MarysviIle, Redwood Grid
Squads Start Regular Drills

Both Marysville and Redwood
High School football teams are
undergoing intensive prelimin-
ary drills this week in prepara-
tion for their opening games
little more than three weeks
away.
A lot of work remains to be
done on both squads during those
three weeks and these first week
practices have been limited
mostly to conditioning and funda-
mental drills. This is too early
for either coach to have defin-
lite idea as to which boys are
coming along the fastest although
both are building on preseason
plans.
At Marysville Coach Paul Wen
eel has the unenviable task of
finding two tackles to replace
last years graduated veterans.
1t is obvious that he will not be
able to match them in weight but

What motorist has not, at one

The council suggested two
means of eliminating this men

Cd Take cattle across the road

to transfer from place to place.
(2) The possibility of building
subterranean cattle crossings un-

German Girl Exchange Student
To IT, S. Visiting Bouics This Week

Attractive Sigrid SchaaI from
the war-Shattered area of Wur-
temberg- Baden is in the United
States to learn the All club pro-
gram, that she may teach it upon
her return to the western Ger
many Land Youth Organiza-
ton" whom she represents on
an exchange basis.
Miss Schaal arrived in Wash
ington d. c. June ID, aboard a
naval plane to participate in the
national All club camp that was
held there. She then went to
Utah, is now in Ohio, and will
return TO her home in Germany
after a three-month visit i'll the
u. S.
To qualify for this trip to
America, the German exchange
student and boy companion had
to pass six selection tests, based
on personality, general aptitude,
knowledge of youth program in
Germany and America, language
accomplishments, and general in
tereSt in the program for youth
training in the two countries.

The young German girl, now
in her early 20's, has spent most
of her life in classroom study.
Following four years of primary
education, she went into the Ger
man gymnasium where she had
the opportunity for language
study. Since that time she has
had nine years of English, six
years of Latin and one year of
French, in addition to her ma
tive German.
She is well qualified to re-
present the German youth be-
cause of her practical experience
in that country. Vacation times
and week ends were spent help
ing her father, either on the
farm or in the farm feed store
where she became acquainted
with the problems connected with
animal foods, farm fertilizers,
food mill products, and the school
programs taught to the German
youngsters.

with the rapid improvement of

coder Joins Squad
Bill Coder, Magnetic high
school baseball and basketball
ace during the past two years,
has been working out with the
Monarchs this week. Coder has
been drilling with the lineman
and is considered possibility
for end or quarterback. Coder is
donning football gear for the first
time and has a lot to learn but he
is a natural athlete and may come
through before the season is over.
A galaxy of fast running backs
have been working out under
Coach WenzePs supervision. A
mong them are Bud Hoffman,
John Evans, Bill Porter, George
Hill, Jim Dayton, and others. Jim
DeGood has been working out at
quarterback in first week drills.
At the end of another weeks
drills the Monarchs will begin
taking shape and Coach Wenzel
will have a better idea as to who
will fill what gaps.
Redwood Rebuilding Line
At Redwood, Coaches Richard
Fetter and Fritz Drodophsky are
engaged in rebuilding the entire
line which was riddled by gradu-
alton last spring. However, the
Tigers will be able to present a
heavier, if greener line than last
year and could be tough if the
non-lettermen improve as rapidly
as they should. Dick Chapman
at end and Dick Griffith at tackle
are the only lettermen returning
this year.

Rance May Build
Plant at Plain City
Columbus Firm Buys
Land on Route AZ

Rance, Inc, Columbus manu-
facturer, has purchased land
north of Plain City and plans to
build a factory there, according
to reports from that community.
1t is understood that about 500
to 800 persons would be employ
ed. No further information is
known about the proposed Rance
expansion, and many details re-
main to be worked out, it was in
dicated.
An article in this mornings
Ohio State Journal said that
Rance officials would neither
confirm nor deny the report,
first printed in yesterdays Col
umbuS Dispatch.
Rance, manufacturer of cleo
trio thermostats, at the present
has factories in Columbus and
Delaware. The proposed Plain
City plant, it was understood,
would be of about the same kind
and size as the one in Delaware.
1t was reported in MarySville
about month ago, that Rance
was looking for a site near here
on which to locate its new plant.
Several possible locations, includ-
ing ones on the Columbus, Della
ware and Marion rds. were UNI
derstood to have been under con-
Sideration.
Then, after a Rance representa-
tive had been checking locations
here several times, company Of
ficialS in Columbus suddenly an
nounced that they were not in
tending to come to Marysville.
A great many persons in this
vicinity as well as other parts of
Union county, are already en-
ployed in the Rance plant at
Delaware.
The location which Rance is
said to have purchased is located
on U. S. Route AZ, near Big Darby
Creek.

with little or no further prepara-
ton.
Sigrid was thoroughly delight
ed with her experience at the
national Al club camp in Wash

date methods in youth club work
intrigued her; her diary is
filled with notes that she ex-
poets to utilize in teaching the
Land Youth organization groups
in her own homeland.
In addition to her club work
program, Miss Schaal is serving
unofficially as an ambassador of
good will to the young people of
this country. you cannot help

she is giving a practical demon

people with whom she comes in
contact.

Two Trucks Damaged
As Transport Unit
Upsets in Ditch

Two new trucks were badly
damaged when a transport truck
on which they were being
brought to Marysville upset on
Route 38, 1920 p. m. Tuesday.
The carrier is owned by the
Complete Auto Transit Inc, Gin
cinnati.
The vehicle was travelling
north at 35 miles per hour, pro-
ceeded through the bridge over
Big Darby, then was unable to
make the right-angle turn on
the north side of the bridge.
The driver of the carrier, Ster-
ling Young, Cincinnati, stated:
Il came through the bridge
and the brakes didn't work. They
were giving me trouble all day"
The carrier veered off into the
ditch, but fortunately the damage
to the carrier itself was slight
and the vehicle was driven away
by Mr.. Young. The trucks were
consigned to Splitter Motor Sales
here.

cause of physical defects that per-
haps could have been avoided
And certainly, it was further
asserted, a healthy community
is better community for every
one, wartime or peacetime. All
person, it was pointed out, should
have the opportunity to check
these problems while both the
problem and the child are young.
AS defects would be uncover
ed, the parents could be noti-
fled and the child sent to its
family physician, since the Coun-
Gil, of course does not admins
ter treatment.
These projects could be car
ried into effect by the 26 ad-
viSory councils throughout the
county who have volunteered
their time and services for the
betterment of the community.

Rainbow Bar
Wins League Title

Charles Rainbow Bar tie m
won the City Softball League
championship Monday night with
a convincing 5-l victory over the
High School team in the third and
deciding game of two-out-of-
three play-off series.
The Bar-men had won the
Leagues first round champion
ship, but lost the second round in
a play-off game to the Hi 6 h
School. In the season champion
ship play offs, the High School
took the first tilt while the Rain
bow Bar team came back to take
the last two and the champion
ship.
In Monday nights game, the
eventual winners poled out six
runs off of Warren Widner, High
School moundsman. Dean Scheid-
erer gave up only three hits as he
pitched the Rainbow Bar team to
its victory. The High Schoolers
made only two errors against five
for the Bar-men, but both the
losers were extremely costly.
In a preliminary game Mon
day, the City old-timers defeated
the Country old-timers 1911, to
gain revenge for a trouncing
which the farmers gave the town
"boys" the week before. A big
eighth-inning rally in which they
scored nine runs gave the city
team their win.
This victory necessitated a
"grudge" game Wednesday night
for the "Old-timers' Champion
ship. This was won by the
"Town" team, 20-19.
