Currently, Worthington is in
third place in the Mid-Six League,
having also lost to second-place
London by four-point margin.
Marysville fans who hope to see
the Marysville- Worthington game
will have to buy their tickets in
Marysville before they go.
Because of small seating capac-
ity, Worthington officials limit the
sale of tickets to the number of
seats available, and allot only $50
tickets to each visiting team. First
choice of the $50 received by
Marysville went to parents of
team members. The remainder
were placed on sale this morning
by Athletic Director C. L. Kings
more in Buffers restaurant.
When those $50 tickets are gone,
there just saint no more" Any
one who is unable to get one of
the precious pasteboards here
might just as well stay home Fri
day.

Groundhog to Do
His Stuff Friday

That we'll known, but not in
fallible W ather prophet-the
groundhog-will emerge from his
underground bomb shelter, and
give Union countianS the tip-off
about the weather this Friday.
If the chuck sees his shadow,
there will presumably be six more
weeks of the same sort of weather
we've been having, but if the sun
isn't shining spring is not far off.
Despite the Staunch belief of
some people the chuck is a reliable
forecaSter, there are many who
scoff at the ability of the marmot
to foretell anything, including the
weather.
One explanation for his be-
havior is that the grounding, an
antisocial introvert, emergeS from
his winter sleep looking for food
or possibly companionship. Others
say he won't stir out of his den in
cold weather regardless of the cal
endar date.
Some say that if the sun is shin
ing when the chuck makes his ap-
pearance after months of hiber-
nation, the sudden glare of bright
light and not his shadow scares
the furry beast back into his bur-
row.
Anyway, Friday is Groundhog
Day.

Sanitarian Urges
Rural People
Check Water
Much Sickness Comes
From Contamination.
Miller Declares

Richard Miller, sanitarian of the
Union county department of
health, urges every citizen living
in the rural areas of the county, to
take special precaution in regard
to the preservation of their safe
water supply.
"In the event of attack from the
air, each farmer would be re-
quired to know how to safeguard
his water supply" he stated. There
are some things that can be done
Immediately to insure a germ-free
source of we'll water. If there is
any doubt about the purity of well
water, a sample should be brought
to this office for testing purposes" "
Owners of private wells have
often been inclined to accept any
ground water supply as safe, but
any wells in the county are poorly
located, poorly developed and the
water from such wells is contain
mated most of the time" Miller
said.
Sickness due to drinking con-
taminated water often effects chill
dren and infants, persons unac-
customed to use of such water or
persons in weakened condition.
Healthy adults may suffer no sick
ness when they have been accus-
toned to using such water" he
added
Causes of contamination are
sometimes due to the entrance of
contaminated surface water
through the curb or top of the we'll
or printing with impure water or
using faulty pump. Leaky side
walls in dug wells are also a cause
of contamination. Any question
able well should be reported to the
health office.
Distinction of wells can be done
by the following methods:
After pumps or wells are in
stalled or repaired chlorine is in
dicated. Chorline is readily avail
able in dry powder form or as a
solution. The dry materials are Ca)
chloride of lime. About $50 avail
able chlorine or Cb) high test hy-
pochlorites (B K.-H.T.H.-Porch-
loron) 50-70go available chlorine.
The solutions are sodium hypoch-
lorite, usually available as laun-
dry bleach in grocery store. It has
many trade names. Labels will
show 80 to 5%o available.
The application method is make
a five 60 gallon batch as follows:
a. Chloride of lime, 2 pounds in
5 gallons of water, or
b. High test ochlo rite-1
pound in 5 gallons of water, or
C. 80 laundry bleach-2 gallons
in 3 gallons of water.
d. So laundry bleach gallon
in 4 gallons of water.
For small to 6 foot drilled
wells pour in half batch, for large
wells use full batch of 5 gallons
and for dug wells and cistern, one
gallon batch or more.
Leave mixture in we'll for sew
era: hours and then pump the sup
ply to waste until the odor of
chlorine disappears. The above So
luton is for disinfection only and
vii not correct physical defects.
