The entire Western World has

land, the Southern governors are
at this very moment, filling the
propaganda machines of the world
full of adverse criticism of our
country and it's white supremacy
codes. | would just like to peer
into the minds of the peasants of
Europe, Asia and Africa, and just
see the print of their thoughts as
they read about the Dixie rebel
lion against the civil rights pro-
posals.
Well, the third party movement
can take courage in Mr.. Truman's
slap at their presidential aspir-
ant, Henry A. Wallace. Quite as
it is kept, the President has I'M
knowingly, stashed up a mighty
big plug for MI. Wallace by ac-

under cover until election day.

The council last met three weeks
ago when it was decided to con-
centrate on getting a S high a

a poor turnout at the executive

said the program as set up for
the next years would probably
only take care of the areas on
the first two priority lists. The
blanket program must now be
approved by the U. S. Surgeon
General before the state can par
ticipate in the Federal Hospital
Act.
Mr.. Williams said today that
approximately S375,000 is avail
able locally for the Union Coun-
ty Hospital, but this sum is not
adequate to build and equip the
structure planned or deemed
sufficient for the county's needs.
While disappointed at the loss
of Federal aid for the present,
Mr.. Williams expressed hopes
that the grant might be forthcom-
ing after a couple of years.

In a game characterized by rag
gedness most of the way, MaryS-
vile High had little trouble de-
feating Redwood, 1926, in a
Mid-State League basketball
game in the Marysville gymnas-
ium, Friday night. The Reserves
encountered even less opposition,
turned in a 52-11 victory over
the Tiger cubs.
In the Varsity tilt, the Marys-
vile forces failed to display the
slick passing and teamwork
which carried them to convincing
victories over Plain City and
Worthington last week, but made
use of their height to control re-
bounds at both ends of the floor
Consequently, the Redwood team
never had a chance because the
Monarchs had the ball most OF
the time.
Redwood was playing with
out the services of regular for
ward Les Wall, which was con-
siderable of handicap to the
Tigers. His absence appeared to
weaken the visitors team-play,
in addition to depriving them OF
one of their top scorers.
Basket Shooting Off
Extensively, neither team look
ed impressive, and basket shoot
ing was weak. Marysville made
20 out of rs attempts for a per-
centage of only 26.6, while Rich
wood connected on seven of 33
tries, OF Il percent. Against
Worthington the week before,
Marysville hit for 80 percent.
Marysville lost little time in
grabbing the lead, and was never
in danger from start to finish.
The score was ia at the ned
of the first quarter, 2l10 at the
half time, and 37-16 at the end
of the third quarter. With subs
playing nearly all of the final
quarter, Redwood managed to

Schools - Books loaned, 5l3;

adult volumes and 243 for juve-
niles. The adult books included

culation.

Possibility of any immediate
Federal financial assistance in
the construction of the proposed
Union County hospital became
exceedingly remote following
public hearing on the State Hos
pital Advisory Council priority
system, held in Columbus last
Thursday. This priority sets up
q schedule for allocating the
S13, 100000 Federal funds all
ready appropriated for Ohio, and
covers a two-year period.
Paul c. Williams, member of
the Union County hospital Board,
attended the hearing and report
ed the local project was practic-
ally excluded by the priority sys-
tenn as it was approved.
Union County was grouped in

the Columbus area, which is said
to have from 56.6 to 54.5 per-
cent of its hospital needs met
with existing facilities. The Col
umbus area is in Group 3 on
the list, which also includes
Painesville, Lorain-Elyria, New

Delaware, Gallipolis, Coshicton,

Although Union County has no
hospital, the Councils program
evidently operates on the theory
that needs of Union Countians
can adequately be met by Col
umbuS, Delaware, Kenton or

LACK OF TRUSTEES

Repair work on the West jack

being held up because of the
shortage of steel trusses, it was
reported today by County En-
gineer l.. W.. LleWellyn. Mr.. Lew

Bridge Co., of Wellington is to
furnish the trusSes and workers
to oversee the bridge construct
ion but has not yet been able to
get materials.
He added that they did not
expect the company to continue
the work until sometime in March,
and the bridge would not be
opened for public use until May.
In August of last year, repre-
sentatives of the Champion
Bridge Co., expecting quicker
sources of materials, signed a
contract for erecting the bridge
in December. Working according
to this date" Mr.. Llewellyn said,
county employees hurried to fin

completing their work by Dec.
