llOudIe county vote.
Union, a dairy farming county,
did not go along with the rest of
the state in approving the yell
low oleo. On the other two state
questions, however, Union fol-
lowed the trend of the other 81
counties in voting for the party
type ballot and voting against
the probate judge amendment.
2 to ! Against Oleo
On the bill to permit sale of
yellow oleomargarine in Ohio,
Union County cast enly 1888
in favor of the bill and 1924
against it. Marysville precincts
gave the bill favorable vote,
but it was showed under in the
rural areas.
On the office-type ballot, which
will list all candidates for the
same office under one heading,

ings and do away with straight
ballot voting, Union County
voted 24l8 for the change and

Increased Drill Puy
Authorized for All
Ndtiondl Guard Units

An increase in drill pay for all
National Guard units became eff
fective on Oct. l according to
Capt. John Williams, command
er of Marysville's heavy tank
company. The new Armory drill
pay rates mean slight increases
for all officers and men ranging
from 10 cents per night for re-
cruits to Sl.28 for master SER
geants with 10 years service in
the regular army.
The new pay schedule calls for
similar increase in pay for the
field training period. For ex-
ample, sergeant having seven
years of service would draw $3.50
per drill under the new rates. His
field training base pay would be
Is times $3.50. This would be
added to whatever allowances are
authorized.
Tho old provision of so percent
on top of base pay no longer
holds true. The new law pro-
vides a set sum to be provided
for each grade. The sergeant
with seven years of service gets
81 added to his $3.50 per drill.

Union N. Again
First Precinct In

North precinct of Union Town
ship again took the honors for
being first precinct to report its
complete election returns, Tues
day evening. Hugo Vollrath, pre-
siding judge, came in with his
report at 7:50 p. m. Tuesday.
Last precinct in was Plain City,
of which j. S. Parker is presid-
ing judge. He brought in his re-
turns at 2:45 a. m. Wednesday,
approximately 212 hours after B.
w. Cline reported for Taylor at
1915 a. m. Wednesday.
Plain City precinct also had
the largest vote cast as 305 citi-
zens marked their ballots there.
Smallest vote was in East pre-
cinct of York Township, where
only 72 turned out.
1t has been a good many years
now, since another precinct has
beaten Union North in with their
returns. Mr.. Vollrath and his as
sistants have worked out a sys-
tenn which enables them to gel
the votes counted quickly and
their reports completed in re-
cord time, all of them having
served as precinct workers for
several elections now.

The Broadway Better School
Club Minstrel show, now in its
final stages of preparation, will
be given Nov. 16 and II.
This is the second show, which
seems destined to become an
annual affair of Taylor township.
The keen interest and support
given last years show induced
the School Club to make the
Minstrel show a big event on
their calendar each year.
Last years show idea was born
by the necessity of raising more
money for the clubs activities.
1t seemed like every other means
of obtaining money had been
used and reused so at last the
Broadway Minstrel was born.
The Broadway Better School
Club has used the funds thus

it was 6l-6 over Hartford, $50
over London, and 25 over Rich
wood. A total of 33l points in
eight games, not counting the
forfeit, to the opponents '13.
The year before, 1926, Marys-
vile won eight games and lost
only one, to Bellefontaine 60,
in a sea of mud.
Although Delaware has had
poor season on the won and
lost standard as they have won
only two games and tied one in
eight starts. On the victory side
the Panthers has edged Marion
st. Mary 10 and Mt. Vernon
1912. They have tied Columbus
st. Mary 1912.
The five loses were to Urbana
1870, Grandview $50, Bexley 34-
6, Upper Arlington 27-6, and
London 800. Only common op-
ponents on the schedule were
Marion st. Mary which the locals
defeated 1916 and London which
lost to Marysville 14-13.

The first and last time that a

That year the Monarchs, coach

Pharisburg School was the

Tuesday evening. A record crowd
jammed the auditorium to hear
Roy Battles, farm program direc-
tor of radio station WLW. He
thinks Rural America is truly de-
nocracy in action.
Mr. Battles stated that by
understanding the past history
of democracy in the world, we
should appreciate the vast inn
oortance that each voter should
place on his privilege of the bal
lot. Democracy is a personal mat
.er, each citizens responsibility
and we must have a thinking
citizenship, he pointed out.
Every citizen should be alert
and take part in his right to par
ticipate in his government, the
speaker said. II can be lost by
a lackadaisical attitude. In a
democracy it is every citizens
right, privilege and duty to ac-
cept responsibility in his com
munity, state and nation, accord
ing to Mr.. Battles.

In substance. responsible authori-
ties predicted. Foreign Minister Hal
ward Lance will be told here this
week that the Atlantic Powers look
to his country mainly to bolster its
own ,deIsnses and co-ordinate its
strategy with the grand defensive
scheme of all the Allied Western
nations.
These same officials rejected the
ggestion-posed by the Russians
in q note to Norway last wcek-that
the United States might require
Norway to provide forward military
bases against the Soviet Union.
Bases to Lie Farther, Back.
It was said that insofar as the
Western grand strategy rested on
base establishments, these actual
centers Of striking power would be
located more to the rear. away from
the Soviet Western frontier. :
Secretary of State Acheson con-
ferred yesterday with Senator Con-
nally, Democrat, of Texas, chairman
of the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee, and Senator Vanden-
berg, Republican, of Michigan,
ranking minority member of the
committee, on the Atlantic Pact
project as the Norwegians flew
toward Washington to find out
about it.
Senator Knowland, Republican, OF
California called NorWay's indica-
ton she wants to join the North
Atlantic Security Alliance "en-
couraging."
Anything that can be done to
bring nations which want to main
tain law and order into the security
pact is a good thing" he said.
Delegation Due Today.
The Californian said this country
ought to go as far as we can
constitutionally" toward pledging
aid to friendly nations in event
they are attacked.
Mr.. Lange and a delegation are
due to arrive here today to confer
with Secretary Achesen and other
American officials, possibly includ-
ing President Truman. Their ar
rival will open week of fast and
important developments on the
North Atlantic project, diplomatic
authorities said. These coming
events include:
/. Further conferences by Mr..

wording of the proposed pact. Sen
ator Vandenberg, who helped ini-
tiate the project year ago, is un-
derstood to be making various sug-
gestions to bring it into line with
what the Senate may accept.

territories for establishment of such
military bases" the Soviet note
said. which in this case Is Of par
ticular significance for the, Soviet
Union since Norway and the
U. s. 8. R. are neighbors with a
common frontier"
The Russian note said Norway de-
clared it would not commit itself
to grant military bases to other
states "as long as Norway Is not
subjected to attack or threats Of
attack"
This statement MEANS" the
Soviet note continued, that any
provocational rumors or hastily con-
cocted falsincations about O threat
of attack against Norway would
suffice to make Norway grant Nor
wegian territory for military bases
and armed forces of foreign coun-
tries at any time including the
present peacetime."
