Redwood Team
Edges Cardington

Redwood High Schools Tig-
ers broke into the win column,
Friday night, as they edged
Cardington 7-6. Redwood scored
in the third period after a scor-
less first half and the Marion
County team countered with a
last quarter T. d. but they failed
to convert and lost the ball game.
The Tigers scored on a Milli-
gan to Shields pass good for l8
yards. Milligan, converted
guard hit Shields again for the
extra point. Redwood was out
gained 203 yards to 164 but they
were able to hold the Cardington
team on the ground when neces-
sary. The losers score came on a
series Of passes.
Milligan has been one of sur
prises of the Tiger offense this
season. He lettered at guard last
year and was converted to single
wing quarterback this year. He
has been outstanding in his pas
sing thus far and will probably
become even more so as he gains
experience through the season.
Redwood taken on Mechanics
burg on the Indians home field
this Friday.

Ballots to Count
If Intent Clear

Union County precinct judges
will receive written instructions
on ballot counting with their poll
books on Nov. 8, election day.
These instructions will inform
them they are to count all ballots
where the intent Of the voter is
clear, Arthur w. Galloway clerk
of the Union county election
board, announced today.
Until last year, Ohio law had
provided no ballot should be
counted which was marked con-
trary to law, yet none should be
rejected for technical error unless
it was impossible to determine
the voters choice.
This rule was dropped in l947
and the legislature passed a law
that no ballot should be counted
where the voters choice was sig
nified by other mark than an
"X" properly placed in the box in
front of the candidates name the
voter wished TO vote for.
After an estimated 100000
presidential election ballots were
thrown out last year, the iegis-
lature voted to 60 back to the
old law, Mr.. Galloway explained.
Many people here still mark
their ballot in the right place but
persist in using a check mark in
stead of the legal "X", election
board officials report. While this
is officially frowned on and is
not legal ballot marking, it does
provide at least in the opinion of
many precinct judges, a clear
sign of the voters intent.
Under the return to the old
rule, most of these ballots will
probably be counted as they
were before last year, election
officials said.

Death OF Mrs. Demorest Closes Book
On Two Pioneer Marysville Families
BY MRS. CLAIR THOMPSON

Final chapter in the lives of
two pioneers families of the COM
munity was closed in the re-
cent death of Mrs. Sara Demor-
est, well known and highly es-
teemed lady of the community.
Ninety-three years ago, Mrs.
Demorest was born in house
which once stood on w. Fifth st.
1t was later moved to another
location to make way for the
present home where the late
James McCann more recently re-
sided.
At the time of her birth, her
father, Joshua Marshall, held
the office of county treasurer.
Her mother was Annette Cool
idge. Both the Marshall and Col
idge families had migrated from
the New England states to the
Ohio country, the Marshalls set
tling for a time at Chillicothe,
then travelling on to Franklinton
by dug-out boats on the Scioto
river, and the Coolidges coming
to Milford Center, by devious
means.
Possessed of an extremely bril-
liant mind, Mrs. Demorest was
one of the early graduates of the
Wesleyan Female College, which
later became the present Ohio
Wesleyan University. 1t was in
Delaware she met L. B. Demor-
est, whom she married Sept. z
1876, the wedding taking place
in the brides home, which is
now owned and occupied by Mr..
and Mrs. L. H. Miller. Mr.. and
Mrs. Demorest established their
home at once at 500 w. Fifth st.
where they reared their family,
and Mrs. Demorest continued to
live there after the death of her
husband until failing health took
her to her daughters home in
Columbus six years ago.
Through almost 40 years of
service in Marysville schools as
teacher, principal and superin-
tendent, Mr.. Demorest endeared
himself to thousands of youth in
the community, while his wife,
who was deeply devoted to him,
busted herself with home duties,
always a guiding influence for
Christian and intellectual atmos-
phere in the home life.
Mrs. Demorest was an active
member of the Methodist church,
the Women's Foreign Missionary
Society, and for years was the
leader of the Standard Bearers,
the youth of that organization.
She was a charter member of
The Woman's Parliament and
Fortnightly club, retaining active
membership in the former as
long as her health permitted.
While a great reader, Mrs.
Demorest was never known to
read novel. She spent much
time with the Bible and ency-
clopedia. Much study and re-
search went into the prepara-
ton of her duties in Parliament,
and it is recalled that she never
read her paperS. she gave them
from memory.
Sept. 8, the day following the
73rd anniversary of her marriage
this kindly lady of unusual tai
ents, claimed her reward in
eternal life, leaving cherished
memories in the hearts of her
sons Ralph, Dana and Don, her
daughter, Madge Larrimore, and
a host of friends whose lives are
better for having known her.

agreed to let her write about it.
Here it is. For more accurate
account of what went on. we
suggest YOU turn to Dick SeitZ'
story on the game, elsewhere in
today's Journal)
| just LOVE football.
OF course, / couldn't see why
they did some of the things they
did, but it was all so thrilling and
exciting.
The girls looked so lovely in
their new fall clothes, and every
body seemed to be so thrilled
and evxcited when something
happened.
Once or twice / heard a man
back of me say, Nov they'll
have to punt" / looked all a
round for a boat but never did
find it so / asked my husband
about it and he just glared at
me. l wish someone would tell
me why that man was talking
about puntS or canoes or some
thing at a football game.
The boys who were playing
looked so cute and manly in their
darling uniforms. l liked espec-
tally the off-the-face hats they
wore but when / mentioned it to
my husband, he just glared again.
/ still think those hats are so
cute, but / do think a feather on
them would be more stylish.
But l had a hard time figuring
what they were doing. They just
kind of lunged at each other
from opposite sides of the ball,
then one chap would run lit
tie ways and the others would
pile on top of him. I'd think
they'd have more fun if they
would run farther.
Another thing; they had three
fellows in striped shirts (and
their was certainly no style to
what they were wearing) who
kept blowing whistles at the boys
and interfering with them. l
thought this was too bad because
the players looked like they
would have rather not been both
cred by these three.
But what / couldn't under
stand is why they kept measur-
ing the field all the time. No, kid
ding, all the time the game was
going on two fellows kept going
up and down the side with poles
and a chain between them; /
should think once would have
been enough for that and it
seems to me they could have got
ten it out of the way sometime
when there wasn't game.
About halfway through, the
boys must have gotten tired or
something because they just up
and quit playing. But l didn't
mind because the band came on
to the field; and there's some
thing could tell what was going
on. 1t made me kind of sore
when they chased the band off
and started playing football
again, because the boys and girls
in the band looked so cute in
their blue uniforms and played
such good music.
My husband told me something
about every time they quit run
ming with the ball, that was a
down. He didn't say down what,
but | heard him say down the
hatch" when he took a swallow
of cough medicine from the bot
tie he had with him. l never did
catch onto that down business
because the announcer never got
any higher than fourth down
and ! known very well they ran
with the ball more than that.
Oh, well, there's going to be
another game this Friday, and
maybe l can figure things out
more. That is, if l can get my
husband to take me; he doesn't
seem very anxious to right now
But l do hope they let the band
plaV more.

feet. with no break such az the
brush had found in which to
thrust its roots.
His once chance was to 90 up.
With the brush to aid him, he
might be able to make It, though
it would be a stiff scramble. Still,
1t was only ten feet to the top
again. One slip, however, would
be plenty.
Valse climbed little, hand
over hand, tentatively. Now he
was able to grasp another shoot,
and finally to find one Of the
broken places in the ledge for a
toe-hold. He chung there a mo-
nlent, and considered his next
move.
1T WAS unlikely that anyone
\ who had gone to such lengths
to get him would leave without
taking a look to make certain that
the job was really finished. More
than likely the killer was already
approaching the spot where Trib
had been riding. Pretty soon, he'd
be looking down over the edge Of
the cliff.
He climbed again, carefully,
testing each move, until his head
was within foot of the crest.
Then, having a fairly good foot
hold, and good grip with his left
hand on another bush, he lifted
his revolver from its holster and
held it ready.
He had not long to wait. He
heard the scramblipg Of a horses
boots on the rocky ground, then a
hoarse whoa, followed by the
creak of leather as the man dis
mounted. The gunman was COM
ing, certain in his own mind that
the job was done, that there was
nothing to worry about, but max
ing routine check to be sure.
He got down on to his hands
and knees and craned his rather
scraggly neck out for a better
look, and then, for the first time,
his gaze encountered Valse's, and
he looked into the muzzle Of the
leveled gun.
Marshss face went slack with
shock. There was complete sur
prise in him.
Just stay that way, on your
hands and knees" Valse ordered.
Move, and it'll be your last"
