Dover Bridge
Nearly Finished

All that remains to be done on
the $4,000 Route SO bridge pro-
ject at New Dover is painting,
landscaping and some surfacing
with bituminous concrete.
The three-span bridg ge over
Mill creek is rated by Octave Am
mon, deputy director of Division
Six, of the state highway depart
ment, as one of the finest struc-
lures of its type in this section of
Ohio.
The old steel bridge which was
erected in 1914 over Mill Creek,
Collapsed March 3, on last year.
The new structure replaces the
old bridge and a small concrete
beam overflow bridge nearby and
relocates the approaches to the
bridge, eliminating a sharp, dan
gerous curve at the east end of the
structure.
The project was financed
jointly by the state and the fed
eral government. G. P. Galway
of Toledo was the contractor with
Rodney Roberts of Delaware, the
project engineer, in charge of the
work for the highway department.

Monarchs Have Bad Night
In their game against Lancaster
st. Marys yesterday, the Monarchs
were really having a bad night,
but the Irish, if anything, were
worse. AS a result, fans saw little
good basketball in this game.
Nothing Marysville could do was
timing was off, their floor work
was erratic. 9nd to top it off, the
Monarchs missed all kinds of ordin-
arily easy shots. Coach Warren
Widner was quite thankful to have
his team leave the floor the winner.
Actually, the Monarchs won the
game by building up a big lead,
then staving off a Lancaster rally.
AT one time, Marysville enjoyed a
lead of 24-7, then saw it slowly
shrink as the Irish began perking
up.
The locals were in front "a at
the end of the first quarter and
27-16 at the halfway mark. The
third quarter margin was cut to
1926 as Lancaster outscored the
Monarchs 1873, but in the last per-
iod each team netted nine points
to make the final tally 43-35.
Cardinston Tough Team
Observers are generally agreed
that game Saturday of the type
they played yesterday will mean
"curtails" for the Monarchs' title

basketball team and has created a

Special Readinu
Course Started
In Schools Here
| Pupils Expected
/ To Benefit Greatly
] From New Program

II. w Carr, superintendent of
Marysville schools, said today that
mo5l high school students are not
good readers, and this hampers
them when they go on to college
after graduation.
Mr.. Carr recalled statements
made recently by DR.. Gerald
Saddlemire, director of counseling
at Wittenberg College in Spring
field, to the effect that lack Of good
reading habits can seri u sly
hamper the college student. These
difficulties should have been clear
edSup in grade school, he added.
BY way of helping overcome this
difficulty, Marysville schools now
offer a course in reading improve
ment, Mr.. Carr said. The course is
taught to seventh grade students
each year and this year only is also
being offered to eighth grade pu-
pills for one semester as well.
The main object of the course is
to quicken the reading speed and
this is achieved by an electrical
reading guide" that moves down
the page Of the students book,
leaving only one line at time ex-
posed.
AT the beginning of the year the
student is tested for reading speed
and the speed of the reading guide
is slowly accelerated so that the
pupil will have to read faster in
order to keep up with the guide.
"In this way, the pupils do learn
to read faster, and better" Mr..
Carr said. I'VE do know, from ex-
tensive testing in our larger uni
verSities, that the student who
reads quickly also retains more
material than the slow reader. We
hope to improve reading habits in
our students while they are still at
the age where correction is feas-
ible."
The reading course, one of the
more advanced developments of
the school program, is taught by
Mrs. Warren Widner.
Mr.. Carr added, while it is still
too soon to tabulate any final re-
suits of the course, we feel that the
reading habits of the children are
being improved. Each student can
be helped. The child who is pos
sible college material, especially,
should formulate good reading
practices"

the council members. Among the
features of the clothing is the obie,
which is nothing more than two
pieces of wood, held in place over
the abdomen and posterior by a
brightly colored sash. This con-
traption is used by japanese
women in place of a girdle, which
is one way of reducing japanese
initiation.
During the afternoon, the coun-
Gil members conducted their meet
ing, with the Japanese women OBJ

were returned to their residence
in Columbus by Mrs. Mary Alice
