Christmas Bio
Time at Home
Many Organizations
Send Money. Gifts

Christmas at the Union County
Children's home is one of the
most important events of the
year.
Each Christmas season several
organizations in the county con-
tribute materially to the happi-
ness of the children there, as
well as private individuals who
send gifts of money, toys and
clothing.
Mrs. Chester Auer, custodian of
the Institution, reports that the
Milford Center FLA. and FILA.
Christmas party will be given
to the children just prior to
Christmas.
The boys and girls at the I'm
ion Local school draw names of
the children at the home and a
present is bought for each one.
This program has been carried
out for several years, and is I'M
der the direction of the agricul-
tural teacher, J. S. McKitrick
and home economics instructor,
Ethel Helser.
Other Organizations
The children will be enter
tanned by the Lions club at Rich
wood with a traditional holiday
banquet, tonight.
The police force of Marysville
has sent gifts of toys to the child
rem, and Ed Radebaugh is send
ing ice cream and cake to the
Children on Christmas day.
In addition to these contribu-
tons, many gifts of toys and
money + sent by private indi-
Viduals and organizations whose
names were not revealed.
Several Shopping Trips
The children have made sew
eral trips to Marysville on shop
ping trips with the donated
Christmas money.
Each child has been adopted"
by an individual Kings Daugh-
tiers circle, and is being given
toys and gifts by them. Other
gifts are arriving daily from
relatives and friends, so it will
be a big Christmas for the child
rem.
About half of the children will
return to their parents homes
sometime on Christmas day,
Those remaining with the Auers
for the day will enjoy a tradi-
tional holiday dinner, followed
by games and other activities.

Domestic Workers
Are Now Subject
To Social Security

Here's the latest addition to
the Zone More Thing to Worry
About" category.
II you hire a domestic worker
and pay that worker $50 or more
in cash wages during a calendar
quarter you may be classified as
an employer, and as such subject
to the regulations under the So
cial Security Act.
In addition, if the worker was
employed for "a days out of a
three month period for wages of
$50 or more, chances are the en-
ployer is subject to governmental
regulations in regard to that
employee.
A representative from the Ma
rion Field Office of the Social
Security Administration will be
in the Marysville Post Office
from IL noon until 3 p. m, Dec.
%. At that time, anyone in
doubt as to their status as an
employer of domestic help may
have a talk with the field rep
resentative.

Individual circles in Marysville
also have families which they
care for at Christmas time, as
well as at other times during the
year when the need arises.
Last year, eight families were
on the City Union Christmas list.
Both this year and last year
were far below the peak of near
ly so families reached during the
depression years. At that time,
there were between 100 and 167
children on the list, as compared
with approximately 30 this year..
The boxes this year contain
toys food, candy and clothing.
Articles for this purpose have
been contributed by local stores
and individuals and a great many
have been bought by the City
Union itself.
The families are contacted in
advance by a representative of
the Kings Daughters, to learn the
specific needs of each member of
the family, especially in the way
of clothing.
Also included in the boxes are
many new toys and books, as
well as candy, fruit and nuts,
for the children.

Sunto to Return
For Another Visit On
Friday Afternoon

Santa Claus will return to
Marysville at 4 pm. Friday to
talk to his many young friends
who could not see him during
his last visit here.
Due to the cold weather, many
small children had to stay home
last Saturday when Santa was
here, so in order not to disap-
point the children, a return visit
has been arranged.
The meeting place will be on
the court house steps again this
week, but if the weather is too
cold, notice will be made on Fri
day as to the w~hereabout of an
indoors meeting place.

Six Cage Games
Friday Evening

Forced to play without the
services of Bill Cooler, tallest
man on the team and an excel
lent rebound player, MarySville
high school will go to Bellefon-
tame Friday evening to engage
the strong Chieftians.
All 10 Union county schools
will also see action this Friday
in five league games. They are:
Broadway at Raymond.
New Cally at Union.
Byhalia at Darby.
York at Magnetic.
Watkins at Redwood.
Coach Warren Widner's Marys-
Vile high Monarchs will be up
against probably their toughest
foe since Upper Arlington when
they meet Bellefontaine this Fri
day.
Reports from the Logan coun-
ty seat indicate the Chieftans are
tall = probably taller than
Marysville - and are pretty good
shots. They have won a major
ity of their games against some
fast opposition, and are smartly
coached by the veteran H.. A.
Dodd.
Without Cooler, Marysville will
probaly have a rough time of it
tomorrow night. The lad was in
jured in last Fridays Delaware
game, and examination this week
revealed he has cracked his left
collar bone in the same spot
where it was broken last fall.
He will probably be lost to
the team for a month and his
place, meanwhile, will probably
be taken by Gene Woods, who
has demonstrated a lot of ability
in relief roles so far this season.

Turkey Dinner
A turkey dinner will be served
to the inmates at a p. m. The tur-
keys for the occasion were ralS-
ed on the farm by the girls
themselves.
Since approximately 1/3 of the
women have no families on the
outside from whom to expect
Christmas gifts, the Zonta club,
of Columbus, will provide pres
ents for all who would otherwise
not be remembered with a pres
ent.
"The Zonta Club is a wonder
full organization, and without
their aid, Christmas would be a
dreary day for many Mrs. Reil-
ley said.
Girls Exchange Gifts
An informal gift exchange IS
conducted throughout the day
among the women. In this man
'ner, the girls get rid of things
they don't want, and acquire ar
ticIes they do want.
Later in the day, various games
will be participated in by the in
mates.
The decorations at the Institu-
ton will not be as elaborate this
year as in the past, due to the re-
pairs and restorations that are
taking place in the various build
ings. However, as much decorat-
ing will be done as possible, in
order to make the buildings as
colorful as possible for the holt
day.

ipation. When the COMPOSER calls
on the players virtuosity in this
and in the final movement, it is
to provide always sparkling pas
sages never marred by roughness
or thunder. The second movement
is a plaintive song that eschews
any real plaintivness by a touch
of dissonance. It's sentiment Is
calm and sweet and the piano Is
left for many measures to dis
course it alone.
AS Miss Tolson played It, its
cameo-like character was strongly
projected. Without any effort at
creating a particular type of
atmosphere she was able never
theless. to capture and hold the
attention of the audience to an
even greater degree than In the
bravura spots. Perhaps more gilt
ter in the actual tone for these
portions would have caught the
piquancy of Ravel's style better,
but her technical treatment of
them was clean-cut and brilliant
with full valuation Of the rhyth-
mic intricacies. She was recalled
many times.
Another high spot Of the
program was the sight of the
orchestra men applauding their
conductor, Howard Mitchell, after
the performance of Beethoven's
Symphony No. g." That is surely
the ultimate encomium. It de-
served the plaudits. but no more
so than the very beautiful reading
given Delius' "Brigg Fair" with it's
evanescent coloring. This num-
ber, together with the lively and
Sousa-like Overture" to Reg
nicek's Donna DIANA" were
played for the first time at these
concerts.
The program, demonstrating In
its performance the tonal quality
of the orchestra and its fexibility
in effects both of color and dy-
namics, concluded with Debussy's
LA Mer," where these elements
were brought into full display.
Furthermore, the large audience
attending the concert enjoyed
both the varied fare and the we'll
disciplined playing and said as
much with its applause.

one of the notable triumphs of the
season with her performance of

Miss Tolson is local artist

The Concerto" is a test piece
for any pianist. It's technical diff

The land is good and has been ir-

production caused by the rising wa

Study of the test wells showed the
movement of the ground water in
the upper part of the area is from the
hills toward the river. In the lower
part, the ground water parallels the
river.
No drainage is planned for $50
acres, which is river flood plain, and
only surface drainage on 430 acres
of other land where the river over
flows at times. Overflow from Mug

gins creek, the channel of which is
on a low ridge built up by silt de-
posts during previous overflows,
spreads out over the area to add to
the difficulties farther away from the
river, where deep drainage is needed.
Deep drainage to be done here is
a combination of main drains leading
to the river and laterals to intercept
the ground water. Construction of
the main drains calls for organiza-
ton of a drainage district. Most of
the laterals will require cooperation
of two or more farmers.
Procedure
Requests to soil conservation and
grazing district supervisors or di-
rectors and to the Soil Conservation
service for aid in drainage have in
creased rapidly. Most drainage in
wolves more than one farmer.
Whether it is a group that can fl
nance the job without a formal or
ganization or whether it is a group
that needs to organize a drainage
district, the procedure for extending
the aid of the technicians is the same.
First step is for the group to apply
to the board of their soil conservation
or grazing district. At the boards
request, the Soil Conservation serv-
ice makes the necessary investigation
to determine whether drainage is
possible and, if so, whether it is prac-
teal. No drainage is recommended
if the costs will exceed the benefits.
A report on the investigations, an
outline of the drainage plan, and a
rough estimate of the cost is pre-
pared. If the farmers decide to go
ahead, the detailed drainage plan is
prepared and the project is ready for
construction. Financing and con-
struction of drainage are handled by
the farmers and ranchers, although
the boards of supervisors or directors
help arrange for contractors or the
rental of equipment. The SCS tech
nicians apply the technical aid.
Far-reaching Benefits
Much of the land needing drainage
is already irrigated. Restoring it te

drainage districts. In many areas,
general Improvement in methods of
water application and irrigation sys-
TENS should accompany drainage. In
fact, this alone will do much to
lessen the drainage problem at such
places.
No place for ''blind-man's bluff"
drainage must be founded on careful
surveys. The Soil Conservation serv-
ice makes liberal use of test wells to
get information about the soil strata
beneath the surface, level and direc-
ton of flow of the subterranean wa
information, plus topographic sur
veys, makes it possible to determine
whether land can be drained salts
factorily and how it must be handled.
Belgrade Swamp"
Most extensive area where the Soil
Conservation service has helped
farmers and ranchers start drainage
of wet land is the so-called Belgrade
swamp, north of Belgrade in the
Three Rivers soil conservation dis
trict. About $500 acres have been
drained. Studies are under way on
1000 acres more. Fifty-five test
wells were used where drainage has
been done; 120 have been drilled
where the surveys are being made.
Coil ie five f~o4 -. x,o1,.<o rl1o,@ -
derlain by a clay layer and then
gravel. Conditions are uniform, and
deep drains spaced at the right in
tervals and running in the right di-
rection are all that are needed.
The first drain was built under the
guidance of the county agent before
the Three Rivers soil conservation
district was extended to include the
Belgrade swamp. He took. the lead
in getting the farmers to enlarge the
district.
Covered originally with sedges,
willows and undesirable grasses, the
drained land is now being devoted
to better quality forage grasses, bar
ley and oats. Productivity of this
land is indicated by the experience of
Morris Coil in 1949. He planted oats
on field that was drained in 1913.
The crop was 80 bushels an acre.
Paradise District
A situation that seems at first
glance like the Belgrade swamp
but actually is considerably different
is found south of Chinook in the
Paradise soil conservation district
The drainage program here is pri-
marily a network of surface drains
to dispose of surface water from
sloughs and the accumulations from
irrigation. Soil Conservation service
technicians studied 70 test wells
there for year. About Il, 900 acres
will be affected. The Paradise irriga.
ton district will handle the con.
struction of main drains.
North of the Milk river-in the
Fort Belknap, Chinook and Lohmar
areas-a large amount of irrigated
land is now virtually useless because
of irrigation seepage water and salts
Harvey Naslund's farm is in this sec
ton. Main drains have already beer
built. Soil Conservation service tech
nicians are helping co-operators wit

ing districts and Paradise soil con

velop farm drainage systems lead
ing to the main drains. These consis
