miscues in the field and timely hit
now and then accounted for the eve
ming score.
To begin the game Higgins Dun
can took the mound for the local
outfit, but he had difficulty in find
ing the plate and was relieved by
Lefty Jack Williams who was un-
able to help matter. In one effort
to put out the fire Mcintosh was
sent to the hill who tossed credit
able game from that point on out.
The only bright spot in the Ma
rauder hitting, which was decidedly
off, was the work of Jack Triplet
who had three for five, including a
homer with one mate aboard. Bon
netti, Cumby and Billie had extra
bases for the totals.
The Marauders downfall really
came in the third inning, when the
Shelby Farmers were successful in
bringing in six runs off five hits,
four walks and one error.

Old Lady Luck continued to
frown on the Marion Marauders as
they were defeated by the Aggies

score of thirteen to two.

Aggies, racked up his ninth win OF
the season as he sat the Marauders

The second score for the Maraud

Marion Marauders
Bow To Lenoir 2-1.

The Lenoir Red Sox came to Ma
rion last Thursday night and de-
feated Johnny Lanning's Marauders
by the count of two to one. Accord
ing to the official record both of the
Red Sox runs were unearned.
The winning run was squeezed
over the plate by Lenoir in the
eighth by virtue of a double by Ray
Helm who scored on an error by
shortstop Floyd Brooks. The visitors
scored first in the third but this one
run lead was wiped away in the
sixth as the Marauders toed the
score.
1t began to look like the Maraud-
ers would step out ahead in the sixth
as their batsmen connected for four
singles, but poor base running cut
the rally short and only one run was
registered. Marion had ten hits; Le-
noir was held to six.
Skipper Lanning was on the
mound for the local lads and tossed
a beautiful game throughout, but
errors were costly and he was charg-
ed with the loss Wiedeman was on
the hill for the Red Sox, and with
the exception of the sixth frame, he
also pitched an excellent game. For
a few minutes in the sixth it look
ed as though he might be headed
for the showers
Extra base hits were at a premi-
UNI with Marion and Lenoir having
only one each. For the Marauders
Billie hit double; Helm duplicated
Billie's act for the Red Sox. John
Beam had the best night at bat With
three for four. He was followed by
Tabilio who had two for three.

In a ragged game that held little

defeated in their own back yard by
the Shelby Farmers Saturday night
by the count of fourteen to six.
Although fourteen runs were

was accomplished off only eleven

eight bingles. Three Marion twirl-

too many free bases were issued on

After observing the situation
over a good many years, am
regretfully compelled to answer
the first question in the affirm
alive. These private CONVEX
sations at Jewish gatherings, this
refusal to pay respectful atten-
ton to the things that people
still claim to respect is a symp-
tom of the decline of the Jewish
spirit here in the United States
which, if something isn't done
to halt it, will eventually so
atrophy Jewish life here that
only a skeleton will remain of
what was formerly a living body
with flesh and blood and soul.
But it is only one symptom.
Another is a thing like the adj

Our American Jewish women.
l have noticed, are the greatest
offenders in this respect, and this
makes the situation all the more
disquieting. In Europe for sew

and less rationalistic, than men

piety that our Jewish women
immigrants to the United States
brought over from the Old
Country a generation and more
ago?
But today a great many of our
American Jewish women, pamp-

that a rabbi in America should
have the same qualities as a

the complaint of a rabbi in Texas
that at marriage and funeral
services-the most serious, the
most solemn, moments in life
people are always telling him

ually disciplined by a business

imagine that life can really be

stage here in the United States
of an epidemic of talkative Jew

no interest whatsoever for what

everybody listens in silence. But
after ten minutes or so the man

quiet during the whole recital.

The attitude of the latter seems
to be: well, Sidor Belarsky

they have to offer us really can

afraid that attendance once in

worse Jews of us, will loosen
our ties with things Jewish. On
the contrary, if our Jewishness

sense of belonging to a certain
group, then attendance at
CHRISTIAN prayer meetings ought

Emergency Polio
Fund Underway

COLUMBUS-Ohio today was
enlisted in the emergency funds
drive for the National Foundation
for Infantile Paralysis. Governor
Frank j. Lausche issued a procla.
nation calling on the people OF
the state to lend assistance.
The extra March of Dimes" is
Ohio's contribution to the Nation
al Foundation which is in finan-
cial straits as a result of this
years record outbreak of polio
myelitis.
The emergency funds drive is
nationwide.
"In no way is this an emer-
gency in the sense that an epi-
demic is upon us here in Ohio"
Governor Lausche said. Rather,
it is one of finances. The large
number of polio cases throughout
the nation has depleted the treas
ury of the National Foundation
for Infantile Paralysis"
Governor Lausche pointed out
that the National Foundation does
not wait until a case has been
proved to be poliomyelitis before
it. goes into action. "The mere
suspicion of polio is enough to
bring aid and assistance from
this fine organization" he said.
A large portion of the funds
contributed during the emergency
drive will pay back money spent
for care of polio victims who con-
tracted the disease earlier in the
year and who now have recovered.
Other portions will pay for the
continued care of those who suf-
fered crippling effects.
DR.. John d. Porterfield, Di-
rector of the Ohio Department of
Health, also lauded the National
Foundation for Infantile Paraly-
sis.
"The fact that the National
guarantees prompt
handling of all cases is one of the
reasons the emergency drive for
funds has become necessary" he
said. "Such prompt action is vital
in the fight against poliomyelitis."
Although poliomyelitis in Ohio
still is far below epidemic rate,
the years total probably will be
the highest on record, DR.. Porter
field said.

Enumerat0rs To Visit Every

Starting Monday

Rural Directories, Inc, of Bowl

trained crew of enumerators ex-
pect to start in Ottawa county
the week of September 10, 1949.
The huge job of checking and
compiling this information by
house to house and farm to farm
canvas will soon be under way.
''Mail In' Cards will be left at
homes where enumerators have
called several times and failed to
personally contact the household
er. Prompt return of these mail
In" cards will speed up the serv-
ice. Moreover, this cooperation
in furnishing information for the
new County and City Directory will
speed deliveries, help friends and
relatives to locate them and en-
able quick action in case of fire
or emergency.
In addition to an alphabetical
list of all families in the county,
mail address, phone number, own
er or renter, where they work,
and names and ages of children
will be shown.
Every road and street will be
shown with each family, business
place, church, school house cross
road cemetery and railroad cross
ing in the proper sequence in
which they occur plus maps of
each city and the entire county.
The area contained in the Oak
Harbor phone exchange will be
taken last on account of change
being made to dial phone in that
area. These enumerators are just
finishing Medina and Huron coun-
ties.
This will be the first complete
directory, here, of everyone in
the county, city and country.
Rural Directories estimates they
will have to enumerate over 3d.
600 people iii the county.
Reports from fourteen other
Ohio counties with this directory
service indicate that the director
les have been used to advantage
in cases of fire, accident and
other emergencies.
The Ottawa County Directory
should be off the press in Janu-
ary.
