Mormon G. Williums
Lutest to Announce
For County Auditor

Norman c.. Williams, deputy
auditor and deputy sealer of
weights and measures of Union
County and resident of Liberty
Township, has announced him
self as Republican candidate
for the office of County Auditor.
Mr.. Williams was born in Wash
ington township and since 1899
has resided in Liberty Township
on farm which he has operated
for several years. He is a gradu-
ate of the Mt Victory High
School, and Bliss Business Col
lege of Columbus, taught school
a number of years in Union and
Logan Counties, served eight
years as a member and clerk of
the Liberty Township School
Board.
He retired from farming in
1945 to accept the position of de-
putty county auditor, therefore
he feels that his five years ex-
perience in the auditors office
duly qualities him for the posi-
tion as auditor.
Mr.. Williams states that he
never has held an elective County
Office.

Widz1eE in Fifth Season.
'sMuki11q E11viuble Record

Tuesdays encounter with Plain
City marked Head Basketball
Coach Warren Widner's 10lst
game since he came to Marysville
in 1945. When Mr.. Widner took
over here, the cage sport was at
a low ebb, but in five seasons the
Monarchs have become one of the
class "B" powers of central Ohio.
In the course of those 101

long end of the score 73 times, a
percentage of .723 against the
best of competition. During this
time his TENS have scored 4303
points as compared with 3457 for
the opposition.
This is an offensive average of
42.6 per game and defensive
average of 342, good in any
league. Best single offensive year
has been the current season dur
ing which his Monarchs have aV-
eraged 48 points per game. Best
year for the defense was the
1946-47 season as the opponents
were held to 80 markers per con-
test.

MonarChs Win
Over Plain City,
46-27, Tuesday
Turn-AwaY Audience
Witnesses Contest
Reserve Team Wins

Marysville's Monarchs made it
IL wins in 13 starts Tuesday
with a 46-37 win over a good
Plain City team before a turn
away crowd in the local gym. So
many people came to see the
game that it was necessary to
close the doors at GAS p. m, Is
minutes before game time.
The Monarchs were able to
stop the sharp shooting Plain
City offense with one exception,
Oscar Jefferson. This Scottie piv-
OF man, although not tall. has
proved that he is one of the best
the Monarchs will face.
He scored 81 points in Tuesday
nights contest after hitting for
Is in the first game at Plain
City on Dec. 6. The Scotties had
not lost a game since being edged
42-41 by the Monarchs on that
date. Their only other loss was to
South Charleston in an early
season contest.
McCracken High Scorer
The Monarchs' center, Charles
McCracken, played his best game
of the season as he scored 18
points and contributed a fine
floor game. Bud Hoffman scored
IL and also was instrumental in
the Monarch victory. AS usual,
however, it was team victory
with everyone aiding in it.
The Marysville defense was
good, on the whole, as Jefferson
will not be stopped by anyone
this year, from past appearances.
Although there is no question
that the Scottie center is good,
there can also be little doubt
that he was also slightly ''hot"
against the MonarchS Tuesday.
Many of his shots were almost
impossible to stop, some being
little more than pass batted
toward the basket. A number of
these went through the hoop, too.
Coach Warren Widner said
that his team played one of its
best games of the year in down
ing the Scotties. The Plain City
team, although short, is good
shots and good ball handlers.
Few Fouls Called
One of the features of the
game was the small number of

The years low of three degrees

During this cold spell the mercury
dropped to three degrees on Jan.

There was very little snow as
both last winter and the earlier

Corn Acreage
Data Sought

Corn growers in Union County
were uregd today to cooperate
fullEwith PIMA Community COM
mitteemen who are now conduct
ing a survey of farms throughout
the county. Wilby r. Cochenour,
chairman of the County PIMA
Committee, said that the commit
temen are already at work gath
ering reports of corn acreage dur
ing the past three years.
These reports will be used to
establish individual farm acreage
allotment for 1850 The allot-
ments would be based generally
on the farms corn acreage his
tory for 1947, 1948 and 1949.
''Any farmer who operates a
farm which produced corn in any
of the years, 1947, 1948, or 1949,
should contact the county PIMA
office if he has not furnished a
committeeman corn acreage data
Tor MS tafm.
eff any farmer will be pro-
ducing corn in 1850 on a farm
where no corn was planted during
the period l947, 1948, or l949, he
should file a written request for
a corn acreage allotment with
the county PIMA office. The last
date for filing such request is
January q, 1950".
Allotments for the 1850 corn
crop will apply to every corn
farm in Union County.
The survey is particularly i'm
portant because the new price
support law directs that price
supports on the 1850 corn crop be
set at 80 percent of parity "to
cooperators."

Cleveland Minister
To Speok Sunday
On Methodist Series

The Rev. Howard Brown will
come from Cleveland Sunday,
Jan. %, to speak at the second in
a series of Sunday evening serv-
ices arranged by the Methodist
Church for the entire community.
He will speak at 7:30 p. m., and
everyone is cordially invited to
hear him.
The Rev. Mr.. Brown gradual
ed from Ohio Wesleyan Univers-
ity and from the Garrett Bible
Institute in Evanston, Ill. His
ministerial activities were con-
fined to the state of Indiana until
a year ago, when he went from
Central Methodist Church in
Richmond to the Church of the
Saviour in Cleveland Heights,
one of the most important Meth
odist pulpitS in Ohio.
Although this will be the Rev
Mr.. Browns first visit to Marys-
vile, he is not unfamiliar with
the town. He received his 33rd
degree in Masonry in Boston
with Charles Mills; his church
family in Richmond included Mr.
and Mrs. Joe Reed; and new
members of his church in Cleve-
land are Mr.. and Mrs. Harlow
Salter.
A cordial welcome awaits the
Rev. Mr.. Brown, and all who car

First Season Poorest

FIRST season poorest
During 1945-46, Mr. Widner's
first year in Marysville, the To-
Gals, paced by Frank Diehl and
Leo Robinson, won 13 and lost
eight. They were eliminated in
the third game of the district
tourney by Grove City 43-37. 1t
is worthy of note that of the
eight teams to defeat the locals,
three of them were met in return
games and all were beaten. They
also won the Mid-State League.
The next year fighting bunch
of Monarchs went to the finals
of the district tourney before
losing an overtime thriller to
Plain City 40-38. This team also
had a 1873 overall record,
The 47-48 season was Marys-
ville's, year. The locals, with an
all-veteran team, went through
the season with 14-5 record and
added four more wins in the dis
trict tourney, defeating Worth
ington 1884 for the title. They
were beaten 1925 by Lockland-
Wayne in their first game in the
regional at Springfield.
Last Years Record
Only John Dayton returned to
the Monarchs from that team for
the 48-49 season. This campaign
was one of almost equal success,
however, as the locals compiled
a seasons record of II wins and
five losses. They lost in the fin
ais of the district tourney to a
red-hot London team 40-39.
The present campaign is more
than half over, and the Monarchs
have IL wins in 13 games. They
have seven contests to play, plus
the district, and, we hope, even
additional games.
All during his career, Mr.. Wild
ner has taught his teams
smooth, set offense, and an air
tight defense that has paid off
time and time again. Race-horse
basketball has no place here and
it is seldom that fast breaking
team works well against the
Monarehs. se
Foe Get Few Good Shots
Many of Marysville's victims
have raised the excuse that they
were mot hitting that night" but
usually it was a case of being
held to minimum of good shots
by the Monarch defense.
The Marysville mentor is a
graduate of Ohio Northern Uni
versity where he learned his bas-
| ketball well and has been equally
successful at passing it along to
Marysville teams of the past five
years.

Blood Donors are Slow in Signing Up

The Red Cross Bloodmobile

able lack of interest with only
six or eight having registered so
far, William D. Lee, chairman of
the local committee reported. A

This time was set for the Blood

that it would interfere with the

will put Marysville over their
quota.

pointment to donate blood should
