Chic Motorcycle club and had
gone to London to see another of
their members, Leo Robinson,
participate in his first cycle race.
Just what caused the accident,
Mr.. Shaw himself does not know.
The last thing he remembers is
seeing a spot in the road which
he thought might be slippery and
turning out to circle the spot. He
and Mrs. Shaw were riding at the
rear of the group, and the other
cyclists did not see the accident
happen.
1t was just starting to rain
when the accident occurred, and
the entire group was proceeding
slowly, not more than Is miles
per hour. No other vehicle was
involved in the accident, despite
false reports around Marysville
to the effect they had Collided
with truck or automobile.
Mr.. and Mrs. Shaw were taken
to the hospital in Mechancsburg
ambulance, where it was learned
that Mr.. Shaw was only bruised,
while Mrs. Shaw had suffered a
fractured skull 1t is presumed
that her head struck the pave
ment when the motorcycle upset.
! A native of Union county, Mrs.
Shaw was born March "a, 1900
and was a daughter of Bert and
Rosetta (Amrine) Hamilton, both
deceased. She was married May
18, 1918 in Broadway to Floyd
Shaw, who survives. She was a
member of the Glad Tidings Tab
ernacle church.
! Surviving besides her husband
are one son, Robert Shaw, Marys-
vile; a brother, Clarence Hamil-
ton, and two sisters, Mrs. o. w.

GOOD HOUSEKEEPING BEST PREVENTIVE
AGAINST FIRE LOSS, HYLAND ASERTS

This week is National Fire Pre-
vention Week, and the Marysville
Fire Department is calling atten-
ton to residents of the community
some of the basic principles of
fire safety. Prepared by the Ma
tional Fire Protection Association,
the following information is re-
leased through Harold Hyland,
assistant chief of the Marysville
Fire department:
Rubbish still tops the list of
major causes of fire outbreak in
the American home.
At the present appalling rate
of burn-the U. S. A. continues
to rate the title of No. l fire trap
of the world-American homes
are being attacked by fire at the
rate of about 100000 a year. And
the estimated fire loss this year
is, shockingly, even greater.
What can be done about it?
Only you, Mrs. Housewife, with
the cooperation of your family,
can substantially reduce the fire
loss caused by carelessneSs and
neglect. Ninty percent of all fires
can be prevented, you know, by
exercising a few commonsense
precautions.
The remedy for a large part of
the fire headache lies simply in
good housekeeping.
A clean home seldom burns
and it's true! It's the cluttered
attic, the neglected basement, and
similar poor housekeeping con-
ditions, that spell fire trouble.
Fire is no respecter of persons.
1t may not wait until the "tomor-
row" when you decided to store
your old oily RACES in safe, metal
containers or move those combust-
ible cardboard cartons away from
the furance, or remove that can
of gasoline from your home.
Today is the time to act. Today
is the time to make thorough
inspection, to check your home
from cellar to attic for rubbish
and other common hazards.
Here are few fire safety tips
to keep in mind on your inspec-
ton tour:
Covered metal cans should be
provided to hold necessary col
lections of rubbish. Remove trash
regularly from the house. Where
there are accumulations of old
boxes, furniture, paper, combuSt-
ible trash or debris, fires get a
quick start. Some kinds of waste
material may ignite spontaneous
ly.
Check the heating system for
cracks, SCOT and clogging. Watch
for woodwork and other combust-
ible material near the heating sys-
tenn. Keep ashes in covered metal
containers and shield fire places
with screens,
Use friction lighters or safety
matches wherever possible. Keep
matches where small children can
not reach them. Provide liberal
supply of ash trays throughout
the house. Cultivate careful Smok-
ing habits. Do not smoke in the
garage or barn, nor in the attic.
AS you value your life, do not
smoke in bed.
Replace frayed electric cords
and defective electrical equipment.
See that fuses are properly in
stalled and that lamp shades are
kept safe distance from electric
light bulbs. And when there is a
job of wiring to be done about the
h house, call pro fessional
electrician for the job.

display. "We expect to have a
new Tucker here about the first
of the year." Cliff Blue said today.
Meanwhile, we hope people will
stop by Simon's to see from our
display the many features this
revolutionary new type of car
will present.
The Tucker will have 800 parts
less than conventional type auto
mobiles. It's most revolutionary
feature, of course, is the fact that
the engine is in the rear, the first
automobile to be placed on the
market with this change.

It's not just an overnight fancy
with a couple of hours work that
makes the fine band programs,
that we are seeing at the M.H.S.
football games this fall. Just ask
any band member, especially
about 5 p. m, after practice.
Interviews with Donald Euver-
ard, band instructor, and several
of the band members, seem to
have to leave the impression that
it takes lot of deep thinking,
memorizing and, an lawful lot
of foot work. AS matter of fact,
one of the most used expressions
found after a band practice is,
eTm tired!".

Marysville high school spotted
the Redwood high Tigers II
points, then came roaring back in
the last l3 minutes of play to win
its first Mid-State League football
game this season, 14-12 The
highly-talented right foot of
Soph omore Fullback Loren
Grimes provided the margin of
victory for the Monarchs as he
booted two perfect place kicks
between the uprights for the
points after touchdown
But until the last minute of the
third quarter, Marysville was a
badly beaten football team. Rich
woods well-coached, fighting, de-
termined team ran rough-shod
over the Monarchs for three
quarters. The Tiger line made
Marysville's line look silly; the
Tiger backs ripped through the
Monarch defense for one \gain
after another. Altogether, the
Marysville showing for the first
21a quarters could best be de-
Scribed as pathetic.
But once the Monarchs started
rolling, they were not to be de-
MED. All of a sudden, with only
a few minutes to go in the third
period and Redwood leading IL
O, Marysville came to life, took
command of the situation, com
pletely bottled up the Redwood
attack, and punched over two
touchdowns just eight minutes
apart.
Should Play Whole Game
One chap who saw the game
(and the three previous games in
which the Monarchs turned in a.
bout the same kind of perform
ance) best told the story:
Some day." he said, that
Mafysville team is going to play
a whole game and what a beat
ing they'll hand the other guys. >
Richwood's best ground gamer
Friday night was a husky, hard
running lad named Chapman,
who was almost impossible for
Marysville to stop. Every time
he got his hands on the leather,
he was good for nice gain.
Seemed like all the Tigers had
to do for first down woo give
the ball to Chapman and it was
Sin the bag.
But Chapman had plenty of
support: A couple of boys by the
names of Cheney and 'McElroy
were also effective operatives in
the Redwood backfield, while
Les Wall, normally another clev-
er runner whose play was handi-
capped by three cracked ribs Fri
day night, did an excellent job as
quarterback in handling the ball
in the ''T" formation and choos-
ing his teams plays.
Line Tough Too
The Tigers also have hard
hitting, fast charging line which,
although lighter than Marys-
ville's, kept the Monarch line at
bay most of the evening. Only in
the final period was Marysville
able to hold the Redwood backs
for no gain; the rest of the time,
the Marysville line offered only
token resistance to the Redwood
attack, and most of the Marys-
vile tackles were made by the
backs in secondary defensive po-
