1876 6PUPILS
OUT OF SCHOOL
Flu Epidemic Hits.
May Force Closing

One hundred ninety-six pupils
were absent from MarySville
schools this morning, presumably
due to a mild form of influenza
which has reached near-epidemic
proportions here, Supt. H. w.
Carr reported. This figure is near
ly one-fourth the total enrolment
of IT'S.
In addition to the 1876 pupils,
two teachers were also absent
today and several others report
ed they were contracting the ma
lady. Pupil absence was distribu-
ted among the various schools
as follows:
Senior high, 30; Junior high, "A;
West grades, GA; and East grades,
SO.
While this takes a large pro-
portion of cur pupils out of the
classroom, we are going to try
to continue running if possible, -
Supt Carr said. However, if the
situation continues we may ne
forced to close later on"
Health department officials re-
ported this morning that most
of the sickness of this nature now
seems to be concentrated in Ma
rysville. Other areas in the coun-
ty, however, reported nc mild
flu week and the week before
In addition to the flu, there IS

larly in the Raymond and Byhalia

Purpose of the group is to de-

After this evidence has been
gathered another meeting of the

A. &P Sponsors
Contest For
Poultry Roisers

Union county poultrymen will
compete with poultry breeders
in 10 northcentral states in the
1947 phase of the nationwide
chicken of tomorrow progra a m
with more than 1900 poultry
raisers from this county eligible
to enter the competition, accord
ing to D. D. Slade, chairman of
the national chicken Of tomorrow
contest committee.
"All that is required for Union
county poultrymen to become a
part of this important breeding
program is flock of SO baby
chicks hatched between April l3
and 19, Slade said. 'Pou1trymen
entering the contest are urged to
contact c. M. Ferguson of Ohio
State university, chairman of the
contest committee in this state. "
Aimed at developing chickens
with improved meat-type char
acteristics, the contest carries a
$4,000 grand prize in l948 pro
vided by A & P Food Stores and
$4,000 in regional prizes. The top
award will go to the poultry
breeder who develops the most
improved meat-type chicken.
Slade urged Ohio poultrymen
to continue their efforts to de-
velop superior meat-type chick
ems which, he said, are paying
increased dividends to the entire
state. He pointed to the Chicken
of Tomorrow contest as an out
standing example of the poultry
industry's determination to pro-
vide consumers with better chick
en- dinners.
The importance of poultry
farming in Union county, Slade
said is reflected in the latest re-
port from the Census Bureau
which shows that 81 per cent OF
the county's farmers received in
come from poultry. These pro-
ducers, according to the report,
/ have more than 364,000 chickens
and sell nearly 100000 dozen
| eggs.

COUNTY TOURNAMENT
REVENUE HITS $1,000

The l947 Union county baS-
ketball tournament took in a
total of $2219.10, according to
County Supt. Gale w. Baldwin.
OF this amount, however, ap-
proximately $4O0 went for fede-
raj taxes, leaving the athletic
committee something in tn e
neighborhood of $1,000 to pay ex-
penses and distribute among the
participating schools.
Each school received flat bo-
nus of $50, plus $40 for each
game played. Thus a school that
was eliminated in the first round
got $50, while the four schools
which went through to the fl
nails and consolation game got
500 each.

Then all pandemonium broke
loose as the ardent Plain City fol-
lowers became fully aware that
their team had annexed its first
district basketball crown. And
how those ScottieS earned it, Fa-
vored to win by anywhere from
five to l5 points by most obser-

to battle every inch of the way,
and come from behind in the clos
ing moments to throw the contest
into an overtime.
Jordan's Free Throws Win
The game winning points were
scored by Plain City's outstanding
forward, Kenny Jordan. The big
boy was fouled while going in for
basket in the second time
period. Awarded two shots, he
calmly strobe to the free throw
line and dropped in both of them.
And with that act, it was all over
except the celebration which the
