Council to Buy
New Police Car

Purchase of new Ford police
cruiser and the extension of the
parking meter zone was ap-
proved by the village council at
their meeting held in the city
building Thursday evening.
The low bid on the new cruiser
was made by the Evans Motor
Sales, Ford dealers. They offered
to furnish the city with a new
cruiser for $767 plus the old car,
1916 Ford. No date has been set
for the new cruiser to be deliver
ed as yet.
The councilmen also approved
the installation of parking meters
on E. Fifth st. They did this upon
receiving a petition from the
merchants of that block. The
meters will probably be ordered

tell when they will arrive and
be put into operation.
/ The council also discussed the
installation of a storm sewer in
the w. Third st. and Grand ave
area. The street committee was
given power to act. They also
considered the construction of {
large storm sewer on First st.
although no defininte plans were
lmade.
The matter of replacing the
bridge over the Town Run or
Plum ST. was brought up but nc
action was taken. Routine bills
were ordered paid and the meet
ing was adjourned.

Three Cage Tilts
Booked Tuesday

County teams will meet three
out of county cage foes Tuesday
w lille Marysville's Monarchs
meet an improving Marion st.
Marys team at Marion, Thursday.
The Monarchs have a record
of Ia wins and one loss so far
and they will be all out to protect
that mark when they tangle with
the upset-minded Irish Thursday.
All season long the Irish have
been long on scoring power but
short on defense and this may be
their downfall, Championship of
the Mid-State league, which will
'fold UP" at the end of this sea-
son, will be at stake in this game.
Marysville's balanced attack
and tight defense proved the
Irish doom here on Jan. Is and it
could easily be the same again.
The game will probably be play
ed in the old Edison junior high
gym as the new coliseum is not
expected to be finished.
Middleburg of Logan County
will travel to Raymond, who
handed them 55-17 defeat some
time ago. Mark up another vic
tory for the Union County team.
Magnetic Springs will play at
Ostrander and should add an
other game to their win column.
The Resorters hold a 45-37 win
over Ostrander in the first game
of the year.
Bellepoint of Delaware County
will play at Darby in the third
game. Bellepoint should take this
one as easily as they did in their
first encounter with the Wild
cats.

Three More Announce Candidacy
For Position OF Union County Auditor

Frank E.. Smith, widely-known
resident of Leesburg Township
and former Union County audi
tor, revealed last week he is a.
gain a candidate for that posi-
ton He is Republican and will
be subject to the Republican
primary May 2.
Mr.. Smith served in the audi
tors office from 1886 through
1912, when he was succeeded by
the present incumbant, Frank T.
McCurdy.
While in office, Mr.. Smith was
one of the most able public Off
cials Union County ever had.
With the county "in the red" when
he took over, he put it on a sound
fiscal basis and soon had a sub
stantial balance in the general
operating fund.
Perhaps the best-remembered
event of Mr.. Smiths term in Of
tice was the time he put "in their
place" some experts" of the
Ohio Chamber of Commerce who
attempted to come to Marysville
and tell Union County officials
how things should be run.
After leaving the auditors Of
flee, Mr.. Smith moved to a farm
in Leesburg township which he
still operates. Prior to that, he
had been engaged in the tire bus
mess in Marysville, his concern
being located on S. Plum st.
where Eastern Order Buying Co.
has its truck repair shop.

2 KILLED IN WRECK SATURDAY
MonarChs Edge
Tough Redwood
Team, 4l-36
Tigers Performance
Said Among Years Best;
M. Fl. S. Reserves Win

MarySville's Monarchs emerged
with hard won 41-36 victory
over a fighting Redwood team
Friday night as standing room
only crowd saw the underdog
Tigers play one of their best
games of the season in the Mon
arch gym.
The game was close all the
way except for a time during the
last half when the Monarchs ex-
tended their lead to II points.
The Tigers played a good, steady
game throughout and it is not
hard to see how they downed
Westerville by IL points.
If they had played this kind
of ball all year the losses to Mt.
Gilead, Plain City, and st. Marys
might probably have been a diff
ferent story. The Tiger offense
was spanked by Jim Harrison
who hit for nine field goals for
18 points. However he missed
eight free throws that would
have put Redwood very much
in the ball game.
Shields Held Down
Chuck Shields, high scoring
Tiger forward, was held to nine
points by the fine defensive
work of Bill Boyd and Charles
McCracken. Had it not been for
their ability to hold Shields down
the game mught have been a diff
ferent story. Shields and Harri-
son scored 27 of the losers SO
points. Both are good ball players.
The. entire Redwood team
played good floor game on both
offenSe and defense and Marys-
vile fans were calling it one of
the best teams to come out of
Redwood in some time.
For Marysville, there was no
one outstanding player Bud
Hoffman played his usual good
floor game and took a great many
rebounds. He scored ii points
to pace the scoring for the win
points. John Evans scored 10
points including several long set
shots, and played a brilliant floor
game. Smed Hendricks put in IL
points, eight of them in the third
period, to keep the Monarch at
tack rolling.
Shooting 80 Percent
Marysville hit on 80 percent of
their shots, l6 out of So attempts,
while the North-enders made
good on ID of 48 for 29 per cent,
very little difference. Marysville
hit on nine of IL free throw at
tempts while the Tigers made
only eight of %.
Coach Warren Widner said
that his boys played a good
game, although not their best,
and he complimented the Rich
wood team on its fine showing.
The Tigers played a clean, con-
sistant brand of ball, and could
have upset Marysville had the
Monarchs been much more below
par.

the previously unbeaten Rich
wood seconds 1925 with jim

Don D. Carmean, former dry
goods merchant in MarySville,
last week announced he will be a
candidate for Union County
auditor, subject to the Republi
can primary election May 2.
Mr. Carmean said his candi-
dacy was prompted by his obser-
vation, while serving as an ap-
praiser on the reappraisal of real
estate last year, that "big city
interests" had succeeded in pass
ing a law which will permit the
state to dictate the fiscal policies
of local communities.
II want to be in a position, if /
can, to help preserve our local,
home-rule against the inroads of
city interests" he declared.
Mr.. Carmean retired 41a years
ago after having operated the
Carmean Dry Goods store in S.
Main st. (where Littles, Inc, is
now located) for more than three
decades. Originally he was a
partner of the late r. E. Kerr in
the business known as Kerr &
Carmean.
In his younger days, he was an
active Boy Scout leader in
Marysville, being the organizer
and first Scoutmaster, back in
1927, of Troop 101.
William G. Mccarthy, Marys-
vile Democrat, announced last
week that he will file for the Of
flee of Union County auditor. He
apparently will be the only De-
mocrat seeking the position.
Former business man in
Marysville, Mr.. Mccarthy recent
ly sold his establishment in f
Fifth st. to Dana Daniels and
Jack Kreakbaum. He served two
years as a member of City Coun-
! Gil but was not reelected last
fall.

Pepper Beaten By Smathers
In Race Hate Campaign

inthe senatorial race which end
ed in the May z primaries here.
Winner in the Democratic pri-

state.
Sen. Pepper who had been a
staunch supporter ofthe late Presi-

and who had gone along with
President Truman's civil rights
program had been expected to re-
tain the seat he had held for ID
years with the help of the Negro

been corraling in the state. But
the antipathy inspired by the
knowledge Of the CLOS presence
helped bring out the opposition.
About 70 percent of the states
registered voters were reported to
have gone to the polls.
The campaign was one of the
bitterest ever staged inthe state
with the race issue as used by
Smathers being a determining fac
tor. Although he had hitherto been
considered fairly friendly to Ne

port in his congressional camp

that might be used by race-hating
