half, Marysville High school
picked up steam the final two
periods and rolled to a 1897

archs were not particularly inn
pressive, especially the first half.
Had it not been for Bud Hoff-
mans Is points the first two
quarters, Marysville would have
been in a sad plight, indeed.
Although the Monarchs were
considerably taller than Plain
City the Scotties o~ut-fought
Marysville under the basket and
came up with the ball most of
the time the first half. They

the locals, coming up with a bet

Second Half Better
The second half was a differ
ent story. The Monarchs began
functioning more as a team,
worked the ball in better and
shot better. The scoring was

Wish Always Dreamed or
All Girls Describe Their
Experiences at Club Congress
By MARILYN AMRINE and
MARCIA GREEN

This year a wish that we have
always dreamed of came true. We
were able to attend the National
All Club Congress in Chicago,
However, this didn't happen just
accidentally. 1t took a lot of work
to get to go. We won the state
demonstration for general cook
ing at the State Fair this year.
This demonstration has taken a
lot of time. We practiced giving
it about one-hundred times.
National All Club Congress is
held once a year in November.
The headquarters are at the
Stevens Hotel in Chicago. This
year was the tWenty-ninth annual
Club Congress. There were
twelve hundred delegates there
representing every state in the
Union. There were many repre-
Sentativs from other countries,
guests, and leaders.
There were twenty-eight dele
gates and three leaders from
Ohio who attended the Congress
This year Union County had six
of the twenty-eight more than
any other county in Ohio. All
delegates who lived near. Colum-
bus met there at Union Station,
Saturday afternoon, November
25. The rest of the Ohio delegates
met at Cleveland. However, be-
cause of the snowstorm they
didn't get in Chicago until Sun
day night.
Our train arrived in Chicago
Sunday morning at 3:15 a. m.
We were six hours late. There
everyone got a taxi and went to
the hotel. We registered and then
went to our rooms at $3.50 in the
morning, 4:30 Ohio time. We were
lucky enough to get a suite
which was very nice.
Sunday morning the Ohio dele
gates met in Exhibition Hall IN
the hotel and received our in
StructionS. We then went to a
church of our choice. At noon the
Ohio delegation ate together at
the Y. M. c. A. In the afternoon
everyone went to a general as
sembly in the Grand Ballroom
of the Stevens. The speaker was
Judge Camille Kelly, of Mem
phis, Tenn. She was the first
woman judge in the United
States. Sunday evening the All
delegates and leaders were guests
of the Sunday Evening Club
which a group of business men
who have church services there
every Sunday night organized,
The building where the services
are held is very large. 1t had
three rows of balconies,
Monday morning a breakfast
and entertainment was given for
all delegates and leaders in the
Grand Ballroom of the Stevens
where most of the banquets were
held. Different companies spon-
sored our banquets and souven-
irs were given at every banquet,
For entertainment we saw a var
iety show which was very good.

More Meat Production
Meat production is expected to
increase next year. There is ex-
pected to be more pork and beef
than in 1850 but perhaps less
lamb and mutton because sheep
growers may hold back from the
market large numbers of lambs
to build up herds due to wool
shortage. Supplies of chicken and
turkey meat, and eggs, are ex-
pected to continue at a high level.
More fresh and frozen fish will
probably be available. Supplies
of canned fish will be somewhat
smaller, at least through the first
