Galloway Store
Now Partnership
Firm Among Oldest
Businesses in MarYsville

Reorganization of the Galloway
Shoe store, one of -Marysville's
retail business firms, has been
completed to make it a partner
ship, Frank w. Galloway an
nounced today.
To be known hereafter as the
Galloway Shoe Co., the partner
ship will include Frank w. Gal
loway, Arthur W. Galloway and
Clarence M. Specs.
The business was first opened
in Marysville on Aug. 80, 1906
and has continued its entire AZ
years in the same location on
the Public Square.
With Firm Is Years
Mr.. Specs has been in the store
FOR 16 years while Arthur Gallo
way joined the store in 1945
following his discharge from the
NAVY. Also associated in the
store is Miss Rita Gibson, who
has been in Mr.. Galloway's en-
ploy since 1912.
During his AZ years in the
shoe business, Mr.. Galloway has
always followed the policy of
selling nothing but nationally adj
vertised lines of shoes, thus in
suring the people of Union
County good quality merchandise.
The stores motto has been,
'Not how cheap, but how good
:. more by the pair, less by the
year"
Careful Shoe Fitting
Since the very first, Mr.. Gallo
way has stressed careful fitting of
shoes, through the best measur-
ing devices obtainable. His store
was the first in this section to
add X-ray shoe fitting. For the
past eight years, a foot doctor has
been coming to the store periodi-
cally, adding considerably to their
knowledge of fitting shoes.
These same progressive poll
cieS will be continued by the firm
under its new organization. The
reorganization of the business
includes all stores operated by
them in other cities.

ReformatorY's Fall Festival Of
l948 is Clever, Good Entertainment

Fall Festival of 1948", the fast
moving musical revue presented
by the inmates of the Ohio he
formatory for Women, opened for
a l2-day run at the Institution,
Wednesday night.
AS had been anticipated, an
over flow crowd was on hand for
the first performance. The show
will continue through Nov. %,
with matinees this Sunday,
Thanksgiving day and the next
Sunday. All other performances
will be in the evening.
Those who have seen previous
shows at the Reformatory are
unanimous in the opinion that this
years is by far the best the girls
have ever put on. In every detail
costumes, settings, precision of
the dances, quality of singing, and
plain clowning-the presentation
is excellent.
Old Favorites Back
Many of the entertainers who
were so popular with the audienc-
es last year are in Fall Festival
of 1948". Much new talent has
been added this year, however,
and the newcomers contribute
their share toward the over-all
success.
AS is always the case, it is hard
to realize that the entertainers
are actually inmates of correc-
tional institution, none of whom
had ever been on the stage else
where. None has ever had dramat-
ic instruction or experience out
side the Institution.
Despite this, the dancing is
skilled, the singing is good and
those taking part in the comedy
numbers are as much "at home"
on the stage as a professional en-
tertainer. The dancing choruses
are unusual in their precision
drills.
5000 Saw Last Years
Last years show played to more
than 5000 persons. Reformatory
officials hope this years crowds

.Monarchs Start
Practices for
l948-'49 Season
Only One Returns
From Last Years Team:
First Game Dec. 8

Initial practices for their 1948-
'49 campaign were being held this
week by the Marysville High
School basketball squad and
Coach Warren Widner. First
game of the season will be Dec.
8, when London comes here.
Although last years squad was
riddled by graduation, prospects
for this years team are above
average, Coach Widner believes.
"Our principal trouble this sea-
son will be lack of experience"
he said today. We'll lose several
games as result of it, but the
future picture is good.
''The boys are fast-probably
quicker than last years team
and several of them are good
shots
One From Last Year
Only one returning from last
years central district co-cham~
pionship team is John Dayton,
6 fit. 3 in. senior, who plays
guard. Strongest defensive play
er on the team last year, Dayton
was especially, effective in his
rebound work under the bank
boards. Steady and calm, "Big
Jawn" will be the co-ordinating
factor of this years team.
Moving up. from last years
slick reserve team are Harold
(Curly) Hill, senior this year;
Bill Boyd, Loren Grimes and Bill
Worthington, juniors; and Chas.
McCracken, Buddy Hoffman and
John Evans, sophomores.
Hill and Hoffman both won
varsity letters last fall, both see
ing enough experience with the
varsity toward the end of the
season for the award. All the
others displayed enough ability
as members of the reserve squad
to keep Mr.. Widner from doing
too much worrying about the
Marysville basketball prospects
for the next couple of seasons.
Considerable Height
Although not as tall as last
years skyscraper outfit, this
years Marysville team will have
considerable height, too. Besides
Dayton's 6 ft. 3 in, McCracken
is g. 1h" and still growing while
Boyd is an even 6 ft. lin. Hill,
Hoffman and Worthington are
5 ft. IL in, Grimes 5 ft. 101a"
and Evans, S ft. 912 in.
At the present time, Coach
Widner has more than 80 boys
trying out for the squad, but
expects to cut it to IL or 20
boys soon.
The Coach emphasized that
every position is still wide open.
II am not at all certain who
will be considered the first
team or what positions they will
be playing. Right now, I'm wor-
ried about getting them all in
shape for that first game. After
all, it's only a little more than
two weeks away"

ATLANTA, July 24.-Southern

Their purpose was to find Q way
to beat President Truman and his
program of civil rights plank In
the National party's platform that
resulted In q Southern political
revolt.
Gov. j. Strom Thurmond Of South

rived last night.
Today's meeting Is to be held be-

Thurmond Optimistic.
Gov. Thurmond was optimistic
about his campaign yesterday. He
is convinced, he said, that there Is
strong Southern sentiment for the
ticket he heads.
"If the Southern people will just
stick together" he declared. they
have the finest opportunity since the
War Between the States to gain the
respect of the Nation"
But Of the strategy meeting TO-DAY,
Gov. Thurmond was silent. He said
any statement would have to be
made after the conference.
One of the problems facing Dixie
Gratis is getting the names of their
candidates on the general election
ballots of the Southern States. 1t
was surmised that this would be
discussed at today's meeting.
