Iany Insurance Claims

Many Insurance Claims
Insurance offices in the coun-
ty have received numerous small
claims for broken windows and
damaged roofs and expect even
more. Cases of majcr damage
were not nearly as numerous al
though many barns in the county
were twisted or moved from their
foundations by the strong winds.
Destruction was not limited to
any certain section of the county
but some believed the storm to
be more serious about five miles
south of Marysville.
Among some of the more SER
ious instances was the Lewis Bal
lard farm, two miles south of
Peoria, where a barn was blown
off its foundation, corn crib blown
completely down and his home
damaged. Another bad case re-

were naturally a bit skeptical.
Since that levy, citizens of the
County have pledged cash to the
extent of S250,000, a sure sign
that the need for a hospital is
fully realized.
The Bond Issue of 1914 pro-
vided for $125,OOO of which $780,

sold since the funds have not
been needed. Expenses incurred
thus far have come entirely from

the Henderson home removed

approval of completing the pro-
ject is secured from the voters.

The pressing need for a Union
County Hospital becomes more
apparent each day. City hospitals
are badly crowded, patients must
often be asked to leave before
they feel so disposed and the dis
tance has many times proven a
disastrous hardship.

COAL STRIKE CUTS OFF TWO TRAINS HERE
County Suffers Heavy
Loss from Wind Friday

ported was the Herman Schwartz
walder hame about a mile north
west of New California, where a
small tool shed was blown across
the highway into the front of the
house, doing considerable dam
age.
Utilities Hit Hard
Marysville exchange of The u
nited Telephone Co. was hit hard
according to Manager Willard c.
Palmer who reported that fol-
lowing the storm, Marysville had
no long distance lines working
and had three Marysville cables
to repair. Mr.. Palmer estimated
that 100 poles would need repair
or replacement.
Areas in Marysville without
phone service until late Friday
afternoon were London ave-, Col
Inns ave. and Third street and
vicinity, and several hundred
rural phones. In most places
phone service has been repaired.
Workmen continued to work on
Sunday so service could be re-
stored as quickly as possible.
Ralph w. Bigler, manager of
the Dayton Power and Light Co.
stated, "It's the greatest wind
damage we've ever had in this
area" He added that no trans
mission lines were down but est
imated that 40 utility poles had
been broken off by the storm.
Most electric failures were caused
by lead wires breaking on in
dividuala properties, --s..s..
Perhaps the lighest hit of the
local utilities was the Union Rur-
al Electric. Carl Jenny, manager,
said that since the local set-up is
comparatively new, it stood the
storm with little damage. Most
of the trouble they had with their
lines was caused by wires cross
ing and twisting, he added.

Communication and electric
lines, homes and other buildings
in and around Union County were
damaged Friday in one of the
most severe wind and rain storms
that the County has ever wit
messed.
Following the storm, which
lasted less than one hour at
its most destructive stage, res
idents could survey wind-torn
roofs, uprooted trees, broken u
tility poles and twisted and brok-
en- electric wires in most any
direction.
Such a storm has not hit Ma

cording to weather records in the

MARYSVILLE ELIMINATED BY LOCKLAND
WAYNE IN REGIONAL GAME THURSDAY

The 1943 basketball season
came to an abrupt end for Marys-
vile High Schools Monarchs,
Thursday evening, as they were
eliminated by Lockland Wayne
in the opening game of the
Springfield regional tournament
The game was played before more
than 1000 persons, more than
half of them from Marysville, in
the big Wittenburg field house
and the final score was 1925.
Wayne was in turn eliminated
by the strong Eaton outfit from
Preble County, Saturday night,
1914. Eaton won the right to
meet Wayne by edging Enon, OF
Clark County, in an overtime
thriller, Friday.
The Monarchs grabbed an early
40 lead on a dribble-in shot by
Harry Evans and a beauty of a
long by Johnny Dayton, and it
appeared for time that Marys-
vile might take their favored op-
ponents from near Cincinnati into
camp.
Lead Entire First Half
Dave Shepherd canned d re-
bound shot, then Jerry Kings
more and Evans each got a free
throw for the MonarchS, to make
the count 6-2. Rudy Singleton,
probably the outstanding player
on tn e all-Negro Wayne team,
dunked in peach from the cor
ner of the floor just as the quar-
ter ended, with the score GA.
AS the second stanza opened,
Kingsmore got a basket and free
throw for the Monarchs, and a
bit later Moore counted for Wayne
with a long one. Wall then can
ned a free throw, Evans dribbled
in for a bunny shot and Wall
dropped in another from the foul
line to give the Marysville crew
1876 lead, their biggest of the
game. Shepherd and Moore each
got a basket for Wayne before
the quarter was over, and the
half ended with the Monarchs
leading, 1910
The early moments of the third
quarter looked like Marysville
might keep the edge she held
throughout the first half as Evans
broke into the clear under the
basket on a perfectly-eXecuteo
play, and Kingsmore added anoth'
er point on a charity toss. That
gave the Monarchs a 1910 leao
and seemed to be enough to wake

'KEGLERS HERE WIN
POWER CO. MEET

Bowling team of the Marysville
district office of The Dayton
Power & Light Co. walked off
with first place in the recent all
Power Co. bowling tournament
held at the Centennial Lanes in
Piqua. The Marysville keglers
bowled 1923, 80 pins more than
last years winning score and 108
better than this years second
place team, Piqua.
Members of the Marysville
team are Neil Coakley, Gerald
Brodbeck, George Geddes, c. E.
Smith and j. B Smith. Geddes
was also the high individual
bowler in the Power Co. tourna-
ment with I'll, 179, 200 - 500.
The victory gives the Marys-
vile district team a leg on the
Power Co. bowlers' trophy, with
teams needing three wins for
permanent possession. Piqua No.
/, runner-up to the Marysville
boWlers this year, won the even
last winter, and Piqua's captain,
Gerald Maui, presented tn e
trophy to c. E. Smith, represent
ing the Marysville team.
In all, 10 teams participated in
the event from Piqua, Sidney,
Preble, Urbana, Dayton and Cold

Wayne Takes Over in Third
Elmer Bolds got two free throws
and Singleton and Moore each
got basket for Wayne to tie
the score at 16-all. Kingsmore
put the MonarchS back in the
lead briefly with a free throw,
but that was the last time during
the game the locals were in front.
After Jerry's foul shot, Bolds got
a basket, Singleton hit with a
one-hander from the corner, Bolds
got another from in front of the
bucket to give Wayne a 22-17
margin.
Dayton then canned one for the
Monarchs, James Rozier netted a
free throw for Wayne, Dayton
hit another bucket for Marysville,
and Frank Perry Gagged long one
for Wayne as the third stanza
ended with Cincinnations leading
25-21. Wayne outscored Marys-
vile, 1873 that quarter.
Although four points is not con-
sidered much of lead to stall on
that is just what Wayne elected
to do throughout the entire fourth
quarter, keeping possession of the
sphere NEST of the time, rather
than give Marysville a chance to
score. And a better job of hold
ing onto the ball, Marysville fans
reluctantly admitted they never
saw.
Little Scoring in Final Period
Singleton scored for Wayne to
open the fourth quarter, and Bill
Wall countered with a dribble-in
shot for Marysville. Moore got a
free throw for the Lockland crew,
and BoldS got another basket for
them to end Wayne's scoring for
the evening at 80 points. Harry

What are we going to do about
Fourth st?
Once the smoothest block In
Marysville, Fourth st. between
Court and Maple SITS. is now a
series of holes and ruts, a sad
picture to motorist who use it.
Particular mention i'm made OF
this one city block now IL years
old, because it happens to be the
first in Marysville to have been
paved with asphalt, breaking the
way for other hard-surface pave
ments besides brick.
Petition for the paving of this
block with asphalt was presented

AS far as coal for heating is
concerned, Marysville seems to
be pretty we'll off, but a critical
situation may be shaping up at
the Ohio Reformatory for Wo-
men, where only a 3-week supply
of fuel remains. Otherwise, the
coal strike has not yet affected
the community.
Passenger trains discontinued,
according to. |. the New York Cen
tral station agent, are No. z, the
northbound train due in Marys-
vile at 1851 a. m, and No. 8, the
southbound train due in at Ma
rysville at SAB p. m.
Still running are the SOUTH
bound train which arrives from
Toledo at 7:06 a. M, and the
northbound train which arrives
from Columbus at 1908 a. m.
Local Freight Running
The local freight train still
continues to operate through here
on its normal every-other-day
schedule. Through freight trains,
however, have noticeably dimin-
ished in recent days and coal
trains, of course, have ceased al
together.
Train crewmen have been laid
off by all railroads, due to fewer
trains being in service, and if the
conditions continue long enough,
some of the few railroad employ
ees living in Marysville may even
be dropped. Station agents and
yardmen in particular will be the
first to feel effects here.
AT Kile and West Mansfield the
second (daytine) trick has al
ready been discontinued, and
there is a possibility the second
trick operator may be laid off in
Marysville, too. Both of the can
celled passenger trains are in the
second trick.
Heating Coal Available
So far as business and residen-
tial consumers are concerned, the
situation is not too serious, Edgar

FOURTH ST, BRIDGE
FINALLY BREAKS
Photo by stanton Studio.

Otto Snyder, Delphos, luckily
escaped serious difficulties at 80
p. m. Friday when his loaded coal
truck succeeded in driving off
the E. Fourth st. Town Run
bridge, after the bridge gave way
under the weight of the truck.
Village officials have been plan
ming for the repair of the bridge
and will now have a simple job
of tearing it down.
Marshall Clarence Brown, who
investigated the incident, said
Snyder's truck and load of coal
exceeded the 5-ton limit of the
bridge. Snyder claimed he did
not see the sign giving this limit,
Marshall Brown added.
All of Snyder's truck but the
back wheels was across the bridge
when it gave away. Only the
speed and force with which the
TRUCK hit the edge of the bridge
carried it up on the road again.

Wood Pulp Imports
Reduced in AUGUST
BY the Assoeiatsd Press

The Commerce Department re-
ported today that imports of wood
pulp dropped in August a. American
paper mills deferred buying In
anticipation Of foreign price cuts.
Shipments to this country were IS
per cent below August of last year
The total, 179,S04 tons. also was
below the July figure Of 1s2, $50 tons.
With United States wood pulp pro-
duction increasing, the department
said. American mills anticipate an
imminent reduction In prices OF
overseas pulp and possibly . re-
vision of current export taxes on
the pulp"
Imports from Sweden and Finland
were down especially-69 per cent
under August Of last year and II
per cent under July, 1913. Receipts
from Canada, however, were Q per
cent higher in August than . year
ago.
