York Residents were Members
OfClub Fore of 4-H Work
Q q q

Ever wonder where and when
the vast system of All Clubs in
the United States got it's start?
1t is only fitting that Union
County, now one of the top rank
ing counties in the state in club
work, should have two residents
who were members of the club
which was the forerunner of the
present extensive system.
Mr.. and Mrs. T. B. Roahen, of
York Township, were members
of that first organization and
they still remember we'll the ac-
tivities and projects carried out
in this first attempt to organ
ize youth interest in agriculture.
Started in Clark County
This club, which has been
authenticated as the first of its
kind in the United States, was
started in 1902 in Springfield
Township, Clark County. Leader
and organized was A. B. Graham,
hip superintendent of

rage length of time that each
adviser has been active
Nine boys and girls from I'm

and received free trips to the Ma
tional All Club Congress at Chi
cago last fall. They were:

Evelyn Burns, Milford Center,

duction B; and Marvin Perkins,
Redwood, soil conservation; re-
ceived S25 war bonds but did not
make the trip to Chicago.
95.3 Percent Completion
The figures released by the.
State office show that 95.3 per-
cent of all projects started by the
All Club members of Union
County were completed last year.
This high figure speaks well for
both the club members and the
advisers.
This County was also second
in the state in the average num-
Der of years that youth stays
in All Club work. The average is
I3.3 years for Union County.
Union County is fifth in the
state in the number of years
that each adviser has been serV-
| ing. The average is 4.3 years.

time will be highly-regarded
Ashville, of Pickaway County.
The Ashville team disposed of a
fighting Plain City outfit to the
tune of 50-45, Wednesday night.
Many Marysvlle fans had
thought Ashville would be de-
feated by the Scotties.
Impressive Record
What about this Ashville club?
Well, they now have a seasons
record, including tournament
games, of 20 wins and three de-
feats, which is a mighty respect
able record. Their three losses
were by a total of only five
points.
Only teams defeating Ashville
this year have been Groveport,
40-39; Walnut, 45-42, and Circle

of these losses, however, when
they defeated Walnut, 46-38, in
the championship game of the
Pickaway County tournament.
Against the only three teams
which Marysville has also play
ed, Ashville holds victories of
about the same margin as the
Monarchs. Marysville defeated
Grove City 63-35, while Ashville
whipped the Greyhounds 1914.
Scores Similar
During the season, Marysville
defeated Marion st. Mary 42-30
on the Marysville boards, and by
scant two points, 1864, at Mar

schools there at that time
Mr.. Graham gave much of
his time and money to the club
and his efforts in its behalf were
tireless," Mrs. Roahen said in re-
gard to their leader.
He took the group on long
trips through the countryside to
study nature and plant life. The
Roahens remember when he rent
ed horse and wagon with his
own money to deliver rose bush
es to the members of the club.
The bushes were purchased for
the low price of nine cents each
and distributed for the members
to beautify their homes.
Agricultural Club
The club was known as an
Agricultural Club, not All club,
then. Mr.. Graham obtained seeds
from the government and dis
tributed them to all of the grade
school pupils who wanted to
take part in the program.
The seed packet included all
types of garden seeds, flower
seeds, and some field corn which
was given to the boys.
I'VE were required to keep a
record of everything connected
with our project" Mrs. Roahen
recalled. "All of the work was
to be done by the students and
at the end of the year we filled
out a report on the harvest.
These reports are on display In
the Ohio State University Muse
um at the present time.
, 100 Members in Club
There were approximately 1OC
members in that first club with
the average age being 10 years
since most of the members were
still in the grades. There was nc
age limit then however.
Mr.. Roahen was not a member
of the club the first year, but
his wife, the former Mary Yea,
zell, took part in that program
Mr.. Roahen came into the Agri.

Woring Gives Plug
To All Club Youth

Fred Waring, famed orchestra
leader, devoted considerable time
on his Sunday evening television
show, this week, to a tribute to
the All Clubs of the nation.
Explaining that his admiration
for the All program stems from
many years of contact with this
farm youth movement, Waring
briefly related the history of the
All program and told what its
name stands for and its motto
means.
His glee club then sang num-
Der written especially for the
program and dedicated to the

If the pattern set in Marys-
ville's last three attempts to win
a co-championship in the Cen
trail District "B" tournament
holds true-and there is every in
dication that it may-basket-
ball fans are in for real thriller
at Westervlle, come Saturday
night.
Three years ago, Marysville
reached the finals at Westerville
but lost to tall, favored Plain
City team by two points in a
double-overtime thriller. Two
years ago, the Monarchs won the
title, defeating Worthington by
two points. Then, last year, a
red-hot and lucky London team
, nosed out Marysville for the title
by one point.

their hands full if they hope to
go on to regional tournament.
In defeating Utica Wednesday
afternoon, Marysville turned in
one of its finest performances of
the season, and was never in
danger. The first quarter was
tight, with Marysville holding a
scant 1910 lead at the end of
the opening canto.
Never in Doubt
But from there on, it was all
Marysvlle. After less than two
minutes of the second quarter had
been played, the Monarchs were
in front 20-10, and it was just a
question of how big the victory
margin would be, from there on
in.
Marysville displayed a fine
passing attack that tore the Utica
zone defense apart and broke
players in the clear for shots
time after time. Marysville was
hitting well on their set shots
and Boyd and McCracken were
rebounding well.
Bud Hoffman took scoring
honors as he garnered 10 points
and handled the ball we'll at all
times. Charles McCracken scored
Is points and Boyd hit for IL.
Smed Hendricks scored 10, and
in fact, the entire Marysville
team looked very good.
Gets Long Shots
Utica was unable to crack the
Monarch defense and scored al
most all of their points on long
shots from far out on the court.
Spray was their high scorer with
10, eight of them on free throws.
Plain City, on the other hand,
had a rough time of it Wednes-
day night against Ashville. The
Broncos took a 1913 lead in
the first period and held it
throughout the game although
the Scotties came dangerously
close in the third period.
Ashville guarded Oscar JEFF
ferson, Scottie center, very
closely but he still managed to
hit for 18 points. Pettibone
scored 81 for the winners while
Cook hit for IL.
Creditable Season
This closed Plain City's season
with a 81 and eight record and
much credit must be given tc
Coach George Robinson and his
players for their splendid record
The Scotties lost four regulars
