Cage Fans Contribute Sl67 To Polio
Fund, See Pair Of Thrillers Monday
-Photo by smItty's studIo

In the second game an injury
riddled Union team managed to-
edge New Cally 1854 after trail
ing throughout the second half.
Union seemed to be unable to get
its high-scoring offenSe under
way and held a 1912 lead at
halftime. In the second half the
complete loss of John Adams and
the fact that their center, Kned
Ter, was hampered seriously by
foot infection, began to tell on the
Union team as Cally forged "a
head and maintained a slim lead
unsil the final minutes.
Smith was the high scorer for
Union as he laid in 13 points.
Bright followed with II. Fry scor-
ed ii for Cally.
Games Net Sl67
Mrs. Aida Davis, county Chair
man of the National Foundation
for Infantile Paralysis, reported
that total of S167 was taken in
at the door. Practically all of this
will be clear profit for the Polio
fund.
Mrs. Davis expressed thanks
to all those concerned for their
help in the project, which was a
great success. Warren Widner and
Robert Lewis donated their SER
vices as officials and the entire
proceeds of the game will go to
the Polio fund.
Each of the three Union Couns
ty schools participating will have
approximately $50 added to their
total polio collection as a result
of the games.

26OO Dog Tags
Sold in County

Dog license sales in Union
County totaled S4,270 in l949
according to the report of County
Auditor F. T. McCurdy. There
will be, of course, many sales
yet to be made on puppies, etc.
2600 tags were sold during the
December-through January sale.
This is about the same as last
year according to the auditors
records.
This sum will replenish the
badly depleted Dog and Kennel
Fund which was more than S1400
in the red at the end of 1948.
This was due to the greatly in
creased value of sheep during the
past few years.
Mr.. McCurdy said that it will
be extremity surprising if the ken
mel fund is not completely de-
pleted again next year, despite
the increase in the price of dog
tags.

Non-P Partisan Vote Opposed
By Alexandra Democrats

The Alexandria Democratic
Committee has come out against
a proposal for non-partisan mu-
nicipal elections in the city, which
will be the subject of "a referen-
dunn November 8.
In announcing it's decision to-
day the committee said it unani-
mously was opposed to ANY effort
to substitute an experimental
non-partisan scheme for the es-
tablished American two-parry
system"
Reports on the operation Of
similar plans elsewhere, the COM
mittee said, showed that such elec-
tions tend to be dominated by
small, militantly organized
groups"
The referendum was recon-
mended by the Alexandria Char
ter Commission, which is drafting
new city charter, and was or
dered by the Corporation Court
judge at the request of the City
