Four new tires and other mis-
cellaneous articles were stolen

The burglars entered the fill
ing station by breaking the glass
in window and unlocking it.
They left through the same win
dow.
Jesse Cook, operator of the

Pleasant Time Saturday
Against Pleasantville, Marys-
vile had a pleasant time of it,
Saturday afternoon. The Men
archs simply had too much of
everything-height, speed and "a
bility-for their opponents. Sub
stitues played most of the second
half for Marysville or the score
might have been much greater.
Marysville held an II to 6 first
quarter lead, and had the margin
doubled, 90 to IA, at half-time. By
the end of the third period, the
count stood at 46 to 25. Jerry
Kingsmore and Dean Scheiderer
each got five baskets for 10 points
for the Monarchs.
Plain City encountered a lit
tie tougher brand of competition
from Galena, of Delaware county,
but spurted to an ii point victory
in the final stanza. The Scotties
were in front Is to 6 at the end
of the first period and l9 to IA at
half-time. But Galena closed the
gap in the third quarter momen-
tarily, and the score was knotted
at 1928 with the quarter about
half over, the Scotties took fire
again and the score was % to %
at the end of the period. Jordan

Plain City with Is points each.

SCIOTO CONSERV VANCYPLAN
REVIVED; COUNTY AFFECTED

There is every evidence that
the o-Sandusky Conservancy
district plan, long dormant, is
now being revived and that the
plans for control of floods will
soon get under way.
Union county is one of the IT
counties which will be included
in the tax assessments which
have been authorized to build
and maintain the district.
The district will be similar to
those operated in the Miami and
Muskingum conservancy areas. A
dam is contemplated in Big
Darby at about the point where
Little Darby joins the larger
stream.
Cuts Damage
Completion of the reservoirs
planned for the Scioto Valley not
only would control flood waters
such as swept destruction over
Columbus and other places along
its banks in 1918, but would cut
down the flood damage in Ohio
and Mississippi as well.

New Milford Minister
Well Liked By His People

After being pastor at the Dun
kirk Methodist church for the last
seven years, Rev. ]. M. Gambill
is leaving Thursday, Feb. 27, for
his new pulpit at Milford Center,
near Marysville.
His new assignment will begin
there Sunday when he will
preach his first sermon to the
Milford Center congregation.
Rev. Gambill, who has been as
sociated with all civic affairs in
Dunkirk and instrumental in
many church gatherings, will be
greatly missed by the community
that has come to know him as a
great leader.
At last Sundays services, when
Rev. Gambill delivered his last
sermon at Dunkirk, he had 10
