ment in this months READ

one which should be read over

OOPS!
A spinster is lady de-
sperate enough to play post

VIEWPOINT
Most hopeful note sounded
recently is that by Capt.
Eddie Rickenbacker. Said
Capt. Eddie IF flying
saucers do exist you can bet
that they belong to the u. S.
Airforce they don't come
from Mars and they don't
come from Russia"
REMEMBER
If you are air average per-
son, you are no nearer the
top than you are to the bot
tom!
INVENTION
Now they've done it! A new
kind of soap with hole in the
middle for shower takers.
Has suction cup attachment
so that you can stow it any
where. Won't get soggy and
can be held with string
through the hole.

I, can remember when LIB
ERTY magazine was one OF
the largest selling mags on
this or any marke Now
it is gone after more than rs
years of publication and with
a loss of millions. IN seven
more years our company will
have two newspapers more
than a hundred years old.
OVERHEARD
Overheard at the races was
this corker. A peanut and
popcorn butcher yelling -.
when are you smart people
going to spend some of your
money on something silly =

Argentine oats are under
selling u. S. oats by 25c per
bushel in New York despite
the fact that the U. S. is
loaded already. There is
four cent bushel duty on
the imported oats but they
still sell cheaper than our
own? :? /?
JOKE
Fellow told me that over in
his town the firemen always

Use OF Stone Produced Near Job
Saves on Cost Of County Highways

"Stone and Gravel products are
being produced at many points in
Union county, and in other coun-
ties short distance over the
county line, which does much to-
ward reducing cost of road con-
struction and maintenance by
cutting down the length of hauT',
says County Engineer N. w.
Llewellyn.
An example of savings can be
shown by the cost of reconstruc-
ton of about 3H miles of the
Collins rd., which was completed
during 1850. The base of this road
was built seven inches deep and
II feet wide of gravel produced
at the pit on the Cone Howard
farm, just beyond the westerly
end of this road construction.
More than 5000 tons of this
gravel was used at a cost of about
$1.10 per ton compacted, in place.
Material from other producers,
due to long haul, would have
cost not less than 81 more per
ton; thus $4,000 was saved by the

tions adopted annually by dele

it was pointed out by Ralph Va

presided at the meeting. "The
board of trustees acts within this
broad policy and has never en-
tered into partisan politics" he
said.

preted as expressing the views of
the Farm Bureau Federation. We
reiterate our policy of endorsing
principles, not individual candi-
dates" the statement concluded.

Tuesday Deadline
For Tax Reports

COLUMBUS-Some $4,000 en-
ployers subject to the Ohio I'm
employment Compensation Law
must file their tax reports and
make their tax payments for the
third quarter of 1850 on or be-
fore midnight Tuesday, Oct. 81,
the Bureau of Unemployment
Compensation warned today.
BUG Administrator Frank j.
Collopy pointed out that both
tax payments and reports must be
postmarked Oct. 81 or earlier to
avoid penalties imposed by the
Ohio Law. The Law provides for:
l. A penalty of 10 percent of
the tax amount due for each
quarterly report filed after the
due date, with minimum charge
of SIS and a maximum charge of
s25.
2. An interest charge of six per-
cent per wear of the tax amount
due for failure to pay the tax on
time. Each fraction of month
will be figured as full month in
computing the period for which
interest is being charged.
The reports and tax payments
are due from employers having
thre or more full-time or part
time workers on any one day
during the quarter. Twenty one
types of employment are not COW
cred by the Ohio Law, and en-
ployers who are uncertain wheth-
er or not they are subject to the
law are advised to write to: Ohio

Community Concert Association
To Present Soprano in First Program

The first concert of the 1850
1851 series presented by the Ma
rysville Community Concert as
sociation will be Carolyn Long,
lyric soprona, on Friday evening,
Nov. 3, in the High School audi
torium.
Miss Long, lyric soprano, is the
latest all-american singer-by
birth, training and talent. Be-
ginning of her adult career is the
current elimination of the muSi-
cal talent she displayed as a
child in her native Maryland,
where at the age of 6 she began
to play piano by ear and sang in
public for the first time, before
business convention of 5000
people.
Born in Cambridge, Md, in the
eastern shore section, Miss Long
was encouraged in her music from
the start. Her parents were both
amateur musicians, her mother
a pianist, her father singer;
Carolyn combined both their tai
entS. AT 16 she was awarded a
two-year scholarship in piano at
the Peabody Conservatory of
Music; soon afterwards she re-
ceived another scholarship in
voice, winning over 83 contest
ants. From THAT time, she con-
centrated on singing.
For four years she studied
voice and opera, and while still
at Peabody made her professional
debut in Baltimore as Letitia in
the premiere of the humorous
opera '"The Old Maid and the

Mid-Six Title
To be Decided
In Game Friday
MarYsville Faces
Seasons Toughest
Opponent at Westerville

Football championship of the
Mid-Six athletic league will be
at stake Friday evening when
Marysville high school faces
powerful Westerville, on the lat
ter's gridiron.
Whoever wins the game will
automatically win the Mid-Six
laurels. A tie game would also
result in a championship for Ma
rysville, because the new League
determines its winners on a point
system.
Under this system, a team gets
two points for each League win
and one point for a tie. Marys-
vile is currently on top of the
heap with four straight wins and
eight points. Westerville has
three victories and one tie, for
seven points.
The Mcnarchs really have a
task cut out for them if they
hope to w TX off with the
Leagues first championship.
according to all reports. Wes-
terville is by far the best team
the locals have faced all seas
son. and it will take the best
football Coach Wenzel's boys
know how to play in order to
win.
Only blot on the Dry-towners
record is a TT tie with London,
which the Monarchs last week
defeated $40. But don't compare
those scores and be fooled.
London's touchdown came
when a Westerville back fun
bled the ball behind his own goal
and London recovered for the
I'd. Other than that, the Raid
ers never so much as threatened
to score against the Westerville
power house.
Main threats of the Wester-
vile team are its two fleet
footed halfbacks, named Loar
and Burwell. These two lads are
very fast, and are hard runners
who are difficult to bring down.
They led their team last Friday
to a shattering 54-2 victory over
billiards, team which Marys-
vile beat only 32-0, and then by
virtue of thrse e last-quarter
touchdowns.
Fast. Heavy Line
Helping Burwell and Loar on
their scoring jaunts is a heavy,
hard-charging line. This line hits
hard and fast, and will h ave
something of weight advantage
over Marysville.
The Westerville line is particu-
larly tough on defense, having
allowed only Is points all sea-
son long, and eight of these came
on behind goal fumbles = the
one in the London game men
toned above, and the other lead

Stolen Cattle,
Sheep are Found

All of the cattle that were
stolen from the farm of John
Thiergartner, and all but four
of the AZ head of sheep stolen
from T. B. Rohen, have been re-
covered according to S eriff f
Walter T. Galloway.
The sheriff, after exhaustive
investigation, located the la S t
eight missing cattle belonging to
Mr.. Thiergartner in Brookville,
Ind. The other two had been
previously traced to a farm near
Cincinnati. Mr.. Thiergartner had
10 head of cattle stolen altogeth-
er.
MIR. Rohen's sheep were traced
to two different sources. Twenty
three head were found in Berry,
KY, just outside Cynthiana, and
20 more were found near Blan-
chester on the E. Wiederholt
farm. The other four sheep have
been butchered, Sheriff Gallo
way said.

county.
A comparative saving was
made by using stone from the
Union Stone CO., near Watkins,
for the road through Oraville in
Millcreek township, which was
close to the job.
Owing to the excessive tonnage
required for road construction, it
is always much cheaper to use
material close at hand, when
suitable for the. intended use, and
this is always followed by the
County Engineer.
The hauling of the large ton
mage required for road construc-
tion also does plenty of damage
to other roads and street pave
ments, which is seldom calculated
in the cost but is paid for by the
State, County and Villages in
general maintenance, Mr.. Llwel-
lyn added.

Future Highway
Projects Mapped

State Highway Director I. j.
Kaure said today the Highway
Department plans a 100000, 900
construction program in 1850 and
1851.
Actual construction will depend
upon how much money the next
legislature appropriates for the
department, plus the availability
of federal funds.
In Union county two projects
are planned. They are the widen
ing and resurfacing of 84 miles of
Route 4 north of Marysville to
Route 81 and the building of a
new bridge on Route 364 5 miles
southeast of Marysville.
Kauer said the planned pro-
gram, plus $8O,OOO,0OO in con-
struction to be completed this
year, makes Ohio's 'long-range
planning reality.
"We are winning the battle of
plan preparations which has al
ways been a bottleneck in the
department." he said. "In the fu-
ture, Ohio need no longer suffer
from political feast and famine
years of highway construction. "
The director added that plan
ming of the new construction had
been made possible by the de-
partment's bureau of planning
and programming, the engineers
training program and use of con-
sulting engineers by various cities.
All of the jobs planned for the
next two years are of the "emer-
gency" type to eliminate traffic
congestion and safety hazards, a
department spokesman said.

Hundreds Hear
Brown Address
Congressman Raps
Communists in u. S.

Before an applauding crowd
of several hundred citizens from
parts of Union county, Clarence
j. Brown, Republican candidate
for reelection as representative
fro mthe seventh district, gave
an inspired talk on the grave
Importance of today's issues.
Pointing out that the election
Nov z was not between Demo
crat and Republican, but be-
tween true Americanism and its
evil ponent, Communism,
Congressman Brown made very
clear that, due to tragic blund-
ers by the present administration
and its state department, the
United States virtually stands
alone in the world as the last
real stronghold of freedom.
Not only that, Mr.. Brown de-
clared, but our very government
at Washington for the past II
~ ears has been Systematically
bored from within by those who
wish to overthrow our Ameri-
can way of life.
Hits Yalta Dealings
Starting with Roosevelt's in
.sistenCe upon recognition of Rus
sia in 1888, up through the
shameful dealings at Yalta, in
spired by Alger Hiss as chief ad-
wiser on the Far East to F. D. R.,
and against the calm advice of
j ames ByrneS, Churchill and
Gen. Marshall, to the Potsdam
agreement of l945 by President
Truman, our foreign policy has
lost ground for us, in money,
blood and prestige as a world
power, Mr.. Brown asserted.
He had high praise for Gen.

rean war, and quoted former
