Pldin City Jacks
Win 50-49 Sunday:
Meet Ashville Tenn

The Plain City Jacks" pulled
the unexpected by defeating the
Jan Ross Nationals, colored pro
team, in a thrilling basketball
game at Plain City Sunday after
noon. The final score was SO to
40.
After trailing the entire first
half the Jacks" hit their stride
at the beginning of the third quar-
ter and quickly jumped into the
lead and were never headed. The
Nationals staged a great rally late
in the game that fell one point
short after the Plain City team
succeeded in keeping possession
of the ball during the last two
minutes of play.
Jim Converse and Willard Boer-
ger tossed in Is and IA points
respectively for the Jacks. For
the Nationals, Spiller was out
standing, with his five set shots
from far out on the court.
Next Sunday afternoon the
Jacks" will meet the highly
touted and undefeated Ashville
Rockets, winner of l8 games in a
row to date this season. The Ash

season and will be favored to
hand the Jacks" their first SET

Some Revision Desirable
1t has long Jeen felt by Ohio
school men that some revision of
the states school system is need
ed to provide better education on
the high school level. Consequen-
tly, a committee was set up by the
Ohio Association of School Ad-
ministrators to work with the
executive committees of the AS
sociation of Exempted Village
Superintendants and the County
Superintendants' Association to
prepare some sort of program.
This committee, according to
Mr.. Baldwin, felt the task beyond
their capabilities and called in the
deans of the five state-owned un-
iversities. The recommendations
for Legislative action to secure
adequate school district structure
in Ohio" were the result.
What happens from here on de-
pends upon the Ohio Legislature,
as influenced by the public react
ion to the proposals.

School Changes
Are Proposed
CContrnued from Page -

Should Marysville join with the
county schools, then there would
be ten 8-year schools and four a
year high schools.
The practical effect of these
changes, of course, would be to
force an abandonment of several
school buildings in Union County,
and possible construction of
newer, larger ones. All present
tax levies would have to be can
celled and new ones voted upon
according to the new districts
Present bond issues would have
TO remain in effect until retired,

the areas which originally voted
for them.

What happened Thursday night,
according to information received
by Mr.. Bigler, was this:
Here's What Happened
One of the three main feeder
cables which lead from the gen.
orators within the plant to the
transformer station outside, blew
up at 6:53. Because there were
two other feeders, maintained
Just for such emergencies, there
was not too much concern about
quickly restoring the service.
All that was necessary, it was
supposed, was to take the faulty
cable out of the circuit, then re-
store service through the remain
ing two. All went well until
workmen attempted to resume
service shortly before $3.50 p. m.
Then it was discovered that the
other two cables were also bad.
Fortunately, Ohio Edison in
Springfield was in the process of
installing a new generator, new
feeder cables and new bank OF
transformers. 1t was decided 1t
would destore service quicker to
complete the new feeders and
transformers than to make repairs
on the damaged cables and this
was done, the job being COM
pleted at 2:l0 a. m. Friday.
Had the new feeder cables and
transformers not been partially
installed, the outage would have
been for considerably longer
duration, Mr.. Bigler declared.
Edison Worked Well
Although the entire incident
was out of our jurisdiction, hap
pening as it did inside the Ohio
Edison property, we are satisfied
that the Ohio Edison people did
everything possible to restore SER
vice as quickly as possible" Mr.
Bigler declared.

study, and perhaps may never be

been far less so since the Dayton
