So far as the game itself is
concerned-Well, the MonarchS

full homecoming.
Let's Forget Last Year
Of course, Marysville was
supposed to have defeated London
last season-by as much as three
touchdoWns some said-but last
years team talked a better game
in the bus on the way to London
than it played on the field after
arriving at the Madison County
seat, and London won by a COM
Portable margin.
Consequently, Coach Paul
Wenzel is being mighty cautious
in his statements this year despite
the fact that this years London
team is apparently the weakest
that school has had in years.
So far this season, the Red
Raiders have won only one game,
60 victory over West Jefferson
in their first game of the season.
Their second game was a score
less tie with Mechanicsburg,
which Marysville defeated 42-7.
Since then, London has lost to
Greenfield and Urbana by siz-
able margins.
One Senior on Squad
Part of the London weakness
rises from lack of experience,
since there is but one senior on
the entire squad. The Raiders
are also lighter this year than
usual, and lack the speedy half
back and hard-driving fullback
which they always seem to come
up with every season.
So far as the Marysville team
is concerned, the Monarchs
should be in good shape with a

Cost of the purposed Union
County Community Building, to
be voted upon Nov. 2, will be
average only a little more than
S1.5O per year for each taxpayer
in the county, it was brought out
during meeting of the Union
ounty Agricultural Council,
Tuesday evening.
In order to finance the pur-
posed bond issue, a tax levy of
only .48 of a mill will be required
for 16 years, according to figures
from Auditor Frank t. McCurdy.
This figures at less than so cents
per person, and only slightly
more than S1.50 per the average
taxpayer of the county. On a
dollars and cents basis, it amounts
to 48 cents per eacr $1,000 of real
estate valuation.
Besides the 33 organizations
which comprise the Union County
Agricultural Council, sponsoring
group behind the project, the
building already has the written
endorsement of five organizations
and others are being received
daily. Those which have already
endorsed the building are the
Union County Ministerial As
sociation; Union Post. No.79,
American Legion; Union County
Medical Association; Marysville
Business Mems Association; The
Kings Daughters; and the Taylor
Better School Club.

Board Rescinds
Earlier Request
For School Levy
Old Tax Has Year
To Run: Home Children
To Receive Hot Lunches

Resolution resembling its earli-
er action requesting a vote on a
two-mill levy this autumn was
officially adopted by the Marys-
vile Board of Education during
its regular October meeting, Mon
.day night.
The action was taken because
it has been learned by the Board
that a 2-mill levy which had been
thought to expire this year actual
ly has another year to run. This
being the case, the schools here
have no need to ask for any tax
levies this year and SO the Board
completed its official necessary
action asking the Board of Elec-
tions to remove its proposed levy
renewal from the ballots.
During the meeting, the Board
voted to furnish hot lunches in
both cafeterias to all Children's
Home children at cost to the
Home of 1914 cents per lunch.
Regular price is 25 cents.
Budget is Approved
This action was taken at the
, request of the Children's Home
Board of Trustees. This group
had approached the School Board
in the belief the school was re-
quired to serve certain number
of free meals in order to qualify
for federal aid and participate in
the surplus commodity program.
The Trustees asked the School
Board to provide the Home chill
dren with free meals in case the
required number of free meals
were not already being served.
Budget for the Marysville
Schools, as approved by the
County Budget Commission, was
accepted by the Board. 1t provides
1.5 mills for bond retirement pur-
poses, one-half mill less than a
year ago. For current operating
expenses, the budget provides Az
mills within the 10-mill limita-
ton and mills outside.

ployed. Lee Dewitt chairman of
the Agricultural Councils build
ing committee, told of the pro-
gress which has been made in the
campaign and outlined plans
which are to be put in effect.
Speakers Bureau Used
Several groups throughout the
county have already availed
themselves of the speakers bur-
eau which has been set up to pro-
vide any organization with some
one who can discuss the project.
While the Agricultural Council
was meeting Tuesday night, Mr..
Dewitt pointed out, speakers from
the bureau were addressing seven
other meetings in various parts OF
the county. t...s.-..-
Otto Rausch, Darby Township,
told the group he has started a
house-to-h canvass there on
behalf of the project. He reported
nearly everyone he has contacted
as being in favor of the building
especially when they learn how
little it will actually cost.
Presiding at the meeting was
Rowland Bishop, chairman of the
Agricultural Council, who con-
tributed much information con-
corning publicity on the project
and uses of the building.

presented in the Agricultural
Council, and their representatives

County Schools
Operate In Red

Considerable misunderstanding
has arisen among several school
districts in Union County, as the
result of an article published in a
Z recent issue of The Journal, show
ing school operating costs f~r The
past year.
This article indicated that all
schools, including several which
are asking the voters to approve
operating tax levies at the Nov. 2
. election, had a favorable balance
at the end of the school year. Ac-
tually, four of the schools had
deficits in their general operat-
ing fund for the school year just
past.
Technically, these schools did
end the year with balance, but
this balance included reserves
built up for bond retirement and
the sinking fund, and such money
cannot be touched for current
only for the purpose intended, no
operation costs. 1t can be used no
matter how great the sinking
fund balance might be or how
desperate the need for that money
elsewhere.
Four schools are in exactly this
predicament. They are:
Chuckery-Darby, with an over
draft in the current operating
fund of $6Sl6.35; Leesburg-Mag-
netic, $2496.85 ''in the red";
Liberty Local, with deficit of
S3O45. .48; and Washington Local,
$4359.68 overdrawn.
All four of these schools are
asking voters in their districts to
approve operating levies this fall
and for good reason: all four of
them will just 60 that much
further "in the hole" this year
unless the levies are approved.

9 Form Cldims Pdid
In Union County

The Industrial Commission of
Ohio reports that they paid nine
claims to employees of Union
County farmers during l947 for a
total of n man hours lost. Union
County had 1875 farms that pro-
tected their employees with work
mans compensation. This was an
increase of 42%o over the previous
year. According to the latest
figures there are 2242 farms in
Union County. Of this number
1882 employ one or more people
during the year. Therefore only
11%o of the farms that hire help
during the year are adequetly
protected against accidents.

"The Light Eternal" is a Bib
lical dramatization in which many
prominent people in the COM

Wherever this production has
been staged, it has drawn packed

unusual things about this pro-

people taking part, instead of
carrying ordinary burlesque,

will actually play very Important
