, these boards should be re-
moved all over Ohio, and the

Legion Asks County, To Demobilize'
Honor Roll Board on Decorating Ddy

when the honor roll board is re-
moved. This trophy is planned to
replace the World War l German
field gun which was donated in
1912 to the scrap drive.
Another resolution adopted by
the Legion Monday night requests
the Union county Veterans Com
mission to appoint service Of
ficer for Union county.
There are approximately 1000
veterans in Union county who are
in need of advice and counsel
from a trained service officer, +"
Mr.. Rausch declared.
Inadequate Information Source
Just two years ago, there were
only approximately $50 veterans
in the entire county.
At the present time,' veteran
seeking information or assistance
in filling c.. |. Bill of Right"
benefit blanks must go to the
Veterans Administration office in
Columbus, contact the VA rep
resentative who is in Marysville
only one day per week, or hunt
up the service officer of one of
the veterans organizations.
"The latter, while perfectly
/ willing to help in any way, are
only part-time, voluntary work
ers whose knowledge of complex
veterans affairs is necessarily
limited" Mr.. Rausch declared
"Our veterans deserve better
handling of their affairs locally"
Want Officer Schooled
When the commission does ap-
point a full time service officer,
it is the desire of the Legion that
he should have several weeks
schooling through the Veterans
Administration A similar resolu-
ton has also been adopted by the
Veterans of Foreign Wars.
Aid and support to the new O.
hio National Guard company be-
ing organized here was also pledg-
ed by the Legion.
Following the business session
Monday night, the Legionnaires
heard a discussion by Clifton L.
Caryl, representative to the Gen
eral Assembly, on veterans leg
islation coming before the Legis-
lature this year. Most of the legis-
lation consists of bonus bills ir
various forms, and it is Mr.
Caryls opinion that some sort
of veterans bonus will be passed
Opinion of Legionnaires present
was divided as to whether the
bonus should be paid now OF
later.

the end of the first quarter, but
went to 26 to l3 at half-time and
81 to 18 at the third quarter.
Dodge netted 25 points for the

In keeping with its youth ac1
tivity program, Union post No.
79 of the American Legion is
sponsoring on intramural basket
ball league in the Marysville high
school this season.
Under the guidance of Don

the better teams, on basis of their
play during the season will be
seeded to keep them from meet
ing the opening round.
The first and second teams of
the North and South Leagues
will be arbitrarily assigned po-
sitions in the tournament bracket
so they cannot meet early in the
classic.
That being the case, it will in
all probability be Broadway and
Redwood in the North League
and Union and New California in
the south. All four teams are un"
defeated, to date, in league com

COUNTY LEAGUE WINNERS
TO BE DECIDED ON FRIDAY

Marysville high school will play
Mt. Gilead and five games inVolv-
ing Union county teams are on
the schedule for Friday night.
Two of the five county games are
all-important as they will decide
the ultimate champions of the
North and South Leagues.
Marysville is expected to have
little trouble with the hapless Mt.
Gilead team in a Mid-State
League game. The Monarchs had
a fairly easy time winning here
earlier in the season and, while
the small Mt. Gilead floor may
prove some handicap, it should
not be enough to prevent the To-
Gals from emerging on top.
Eyes of the entire county will
b turned toward Broadway,
where tn e red-hot Broadway
team and a determined Redwood
quintet clash for championship
honors in the North League. Rat
ed as the two best teams in Union
county, these quintets are eX-
pected to put on a real battle for
points and a sell-out crowd IS
expected. Both are still undefeat-
ed in League play.
In the South loop, New Cali
fornia and Union will battle it
out for top honors, with New Cal
ly the home team. Like Broad
way and Redwood in the North
League, New Cally and Union
are indicated in the South end, SO
much will be at stake here, too.

Other games Friday will find
Middleburg at Raymond in non
League tilt: Magnetic Springs at
Byhalia and Darby at Allen, both
League games. Here again, these
two games will pit teams with
identical records against each
other. Darby and Allen have each
won one and lost two in the
South league, while Magnetic and
Byhalia have won two and lost
two in the North league.
