AS Truck Crashes into Bridge, Friday

was halted for several hours as a
result.
The truck, White, driven by
Raymond Melik, Cleveland, was
going north toward Marion. AS

across the road and stopped,
laying against the west bridge
wall.
The driver escaped with only
a sprained wrist.

placed at 8 p. m. and the Sher-
iff's office was called at 9:35. At
3:45 a. m. Saturday the truck was
removed and the highway cleared.

that 81 north-bound trucks were
waiting to get through when the
road was finally opened.

Plain City eager on All-0hio Team;
DAYTON Wins Honorable Mention

Chuck Ferguson, Plain City
High senior was named to the
Associated Press All-Ohio basket
ball team which was released
late last week. John Dayton of
Marysville was among those re-
ceiving honorable mention from
the sports writers.
On the team with Ferguson
were such stars as Ken AleSSi, of
Yorkville; Bob Hugh, of Scio;
Jack Baker, of williamsburg; and
Gary Schaffer, of Ottawa Hills.
Besides Dayton, several other
players from this area received
honorable mention. Among them
were Bill Merchant, of Marion
st. Marys; and Dave McCarty, of
Mt. Gilead. Two other players
from the central district received
berths on the second and third
teams. They were Maynard Goare,
of Edison, the team that elimina-
ted York, from the district
tournament, and Merle Doyle, of
Fredericktown.
For Ferguson, this is the eli
max of a brilliant high school
basketball career. Earlier this
spring he was named to the all
central district team at WeSter-
vile after putting on a perform
ance seldom equaled in tourna-
ment play.
In the first game against
Amanda in the tourney he hit
for "a points. Against Edison he
made 26, and scored ID in the
Scotties' 1870 win over Ashley.
In the district final with Worth
ington he made 10, only to see
his team lose a 1864 thriller.

brought action against Clarence
Penhorwood, West Mansfield, and
Howard B. Robinson, Frank
White, and Walter Robinson,
Frank White, and Walter Robin
son, Union County Commission
ers, for the sum of s25, $3.50. The
plaintiff claims this amount
is due him for damages suffered
in a collision with county truck
on April |, l947,
The defendant states that the
truck, driven by Penhorwood,
failed to stop at a stop sign at
the intersection of State Route
81 and county road number 301
about IA miles north of Marys-
vile between SomerSville and By
halia and collided with the 1941
Oldsmobile driven by the plain
tiff.
Carrie M. Carver, of Findlay
who was in the car with Mr..
Steiner was killed in the crash
and Mr.. Steiner was badly in
jured. The plaintiff claims that
he is still hampered and panied
by the numerous cuts, bruises,
and shock received in the ac-
cident. He adds that many of the
injuries are of a permanent ma
ture and will trouble him for the
rest of his life.
The Union County journal. [volume] (Marysville, Ohio) 1875-1951, 1949-04-04

This is an average of more than
20 points per game against top
flight opposition.
Ferguson has been a regular
on the Plain City team for four
years. He was starter on the
team that downed Marysville in
a double-overtime game in the
district finals two years ago and
went on to beat Bradford in the
regionals before dropping the
final to Phillipsburg.
He is the first all-state player
from this district since Sewer,
from Liberty Union, made the
team in l947.

EGGPLANTS are plentiful
right now, coming in from
nearby Maryland farms. We've
already recommended the good
ness Of stuffed eggplant and
fried eggplant. Better take
advantage of these while the

These, too, will be gone before

Zucchini Is still around, but
cymblings are getting on the
scarce side. Louisiana is be-
ginning to send in yams, and
there's nothing better than
good old candied yams, also on
the Fallish side.

delicious fruits this week. There
are Thompson seedless grapes,

blue grapes, and Bartlett pears.
All Of these are In plentiful
supply.
Potatoes are beginning to
come back again. Jersey and
Pennsylvania potatoes are ar.
irving on the Market. And
real, honest to- goodness Idaho
potatoes are here for baking.
Sometimes the Idaho variety Is
grown in California and called
"IdahO," but these are actually
from the state of Idaho. So,
how about q thick, juicy steak
and q buttered potato one cool
