Martha Southord Gets Meeic Degree
Friday, Third Generation nOfPhysicians

to carry on the family tradition,
but daughter Martha is now max
ing up for that. Fir the next three
months she plans to do clinical
research at University, following
which she will take her intern
ship there.
Wants General Practice
'Then | plan to enter general
practice" she said. Where she
will hang out her shingle she just
hasn't decided, but has strongly
considered" Marysville among OF
her locations.
DR.. Martha was graduated from
Marysville when only l6. That
fall she entered Ohio Wesleyan
but later transferred to Ohio
State where she received her
bachelor of science degree in 1943
Family Here go Years
The Southland family came to
Union county prior to the Civil
War. Martha'S great-uncle, DR.
James Southard, came to Marys-
vile in 1856 His brother, Mar
tha's grandfather, set up his prac-
tice in Raymond shortly thereaf-
ter. The two brothers practiced
medicine in Union county for
several decadeS-Dr. James in
the county seat and Dr. j. Q. in
Raymond. The latter then moved
to Marysville upon his retire
ment.
When they first began practic-
ing medicine, such things as roads
were few and far between. Often
they rode horseback along trails
blazed through wilderness to
reach a patient. DR.. j. Q. South
ard, in the later years of his prac-
tice, bought an enclosed buggy
the first such conveyance in I'm
ion county.
By way of contrast, Martha's
sister, Rosemary came from
Washington D. c. to Columbus by
plane to be on hand for the grad
uation exercises Friday.

Unhurt In Crash
Man Still Hos
Broken Wrist

Russell A. Weaver Columbus,
will probably make sure no other
vehicles are anyways close be-
fore he gets out of a wrecked
car if he ever again becomes
involved in an automobile acci-
dent
Weaver was the driver of one
of two machines figuring in a
collision at Broadway Corners "a
bout S p. m. Sunday, Sheriff H,
S. Roosa said today. His 1910 De
Soto coach struck a telephone
pole and upset after striking a
l941 Chevrolet coupe driven by
Dora Kerns, also of Columbus.
Even though his car upset and
was badly damaged, Weaver was
unhurt. But just as he was climb
ing out of the machine, a pass
ing truck struck one of the wires
which hadI been broken when
Weaver's machine snapped broke
the pole. The loose wire whipped
around, knocked Weaver back in
to his car, and broke his wrist.
The accident happened when
Mrs. Kerns, driving south on
Route 81, attempted to make a
left hand turn just as Weaver
was attempting to pass her from
the rear. Mrs. Kerns and Mrs.
Avis Bryant, also of Columbus,
"a passenger in the Kerns car,
were unhurt.
The Kerns machine was able
to continue under its own power,
but Columbus Wrecker had to
come after Weaver's car.

TOWN MAY LOSE
FIREMAN SCHOOL

Because there is not enough
attendance at the weekly Ses-
sions, the fireman's training
school being held here every
Wednesday night is in danger
of being discontinued, Council
.man William Huffman, chairman
of the fire, property and police
committee revealed this morning.
"We could accommodate as many
as a dozen men every week,
Mr.. Huffman said. "The truth
is, our instructor feels it is not
worth his while to come all the
way here unless he can have
more than just the fire depart
,ment in attendance"
While the school is primarily to
train the firemen, it had been
hoped that others in the COM
munity would avail themselves
of the opportunity to this free
training. Several weeks more OF
schooling remains.
Particularly, it is hoped that
each of the townships around
Marysville would be represented.
Marysville is now furnishing fire
tprotection for Paris, Millcreek
and Dover townships, Mr.. Huff
man pointed out, and he is anx-
ious to have the trustees of each
designate individuals to take
this training. Such men, he added
could be of much help to the
Marysville department in case of
emergency.

Springfield for both contests.
In defeating Plain City, the
crack Phillipsburg team kept
control of both bankboards most
of the time, and held the Scotties
to only nine baskets, six of them
in the first half. Plain City was
able to get few rebounds, despite
the height of Kenny Jordan and
Dick Lambka, as Phillipsburg
played an aggressive but careful
brand of ball.
At one time, late in the first
half, Plain City was within two
points of tying the score, but
most of the way the PhillipSburg
team had lead of anywhere
from five to II points.
Lee Bohlender and Hugh
Haines, nephew of Jess Haines,
former pitcher for the st. Louis
Cardinals, teamed up for Phil
lipsburg to out-score the entire
Plain City quintet, Bohlender
getting l6 points and Haines, l3.
Phillipsburg holding a 1915
edge at the half held Plain City
to single point in the third pc
riod while running up a 26-l6
advantage, from where the vic
tors coasted in. Dick Lambka
led the Plain City team with
eight points.

Copper Consumption Hold,
Al Peacefime Records
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK. Jan. 18.-Copper con-
sumption in the United States con-
tinued at record peacetime levels.
December use at 148,218 tons
shipped to plants showed a gain of
10000 tons over the November total
of 129,206. OF the total, foreign
copper accounted for COSTS tons in
December and 53,875 in the preced-
ing month.
The domestic price held firm at
1912 cents pound Connecticut VAL
ley during the past week. Foreign
copper sales in the world market
were made at prices ranging from
194 to 20 cents pound and on a
New York basis the foreign metal
prices ranged from 201k to 20a
cents.
With lead demand still exceeding
supply, the domestic price held firm
at 13 cents pound New York. Prices
in the foreign market were reported
as 11A to IL cents pound at Gulf
of Mexico ports.
World demand for foreign zinc,
particularly from South America,
Switzerland, Holland, Belgium and
India, is said to be substantial, and
sales have been made at 11A cents
pound at Gulf of Mexico ports.
The domestic price is firm at 101a
cents a pound East st. Louis.
Silver dropped cents to 76 cents
a pound at New York but held at

Textile Trade Moves
Substantial Volume
Al Premium Prices
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 18.-Fairly SUBJ
stantial amounts of popular con-
structions, including print cloths
sheetings, twills, drills and osna.
burgs, were sold in the cotton tex.
tile market during the past week al
prices ranging from old ceiling lev
els to premiums ofs20 per cent.
Selling houses generally said they
had no trouble disposing of desirable
goods for second quarter delivery
They added, however, that they are
uncertain what buyer response will
be when offerings for the third quar-
ter are made.
Pessimism over buyer price re-
sistance was more pronounced in the
cotton trade than in the textile
industry. But it was reported that
buyers were less willing to pay high
prices for spot goods in the second
hand market. Some quarters said
sales of wide industrial goods are
tagging because Of the uncertain
business outlook.
The wool goods market was quiet
with mills appraising market posi-
bilities for the general offering OF
goods for fall lines for which new
pricing schedules will reflect the re-
cent textile wage increases. Most
trade sources expected little change
in prices except ON quality goods
lines.
Despite heavy buyer demand, ra-
yon goods moved slowly because OF
limited releases by mills.
