IN MEMORIAM
OF URCIL SHAW

In loving memory of our dear
wife, mother and sister, Urcil
Shaw, who passed away October
5, 1947.
This day brings back sad memo
ries
Of a loved one laid to rest,
And those who think of her each
day,
Are the ones who loved her
best.
Often to your grave we go
With flowers to place with
gentle care
Over the one we loved so dearly,
Who sleeps so peacefully there.
Nobody knows the pain she bore
Beneath the smile she always
wore;
She never complained, she was
not that kind;
Just one of those persons so
hard to find.
A happy home we once enjoyed;
How sweet the memory still;
But death has left loneliness
The world can never fill.
Sadly missed by
Mr.. Floyd Shaw
Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Shaw
1t* Sisters and family.

yard line where a clipping pen
atty (the only penalty called a
gainst Marysville the entire
game) set them back to the Al
and stopped their threat.
Exciting Third Quarter
Bellfontaine struck early after
the second half started. Marys-
vile kicked off, and the chef
tains started out from their own
20. Two passes from Dearwester
to Cooper ate up the yardage in
hurry and it was first down for
Bellefontaine on the Marysville
4-yard line.
Here, the Monarchs dug in to
stage one of the most spectacular
goal line stands ever seen. For
four successive plays, the Chief
tans battered at the Marysville
line, and when the series of
downs was over, they had gained
to the Marysville /.
On the next play, instead of
electing to punt sout of danger,
the Monarchs chose to run the
ball and Howard Hill fumbled it
on the Marysville 5-yard line.
1t was recovered by Bellefon-
taine, the only Monarch tumble
recovered by the foe during the
entire game.
This time, the Cheftans were
not to be denied and Fullback
Cira slammed across from the
three-yard line. Dearwester'
place-kick was good and Belle
fontaine was leading, 10. g.

Illiteracy in Cities

nliteracy in Pennsylvania has
shifted from the country to the city,
Pennsylvania State college found in
a detailed population study. On the
basis on census data, 4.3 per cent
Of the urban population is classi-
fed as illterate, compared to S.5
per cent for the rural. Illiteracy is
higher in Pennsylvania than in the
nation as whole, although the rural
population of the state has a
smaller percentage that cannot read
or write than the rural population Of
the nation.

New Telephone
Directories in Mail
Continued from PAGE ID
Two Marysville Lists

Two MarYsville Lists
In both the '07 and '09 books,
subscribers living in Marysville
were listed separately from rural
subscribers on the Marysville
exchange. This was made neces-
sary because of the rural party
line arrangements. And instead
of giving the mail route of rural
subscribers as today's directory
does, the old books listed the
names of the roads upon which
the country folks resided.
Another feature in the old di-
rectories which might have come
in handy at that was numerical
listing of all subscribers. This, OF
course, made it an easy matter to
find out whose number was
which, in case one was told to
Call such and such number"
or saw a want ad in the local
| papers giving only phone num-
Der and wanted to know who it
was.
The telephone company was
then locally owned, with N. E.
Liggett, president; H. E. Conk-
right, secretary; and w. c. Full
lington, treasurer.
/ Old Numbers Still Found
In both the 1907 and 1909
books, even in the alphabetical
listing, persons numbers were
given first, in a bold face type,
followed by the name and address
in light face. Today, of course, the
name is given first, followed by
the address and number.
Remnants of the old numbers
in those directories may still be
those who have had telephones
found in the present numbers of
ever since.
For instance, The Journals
number used to be 129. 1t re-
manned thus until 1928, when the
United Telephone Co. began a
modernization and expansion, and
added semi-automatic type of
switchboard. AT that time, the
company added exchanges, but
kept as much of the old numbers
as possible and The Journals S
humber became Canal 4429.
Several years later, as installation
of dial phone was started in Mil
ford Center and other exchanges,
the words were dropped as ex-
change designations and replaced
with a number at the end. This
made it 4-4291 for the Journal.
More recently, that first figure
and the hyphen have been
dropped for all Marysville num-
bers, so today it is just 4291.
Similarly, the Sheriff's number
at the Jail used to be 103. Pro-
gressively, since then, it has been
Canal 4603, 4-6031, and 6031.
Advertising in 1909
The 1907 telephone directory
contained no advertising, but by
1909 this innovation had been a
dopted locally and there were
many firms whose ads were
scattered throughout the direc-
tory. They were:

ut Thirteenth and Farragut streets
NV, as the defendant was return
ing his empty bus to the company
garage.
Judge Andrew M. Hood, who wrote
the appellate courts ruling, upheld
a charge by Defense Counsel r. Sid
|ney johnson that Judge Margold
erred In instructing the jury on the
element Of the bus speed at the time
of the crash.
Mr.. johnson had objected to the
judges statement to the jurors that,
If they found Prezzi was driving at
an immoderate speed, II can't see
how in the name Of common sense
that was not the cause of the acci-
dent"

Capital Of Riviera Has
Long Interesting Past

Nice, the fourth largest city in
France and the capital of the Ri
viera, has had a long and interest
ing past. Founded in the 9th cen
fury B. c., it still preserves the
name Nice-Victory, bestowed on it
then by the conquering Greeks.
The Greeks had their settlement
on the water front, around the port,
and on the slopes of Mont Boron
and the hill on which the castle was
built later. After the Greeks came
the Romans, who further developed
the town and established on the
heights of wooded Cirniez a patri-
clan colony, with a palace for the
emperor, Julius Caesar, temples to
Diana and Apollo, luxurious baths
and an amphitheater, ruins of the
latter still exist. After the fall of
the Roman empire, Nice suffered
many vicissitudes; it was pillaged,
ravaged, taken and retaken by war
ring factions throughout the Middle
ages and the centuries following,
until in 1860 it was definitely ceded
to France by the House of Savoy.
AS holiday resort, both in sum-
mer and winter, Nice is ideal. Lux
urious palace hotsls are mostly to
be found facing the lovely Belle des
Anges.

Prior to the reign of Mohammed
Ally, Egyptian agriculture depended
mainly on winter crops irrigated by
the annual Nile river food. This
great reformer brought about an
agricultural revolution by introduce
ing in Egypt an intricate system Of
perennial irrigation in order to in
crease those areas allocated to
summer crops. Mohammed Aly's
successors developed this method
to such an extent that perennial
irrigation alone now fills the needs
of the apidly increasing population
of the Nile valley This Sytem ne
cessitates the storing of an ade-
quate supply of water in summer,
which IS possible only through the
construction of series of dams
and reservoirs, many of which are,
or will be, located in the upper
regions Of the Nile The completion
of future projects of this type will
require enormous expenditures,
which Egypt alone can afford to
spend. The benefits of these expen-
ditures, however, will go to Egypt
and the Sudan.
