TRUCKER INJURED
AS VEHICLE UPSETS
Orville Gibson Has
Possible Conclusion

Orville Gibson, driver for the
Stokley Foods Inc, of Celina,
was seriously injured when his
truck upset at midnight Monday,
two miles west of Marysville on
Route 33. Gibson was headed east
when the accident occurred. A
passing motorist picked him up
and brought him into Marysville
to DIR. Albert Johnston's office.
After treatment there, he was
taken to White Cross hospital in
the William H. Faulkner ambu-
lance. Gibson was treated for a
deep cut on his Gin and shock
He suffered possible head con-
cussion and other internal in
jurieS.
Sheriff H. S. Roosa was mott
fled of the accident by Leo Moore
who noticed the truck on the road
as he was returning home. About
the same time, the sheriff said,
Constable Bob Gordon reported
that Gibson had been brought in
to the doctor.
After seeing Gibson, Sheriff
Roosa went to see the truck. Ac
cording to Sheriff Roosa, the
driver lost control of his truck
and went into the ditch, travelled
short distance, drove out of the
ditch and careened across the
road striking culvert. The force
with which the truck struck the
culvert, swung the truck opposite
the way it was headed, and turn
ed it over on its left side.
Buds Wrecker was called out
and after 500 cases of Van Camp
pork and beans were removed
from the truck, it was righted on
its wheels and hauled off the
road.
Sheriff Roosa stayed with the
wrecked truck and its load until
another truck arrived from Ce-
lima to pick up the load, around
g a. m. Tuesday. Considerable
damage was done to the front
axle of the truck when it hit the
culvert. Total damage caused by
the accident was not estimated.

GAME PROGRAM

In keeping with the Autumn
season, the Marysville high school
band has prepared an Indian sum-
mer program for Friday nights
game.
AS always, the evening will
start with the Star Spangled Ban
ner before the opening whistle.
At the half-time the band will
use a new entrance, with the
percussion section entering from
the goal posts and the rest of the
band divided to come in from
both sides of the field.
Once down the field, the band
will form HELLO towards the
Mt, Gilead side, following this
with the formation of MTG. The
band will then step back into re-
gular band positions and march
across the field to the Marysville
side.
While playing Indian Sum
mer," the musicians will make the
outline of a leaf and the twirlers
will string colored crepe paper
around them. After this, they will
change to a formation of a tepee
and will play Indian Love Call"
The program will close with
the M for Marysville and the
Alma Mater, played by the band
. and sung by the fans.

MONARCHS PREP
FOR LEAGUE TILT
AT MT. GILEAD
Locals to Try Comeback
In Final Road Game
For This Season

Still bruised and battered from
their game at London last week,
Marysville high schools Monarchs
will attempt a comeback this
Friday when they go to Mt. Gil
lead for their last road game of
the season. 1t will be a Mid-State
League contest.
While the Indians have not won
a League game so far (both Carey
and Redwood have defeated the
Morrow county lads) the are not
to be taken lightly according to
all reports. Marysville's coach,
Paul Wenzel, has not had Mt.
Gilead secuted this season, but
information he can pick UP indi-
Gates the purple and white to be
much stronger this year than last.
Redwood defeated Mt. Gilead
, 1876, but had the scare of their
young lives thrown into them
before doing so. The Indians
scored first on Redwood, and in
fact held 60 half-time lead. For
nearly the entire first half, the
Redwood team was at bay, and
could get absolutely nowhere
against Mt. Gilead.
Ehlen Quite Impressed"
The second half, Redwood took
to the air and ran the ends to
score three touchdowns. But at
no time throughout the entire
evening could the Tigers pene-
trate the heavy Mt. Gilead line.
A former M. H. S. coach, Jack
Ehlen, who officiated that game,
said he was quite impressed" by
Mt. Gilead.
The Indians employ several
defensive formations, but princip-
ally use a 4-4-2-l defense. Their
principal offensive weopon is a
lad named Campbell, who is a
pretty fair ball carrier and an
excellent passer He is said to be
a threat every time he is handed
/ the ball.
One thing in the Monarchs'
favor for Friday night is their
mental attitude they have snapp-
ed back in good shape after
feat by London and are determin~
ed it shall not happen again.
Stiff Daily Workouts
Wenzel has been putting them
through some stiff workouts all
week long, and has especially
been concentrating on blocking
and speeding UP the timing of the
linemen. The result of this pract-
ice has been gratifying to Wenzel.

'48 AAA PROCRCAM
GIVESCREATER AID
TO SMALL FARMER
More Responsibility Falls
On Local Committeeman
For Carrying Out Plan

The 1948 Agricultural Conserva-
ton program for Union county
now being formulated, will shift
more responsibility to county and
community committeeman and to
individual farmers for assuring
the most soil and water conserva-
ton with available funds.
Naturally with less assistance
from the federal government we
can expect less conservation, but
every effort should be made to get
the most conservation possible for
the funds we do have, Wilby Co.
chenour, chairman of the Union
county Triple A. program, said
today.
Under the 1948 program, Union
county farmers will have more
leeway in adapting program pract-
ices to local needs. The provision
for local practice not included
in the national outline will be
continued this year. Last year
funds for this practice were limit
to to 10 per cent of all county al
locations. This year the county
committee may also select pract-
ice from the national outline but
which is not in the State hand
book. This will mean two local
practices instead of one.
Small farmers will be favored
under the 1948 program due to
the fact that payment to indiv-
idual farmers or corporations are
limited to $500. This means less OF
the county ALLEGATION will be go
ing to large operators and the
available funds will therefore re-
main to assist small operators.
Farmers throughout Uni o n
county should begin now to lay
plans for carrying out conserva-
ton practices under the l948 pro-
gram. In general, assis ia nc e
through the program will con-
tinue to be about so percent OF
the cost of the practice. Farmers
are asked to talk their plans over
with members of the county COM
mittee OF see community commit
teemen, chairman Archer advised

Grade Schools
Hold Their Own
World Series

The world series and other inn
portant baseball games may be
over for most of us but not for
the Fifth and Sixth grade pupils
of the East and West school
buildings in Marysville.
For them, the most important
baseball games of the 1947 season
began last Friday when the East
VS.. West games started
Every year about this time the
boys and girls of the fifth and
sixth grades of these schools pick
their teams to play against each
other. The sixth grade boys
battled out the opening game last
Friday with the East winning S
to 4. Supt H. w. Carr was UNI
pire.
In the girls game, played Mon
day afternoon, the East over
powered the West 16 to 5. Umpir-
ing this game also was Supt. Carr.
The next game will be between
the fifth grade boys of the two
schools, this afternoon.
Helping Mr.. Carr with his job
as umpire are hundred or more
fans who come along with their
teams, Although not as fiery
loyal as Brooklyn fans, they do
a fine job. The games will con-
tinue until three games each have
been played.

BOY, Is MONTHS,
WITH MILD POLIO
Responds to Treatments
In Children's Hospital

Leo Thomas Tommy" Moore,
13-month-old son of Leo and
Claribel (Hervey) Moore, is in
Children's hospital, Columbus,
for treatment for infantile paraly-
sis, diagnosed Tuesday morning
by a local physician. He was
taken to the hospital Monday
evening, where attaches say he
should recover completely.
The little boy, whose sickness
is the fifth case of infantile pa
ralysis in Union county this year,
first became i'll Sunday but his
parents were not alarmed because
they thought he was having a
reaction from a whooping cough
shot he had received Saturday
evening. The illness was exactly
like the reaction he had follow
ing a previous whooping cough
shot.
However, his mother became
suspicious Monday night when
signs of paralysis and distortion
appeared in his face. They took
him to the physician Tuesday
morning and to the hospital as
soon as arrangements could be
completed.
Tommy'S case of polio, hos
pital attendants told his parents,
is a mild one and only one case
out of a hundred fails to respond
completely to modern treatment,
where the case is mild.
Reports that the child had been
i'll with polio in Milford Center,
where he stayed with his aunt
and uncle, Mr.. and Mrs. William
Payne, while his parents were or
vacation last week, are not true.
He did have a mild intestinal
upset on Oct. IL, while in Mil
fard Center, as did both of Mr..
and Mrs. Payne's own children
and several other in the COM
munity. But at no other time was
he i'll while his parents were gone.
Mr.. Moore, who operates milk
route, was given complete ap-
proval by the Union county
Board of Health, to continue his
daily hauling. The Health Board
was contacted by Mr.. Moore to
determine whether or not there
could be any chance of spreading
the polio through his daily con-
facts, and he was told not.
