pledge themselves not to eat meat

Mr.. Truman, in broadcast from

changes" that they increase their
down payment requirements on
grain to at least one-third.
Mr.. Truman in sounding the de-
mand on the grain markets de-
clared that the cost of living must
not be football to be kicked about
by gamblers in grain" If the grain
exchanges refuse to make the mar
gin change, "the government may
find it necessary to limit the
amount of trading" the President
said.
As additional sacrifices to but
tress his Aid-for-Europe campaign
launched formally with Sunday
nights speeches, Mr.. Truman asked
every family to save a slice OF
bread every day" and asked public
eating places to serve bread an6
butter only on request.
'The battle to save food in the
United States is the battle to save
our own prosperity and to save the
free countries of Western Europe
Our self-denial will serve us il
good stead in the years to come,
he said

Mr. Truman's message was pre-
ceded by that of Luckman, who re

The Monarchs played calm, care

kets from start to finish, against
II for Marysville. But the Mon
archs sank only four free throws
out of ten tries, while Plain City
made good on 10 charity tosses
out of the II chances awarded
them by Officials Clayton Hook
man and Gene Mechling.
The game started out slowly,
with both teams feeling each OF
her out, much as couple of box
ers with worlds title at stake. At
ter 3-minutes of the first quarter
were gone, the tally stood at 81
for Marysville. Then the tussle
slowly gathered momentum and
when the opening stanZa ran out,
Marysville was ahead 9-8.
l7-l2 at Half-time
The second quarter looked bad
for Plain City. With out their u.s.
ual scoring punch, the Scotties
appeared helpless and the Mon
archs held lead of 1912 as the
teams left the floor at half time.
When play resumed after the
intermission, things were apar-
emily still going we'll for Marys-
vile, until about midway
through the third period. At one
time in that stanza, Marysville
held point lead 25-18. 1t was at
this point that the Scotties started
their comeback, and the third
period ended with the Monarchs
in front only 1924.
But Marysville held its lead
until only 3-minutes, 20 seconds
remained. Here Jerry Headless
dunked in his second goal of the
game and the Scotties were in
front the first time, 37-36. A bit
later, Jordan made it 1886 with
a free throw.
Kinqsmore Ties 1t Up
Then, as time was running out,
Jerry Kingsmore flipped in neat
one-hander from his pivot po-
sition and tied the count at 38-all.
And that's the way the regular
game ended. The first overtime
went without a single score for
either team.
In the second overtime, period,
Plain City got the ball on the tip
off, but Marysville's sterling de-
fensive play soon gained poses
sion of the leather and the Mon
archs quickly set up a play. Act
ually, it appeared that they might
win the game then, but Dean

groups desire to see what the
Farm Bureau Councils survey
would uncover. Moreover, those
present expressed the desire to go
further into Utility laws before
taking any definite steps.
Principal complaints against
the telephone service which pre-
walls in all Union county COM
munities fall into one of four gen.
eral classes:
Reasons for Complaint
/. Too small an area of coverage
out of one exchange.
2. Poor quality of service.
3. Unlimited talking.
4. Too many persons on one
party line.
Most of the complaints in the
first category come from the
Redwood exchange, where the
toll-free area is comparatively
small. Long distance charges are
to call more than a few
miles out of Redwood.
The other three complaints
seemed to be general through
out the county. In the last class
it was reported that a Union
county physician, whose phone
should be open for emergencies
at any time, is on a party line
with IL telephones.

Scheiderer's shot from the corner
was short of the mark and Plain
City took over.
Down the floor was Jordan, and
in position to shoot. His mates
got the ball to him, but Nanny
Rogers, one of the two seniors on
this years Marysville team, who
played perhaps the best game of
any of the 10 boys on the floor,
was there to stop Jordan. How
ever, the officials ruled Rogers had
fouled Jordan in doing so, and
Jordan ended it all with his two
free throws.
Ding Dong Battle
The game was a ding-dong bat
tie between two evenly matched
teams. No one need apologize for
the Marysville quintet in losing
to the very fine Plain City aggre-
cation. On the other hand, Plain
City fans were darned thankful
when the game ended the way it
did.
Both teams were on their toes
| from start to finish, putting forth
their best efforts. For each, it was
an outstanding exhibition of team
work.
Probably Jordan, and Chuck
F, Ferguson were the outstanding
iplayers for the Scotties, with the
] latter leading the scoring with
five baskets and two free throws
for a -2-point total. Jordan had
IL points including the two which
won the game, while Dick Lamka
had 10 markers.

scoring for Marysville with Is
points while playing a fine game
at pivot. Rogers, even though
committing a foul which let Jor-
dan sink the winning points, was

fans can look forward to neXt

now, with Kingsmore, Dayton

history and fans are counting or

FINALGAME

Incor Hotel defeated the strong
Burton Vets colored team from
Springfield, last Wednesday eve
ming at Magnetic high school
gym, 54 to 81.
The Resorters were behind
from 5 to 8 points until the last
four minutes of the last quarter
when Bob Fee, hotel guard began
to hit three baskets in quick
succession, to put Incor on the
move. Helped by the entire team,
the ultimate winners forged a
head 81 to SO with one minute
left to be played.
The Vets scored a foul, so did
Incor, to lead So to 81 and with
