'Putter", perhaps MarySvllle's
best-known canine, may never be
the same again.
'Putter" belongs to the Kings
more family, and spends most of
his summers at the local golf
course, enticing anyone he can
find to throw golf balls for him
to chase.
A few days before Christmas,
Putter" tangled with a truck and
came out second best. He ran into
the street in front of the Mayors
home, chasing ball which some
youngsters threw for him, and
the truck came before "Putter"
got by.
Despite the fact that the rear
wheels of the truck actually pass
ed owed ''Putter's" body and peel
ed off all the skin on one side,
DR.. Engard was able to save the
dogs life.
Hes going to be a bit odd in
appearance without any hair on
half of his side" Jerry says, "but
we still have our dog"
''Putter" may also have a stiff
leg from the accident, which will
impair his ball chasing activities
hereafter. But he's a mighty
lucky pup at that; not very many
have trucks run over them and
live to have it told about
This story might have been
better if told when it happen

came home from work one eve
ming last summer and decided
to give the hedge a quick trim
before supper.
So he rushed home. grabbed
up the trimmers without
changing chothes. and went to
work.
When he came in for supper.
Mrs. Williams greeted him
with. What happened to your
necktie."
Austin had clipped it off with
the trimmers, somewhere in
the middle of the hedge. and
failed to realize it until his wife
asked about it.
Smile for today:
AS bare as the spot where the
Christmas tree stood.
Seemed kind of odd going into
the Otterbein gym for basket
ball game which was not in
tournament. But at that, the fans
from Worthington and Marysville
made up a crowd which was dog
gone near as big as any tourna-
ment session would draw.
The big gym was comfortably
filled for the game Friday, and
it was hard to find a good seat
shortly after the reserve game
had started

Probably Marysville homes
were never more profusely or
beautifully decorated than they
were this year. Every section
of town had several homes which
were outstanding in appearance,
and, had there been a homes de-
coration contest this year, the
judges would have had really
rough time picking a winner.
Probably w. Ninth st. would
take first honors for having the
most homes decorated of any
part of town, and there were a
number of unusually attractive
ones there, all the way from Mil
ford ave. to Grove st.
