THREE days before the
IL Stanford game, Susie
A SHORT STORY


scrimmage The fact that she got past the
guard at the gate was not surprising; after all,
she was the coach's daughter but that she
wanted to was unusual, because she took her
responsibilities seriously. The explanation
appeared to be the tall. somewhat loosely
built character at her side.
jug Moffat, her father. sauntering over to
investigate, correctly classified the oatish ex-
preston on the strangers face as alteration OF
Susie and was accordingly predisposed in his
favor. Susie was the apple of Jugs eye, and
although he wouldn't have been able to define
precisely what an apple of persons eye was
any more than you probably could, he felt
the attitude should be widespread
Susie introduced her companion as Leggett
Green and, as the gentlemen were mumbllng
at each other, she added. 'Leggett has some
very interesting theories about forward pass

said. blushing.
SIS that so?" jug replied. Where did you
play?"
''Play?" Puzzlement contended with love
in Leggett's eyes, and the result was deep fog.
PLAY =? Oh, you mean football No, I've
never played football"
'Leggett thinks it's silly and unnecessary,
said Susie, for a player to miss forward
pass"
'Oh, he does" said jug.

working on.
Excuse me-" Leggett interrupted. I'm
not familiar with the technical terms of the
game. Just have the ball thrown to me. Who
is to receive the pass?"
HOWE Keeler." Jug pointed. ''Keeler -
over there at end"
Very well, Keller" Leggett said. please
run down the field as fast as possible"
HOWE scowled. 1t should be said here that
Susie's blue eyes were the kind that set poets
a-dream, and her hair would inspire the Cali
fornia sun itself to songs of praise. Howie was
neither poet nor the California sun; he was
just the best passer in the conference, and he
was in love with Susie.
When the ball was snapped, Howie set off
down the field. Leggett caught the ball from
center. retreated from a group of tacklers,
and finally threw the ball with graceful,
effortless motion that was pleasure to see

get the ball and the man who is to catch it

He looked inquiringly at jug, who did not
answer cracks like this halfway through
tough season.
Susie said, GO on, Leggett.'

metic that distance over velocity equals time
You can see how easily that can be applied to
the man catching the ball. In the case of the
balls trajectory, however there are, of course
complicating factors - particularly, in this
instance, the factor of yaw consequent upon
it's oblate form and the uneven distribution
of its weight"
SUsIE put restraining hand on her fathers
arm, but she needn't have bothered - he was
helpless.
with little practice" Leggett went on,
"a passer can develop his powers of observa-
ton to fair degree of accuracy. You observe
the speed at which the potential receiver is
travelling and select point at given dis
tance ahead of him. Dividing that distance
by his speed gives you the time it will take
him to reach that point. Then all you have
to do is throw the ball with the proper veloc-
ity and trajectory to reach the same point in
the same length of time"
"Well, honey" Jug said to Susie, I'D bet

injuries, gives reason for great
discomfort; secondly, the loss of
time seriously affects the eff
ficiency of the working men; and
thirdly, it establishes good rela-
tions between the employees and
the corporation.
In concluding his remarks, Mr..
Hageman said, "The attainment
of a no-accident safety record is
the greatest example of perfect
team work in the world. In most
cases where group effort is re-
quired, the goal can be reached,
or the game won, even though
one or two members of the team

welcome to the 80 persons pres

Getting into the theme of the
meeting, Mr.. Yetter introduced
the speaker of the evening, a rep

office of the EN- division, Mr..
Carl Hageman, of the industrial

pressed the corporations appreci-

Mr.. Hageman stressed the i'm

gained, both to the employee and
the corporation when every safe

ployee's daily duty.
The New York official stated
three reasons why the corpora
tion was primarily interested in
such a record set by the Dexter
City group. First, he said, being

Maeksbury High
School May Be
Closed By State
Temporary Charter
Refused; Hearing
Is Held Friday

Macksburg high school, re-
portedly the oldest high school
in Washington county, just over
the Noble county line, will be
closed unless the high school
board of the state department of
education renews the temporary
charter on which it has been op-
Grating since 1898.
The charter is scheduled to
expire June 80, 1850. Should the
action be carried out, high school
students would be transported to
Salem Liberty high school at
Lower Salem, and possibly Dex-
ter City in Noble county.
Action on possible closing of
the high school, which only has
an enrolment of 80 students, is
the result of inspections made by
R. M. Garrison, chairman of ell
ementary and secondary educa-
ton of the state department, and
by Walter c. Garland, school
supervisor of the state.
A hearing was held Friday in
Columbus, at which time Supt.
Ray L. Curtis and other testi-
fled in favor of retaining the
high school at Macksburg, main
tanning that increased strip mine
operations would eventually re-
suit, in greater student member
ship and better finances.
The present cost per pupil at
Macksburg is $279, considerably
higher than the state average.
Mrs. Naomi Kemp, clerk of the
board, testified that they were
$4,000 in debt and that teachers
at the school had been paid for
only one month of current school
year.
At the hearing, it was brought
out that Macksburg, with a pop
ulation of only 400, had been
given every opportunity to show
why it should continue to oper-
ate a high school rather than as
sign pupils to another high
school in a neighboring district.
Members of the school board
include J. H. Bates, president;
F. M. Turner, vice president H.
A. Howard. V. G. Neeley and E.
w. Parks, members. Mrs. Kemp
is the clerk.

Four Schools To
Ask For Merger
Beverly And Lowell
Would Be Affected

Four Washington county school
districts are considering the pos
sibility of merger for the pur-
pose of improving school facili-
ties, it was announced today as
the state department of educa-
ton was invited to make a sur
vey of the situation.
At a meeting held in Water
ford, the school boards of Bev-
erly, the Wolf Run district
(Waterford), Adams township
and the village of Lowell auth
orized the survey in the hope of
solving the situation brought on
by over-crowded conditions in
the schools of the four districts.
The possible merger of Bever-
ly and Waterford high schools
has been the subject of unoffic-
ial discussion for years.
Beverly high school enrolment
is SO; Waterford, 147 and Lowell
1874. Adams district sends its
students to Lowell high school.
Those favoring a merger of
the four districts with a central
lied high school, point out that
better education facilities would
thereby be offered and that
present over-crowded conditions
could be eliminated at min
imum of expense.
Waterford and Beverly are
located on opposite sides of the
river, while Lowell is ten miles
south of Beverly.

Support Price On
Corn Is Reduced
Support Price In
1949 Was $1.47

The government loan rate for
corn produced by Noble county
farmers in 1850 will be only rs
percent of the support price, ac-
cording to an announcement
made today by the local AAA
office. In previous years, local
farmers could secure loans up to
one hundred percent of the sup
port price.
William H. Archer chairman
of the local PIMA committee,
said Monday that this was being
done to keep local farmers from
producing more corn than is or
dinarily grown. In other counties
throughout the state, acreage al
lotments regulate the amount of
corn grown. Because Noble
county is not under the jurisdic-
tion of the crop control program
the loan rate has been sliced to
discourage overproduction.
The chairman of the local
committee pointed out that in
order for Noble county to come
under the control of the corn
crop control program, each Noble
county farm would have to pro-
duce approximately $50 bushels
of corn each year. Noble county
corn production is far below this
figure according to data avail
able at the local office.
In this announcement the loc-
al office said that the deadline
for securing loans on 1949 corn
would be May l, 1850. The sup
port price on 1949 corn was set
at STAT per bushel early last
fall.

Will Purchase
Motor Grader

The county highway depart
ment was given permission to
loan the trustees of Enoch town
ship, grading equipment and an
air compressor at the regular
Monday meeting of the board of

partment.
More stone for use in main
tanning county and township
roads was purchased by the
commissioners on Monday. From
H. w. Wunderlich the board pur-
chased so yards of gravel at a
cost of S1.85 per yard. The gravel
will be used in repairing the
Heddleson and Hupp Ridge roads
in Jefferson township. Total cost
of the purchase was $3.50.
Two roads in Center township
will receive fifty yards of
crushed limestone. A contract
was awarded Walter Christman,
Lewisville contractor, calling for
the delivery of so yards of stone
for use on the Knox and Parry
roads in Center township. The
aggregate will be delivered and
spread at cost of $125.00.
On Monday, the trustees OF
Elk township requested and We're
granted permission to buy a new
motor grader. The new grader

County Personal
Property Tax To
Open, Feb. Is
Auditor Wilson
Says No Blanks
Will Be Mailed

County Auditor Jack Wilson
announced today that the Feb
ruary collection of the 1850 per-
sonal property tax would start
on Feb. Is. The office will re-
main open for the collection un-
til March 81.
For the first time in several
years, the county auditor will
depart from the usual procedure
of mailing tax form blanks to
farmers and businessmen. Aud
itor Wilson did say on Monday,
however, that blanks would be
mailed to persons requesting
them.
In the announcement, the
county auditor said that in his
experience those who received
blanks by mail usually failed to
bring them to the office when
filing their years taxable goods.
This creates shortage and in
the past it has been necessary to
recorder additional forms. 1t is
felt that this needless expense
can be eliminated. Taxpayers
wishing to fill out their own tax
forms can secure same at the
auditors office of upon request
will receive the necessary forms
by mail.
Mr.. Wilson said Monday that
the office would continue to as
sist taxpayers in filing their re-
turns. Those desiring assistance
in filling out the forms should
call at the auditors office on or
after Wednesday of next week.

Village Council
Opposes Increase
In Phone Rates
Also Cracks Down
On Speed Laws In
Corporation Limits

The first action in the battle
against the increase in telephone
rates was taken by the Caldwell
village council Tuesday evening.
In a move aimed at fighting the
proposed increase now pending
with the Public Utilities Com
mission, Columbus, the council
appointed Councilman Carl John
son to head a committee which
will work out details on the pro-
test which will be filed at a later
date.
The group plans to confer with
Cambridge officials and civic
groups in an effort to learn
what steps must be taken in
fighting the increase. 1t is ex-
pected that the council will hold
a special meeting later this
month to act on the recommended
tions made by the committee.
Traffic Problems
Parking and other traffic prob
lens got real going over at
the second regular meeting of
the new village council. In a
special motion, the village faith
ers authorized the purchase of Is
signs which will warn motorists
of the Is mile an hour speed
limit in the downtown area.
Police Officer Fred Davis and
Jack Olive, village night watch
man, were given full authority
to enforce the measure and break
up speeding in the business sec
ton. The council also instructed
the law enforcement officers to
clamp down on the excessive
blowing of auto horns and the
after-midnight races around the
public square.
Complaints were filed with the
council concerning coal trucks
and other heavily laden vehicles
using village streets as regular
routes. In the future, all heavily
loaded trucks will be required to
remain on state and federal
routes when passing through
Caldwell.
Firemen Present
In a surprise move the council
authorized the local fire depart
ment to enter into negotiations
with the village of Macksburg on
the trade of the old fire truck. If
present plans are consummated
the old truck will be traded for
a late model pickup truck.
The local fire department plans
call for the transfer of the chem
ical fire fighting equipment to
the pickup truck.
Reports On Village Finance
In a report on the financial
condition of the village, Clerk
Violet Morgareidge announced
that the bonded Indebtedness had
been reduced to $4,000. The
conditions of the various funds
are as follows: general, $1,919.41;
cemetery, $741.97; street main
tenance, $14,920.91, and gas tax,
S9,785.73.
