Editors Note: This is the first
of a series of illustrated stories
which will appear in The Union
County Journal describing the
baske etball teams of Union County
as they stack up at this time.
Each coach in the County has
been requested by the Journal to
have his squad photographed
free of charge at the Stanton
Studio--as quickly as possible so
that all u schools having basket
ball teams may be included in this
series.)

''We may not have quite
enough speed to repeat for the
title this year, Coach Griffith
said, 'but we'll be right up in
there when the chips are down.
"The way it looks now, were
going to have a good team here
at Broadway, although we may
not repeat for the championship"
Coach Griffith believes Rich
wood, Watkins and possibly York,
will be the teams to beat in the
final running. s
One at Time
But we're going to play 'em
one game at a time, he adds. "And
every time We'll be playing 'em
to win, even though we may not
always accomplish this. Our goal
is that trip to Westerville again
this year"

SEEKS TO PREVENT
BUILDING GARAGE
Mrs. Irene Ell Asks
Interpretation of Law

Action has been brought by
Irene Ell against Charles A.
Trenor, John A. Trenor and May
or William Asman, asking for
declaratory judgement and in
junction based on the village in
duStrial zoning ordinance.
The defendants, Charles A.
Trenor and John A. Trenor, own
a lot just east of the plaintiffs
property on E. Fourth St, and are
considering erecting permanent
building, sales room and garage
on the lot. They are at present en-
gagged in the business of selling
and repairing new and used auto
mobiles in Columbus.
The plaintiff states that the
wording of Section one, para
graph three, Said industrial zone
shall consist of all territory of
said village adjoining the New
York Central Railroad and the
Big Four Railroad and not more
distant from the lines of either of
said railroads than 1000 feet" is
ambiguous and therefore asks
that the court determine its
meaning.
In case the court finds the
property to be in a residential
district, Mrs. Ell asks that defen-
dant, William Asman, Mayor, be
restrained from issuing building
permit to Charles A. Trenor and
John A. Trenor. Luther Liggett
is attorney for the plaintiff.

The surrey with the fringe on top
you've heard a lot about that in the
last year or two on the radio-but
what you haven't heard of is the
surrey of Walter Augsburger's that
brought $40 at the community auc-
tion at Kidron, in Wayne county a
week ago.
The surrey, a rubber tire job, was
bought by Augsburger back at the
time of the first World war and has
been standing in his buggy shed for
years.
While surreys in the Bluffton area

are little more than museum pieces,
there is . good market for them in
the Amish communities in Wayne
and Holmes counties Of eastern Ohio.
The surrey, trundled down to Kidron
was put up at the weekly community
auction and aItho perhaps little too
fancy for some of the plain people,
it was bid in BY an Amish farmer who
has doubtless by this time put it to
good use.
Promoter of the Kidron auction,
one of the largest of its kind in the
state, is S. C. "Cy" Springer, former
Bluffton college student who has
made the weekly auction one of the
statewide note.

that:
"On last Saturday William LLOYD
Garrison Murray of Bluffton had his
brother Med to haul him to Mt. Cory
where he took the train for Findlay
and purchased marriage certificate
which read Miss Carrie E. Ramsey
of McComb and w. L. G. Murray of
Bluffton.' He came back to the P. A.
Y w. railroad crossing and walked
into Bluffton. Sunday, bright and
early he went to Leipsic and the
couple were married. Congratula-
tions, of course are in order"
Mr.. and Mrs. Murray now living
on South Main street celebrated
their Golden wedding anniversary
two years ago last summer.
