Parents Support Community Building
So All Kids Can Have Right Exhibits

in the form of a bond issue at The
Nov. 2 election.
Actually, the building will cost
only 48 cents per $1,000 real
estate valuation, and average
only a little more than $1.50 per
year, per taxpayer.
Hundred Uses
From the way the building is
planned, it might well be called
the building with a hundred
uses. For there are nearly that
many different ways it can be
used.
First and probably most inn
portant, the building will pro-
vide suitable and adequate
quarters for the display of FLA.
All club livestock, clothing and
nutrition exhibits at the Union
County Fair. AS Rowland Bishop,
chairman of the Union County
Agricultural Council and d mem
ber of the Rair Board points out:
Union County has one of the
largest and finest Junior Fairs in
Ohio. This is not idle talk but
from comparative reports as
shown at the annual Fair Man
ayers meeting in Columbus each
January. 1t is a shame that there
is no adequate place now where
this work can be porperly
handled"
Other uses will include:
Farm sales, livestock shows,
farm machinery exhibits, horse
shows, basketball games and
tournaments, banquets, meetings
and conventions of every kind,
concerts, stage performances of

,Sanntarians Play Important Part in
Helping Keep Milk SUPPLIES Pure, Clean

The Health Department would
like to introduce Shoff 0. Daugh-
erty, senior sanitarian with the
Tri-County Unit including Della
ware, Madison and Union Count
les. Mr.. Daugherty divides his
time between the three counties,
and his job is an important and in
teresting one. He inspects each of
the pasteurizing plants distribut-
ing milk and milk products under
a permit at least once a month.
At regular intervals of approx
mately one month samples of raw
milk are taken from the 10 gall
Ion cans of the producers by Mr..
Daugherty, or John Daily, sani-
tartan in this county.
The samples are iced and taken
to the State Health Department
laboratory for analysis. If the
bacteria count is satisfactory, and

"We know it won't cost us near
that much, but we'd gladly give
$40 or more toward the Com
munity Building just so our
daughter may have the right kline
of place for her All club eX-
hibits."
That was the statement made
by one farm mother concerning
the proposed Union County Com
munity Building, last week, when
she was contacted concerning the
project. And that seems to be the
sentiment which most Commun-
ity Building supporters are find
ing as they solicit votes for it.

Mid-State Leage Tie at Stake
In MarysMIIe-St. Mary Game

Tie for either first or second
place in the current Mid-State
League standings will be at stake
for Marysville High School, Sa-
turday night, when the Monarchs
go to Marion to take on the
fapidly-improving st. Mary team.
The game will be played Sa-
turday night, instead of Friday,
because st. Mary plays its home
games in the Harding High
School stadium, and Harding has
a home game for this Friday
If Marysville should chance
to defeat st. Mary, it will put
the locals in a tie for first place
with undefeated Carey. But if
the Irish should win Saturdays
set-tc-and this is no remote
possibility-then it will put Ma
rysville and st. Mary in a tie for
second place.
Grimes Only One Out
Physically, the Monarchs
should be in good condition for
their game this Friday. Loren
Grimes, forbidden by his physi-
clan to do anything in last Fri
days London game except kick
off and kick the points after
touchdown (Which he actually
got to do once) is still playing
under the same stringent pro-
visions.

Football Season Half Over Carey
Seems Power in Mid State League

With the high school football
season half over, Carey has ap-
parently established itself as the
outstanding team in the Mid
State league. The Blue Devils"
are currently undefeated. They
played both Friday and Saturday
nights, defeated Plymouth 53-7
and Leipsic $50.
They are sparked by light but
fast charging line and although
they have lost such stars as Den
nison and Orions from last year,
they seem none the worse for it.

ville's Monarchs appear to be

fighting it for second place. Some
light will be thrown on this sub
ject after their meeting Saturday
night in Marion. ST. Marys was
beaten 40-27 by Carey and has
lost close games to Lima st. Rose
and Columbus st. Marys. A boy
by the name of Merchant is back
field mainstay of the Irish.
Redwood has a powerful back
field and is sporting a 81 record
at the present time. Fullback
Vernon Chapman led the Tigers
to a 1876 victory over Mt. Gilead
Friday but he will be extended to
the limit in Thursdays game with
Carey. Chapman is probably the
best back in the league but is
handicapped by an inexperienc-
ed, light line.
Mt. Gilead is the Aoor- of
the League at the present time
but even they have their bright
spot. He is a big fullback named
Lancaster who would fit well into
any other league teams back
field.
Marysville could add a great
deal of prestige to its record by
beating st. Mary's, Saturday, but
after last weeks performance
against London that looks far less
certain than it had been up to
that time.

traditional and exciting Lesginka
the sword dance of the Cos
sacks-which he had learned as
boy in the Kuban. To the ac-
compartment of weird rhythm
chanted by the chorus, Solo
duhin juggles a dozen knives,
then tosses them from his fore
head, shoulders and clenched
teeth in a presentation that holds
concert audiences quite breath
less. 1t is this daring exploit,
climaxed by a whirlwind hopak
by the same Soloduhin, that
brings cheers from the audience
without which Platoff Don
Cossack program has yet to
close.
Col. Tim Mccoy, the famous
movie star, discovered Solo
duhin teaching in a riding a.
cademy in Santa Barbara few
years ago and gave him parts in
his movies, Tor Soloduhin is one
of the most hard riding Cossacks
of legend. When Col. Mccoy
joined the Ringing Circus few
years ago he took Soloduhin with
him and the colorful Cossack
gave audiences a never-to-be-for-
gotten thrill when he slung him
self under his horses belly, as
the Cossacks use to do in COM
bat, and charged down the hip
podrome track, firing blanks
from his shotgun.
The Chorus consists of q Rus
slams from the region of the
River Don in southern Russia,
under the direction of Nicholas
Kostrukoff. Their dress is the
military uniform of the Co.'S
sack soldier. They are nationally
famous for their singing of the
liturgical music of the Russian
Orthodox Church, Russian folk
songs, Cossack melodies, battle
songs, and dances. Most of the
chorus members received their
early training in the cathredals
of pre-SovietRussia, and their
approach to all of their church
music has religious note which
never failed to impress the aud
ience. The Chorus is proud of
the fact that the incompatible
Chaliapin expressed his great ad-
miration for the Chorus when he
heard them sing the Cathedral in
SalZburg.
Nicholas Kostrukoff has train
ed every member of the Chorus
himself. He uses their voices as
the organist uses the different
stops of a pipe organ. Il as a
self-taught musician" he says,
but then,, every Cossack is born
with a soul for his music-and
by his music l mean the tradit-
ional folk music of the Cossacks
There are many varieties of Cos
sacks, as you may gather-we are
of the Don or Kuban, or the Ural
Mountains, or the Caucasus.
the Don Cossacks, and every
member of my Chorus is a Cos
sack born and bred. The music
we give, song or dance, is ira
ditional, and it has been sung
or danced in the manner in which
we present it for the past three
centuries"
