Redwood Won League Championship
Byhalia Has Best Overall Record

With tournament time at hand
and the regular season practical
ly over, Byhalia high school pos
sesses the best overall record of
any school in the county.
At the tournament drawing
Monday, coaches were polled by
County Supt. Gale w. Baldwin on
their won-lost records as of that
date, for both league games and
overall season.
Byhalia with 10 victories and
only two defeats, has the best
record of any Union county team.
Redwood, undefeated in eight
straight League starts, with
Broadway yet to be played at
that time, is best in league
standing.
Pressing Redwood hard for
first place in the league was
Broadway, with six victories and
one defeat. Byhalia and Union
will be tied for third place in
league standing with six and two.
The overall season record
shows Broadway in second place
behind Byhalia with 10 victories
and three defeats, while Rich
wood has a 1915 record and Un-
ion is 10 and 6.

bunch of kittens most of the eve

Marysville had bad first quar-
ter, being unable to settle down
to any kind of game. AS a result,
Westerville picked up a 9-6 lead
by the end of the opening stanza.
Starting with the second quar-
ter, however, the Monarchs de-
cided to put an end to such mon
key-shines and went to work.
From that moment on there wasn't
much doubt as to the final out
come. Marysville out-scored Wes-
terville 20-4 in the second period
to hold 26-13 half-time lead.
In the third quarter, Marysville
outscored Westerville 11-6 to hold
a 37-19 advantage, at the end of
the stanza. In the final quarter the
Monarchs ra ck ed up II points
more to only nine for the visitors.

Dwight Hush said that so far the
Nestles plant has not been Seri-
ously inconvenienced, due TO the
fact that it ordinarily ships pro-
ducts once a week. AS of today, the
only surplus products are those
that were not shipped last week.
However, Mr.. Hush said that in
the event the embargo is not lifted
soon the problem of storing may
become a complicated one.
Fright now we are processing
powdered milk, which is highly
concentrated, and therefore easier
to store. If the embargo should
continue over a period of time, the
situation would become serious,
especially since we are probably
now a week behind in making our
deliveries"

would benefit organizing the

The survey will be conducted on

Frank Greeneisen, county agent,
stated today that Union county
must be prepared to act as an eva
cuation center in the case of metro
politan bombing.
First we must be sure that our
own people are strong and
healthy" he said. "Next we must
be sure that our milk and water
supplies are safe and would not
contaminate strangers who might
be placed in our midst. For ex-
ample, many farms in the county
have contaminated wells. The
people who have been using this
well water are not effected by the
contamination, as they have built
up an immunity against the germs,
but strangers might contact dysen-
terry, typhoid or similar diseases
from this same source of water,

Effects of Railmen's Strike
Being Felt by Local Industry

Walter Stephens, shipping clerk
at H. B. Salter plant of EljerS, said
that their products are being stock
piled with the exception of few
truck loads of products that have
been sent out on the available
trucks.
One of the possible dilemmas as
far as Eljers is concerned, in the
event of further embargo, would
be the cut in their source of raw
materials, Mr.. Stephens added.
However, the dealer in perish
ables, such as the Colonial Hatch
cry, is probably hardest hit by the
shipping restrictions. Jim Bowin,
manager of the hatchery, said to-
day that the hatchery now has on
hand $4,000 baby chicks that
would ordinarily have b e e n
shipped parcel post to their buy
ers.
Right now, all we can do is
send chicks to Columbus and To-
ledo and the points between" said
Mr.. Bowen. Meantime, we are
selling all grades of the chicks at
the hatchery at one-half the usual
price"
The hatchery was faced with
this same dilemma last May when
the rail strike lasted week.
j. Feenstra, of Scott's seeds
said that since the rail "tOppageS
they have been trying to ship pro-
ducts by trucks.
"The truck lines are four Or five
days behind schedule now" he
said, land since the government
announced this noon that trucking
companies should give first prior
ity to military and postal needs,
shipping our merchandise by
truck is going to be still more
difficult.
Representatives of the Ohio
Grain Company stated today that
the conduct of their business will
not be affected, since all of their
products are shipped by truck
lines.

Caryl Asks Check
Ot Conservancy
District Expenses

An investigation of the "gross
and careless expenditure of pub
lie funds by the Scioto-Sandusky
Conservancy District was demand
ed today in a joint resolution Of
fered in the house of representa-
tives by Rep. Clifton Caryl R-
Uhion).
Caryl charged the expenditures
were ''for purposes unrelated to
the benefits sought" and that the
district proposed to spend an ad-
ditional 100000 on a flood con-
troll survey.
He asked the establishment of
a siX-member commission to con-
duct the probe. Two members
would be from the house, two
from the senate, and two by the
governor.
Caryl charged that the proposed

The rail strike which has been
restricting shipments of commodi-
ties since Feb. /, and which has
completely shut all rail shipments
in and out of Marysville since Sat-
urday is a real threat to manufac-
turing interests here.
Most of the representatives of
the local plants and companies
said that the rail strike, If called
off Immediately, would only be an
inconvenience, but if continued for
any period of time could cause
more far reaching complications.
Those interviewed concerning
the strike were Dwight Hush of
Nestles; Walter Stephens of Eljer
Manufacturing Co.; Jim Bowin of
Colonial Hatchery and j. Feenstra
of o. NJ. Scott & Sons Seed Co.

New Cold Wave
Hits Wednesday

Residents of this locality were
shivering in another sub-zero cold
wave Wednesday and today and
no relief was in sight for at least
another "a hours.
Meanwhile, Delmer Smith, local
manager of the Ohio Fuel Gas Co.,
said supplies OF gas coming into
Marysville today were more than
ample to last throughout the day.
"Our pressure coming into town
this morning was plenty good to
take care of heating demands" "
Mr.. Smith said. He saw no reason
for repetition of last weekend's s
emergency when gas pressure
dropped so low that many homes
were without heat.
Gas supplies are still being cur
tailed to local industry, and COM
mercial users are being asked to
cut UdCh lllCll llCol "llSIC pOo-
sible, but that is all.
The temperature dropped to
four below zero early today, and
by 10 a. m. had risen only nine de-
grees to five above. The drop to
zero came suddenly Wednesday
after two days of above freezing
38's, and caught people generally
by surprise.
Driving once again became haz-
ardous as Tuesdays rainfall froze
on the highways, covering them
with a thin sheet of ice.

Polio Victim Is
Slowly Improving

Richard George Smalley, 10
year old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
George Smalley, Sherodsville, is
reported to be in slightly i'm
proved condition at the Aultman
hospital, Canton, where he is re
ceiving treatment for polio.
His grandparents, Mr. and Mrs.
James Smalley, of Caldwell,
route 6, received word that the
lad was stricken with two diff
ferent types of infantile parat
lysis, the kind that affects the
muscular system and the respira-
tory system. His lungs and
throat were paralyzed and he is
under an oxygen tent. He can
now talk, swallow and move one
of his hands.
Although he is showing slight
improvement, he is still definite
ly on the dangerous list.
AS soon as the boy was able to
talk, he asked for his identical
twin, Raymond Jerry, but of
course, because of the danger of
contagion, it is not possible for
the twins to see each other.
The town of Sherodsville has
taken a collection for Richard
and the total, thus far is $125.00.
When asked what he expects to
do with all his money, Richard
replied that he wants to buy the
house where he and his family
lives.

For Landing
Light Plane

Floyd G. Hopkins, Is, a Char

to be alive after landing his light
plane after dark on a busy high
way in Washington county Is
miles southwest OF Marietta.
The state highway said Hop
kins, flying a Piper Super Cruis-
er from Warren Ohio to Charles
ton, ran out of gasoline on the
night of Dec. %, at an altitude
of 4,500 feet over Parkersburg.
With the Wood county airport
ten miles distant, Hopkins decid-
ed to try for a landing on a road
which, from the headlights of
automobiles he saw upon it, ap-
peared to be comparatively free
of curves.
The pilot brought the plane
down at 7:30 p. m on U. S. Route
so near Porterfield, not far from
the junction of state route rs.
The plane was undamaged.
Hopkins went to a Parkersburg
airport and obtained gasoline,
fueled up and took off three
