Amean Springs High School Fields Second Grdon Team In History
Show Promise
u, In Tilt With
Local Jackets

Aurelian Springs-High school
football, which was tried last
fall at Aurelian Springs High
School for the first time, Is ap-
parently here to stay, since
Coach G. E. Crawley has or
gained a 26-man squad with a
lot of potentialities this season
and will be out to give the Azure.
! Ian Springs opposition a run for
its money.
Coach Crawley, whose team
was a freshman in district foot
ball circles just last fall, will
run from plays from a modified
ct" formation and will put his
emphasis on speed and decep-
ton rather than sheer power.
Most of the Aurelian Springs
players are light and fast, and
there are a number Of good for
, ward passers in the backfield
and pass receivers on the ends,
so most people are expecting the
team to take TO the air lanes for
most of its offensive thrusts.
The team already has one
practice game under its belt, q
game played last Tuesday night
with the Class A Roanoke Rapids
Yellow Jackets. The Yellow
Jackets, of course, did most OF
the scoring, but the smaller
| school completely dominated
play in the passing department.
1t was on a well-executed pass
play that the Aurelian Springs
team scored its lone touchdown
against the Jackets.
Ten lettermen from last years
souad will form the nucleus for
Co. III Crawley's team. Team
CAPTAIN Coleman Best, halfback
will be one Of the biggest thorns
in the side of the teams on the
!, Aurelian Springs schedule this
season. Best weighs only 14s
pounds but is fast, and handles
himself well at the line Of scrim-
mage and in the broken field.
Another standout back on the
Aurelian Springs squad this fall
is Shelby Aycock, the fullback
who caused the most grief to the
Yellow Jackets in last weeks
practice scrimmage. Aycock,
who tips the scales at 1877, is an
} eleventh grader who packs plen-
ty of power on line thrusts.
Coach Crawley says he has
two full teams and a few re-
serves, so he will not have the
depth of many of the larger
schools, however. he said he will
probably use the following men
as his starting eleven: Donald
Mohorn at left guard, Linwood
Carter at quarterback, Carlton
murphy at right guard, Shelby
Aycock at fullback, Robert Best
at left halfback, George Warren
at right halfback, Donald Loflin
at center, Cu1toh Garner AT
right end and Gus Bozeman at
left end.
The Aurelian Springs schedule
for the season opens next Friday
when the Halifax County team
will journey into the next county
to play Rich Square on the Rich
Square field. The first home
game for Aurelian Springs will
be on October /, when they play
hosts to the newly-organized
jackson High School team.
The remainder of the Aurelian
Springs schedule is as follows:
October is, open; October %. at
jackson; October 20, South Ed
gecombe; November S, Enfield;
November -, at Colerain; No
vember 10, at South Edgecombe,
November 16 at Littleton.

Employ Handicapped Week Set
Oct. SO; Local Observance Planned

to enlist public support for and
interest in the employment of
otherwise qualified but physically
handicapped workers" AS Will
lam L. Coleman, chairman of the
local NEPH committee puts it,
NEPH Week is part of a year
round campaign to educate the
public to the fact that physically
handicapped persons, if properly
placed, can do as efficient job
as non-handicapped workers.
Among those serving with Will
lam l.. Coleman on the NEPH
Committee are: William Otte
Commander American Legion, Joe
Lentz, Kiwanis Club and Ivar
Beck, Lions Club.
Mayor Kingsmore has officially
proclaimed October third to ninth
inclusive as National Employ the
Physically Handicapped Week ir
Marysville calling upon employ
ters, civic organizations and the
general public to support the
drive to find jobs for handicapped
persons qualified for such jobs by
reason of their skill and expert
ence.
Mayor Kingsmore's proclamat-
ion came on the heels of similar
actions taken by both President
Truman for the nation and Gov
ernor Thomas j. Herbert for the
Buckeye State. Herbert has called
upon "the mayors of cities, the
heads of all instrumentalities o1
Government, business, la boz
farm, religious, educational, vet
Grams, women, civic, fraternal ano
all other groups" to actively par,
ticipate in making the l948 NEPH
campaign "the notable of all OBJ.
servances."

Victory Denied Monarchs as Fast
Worthington Team Wins, 60, Friday

Marysville High Schools Mon
archs, trying for their first vict-
ory over a Worthington High
football team since the schools
became gridiron foes nearly 10
years ago, were again turned
back as the Cardinals registered
a hard-earned 60 win on the
Worthington field, Friday night.
A crowd of Marysville fans
estimated at more than 1000
followed the Marysville team to
Worthington, and it appeared
that there were more Marysville
people than Cardinal followers at
the game. Both high school bands
were there for the game and
turned in excellent performances
The Monarch band, keying its
performance to the recent Union
County Fair, received a tremend-
Gus 'hand" from the crowd and
it was the concensuS of opinion
that the local band stole between

halves honors from Worthington
with ease.
The game itself was a hard
fought affair between two even
ly matched teams. In line-play,
the Worthington team out-charg-
ed Marysville badly especially in
the first half, giving the Cardi-
mails a considerable edge.
Besides the one touchdown
which Worthington scored, both
teams muffed other scoring op-
portunities as each got inside the
others l0-yard stripe on two
occasions. Once, the end of the
first half deprived Worthington
of an almost-certain tally. The
Monarchs drove all the way to
the Worthington 6, only to lose
the ball on downs and again, to
the Cardinal S, only to have a
tumble deprive them of a score.
Both teams displayed a lot of
offensive punch but when the
chips were down they couldn't
make it pay off in points.
The MonarchS looked very good
at times and very ragged at 9TH
ers. The backfield performed
we'll and special praise should
be given to Howard Hill, a new
conner to the squad. Despite his
lack of weight he ran very well
against the powerful Worthing-
ton line.
AS usual Buddy hoffman and
Curly Hill gave the opponents all
they wanted in the way of speed.

Maple St. Surface
Provokes Long Discussion

Discussion of the horrible mess
which passes for the surface of
Maple st. was touched off by the
appearance of r. w. Bigler, man
ager of the Dayton Power &
Light Co., and Lawrence Grubbs,
lineman for the Light Co., both of
whom live on Maple between
Sixth and Seventh SITS. They were
present to complain about the
street and about the fact ap-
parenly nothing is being done
about it, and to urge some sort
of action be taken.
The suggestion of Councilman
William Huffman was partially
responsible for the presence of
Mr.. Bigler and Mr.. Grubbs. AS
Mr.. Huffman explained to his
fellow Solons:
Il think it high time that some
thing be done to get Maple st.
put back in paSsable condition
before someone has an accident
and the town gets sued, and
thought complaints by residents
along the street might help get
things started"
Because of the condition of
Maple st. surface, Council has re-
fused to accept the Maple st.
sewer contract as completed and
has withheld payment of approxi-
the G. H. Leach Construction Co.,
mately $4,000 from the contractor,
Bellefontaine.
Mr.. Leach, about two months
ago, slapped an $4,000 suit against
the City, claiming the reason the
Maple ST. surface went to pieces
was because he was forced by
Council to use an inferior type of
resurfacing
Mr.. Huffman suggested a
counter-suit by the City to force
Mr.. Leach to make the street
right. Il believe, regardless of
where the blame lies, that the
Town would be liable in the event
of damage action" he declared.
Mayor Kingsmore explained
that, within the past week, Viii
lage officials have taken their
initial move to get action in the
matter.
I'VE have written Mr.. eLach
ordering him to get the street
fixed" Mayor Kingsmore said.
IF, within 10 days he does not do
so, then we can legally declare
the original contract forfeit, make
the repairs ourselves and pay for
them out of any money which
may still be due the contractor" )"

Summer Jobs Ending

With winters ice and snow CO.
ming up in the not-too- distant
future the Union County State
Highway Department has been
finishing its summer work pro-
gram and preparing to meet their
aTSDal winter headache of keep
in9the roads clear.
"Our road crews will follow
much the same routine this year
that they have in The past, in
keeping state highways open and
making driving safe as possible
this winter" Vinton Stillings,
superintendent of the Union
County State Highway Garage,
said.
Not many cinders will be used,
although the garage does have a
small stock-pile, Most ice control
work in Union County is done
with salt and grit, the superinten-
dent explained.
400 Tons of Salt.
About 400 tons of salt, to be
applied to highways to melt the
ice, have been ordered. One car
load arrived last week and the
rest will be in by Nov. |, Mr.. Still
lings said. Another 100 tons of
salt are left from last year.
Also on order, to help in ice
control, are between so and rs
tons of chloride and 100 tons of
grit, Coarse sand) to- mix with
the chloride.
Resurfacing Projects
Several re-surfacing projects
are now under way and will be
finished before winter. Mr.. Still
lings says that it is doubtful if
the contractor working on Route
1886 will have that project COM
'pleted this fall and may receive
an additional grant of time
The. west end of Route 36 was
finished this summer and 739
from Route 33 to York Center
was re-surfaced. This road has
Fbeen one of the major headaches
of the department for several
years.
Routes AZ from the Logan coun-
ty line to Somersville and 347
from Broadway to Pharisburg
have also been re-surfaced.

More Odors Reported
From Maple St. Sewer

Holly Brake, Collins ave, was
present to voice his very strong
protest to odors arising from graf
ings installed in front of his home
in connection with the new Maple
|St. sewer.
Mr.. Brake said he blamed the
odor on milk wastes allegedly
being dumped by Nestles Pro-
ducts, Inc. into the storm sewer.
Mr.. OLaughlin, however, said
that, when the Maple st. storm
sewer was being installed the
Collins ave. sanitary sewer was
re-routed so it goes under the
same open grating as the storm
sewer. 1t was the engineers o.
pinion that it is the sanitary
sewer which is causing the offens-

planned.
Il don't know what causes
them" Mr.. Brake said, 'but /
do know we were never bothered
this way before that sewer was
installed and now we can't even
sit on our porch because the odor
is so bad"
While addressing the Council,
Mr.. Brake also declared the Gin
