Schools to Remdin
Closed Till Monday:
Rouds Still Clicked

Marysville Public Schools, as
well as those in the county sys-
tenn, will remain closed the rest
of this week. They had originally
been scheduled to reopen this
morning.
Both Supt. H. w. Carr and
County Supt. Gale w. Baldwin
said that, under the new program,
classes will resume next Monday,
weather permitting"
Time lost as a result of being
closed because of the weather
conditions will not have to be
made up under the School Foun-
dation Program, Supt. Carr said.
Under some circumstances (such
as when the schools close for the
county fair) the time lost by clos
ing must be made up in order for
a school to receive it's full alot-
ment of state funds. Unavoidable
closing, however, is not charged
against the school.

Downtown Streets About
Free of Snow as Additional
Men, Equipment are Used
Two Maintenance
Crews Work LONG
Hours to Do Job
Four Extra Trucks.
Three "High-Lifts"
Accomplish Big Task

Downtown Marysville was
pretty well freed of its 18-inch
blanket of snow this morning,
thanks to Herculean efforts of
street maintenance employees of
the Village. Residential streets
and most rural highways are still
choked with huge snow banks,
however.
Before it is all removed, the
record-breaking snowfall is going
to cost the Village hundreds of
dollars, besides all the inconven-
fence to motorists.
In order to handle all that snow,
it has been necessary to hire sew
eral additional men and rent adj
ditional trucks and other equip
ment.
Start Monday Morning
Working under Street Com
missioner Charles Woerstell, sew
eral crews started Monday haul
ing the snow from downtown
streets. BY Wednesday night,the
street were cleared one block
each direction from the Public
Square.
Instead of their usual eight
hour day, the street employees
have been working II hours to
clear away the snow. They have
started at 1870 4. m. each day and
worked until 8 p. m.
In addition to six regular street
employees, Mr.. Woerstell has had
eight extra working most of the
time, and IL extras part of the
time.
He has had two city trucks

Wildlife Conditions
Bod. Coleman SuYs;
Feeding Urged

ssThe condition of wild game in
Union county will soon reach the
critical stage, unless farmers and
others interested in the welfare
of these creatures set out food
for them"
William l.. Coleman, repre-
sentative of several sportsman
organizations in the county and
a member of the State Advisory
Conservation Committee m d e
this statement concerning Union
county wildlife.
"Due to the heavy blanket of
snow, it is almost impossible for
such animals and fowl rs rabbits,
pheasants, squirrels, and quail to
procure food" he said.
Each person should do his
bit by setting out some food for
the animals. Wheat cleanings and
screenings make excellent feed
and are unusable products so far
as any other consumption is con-
cerned.
'Those interested in the main
tenance of wildlife in the coun-
ty for hunting purposes should
be especially interested in this
project. Numbers of animals
have already died from lack OF
food, and many more will die in
the next few days unles this stu
alton is alleviated."

Postmaster H. c. Doellinger,
issued his annual appeal today
for correct addressing and early
mailing of Christmas greetings
and gifts.
The postmaster predicted that
this years flood of Christmas
mail will break l949's high.
Handling this huge volume of
Christmas mail will tax post Of
flee facilities to the limit" he
stated. But we will get every
thing delivered by Christmas if
we receive the full cooperation
of the public"
Christmas packages for dis
tant points should be mailed by
Dec. 5 the postmaster advised.
Christmas gifts for nearby points
should be at the parcel post win
dows by Dec. II.
Christmas cards destined for
out-of-state should be deposit
ed by Dec. Is, and cards for loc-
al delivery at least a week be-
fore the holiday,
The postmaster also suggested:
Get a few air mail and special
delivery stamps, too, for speed
ing your greetings to friends you
may remember at the last min
ute"
Buy Stamps Early
Buying stamps is one part of
your Christmas shopping that
can be completed really early.
II will save you valuable time,
when the holiday rush begins
asd the post office lines are
long.
The postmaster also advised
early purchase of heavy fiber
board, sturdy wrapping paper,
strong cord and printed fourth
class labels for parcel post. He
pointed out that fragile items
must be individually cushioned
in a strong shipping carton such
as a fiberboard box. Packages are
limited to 20 pounds in weight
and must not exceed 100 inches
in length and girth combined.

Stranded Plumbers Help Repair
Frozen Pipes in Home During Storm

Many interesting events took
place during the recent storm.
Some of the happenings were
near-tragic in character, others at
least smacked of hardship and re
versed plans, when stranded
people found themselves the vic
TINS of a maverick element.
But in some cases, interesting
contacts were made by local resi-
dents, as the results of taking in
people who needed shelter for the
night. One case of just such a
pleasant association occurred
when Edward Woods, of Marys-
vile Rt. 4, found himself host to
80 people who couldn't drive
through the snow storm any fur

Car Jumps Rails.
Trains Delayed

Railroad travel through Ma

hours Wednesday morning when
a car on New York Central train

6:55 a. m.
The last car jumped from the
rails near the Marysville found
ry, and was not replaced on the
tracks until 10 a. M, a little over
three hours later.
The train was headed for Co.
lumbuS from Toledo, when the
car was derailed. The reason for
the occurance is as yet unknown,
Nc one was injured, and the
car was placed back on the track
by the train crew by the use OF
jacks and blocks.
In the meantime, however, the

also headed for Columbus from
Toledo.
This train was delayed for two
hours in Marysville due TO the
derailment of the freight train
in front of it.
The 35 passengers huddled off
the train and down to a local
restaurant for breakfast during
the tWo-hour wait.
Member of the train crew, En-
gineer Sniff and Conductor Gil
den, did everything possible to
make the delay a comfortable
one for their passengers.
No trains had to be rerouted
because of the derailment. Aside
from the passenger train delay,
the train still ran their routes
as usual.
