Monarchs Out-man London
24-O, for Sixth Straight Win

Taking advantage of several
timely breaks and playing heads
up football all the way, Marys-
villes high school rolled to 24-0
victory over London here Friday
evening.
1t was M arysVille' S 10th
straight game without a defeat
and set a new consecutive-win
record for the local school. Back
in l926-28, Marysville won IA
consecutive games over three
seasons.
Friday nights victory was the
sixth straight this year for the
Monarchs, and their fourth in the
Mid-SiX league. The wide mar
gin was a pleasant surprise to
Marysville fans who had been
looking to the London game with
anxiety and would gladly have
settled for a one-point margin
before the tilt started.
Marysville Best Team
While the Marysville cause was
helped by several breaks, espec-
tally during the first half, Lon
don was up against a better team
and was outplayed practically all
the way.
Finally, after the Raiders had
blocked a Marysville punt on the
Monarch 10, early in the fourth
quarter and then failed to gain
an inch in four downs, they fell

OF Sheep Thief's Wife to Reporter

In three hours time, she only
made three statements.
She commented on her hus-
bands well-being saying:
Hes getting good food at the
Jail and as long as he has plenty
of funny books he'll be all right.
When it was pointed out to
Mrs. Garvey that while her hus-
band is relatively comfortable in
jail, she and her four children
are almost destitute, she smiled
brokenly and said,

Hundreds Hear
Ebright Speak
In Town Friday
Republican Candidate
For Governor Guest
At Luncheon Here

A large crowd was on hand
Friday noon to hear Don H. Eb-
right, Republican candidate for
governor, speak on issues involv-
ed in the present political cam
paign.
Mr.. Ebright spoke from the
Court House steps. High school
classes were dismissed Friday
noon so that students could also
hear him.
In his remarks, which were de-
livered informally, Mr.. Ebright
decried the trend toward CEN
tralized government, in both
state and national policies, which
he said is taking authority away
from local governments.
Blsmes Democrats
Responsibility for this trend he
laid to the Democrats, and urged
election of the Republican ticket
as the party to bring halt to this
trend and restore good govern
ment to the nation.
He pledged, if elected, that he
would work for the passage of a
bill to increase teachers salaries
and to otherwise help the states
public schools.
One thing upon which Mr.. Eb-
right placed special emphasis
was the matter of everyone vot-
ing, regardless of how they voted.
He cited figures to show that a
relatively small proportion of
Ohio's voters had gone to the
polls in previous elections, and
complimented local or G n a.
tions which are working toward
getting out the vote on Nov. z.
Luncheon At Dinner Bell
, Following his talk, Mr.. Eb-
right was luncheon guest of
Union county Republican work
ers and candidates in the Din
ner Bell restaurant. Following the
luncheon, he spoke briefly and
| informally to those present, again
urging that everything possible
be done to get all eligible voters
to the polls.
Clifton L. Caryl, Union county
representative to the General AS
sembly, introduced Mr.. Ebright
both places.

"The Boy Scout Camporee
was an outstanding success and
/ was very pleased with the re-
sponse from all the troops" said
Robert Wentz, Union county
Scout commissioner.
Every troop in the county was
represented. In addition to that
the conduct and general spirit
of the attending scouts was un-
usually high, he continued.
The scouts this year had 43
percent increase in attendance
over last year, with 80 boys and

oree held on the Redwood Fair
grounds.

Kiwanis Kapers
Koming Kloser

1t is hard for a reporter to get
a clean-cut story on Kiwanis
Klowning or whatever they call
it.
The Reverend is close mouthed,
although he certainly gives out
in church! In this extra-curricula
role he gets coy.
Il amt talkin'," he says in his
best offs a ge English. See
Greeneisen", he adds abruptly.
That's a laugh, because Frank
is too busy telling people how
to grow two blades of grass where
one corn-stalk formerly grew.
So we go back to Oscar Ham
merstein Goedeking again. "Try
Wall'', says he as he looks up
from the manuscript he is writ
ing.
Wall is president of the club
but between coal, bond drives,
fire prevention and helping get
two kids through college he hard
ly has time for the Taft cam
paign as it is.
This does not mean things
aren't progressing. With Doc
Asman taking voice lessons, Bill
Snodgrass a short course in dra-
mates and Fred Gabriel dancing
instructions, it is evident that
the Old Guard will save the day
Curtain time, in case you've
forgotten, will be 8 p. m. Nov
16 and II at the high school audi
torium. People will probably
start standing in line for tickets
about the 10th.

j don't KNOW nOInln
That was practically the only
statement made by Mrs. James
Garvey, wife of one Ct the no.
torious Union county sheep
thieves, during the three-hour
interview Saturday f tie + noon
with The Journal reporter.
To say that Mrs. Garvey is
non-committal is an understate-
ment. Even to such unimportant
questions as where do you live"
she would reply:
II don't know"
Obviously cautioned a g ain st
talking to anyone, Mrs. Garvey
refuses even to reveal the names
and ages of her four children.
