Two boys, Francis Wade of
Watkins and Frank Smith, of
Milford were unanimously elect
ed to the All-County Basketball
Team by the coaches at the end
of the 1948-49 season. Each Coach
was invited to nominate any of
his players that he considered
worthy of all-county mention and
ballots containing the names of
the 18 players they nominated
were sent out to each coach.
Every coach voted on the 10
players he considered the best in
the county and sent his ballot
back to the county superintend-
ent's office, The voting was done
before the beginning of the tourn-
ament so only season play was
taken into consideration.
Smith and Wade were the only
ones to receive votes from all ten
coaches, although the balloting
was very definite in which 10 OF
the 18 were to be hohored with
first team berths:

After Dealers Reported

Telegram inSructing them to

the County Board of Heath from
the State Health Department
Action was taken due to several
deaths throughout the country
from use of the chemical.
The message received by DR.,

director, said:
"Officially advised today by

Lithium chloride products are

quent users are elderly people
whose blood pressure is affected
by sodium chloride, or table salt,
Other Products Available
There are other drugs on the
market for the same purpose
which are free on lithium chloride.
The most common of these is Neo-
curtasal, made by the Winthrop
Drug Company. These are not
affected by the Board of Heath
order.
The three Marysville Drug
stores removed the lithium chlor-
ide products, from their shelves
Immediately. Westsal was the on
ly one of the three named in the
telegram carried in stock at the
present time.
Wolgamot's Drug Store reported
that the sales of Westall and the
other two salt substitutes in this
county were very light. This
statement was also voiced by the
other druggists.
Conger's drug store has not had
lithium chloride products in
stock for some time.
Asman's Rexal Drug Store has
had the products off its shelves
since the first word of the fatali-
ties was received.
Builds up in Body
Druggists say use of lithium
chloride in small quantities is not
harmful. However, the drug is
not eliminated from the system
but builds up until, over a period
of several months, there is suf-
ficient quantity in the body to be
fatal.
The three products have been
on the market for approximately
one year, and the deaths which
occurred about two weeks ago
were the first to be reported as
result of using lithium chloride.

Drawing for District B Tourney
Tonight; Sc Teams to Start There

Drawing for the 1949 class B
district basketball tournament
will be held tonight at WeSter-
vile. Thirty-six teams are enter
ed in the tournament this year.
Favorites for the tournament
will include Mt. Gilead, Plain
City, Worthington, London, little
Walnut Township, from Picka-
way County, and Fredericktown.
On the basis of season records,
Fredericktown must be given the
nod. They have suffered only one
defeat this year and that to pow
erful Lima st. Rose, one of the
powers in the state.
Hyatts won the championship
in neighboring Delaware County.
They hold two very close victor
les over Watkins, Union County
champs, so the locals are not too
far off the pace.

it knocked off defending champ
ions, Broadway. The Wolves

before finally losing to york in
the consolation bracket.
York Also Surprising
York was equally surprising.
Coach Diley's team completely
confounded the experts as they
came through with their second
district berth in three years. Prior
to l947 York had never been in
the district tournament.
In defeating Union, they pull
led another of the upsets that
make the annual basketball tourn-
ey one of the favorite sporting
events of the year with Union
County fans. The first half was
very close as neither York nor
Union could hit the basket
The halftime score was 1915 in
favor of York. The second half
saw Milford still unable to hit,
but York began putting them
in from all over the floor. The
third period score was 1926 in
favor Of the eventual winners.
In the last quarter three Union
regulars went out on fouls and
the game became a route. Union
did not score a field goal in the
fourth period.
Championship Game
Watkins was far below par Fri
day night. They were off on their
shots and seemed tense and jit-
terry. As usual, Frances Wade was
the deciding factor as he scored II
points and eXcelled in every de-
partment of play. Jack Rockhold
scored Is for York.

team all year with no one boy

38 shots for 40 percent, which is
very good.
Lead in First Half
Marysville outplayed their OPP
ponets badly in the first period
and held a 1910 lead at the end
of that quarter They continued
to held the edge throughout the
second quarter and led by mar
gin at the intermission.
The Monarchs faded in the
third period when they scored
only five points. This quarter
cost them the ball game as Belle
fontaine outpointed them 9-5 to
fashion their margin of victory.
Marysville made comeback in
the last period but it was too
late. The damage had been done
in the third quarter and with two
regulars completely off on their

to pull out of the hole.

BY Angelo Potri

Children who are born prema-
turely, or who have. been i'll for
long periods in early childhood,
are likely to be behind other chill
dren of their chronological age.
This puts them in grades below
their group. and it may account
for low I. O., which again grades
them below their age group. Some
times these children are classified
as mentally defective, and some
times. not always. this is correct.
What we must be most careful
about is to be quite certain that
we have done everything possible
to help these children overcome
the difhculties they face through
loss of time and the stimulating
experiences that usually inspire
their group.
It is experience that develops
children. Lessons help because
they are q set of directed expert
ences intended to promote men
tai development but lessons alone
will not result in q fully rounded,
well-developed child. Daily con-
facts with other children, with
people of all sorts, in the varied
activities af neighborhood and
family life are equally important
if not more SO.
These experiences were cur
tailed for the sick child. If the
teacher and the parents are wise
they will say. This child lost two,
three years Of life experiences. 80
he is likely to be that many years
behind. What can we do to give
him back what he has lost?
First, give him time. It is time
that he lost. Don't rush him and
push him to "catch up." That is
the surest way Of increasing his
backwardness. Begin to allow

him the necessary experiences Of
family life and school routine that
he should have had at the time
he was checked by illness. The
fact that he is Z is not to get
in the way Of the fact that he
has lost three years and must
begin to learn almost as q 4-year-
old child should.
The prematurely born child
needs tender, watchful care. He
came into the world before nature
had finished her work on him.
He was not ready to live In tAis
world. Men tried to do what ma
ture had not time to do and man
is no substitute for nature. The
child is handicapped from the
start and must be helped. Just
what that help is to be must be
determined by the experts, physi-
clans who specialize IN the care
of infants. Nobody else should
be permitted to prescribe for these
children and they should under
go no course Of training without
the physicians approval.
Some of the children given low
I. Q.'s and classed as backward
are normal for their age and ex-
|perience, and If correctly trained
and cared for will develop into
normal useful people. Give them
careful consideration,

hairdo that always manages to
look wonderful is the hairdo that
is manageable. Pick one that is
flattering and that can get along
neatly all day long with a mini
mum Of fuss. One good combing
in the morning and a perkup
session after lunch is about the
gist of it.
With short hair the vogue
right now. keeping your hai1
bright and neat isn't the chore il
used to be with long locks. The
short curled bob-call it a Michel
shock" gamin, feathercut, OF
swirl-is one that responds to the
home hairdo routine.
II your hair is naturally curly
you're a lucky one. All you do is
shampoo it, and when it dries
your little curls are all there with
out having a pin job done on
them. If you've a permanent or
your hair is on the straight side,
pin curl it. There's a trick to
Evening star., 1949-09-27

this, though. Turn every pin curl
across the back of your head in
the same direction. Break the
line behind the ears to start them
in another direction for side curls.
Those hundred strokes play a
great part in insuring a neat COLI
fure. This is NOT a once-a-week
matter. Every night a hundred
or more strokes. Practice makes
perfect in brushing, too. Follow
each stroke of your brush with a
stroke of your free hand to hold
the brushed hair where you want
it. The ends will be guided by
your twisting the brush over
where you want them to go.
While we're on the subject of
tresses beautiful, are you doing
anything to recondition them aft
er a season of sun and sea spray?
No story of beautiful hair has
ever been written that didn't in
clude the word cleaning" After
a summer session of the three
"s's," sun, sea and sand, we doubt
seriously that your hair resembles
straw" but we bet it doesn't look
too glossy!
Parched-brittle hair-horrible
sounding and equally horrible to
look at. But you can help your
self out Of this stage by going into
a "reconditioning" program of
your own. A good treatment we
know of consists of using liberal
applications of some Of the finest
hair products ever made. These
hair preparations have been in
use in America since 1907. They
have been formulated with the
view of simplicity both in number
Of preparations and In applica-
ton.
We suggest three Of these pro-
ducts be used in getting your hair
back in condition. First use the
No. cream on the hair and scalp
Including the ends and the entire
shafts of the hair. After q two
or three minute massage In order
to restore color and body, sham
poo with the lather oil shampoo,
first applying the shampoo di-
rectly to the hair. stretching it
into the ends Of the hair, then
adding water and working up into
a lather.
Your third preparation is -
cream rinse designed to help you
set your hair and for use as
hair dressing. This product may
be used Immediately after sham
pooing to help set kinky or too
curly hair, bleached, dyed or limp
hair. When used as a hair dress
| ing just use a small amount. Pour
into the palm of one hand. Rub
both hands and smooth the rinse
onto the hair in the usual manner.
