S944 BountieS
On Foxes, Crows

The parable OF the fox and the
crow" paid Union countians a to-
tai of SOAPS last year, for the de-
struction of these pests.
Auditor Frank McCurdy said to-
day that 1929 crows were killed,
and a bounty of 25 cents for each
was paid, making a total of
S55725. The county pays SO for
foxes, and 129 were destroyed last
year, making the total bounty paid
1887.
Crows have long been famous
for their ability TO pick clean a
grain field, and foxes, who are par
tial to chicken, have been known
to destroy an entire flock, over a
period of time.
Untold damage is done by these
costly marauders, and in an effort
to check their thieving activities,
the county pays bounty for their
destruction.
Before collecting the bounty,
proof must be made that the bird
or animal has been destroyed.
Claimants are required to take the
four feet of the fox to the sheriff,
who authorizes that payments be
made. In the case of the crows, the
heads of the birds are taken to the
township clerk.

William Temple, director of
music at the Lima city schools,
will be the guest director for the
chorus. Mr.. Temple has a fine
record for his music work in Lima
and will be here to help make this
the best festival in its history.
Music teachers who are direct
ing the festival believe the ex-
tended time allotted to the stu
dents by the weather, has given
them the opportunity to further
perfect the festival arrangements.
Teachers have predicted that due
to the increased practice time,
this years festival will be the best
one for the past several years.
The festival represents the
largest coordinated school effort
of all the high schools in the
county. Music directors who have
selected the music and rehearsed

Smith, local manager of the Ohio
Fuel Gas Co., described the situ-
alton as "spotty' all over town.
Churches Cancel Services
With the situation being what
it was, Mr.. Smith asked all
churches heated by gas to cancel
Sunday morning services. Conse-
quently, there were no services in
the Presbyterian, Methodist, Eng
lish Luth eran and Catholic
churches.
Mr.. Smith explained the gas
shortage as follows:
This is the most paralyzing
winter we have ever experienced
over our entire belt which extends,
from Texas to New York" he
pointed out. In addition to the
general cold and its accompanying
drain on the gas supply, other fac
tors also contributed to the short
age:
High waters encountered in
other states have flooded a couple
of compressor stations which nor
mally help boost the flow of nat
ural gas.
A landslide in another state has
thrown two supply lines out of
operation.
Suffering Statewide
Suffering from gas shortage was
state wide.
The low supply of natural gas
became critical Saturday in Co.
lumbus, forcing Ohio Fuel Gas
Company officials to shut off
service to several residential sec
tions in suburban Columbus.
The gas company said rs to 100
homes on Dublin road, northwest
of Columbus, were cut off from
service to preserve pressure. The
home owners used fireplaceS to

MonarChs to See Action Twice
This Week; Play Westerville, London

come to them in the final two
minutes of play, after they had
led most of the way.
One of these last-minute victors
was Marysville, the Monarchs eX-
ploding for II points in the last
five minutes after trailing by
nine points.
Friday night will find Marys-
vile playing its most crucial game
of the season at London. The Lo-
Gals had little trouble defeating
the Raiders here a few weeks
back, but this Fridays game will
be a different story.
The London floor is very mar
row, and on it the Raiders are
always tough. Besides which, they
are very, very unhappy over the
way they were mauled by the
Monarchs in their last encounter
and are anxious to avenge that
shellacking.
Outside of their showing against
Marysville, London has proven
a formidable, high-scoring out
fit all season long. In League play,
they have actually piled up more
points than Marysville and have
been winning by lop-sided scores
most of the time.

League Standing
Show No Chance

With only one game played
over the weekend, no thanks to
the lousy weather, there were no
changes in Mid-SiX League stand
ings.
The only game. was between
London and WSeterville, with
London coming from behind in
the second half to win comfort
ably on their own floor. This left
London in second with six wins
and loss and Westerville in the
cellar, victim of six straight
losses.
Championship of the League
could be settled this Friday when
MarysVille goes to London to
meet that strong contender. If
the Monarchs win, it will virtu-
ally cinch the title for them, but
a victory by London could throw
things into a two or three-Way
tie.
There are two League games
Tuesday, Westerville playing at
Marysville and London at Grove
City. Besides the MarySville-Lon-
don fracas Friday, Worthington
will play at billiards in the only
other League tilt.

.2l,743 Volumes
Loaned at Library

There were 21.743 books from
the Marysville public library cir
culated to readers in this area dur
ing 1850, according to Florence
Lentz( member of the library staff.
OF this number, 1888 were
adult books, and the remaining
number, 8,145, were juvenile read
ing matter.
Four hundred and twenty-five
new books were purchased last
year by the library board, includ-
ing 257 adult books and 168 juve-
nile books.
New library cards were issued
to 437 persons during the year, of
which 271 were adult subscribers
and 166 were juveniles.
January 10 of last year holds
the record for the largest circula-
ton with 220 books checked out of
the library on that day. Books
loaned to the county schools last
year totaled 160. There was
$4,000 paid into the library fund
for fines on delinquent books.
When asked what kind of books
the readers seem to want most,
Miss Lentz said:
"Since the Columbus Citizen has
been conducting its contest, it
seems people want history books
SO they can look up the answers to
the questions"

Broadway Man
Burns to Death

David Sieg, age 80, burned to
death at $3.50 a. m. Sunday in the
small house he occupied close to
the home of his daughter, Mrs.
Everett Detweiler, on Marysville
Rt. near Broadway. His cloth
ing caught on fire, probably from
a coal oil stove in his bedroom.
Mrs. Detweiler looked out her
window and saw flames through
the window of the room where
her father slept. She ran to the
scene and tried to extinguish the
flames with a blanket, but the
flames and smoke overcame him
before more could be done.
DR.. E. j. Marsh, of Broadway,
was summoned, as were Sheriff
Walter T. Galloway and Deputy
Franklin Simpson. The body was
removed to the Winter Funeral
home in Raymond for a private
service and burial.
Surviving besides Mrs Det-
weller are two brothers, John and
Darius Sieg, both of Mount
Victory.
Mr.. Sieg was born in 1869, the
son of Paul K. and Margaret
(Evans) Sieg and was married in
1894 to Nellie Reams, who pre-
ceded him in death.
Funeral services will be held
at 2 p. m. Tuesday in the Winter
funeral chapel, conducted by the
Rev. Edwin Finlinson. Interment
will be in the Mt. Victory ceme-
terry, in charge of Willard Winter.

Bill Would Leave
County in Same

The seventh congressional dis
trict, in which Union county is To-
Gated, would be the only district
left intact under a bill proposed
by Rep. John Lynch to give Ohio
% congressional districts, one
more than it has at present.
Other counties included in the
seventh district, which will not be
changed, are Clark, Clinton,
Green, Fayette, Logan, Madison,
Union and Warren.
The bill was, Lynch said, pat
termed on Presidents Truman's
suggestion that congressional dis
tricts include about 350,000 per-
sons.
At the present time Ohio has, %
districts and elects one congress
man-at-large.
Lynch's proposal would give the
extra district congressman to Co
lumbus and surrounding Franklin
county, which, Lynch said, has too
many people for one district. The
county's population is 1882.
Lynch said that, although it
would make two relatively small
districts, he gave the county "the
benefit of the doubt" because of
his belief that it is growing fast
and soon would be large enough
for two full districts
He pointed out that, if the leg
islature didn't like his suggestion,
it could continue to hold Franklin
county to one district and continue
to elect a congressman-at-large
Lynch would leave Cincinnati's
Hamilton county with two dis
tricts and provide four for Cuya-
hoga county.
