Two Monarchs On
All-League Team
Mid-State Coaches
Meet on Tuesday

John Dayton and Buddy Hoff-
man, of MarySville were given
positions on the all-MidState
League team selected by the
coaches at their meeting Tuesday.
Along with Dayton and Hoff-
man, on the honor teams were
Art Irons, of Mt. Gilead and Bill
Merchant, of Marion st. Marys
at forwards and Dave McCarty, of
Mt. Gilead at center. The Marys-
vile boys were put at the guard
slots. Dayton was the only re-
peater on the team.
On the second team were Ber-
ardinelli, of Carey and Boyd, of
Marysville, at forwards, Long
necker, of Carey at center, and
CuSic, of st. Marys and Cheney,
of Redwood, at guards.
Coach Richard Fetter, of Rich
wood was elected president of
the League and freeze Sharrock,
of St. Marys was made vice pre-
sident. A. E. WohlerS, of Carey,
was reelected secretary-treasur-
eT.
Change in basketball schedule
for the 1949- so season was adopt
ed by the League officials, to per-
nit Redwood to play only one
game with the other three schools,
Marysville, Marion st. Mary
and Carey. These three, however,
will continue to play on home
and-home basis.
The change was made TO en-
able Redwood to play against
other teams in the Union County
league, but still maintain its Mid
State membership. AS a result
of the change, the championship
will be determined on a percent
age basis hereafter.
No new teams were taken into
the League to replace Mt. Gilead
whose resignation of last fall is
now effective. Other schools were
discussed, but no action taken
SO the Loop will operate with
only four member schools next
season.

Kingsmore, and Warren Widner
Paul Wenzel and Robert Lewis
coaches.

3 Causes Given
Three major causes are given
by John F. Harrison, manager of
the local Employment Office, for
the sharp rise in unemployment:
l. The slowing up of construc-
ton work due to the weather.
2. Certain industries have ex-
perienced some difficulty in OBJ
tanning steel to maintain full pro-
duction.
3. AS must inevitably come to
pass, the consumers market is be-
coming flooded with certain pro-
ducts.
"Union County has been very
lucky as far as unemployment is
concerned" Mr.. Harrison said,
comparing us with other count
les"
The Hardin County Office at
Kenton has 500 claims and other
neighboring counties have SINH
lar increases over the Union Coun-
ty figures.
More than half of the people
filing claims here are the victims
of layoffs in factories in cities in
adjoining counties Mr.. Harrison
added. Most of the remainder are
from small companies around here
and many are only temporarily
out of work.

other parts of the county, she de-
cided her chickens accomplish
ments were worthy of mention,

Wilson found measured nine
inches around the ends and seven
inches around the middle. 1t
weighed 6h ounces. The other

have been trudging to the audi
torium to practice for their music
festival which they will present
at p. m. Friday.
The vocal program has been
built around the theme: Music
Through the Year" These songs
will carry us from January, with
its ice and snow, to February
where we shall see the graceful
minuet. March brings st. Pat
rick's Day and the gay Mardi

Aprips rain and Easter. Then in
May we really think that spring
is here and cheerily sing of vaca-
ton time and fishing in June.
July brings nationalistic feeling
and the circus comes to town.
Dog days of August make us so
lazy we can scarcely say "Shoo
Fly" or get on our ponies. All too
soon it is Indian Summer and
school time again. Then witches
are calling, black cats are seen
and it is time for that Halloween
party where we enjoy the Vir-
ginia Reel and ScottiSche.
Thanksgiving is the next holiday
to which we look forward, and
then time seems to really fly, ex-
cept for little folks, and Christ
mas soon is here. The program is
being directed by Joyce Foster

Euverard accompanies.
The able assistants, without
whom the program would be i'm

New School Board Head

There must be many people in Washing
ton who will heartily agree with c. Melvin
Sharpe, newly chosen president of the
Board of Education, in his assertion that
he would like to see an end to all of the
small pickering and small misunderstand-
ing" that do so much to hamper progress
in building up the school system.
There are times when it seems that in
all segments of the life of the community
an inordinate amount of time and effort
is devoted to pulling and hauling over
relatively unimportant details and con-
troversies When this happens, there is
tendency to lose sight of the real goals,
or what should be the real goals, and
anything that Mr.. Sharpe can do to help
overcome this unfortunate condition will
be truly welcome.
A resident of Washington since 1905, Mr..
Sharpe takes over his new post with
rich background of public service and
experience in community problems. This,
with his recognized native abilities, equips
him we'll for his new responsibilities, and
if he receives the support from the people
of the city that he ought to have, there is

To Save the Sesquicentenniol

The proposal to finance WaShlngtonS S
Sesquicentennial celebration through
loan from the Reconstruction finance
Corporation is an extraordinary one. But
the desperate plight of the District Sesqul-
centennial Commission calls for eXtraor-
dinary measures.
The hitch to the plan is that the RFC
cannot make such a loan without Speclhc
congressional authority. And the House
has evidenced singular lack of interest
in the whole undertaking. 1t is matter
of speculation, therefore, whether the
House will look with any more favor on
the RFC loan plan than on the proposal
for a direct appropriation. The latter
would have been tantamount to a loan'
too, for Sesquicentennial officials declare
that most, if not all, of the money would
be refunded to the Treasury out of ad-
mission receipts. Thus it is apparent
that the Sesquicentennial is not fair game
for the economy axwielders
The RFC loan idea has the approval OF
President Truman, who is ex-oftlclo chair
man of the Sesquicentennial Commission.
A bill to authorize the RFC to advance two
million dollars for the celebration has been
introduced by Representative Mary T.
Norton, Democrat, of New Jersey. 1t has
been referred to the Banking and Currency
Committee The Senate-approved bill for
a direct appropriation ran into strong
opposition in the House Appropriations
Committee 1t is to be hoped that the
Banking and Currency Committee will
treat the Sesqucentennial with more
kindness than did the Appropriations
Committee. If the loan bill reaches the
floor, there is a good chance the House
will pass it, 1t should not encounter
serious opposition in the Senate. If this
last-ditch effort to save the Freedom Fair
fails, there will remain little or no hope
of an adequate observance of the 15Oth
anniversary of the founding of the Nations

Contends That Good Leaders
OF Men Deserve Adequate Pay

To the Editor OF The star:
am inclined to agree intellectually
with the man who signed himself Arthur
Coulter in your editorial page the other
evening. I am an excl and have WORKED
and served under many officers, high-rank-
ing and low-ranking. also have had oppor-
tunity to observe and compare the officers
and men of foreign countries while was
overseas The impression that certain OF
our Congressman and others apparently are
trying to spread to the effect that our officer
corps is full of scallawags and no-goods is
the most underhanded deal have yet seen.
For my money, this country is blessed with
the finest officer corps in the world. They
are head and shoulder above comparable
civilian groups that I know of in ability,
sense of justice, and devotion to duty. To
my mind it is high time we stopped villifying
these men. They should not have to apollo
gize for the military pay raise bill. This
country hasn't got enough money to pay men
like Marshall Macarthur. Clay. Doolittle

SpaatZ, lie May, and countless other military
leaders who gave generously during the war
and who still are giving. There were no pay
increases for these men during the war or
since and no strikes or refusals to work.
They weren't waxing fat and wealthy in in
dustry during the war nor have they since.
The American people had better start pay
ing tribute to this type of man in practical
way. or we may find ourselves without such
men when next we need them. It takes more
than the g-business $50,000-a-year men.

their own, but solely because of the cold
war, our brass" and braid" have the vital
but not pleasant duty of keeping the Ma
ton alert to danger and maintaining
costly defense establishment. So, some
what like the couriers of long ago, they
are unjustly abused
Whether or not it stems from a psyche
logical cause, however, the abuse is inde-
fensible, and those who are disposed to
dish it out should open their eyes wide
enough and grow up sufficiently, to realize
as much Our military leaders-who Incl
dentally are inadequately paid-are heavily
burdened with grave responsibilities in

better at the hands of the public than

Mr.. McLemore Dragged Over
Hot Goals ~ Sarcasm
tn the EdiforHf The Star.

I was surprised and delighted to learn
from Henry McLemore that there is too
much tolerance in the United States and that
"our country has become so obsessed with
the belief in the dignity of man and the
rights Of the human being that almost
everything else has been showed to the bot
tom shelf" I cannot. however, understand
his concern over such Utopian situation.
Is he really charging the United States
with being too democratic, too Christian?
Surely he doesn't think it is tolerance"
that makes us send aid to Europe? Tolerance
Of what? Not tolerance Of communism. Mr..
McLemore, as Journalist, must know our
charity of assistance really is self-help.
Yes we are so tolerant at home that men
like DR.. Ralph Bunche, who has achieved
international prestige, must turn down top
Government position because the Nations
Capital is Jim Grow" town. We are so
tolerant to foreigners that four years after
the war there are still DPS who will not
live to know q home.
Obviously Mr.. McLemore considers him
self q good American, concerned about get
ting better things for American human be-
ings. Then, how about his plugging for q
good housing bill, for aid to schools, for an
