Delaware to Play al MarYsville,
Five County Games Slated Friday

gether, and the fact that it will be
a league game will be further in
centive for both schools. Fans
can look for a ding-dong battle
here.
Another good game should be
the Union-M Magnetic fracas. Both
teams appear to be evenly
matched, and interest will be
further heightened by the fact
that Jimmy Gibson, Unions
coach this year, is a former star
from Magnetic.
Another "neighbor- against
neighbor" scrap will be the Wat
kins-Ca tilt. While neither
team is considered a contender
for championship honors this
year, they are well matched and
it will be a bitter battle for
points.
Broadway, on basis of record
to date, will be a slight favorite
over Darby, while Redwood
should get past Raymond with
out too much trouble.
All five Of Friday nights games
involving county teams are

despite the great interest in
building, undermining and other
wise improving farm houses in
the past few years, many houses
are still poorly equipped for fam
lily living. A special census sam
pie survey made in 1948 showed
less than half the farm dwellings
had sinks, only about IA had a
bathtub or a shower"
This observation was made re-
Gently in a handbook prepared
by Agricultural Extension Ser
vice economists in home manage

By way of representation, the
extension officials are looking
ahead to better housing facilities
for the farm family in 1851.

Christmas Decorations Make
Marvsville More Attractive

Marysville has always put on
Christmas holiday dress, mainly
with electric lights, in past years.
This year, the lights have been
arranged parallel with the streets,
instead of being latticed across
the streets as formerly.
Holly wreaths are going to be
used to decorate the lamp posts
and may be strung on wires
across the streets in the same
fashion as the lights last year; if
the purchase price is not pro-
hibitive. 1t is reported that the
prices of these have doubled in
the last month.
In any event, some holly and
spruce will be used in same man
ner for street decorations.
Marysville merchants r dress
ing up windows and merchandise
display areas in their stores in
anticipation of the coming holi-
day. Some of the decorating ideas
are really ingenious, employing
everything from "angel-hair" to
miStletoe.
In the residential areas, many
householders are thinking up new
ways to decorate their houses
with electric lights. Some have
an eye toward winning the
Chamber of Commerce home
decorating contest, which will be-
gin today.
All that now remains to be
done is finish that last bit of
shopping, put the finishing touch
es on the Christmas tree, and
settle back to await the excited
squeals of the kids when they
wake up on Christmas morning.

Better Housing Facilities on Farm
Predicted by Economists for 1851

want, and further improvements
are expected to be made in 1851.
A tight supply situation for
several buildings materials has
existed during 1850 and is likely
to continue in 1851. On an over
all basis it appears that supplies
of lumber will be adequate.
Prices of most building mater
ials and supplies increased dur
ing 1850 and are expected to av-
erage slightly higher in 1851.
Construction costs are now at
a higher level than in September,
l948 when the immediate postwar
peak was reached.
Current estimates put the 1851
volume of new houses started at
one-third fewer than in 1850 or
not more than $4,000 dwellings.
Tighter Credit
Tighter credit restrictions will
be in force during the remainder
of 1850 and into 1851.
Forty-nine loans had been
made to farm families for houS-
ing by the Farmers Home Adj
ministration up to September.
The output of building mater
ials during August of this year
set a new all time record. Pro.
duction for all materials in
creased 20 percent over Septem'
Der 1949, the peak month for thai
year.
In the country as a whole much
progress has been made the pas
year in serving farm houses with
electricity. In Ohio 1914 percent
of all farms are served with cleo
tricity.
A total of 1,l06, 900 non-farn
dwellings were started during the
first nine months of l950-mort
than the total for all of 1949. O
every 100 dwelling units started
in this period, SO were private
dwelling units.

Funeral Services
To be Friday For
II. |. Huffman
Retired Automobile
Dealer. Civic Leader
Died in Home Tuesday

Funeral services will be held
Friday afternoon for Hamer |.
(Dad) Huffman, retired Marys-
vile automobile dealer and bust
ness leader, who died in his
home at 215 Buckeye st. at 10
am. Tuesday. He was 81 years
old.
Mr.. Huffman had been gradu-
ally failing in health for the past
five years, after suffering a stroke
while spending the winter in
Florida. However, he had been
able to be up and reasonably
active until the past few days.
The oldest of Marysville auto
mobile dealers, MI. Huffman
started in business in 1911. He
retired only last April when he
sold his interest in the H. l..
Huffman & Co garage to his
partner, August c. Vollrath.
Came to MarYsville in 1903
Mr.. Huffman came to Marys-
vile in 1908 when he traded his
business in Plain City for a va
riety store called the Bazaar. The
Bazaar was located in S. Main
st. where the A. & p. store is
nnoW situated.
On Nov. /, 1911, Mr.. Huffman
entered the automobile business,
starting in the old Methodist
Church building which was To-
Gated at E. Fifth and Walnut sts.,
where the Rausch Purcell sta
ton now stands. His son, Lloyd
Huffman, continued to operate
the Bazaar for some time after
that.
After a few months, however,
Lloyd Joined his father in the
automobile business and the Ba-
zaar was sold to Marvin Tossey.
Built New Building
1t was not long before the old
Methodist Church building me-
came too small and i~nconvenient
for a fast-growing automobile
agency, and MI. Huffman decid-
ed to seek quarters elsewhere.
Finding nothing in town suit
able for a garage, he built his
own, a two-story brick building
at E. Fifth and Plum SITS. The
Kroger store is now located there.
AS automobiles grew in use,
even this building gradually be-
came too small. so in 1925, the
firm expanded some more. They
went across Plum st. to con-
struct part of the building which

Smudge Pots Lead
To False Fire Coll
To Gym Addition

Smudge pots burning near the
equipment shed at the high
school, made the whole area
look like it was on fire Tuesday
night.
Smudge fires were reported
to Fire Chief Kelvin Payne at
7:20 pm. Tuesday by an excited
high school boy, who thought
the high-burning s~alamanders
were a first class, four-alarm fire.
The fire department took off
in full force, only to discover the
mistakes upon arrival at the
school. The fire trucks returned
to the station at 7:30 pm, just
ten minutes after the fire was
reported.
The Smudge pots, or sala-
manders, are used by the con-
~Struction crews to keep the
cement in the new gym addition
from freezing.

100000 Sought
In Damage Action
Against Railroad
Claibourne Accident
Which Killed Two
Is Basis for Suit

Damages for 100000 and costs
are being asked by Oliver P. Hall,
executor of the estate of Emma
Gertrude Hall, his wife, against
the Erie Railroad. Mrs. Hall was
killed by an Erie freight train
last July, at the railroad inter
section in Claibourne.
Also killed in the accident. but
not involved in this suit, was Del
MAJ Hall, aged nine months,
grandson of Mrs. Hall.
The child's mother, Mrs. Del
ma Hall, was taken to San An
tonic Hospital, Kenton, for treat
ment for shock and hysteria. Mrs.
Hall jumped from the car seconds
before the car was hit by the
train.
The accident occurred when
Mrs. Hall was riding in the car
with her daughter-in-law Mrs.
Delmar Hall. They were driving
north.
Mr. dalI charges the railroad
with negligent operation, saying
they failed to sound the whistle
in time to be a warning signal,
and were travelling at an exces-
sive rate of speed.
Mr. Hall adds in his petition
that there r trees, bushes, and
houses obstructing the view of
the train track for drivers travel
ing north.
The two women stopped before
crossing the track, and not hear
ing any signals, they proceeded
acros the track. The train whis-
tie blew but not in time to warn
the drivers. The train struck the
car and killed Mrs. Hall in
stantly.
In addition to the S1OO,O 600
claimed due to plaintiff, interest
from July %, 1850 to the settle
ment date is asked, plus costs of
the action.

Marysville high school will
play host to Delaware and every
team in the county league will
see action this weekend. A total
of six games are on the schedule
around the county for Friday
night, and one on Saturday.
Friday games will be:
Delaware at Marysville.
New Cally at Watkins.
Darby at Broadway.
Union at Magnetic.
Byhalia at York.
Redwood at Raymond.
Saturday will find Magnetic
playing at Ostrander.
The Monarchs of Marysville
high school will be favored over
Delaware on the basis of past
records, although the visitors will
not be a team to take lightly.
Delaware Improving
While inexperienced, the Pan
theirs have been showing more
and more strength in successive
games and Tuesday night won
their first of the still-young
season when they defeated
Orange township of Delaware
county. Previously, they had lost
to London, Marion st. Marys and
other teams of that calibre.
Marysville should be back at
full strength for Fridays game,
and will be out after its fourth
victory in five starts. Charley Nc
Cracker and John Evans, both
of whom were out for the Rich
wood game last Friday, are ex-
pected to be back in action for
this weeks game, although pos
sibly not at top speed yet.
cCracken was suffering from
a gall-bladder ailment while
Evans had four teeth loose when
he ran into the gym wall during
practice last week.
Several of the county games
are "naturals" from the spectat-
ors' standpoint.
County Games Naturals'
One of the top attractions
should be the York Byhalia game
in the York gym. These two old
rivals met once before this year,
Byhalia winning 47-43. All scores
and past performances can be
thrown out the window, however,

Caniankerous Cow
Confounds Cops

A maverick COW from Union
county caused a lot of confusion
Monday evening when she broke
loose and ran all the way from
Union Stock Yards in Columbus,
to the corner of 21st and Long
streets.
DR.. Fred Jones shipped a load
of cattle to the stock yards, with
never a thought that all but one
of the heifers would respond to
the trip in true bovine maner.
One of the heiferS, however,
had a general reputation for be-
ing anything but docile and con-
tented. A psychiatrist would
probably refer to her as a kind
of frustrated, malajusted critter.
And she lived up to her reputa-
ton.
When she arrived at the stock
yards, instead of sa~untering Ieis-
urly forward to meet the buyers,
she broke loose and careened
menacingly down the Columbus
streets.
AT this point, a former cow
hand from Texas saw the COW
committing her latest caper,
c ! i m b e d on top Of a pol
ice car columbus police were
also trying to calm the animaD
and laSSoed her in ire Hopa-
long Cassidy style.
Not to be outdone, the ex-
cowhand also buIldozed her and
put a ring in her nose, amid the
popping of flashbulbs of city
newspaper photographers.
The recalcitrant cow was re-
turned to the stock yards, where
her bewildered owner waved
fond farewell as she was sold
to another cattle dealer.
