politics is the liveliest OF their
interests. Not national or in
ternational politics so much,
but school politics. Each
semester a Seven-member stu
dent council is selected. This
gives the students a chance to
put into practice some of the
things they learn in the
course of running errands
about the floors of Congress.
THE electioneering and log
rolling around here at such
times is terrific" says Orson
w. Trueworthy, the school
principal.
Last year the student coun-
Gil showed what it thought
was political aStuteneSs by
voting a keep 'em happy
program, consisting of pro-
yiding free chocolates out of
earned surplus funds. How
ever, this year the council,
thinking to free itself from
any faint of bribery, discon-
tinued that program. Instead,
it instituted a new regimen
whereby the students come to
school Is minutes earlier and
enjoy a 15-minute break in
the coffee shop about mid
session. The students seem
happy about 1t.

CTUDENTS who not only

make it are the II blue-clad
boys of the Capitol Page
School.
These messengers of the

other high school students in
the country.
Until this year the school
was in a remote corner of the
Capitol Building itself.
Although the school is di-
rectly supported by appro-
priations from Congress it is,
like public high schools in
the District, under supervision
of the local Board of Educa-
ton. 1t offers virtually the
same four-year course as is
found in other local high
schools. Due to a shortage of
certain facilities, however,
some of the students have to
supplement their daytime
studies with an hour or two in
night schools. For example,

istry would have to go to

Sweeney in United States District
Court yesterday for contempt in
failing to comply with the courts

The trustees said that the RFC
refused to turn over 100000 in

money is it's property.
C. Keefe Hurley, one Of the
three trustees, told Judge Sweeney
that the RFC had disclosed or

tentions of foreclosing on the
plant for a 81 million loan.

Although Mr.. Cabot and Mr.

as the RIGS position:

the trustees reorganization plan.
2. Despite the court decision
that the company was solvent, the
RFC felt stockholders had nc

total of approximately $50 poles

covered by the Marysville branch.
1897 Storm Worse
"The sleet storm of 1887 equaled
this in damage" Mr.. Palmer de-
clared. This area is usually not
heavily hit by sleet and the high
er country near Bellefontaine
usually suffers the brunt of the
storms, he added.
All toll lines leading out of Ma
rysville, with the exception OF
those to Columbus, were put out

the Bellefontaine line being hit
worst, Mr.. Palmer stated. 1t will

back to normal.

mately 500 farms were without

to cut coalburning passenger
trains by 25 percent to save the
nations dwindling stockpiles.
Supply Short of Demand
Working only three day a week
on Lewis orders, the miners
simply are not bringing enough
coal above the ground to meet the
demand. Hence, faced with serious
shortages, railroads are forced to
curtail service.
1t was just last Dec. 8 that the
two daytime trains were re-
stored to service between Colum-
bus and Toledo, after having been
taken off Oct. II due to a COM
plete and paralyzing shutdown
of the coal mines by an industry
wide strike.
Trains affected by the order
are:
No. 7-Northbound from Co.
lumbus to Toledo, due in Marys-
vile at 10:41 a. m.
No. 8-Southbound from Toledo
to Columbus, due in Marysville
at Glib p. m.
Forced to Restore Service
Other time these trains were
out of service was in the spring of
1948. At that time, another Lewis
instigated coal strike forced their
removal in March. The New York
Central failed to put them back
on the run until early June of
that year, when they were forced
to do so by action before the Pub
lie Utilities Commission of Ohio,
Of course, the New York Cen
tral doesn't mind in the least
having to take those two trains
out of service.
The Railroad Co. has been try
ing to do so since June, l948 by
formal request through the Utilit-
les Commission. In this instance,

worst in this area in several
years, played havoc with tele-
phone and power lines in Union

lightly hit in comparison with
Bellefontaine and other Cham
paign County towns.
Almost one-third of the sub

Three Cage Tilts
On Tap Tuesday
Monarchs at Delaware;
Redwood, Union Busy

Three top flight cage games
are on tap for Union County fans
Tuesday night, although only
one of them will be played on a
county court.
Once-beaten Marysville will
travel to Delaware to take on the
powerful Panthers of Willis.
Delaware went down to the Mon
archs 6l-31 on Dec. 13 in one of
the locals best games of the
year but this time things could
be different. The Delaware sup
porters claim to have a new of
fense that takes full advantage
of big Jack McKinnie's scoring
power.
The Monarchs have looked
good in their eight wins to date
but they also proved that a let
down can be disastrous as the
Westerville game will testify. The
Marysville cagers should take the
Panthers if they are in top form
but a Delaware win is not out of
the picture.
Richwood's Tigers, also once
beaten, will travel to Plain City
to engage the dangerous Scotties
A Redwood win would erase
some of the sting on the Mt. Gil
cad defeat and the close call with
Magnetic Springs. Plain City will
be favored on the basis of their
close game with Marysville and
their win over London.
Urbana Local will help Union
break in their new gym Tuesday
as the powerful Champaign
County team plays the Wolves in
their first game on the new
court. They hold 1876 win over
Milford in their first meeting but
the Wolves missed their first IL
free throws in that contest anC
were generally off. This time il
could be a different story.

MarYsville Lawyers S
Article Published
In Law Mugdzine

In November, 1949, issue of the
University of Cincinnati Law Re-
view, there appeared an article
entitled "An Experiment in the
Measurement of Judicial Quail
fications in the Supreme Court of
Ohio, written by Todd Hopes
of the law firm of Myers and
Hopes.
1t is condensation of Mr.
Hopes thesis written while he
was working on his master OF
arts degreee in political science
and teaching at Ohio State Uni
versity in 1947 -48.
Although the article is pub
lished in a law magazine, it
should be of interest to the lay
man, as it gives detailed analysis
of the qualifications of the SUI
preme Court judges of the State
of Ohio since 1903.
One of the points brought out
by Mr.. Hopes is that almost one
half of the counties of Ohio have
not furnished one of their resi-
dents as a judge. Union County
has been represented by the
Honorable James E. Robinson.
The immense amount of pains
taking research and the logical
conclusions drawn by Mr.. Hopes
make this article of such import
ance that the editors of the mag
azine hope similar studies of ju-
dicial personnel in other states
may be developed.
