Well, exams are finally over
at least for a while, we hope. We
got our grade cards last Wednes-
day. 1t is really interesting to
note the various expressions on
the kids faces when they receive
their grade cards. Some of them
beam delightfully."- and start
counting up how much money
they will get for each A or A.
Some of the others look rather
sick when they stop to think how
their parents are going to receive
the news, but promise that next
time they'll get on the honor roll
or at least try a lot harder.
The Sophomore girls and the
Senior boys got the scholarship
banners for having the highest
point average. The Sophomore
girls also received the attendance
banner.
The Y-Teen club had its first
meeting of the new semester last

These firearms were design
ed to kill human beings. Criminals

extension project in Marysville
were sold to The Ohio Company,
Columbus investment house, by
Village Council in special meet
ing held Monday evening at City
Hall.
The bonds will carry " per-
Acent interest, and The Ohio Com
pany offered premium of
S216.15. The Columbus concerns
bid was one of IL considercd by
the Solons during their brief ses-
sion.

in Marysville will be increased an
average of 2.51 mills over that per-

ate, and every time a heavy rain
fell, streets and easements all
over town have been flooded.
Very few extensions have been
added to the sanitary sewer sys-
tenn since it was first installed,
and several sections of town built
up since then are without access
to this system. 1t is the purpose
of the project to bring rel ief to
such sections as South Plum and
South Walnut sts., south of the
Big -Four Tracts, and Milford rd.,
beyond the Nestles Milk Products
plant.
That Marysville voters APP
preciated the need of the sewer
project was borne out by the fact
that it carried last November by
a vote of 1899 to 379

MAN KILLED
In ACCIDENT
Joseph c. Ferrell
Rites Planned Friday;
Car Runs Into Truck

Joseph Cecil Ferrell, 30, for
mer resident of near Broadway,
was killed and his wife, Irene,
80, was critically injured when

turning to their home in North
Lima, following weekend visit
at the home of his parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Joseph H. Ferrell, near

under the traffic light at an in

posite direction, ran into the
rear of the tractor-semi-trailer
outfit.
The 28-year-old truck driver
was questioned, then released
pending further investigation. He
told the police he had the green
light, and judged Ferrells dis
tance to be far enough for him
to make the turn safely.
Mr.. Ferrell was pronounced
dead on arrival at hospital, and
his wife is still in critical con-
dition.
A native of Delaware county,
Mr.. Ferrell was born Dec. 21,
1916. He was married five years

THIS WINTER
HURTS ROADS

This winter, and particularly
the last three weeks, may have
been pleasant for those who dis
like the cold, but to County Engi-
neer Claude Skidmore and his
road maintenance crews, it has
been a pain in the nec6.
Repeated heavy freezes, follow
ed by balmy weather and tkaw-
ing, have played havoc with the
500-odd miles of roads in Union
county.
Surfaces of every type have
been damaged by frost boils"
and Mr.. Skidmore declares there
are more boils apparent on all
the roads this year than there
have been for many years"
There has been a great deal of
water in the ground all winter
long, and this has made the frost
boils" more severe than ordinary
Gravel roads are not much of a
problem to repair because pow
er grader can be used to push the
material back into position. Black
top roads present a different pro-
blem. They must be repaired by
hand, and it is sometimes neces-
sary to shovel out five inches of
semi-frozen clay in order to get
down to firm foundation. More
over, frost boils" are apt to re-
occur in the same spot on black
top roads.
"There is still a shortage of
road materials, particularly gra-
vel" Mr.. Skidmore declared, "but
we are doing the best possible with
what we have at hand"
