Five Basketball Games Scheduled
Among County Schools for Friday

Five county cage contests are
on tap for Friday night, all of
them being leagues games.
Marysville is inactive.
Magnetic travels to York in
an attempt to get back on the
victory trail after losing to Union.
This game will knock one of the
two teams out of a second place
tie in the league. It shapes up as
a scoring duel between Jack
Rockhold, of York, and Bill Cod
er, of Magnetic.
Redwood, one of the league
leaders, takes on Watkins on the
Tigers floor. The Tigers should
have little trouble as they are
touted to be one of the strongest
teams to come out of Union
County in several years.
Broadway should add another
win to its string as the Red Dew
lis play host to Raymond. Ray
mond has lost to York and Rich
wood and has beaten Byhalia and

Cars Crush Heud-on.
Two Men Injured
Neor Pottersburq

Two men were injured in a
head-on collision on the Belle
fontaine rd., near Petersburg at
5:45 p. m. Monday.
Injured were: Harold E. Saum,
Columbus, who received a serious
cut on his head and was treated
by a local physician, and Grover
c. Thompson, of Bellefontaine,
who was taken to Mary Rutan
Hospital in Bellefontaine for OBJ
servation after suffering numer-
GUS bruises and minor cuts. Mr..
Thompson was just returning
from a Columbus hospital where
he was undergoing treatment for
heart trouble.
The accident occurred when
Thompson came up behind a
trailer being pulled by car driv-
en- by Amos Gregg of near Pot
tersburg. The trailer did not
have any lights according to
Sheriff Walter Galloway and
when Thompson swerved to
avoid hitting it he hit the other
car coming from the west.
The cars, both late model Ply
mouths, were badly damaged "a
round the front end in the crash.
One was taken to Bellefontaine
and the other to Columbus.

Darby.
Cally plays Union at Rosedale.
Cally could spring upset such as
Union did to Magnetic last week.
The Wolves have the potential
power to win this game easily
but they have not been too con-
sistant.
Darby takes on Byhalia in
what should be toSs-up. By
halia has looked very good in re-
cent games and could take their
second league win Darby has
yet to win in the league, losing
to Redwood, Magnetic, Ray
mond, and Broadway. Union de-
feated them in a non-league
game.
Saturday sees Union travelling
to Cable to tangle with the pow
erful Cubs, Champaign County
champs last year. Union has a
record of five wins and two loses
and these two weekend games
could greatly improve or spoil
their record.

Redwood Legion
Hall Opening Set

The opening of the American
Legion assembly, hall in Redwood
will be held Friday, Dec. 80, with
holiday dance as part of the pro-
gram. Cooper's Orchestra will
furnish the music and refresh
ments will be served.
This new Legion home was
built on the rear of the old frame
building giving the Redwood
Post large assembly hall and
completely modern facilities. The
new home was built of cement
block and almost all the labor
was donated.
This included the plumbing,
painting, and many other jobs
that would have cost a great
deal more had the work been
done by contractor. 1t has been
only little mare than year since
the building was first planned.
No time was wasted in getting
the construction under way and
good progress was made through
out.
The new Legion Home will
give the community a meeting
place, banquet hall, and recrea-
ton center big enough to handle
almost any crowd to be as
sembled in the north-end COM
munity.

Practically all the money de-
rived from the sale of Christmas
Seals remains in Union County
where it is used for treatment
and clinical work in connection
with tuberculosis, Luther Lig-
gett, chairman of the seal sale
campaign, said today.
The past year has been par
ticularly outstanding in this type
of work by the Union County
tuberculosis and Health Associ-
alton, which sponsors the Christ
mas Seal sale each year.
There were 80 known cases of
tuberculosis in the county during
1948 of which II were in men
and 13 in women. Most of these
were in older people, indicating
a trend away from T.B. in young
er persons.

DECEMBER Is. l949

Union County Agricultural Ex-
tension Office, under the able
direction of County Agent Frank
Greeneisen and Mrs. Mary Alice
Diehl, Home Demonstration A
gent, has just released the annual
report on the highlights of the
Agricultural Extension program
in l949.
After examining the long list
of activities and accomplishments,
one wonders how two people,
with their limited staff, can find
time to do all. 1t is small wonder
that Union County has one of the
best Junior fair programs in the
state after considering the a.
mount of work and time devoted
to the All and F. F. A. boys and
girls.
In addition to this there is the
large amount of work done in
work with adults and other rur-
al programs and problems.

ming after attending the annual
Oldsmobile dealer meeting in
Cleveland, Mr.. Balliett reports

body types, completely restyled
Futuramic "98", a new and more
luxurious "88", and the smart
new "76" comprose the finest
line of Futuramic cars ever to
bear the Oldsmobile name.
To an enthusiastic group of
Cleveland Zone Oldsmobile deal
ers, D. E. Ralston, executive as
sistant to the general manager
of Oldsmobile Division, reported
that Oldsmobile, in 1949, had
surpassed all previous sales re-
cords and for 1850 was planning
production of approximately $50,
000- new cars to keep pace with
the increasing public demand for
Futuramic Oldsmobiles with the
famous Rocket Engine and
Whirlaway Hydr amatic Drive.
According to Mr.. Balliett, these
Futuramic Oldsmobiles for 1850
will soon be on display all over
America and he suggests that
everyone watch this newspaper
for the announcement date in
Marysville when Matthews Mot
or Sales will launch the 1850
Rockets.

MonarChS Back
In Old Form, Beat
Delaware 6l-3l
Display Near-Flawless
Form in Stunning Win;
Reserve Team Loses

Marysville High basketballers
snapped out of their slump, Tues
day night, and handed a highly
regarded Delaware High team
6l-3l shellacing in the Marys-
vile gym. 1t was Marysville all
the way, as the Monarchs out
played their opponents in every
department
Marysville Reserves dropped
the preliminary game, 1888, as
the Delaware seconds tailed
heavily late in the game to come
from behind and win.
For the Monarch varsity, it
was a complete vindication of
themselves. After brilliant per-
formances in their first three
games against tough opposition,
the locals went into a tail-spin
last week which nearly got them
defeated at Plain City and cost
them their first loss of the season
at Westerville.
Running Oil-Smooth
But Tuesday evening, Marys-
vile was back in oil-smooth run
ming order and it was only q
question of how high they could
run the score before the game
ended. Only big Jack Mckinney,
6 ft.-6 in. center of the visitors,
was able to show much at all,
and he copped IA points.
But, for the Panthers, that was
the only thing they had to cheer
about.
Delaware simply could not
penetrate the air-tight Marys-
vile defense, and they were pow-
erless to stop the high-geared of
fense which the Monarchs threw
at them. At times, the Panthers
appeared almost bewildered by
the brand of basketball which
Marysville displayed from start
to finish.
Plenty of Teamwork
