Marysville high school ran its
victory string to seven straight,
Friday evening, as the Monarchs
rolled to a convincing 63-41 vic
tory at Grove City It was the
locals sixth win in the Mid-Six
league and leaves them on top
of the heap.
In the preliminary game, the
Marysville Reserves played errat-
ic ball to drop a 35-41 decision
to the sharp-shooting Grove City
reserves.
In spite of their wide margin
of victory, the Monarch Varsity
played spotty ball and at times
had trouble keeping Grove City
under control There was a time
in the third quarter when the
Greyhounds outscored the Mon
archs for several minutes pulled
within eight points of tieing it
up.
Ball-Handling Good
But late In the third period,
MarySville settled down again to
put the game on ice, and things
were never in doubt in the final
StanZa.
For the most part, the Mon
archs' passing and ball handling
were excellent. AS against Hill
ard Tuesday, Marysville control
led both bankboards most of the
way, and presented tight de-
fense under the basket.
Grove City's only recourse was
long shots, which they hit for an
amazing percentage, and this kept
them in the ball game as long as
they were. Only three of their
buckets came from within the
free-throW area.
36-23 at Half
Starting strong, Marysville built
up an eight point lead before

In Defeating Grove City 63-4l Friday

Grove City tailed at all. The
score at the end of the first per-
iod was 20-10, and the Monarchs'
half-time margin was 36-23.
About midway in the third
quarter, Grove City was trailing

to such follishness. The three
quarter margin was 52-37 and

DR.. Robert Vogel, advisor in
public health to the medical di-
rector Of Union county civil de-
fense, stated today that the Union
county department of health is
ready with trained personnel to
aid the civil defense program in
any way deemed advisable by the
director.
Mrs. Dorothy Royce, supervis-
ing nurse in the health department
are now ready to begin instruc-
tions in home nursing care when
ever classes are set up.
She said every mother should
be sure that each member OF the
family is adequately protected
from diptheria, whooping cough,
tetanus, typhoid fever, and small
pox and should further look to the
general well being of her family
to insure that each member is at
the peak of physical health and
well being. The mother should also
contact her civic leaders and learn
how she can become a home nurse,
and be ready to aid her family in
case disease should strike, she
stated.
"In case of air attack from the
enemy, on the industrial centers of
Columbus or Dayton, Union county
would probably be used as an
evacuation CENTER" Mrs. Royce
said "In that event, the displaced
persons could bring various di-
seases into our community with
them, and infect our own people.
The only safeguard against that is
protection through good health.
"The first step is immuniZation.
The department of health offers
every citizen clinics where chill
dren may be vaccinated and i'm
munized against the several di-
seases. Babies should be carefully
checked, either through the family
physician or one of the many well

Remains of Indian settlements are

County. Arrowheads, stone pipes
and tomahawks have been unearth-
ed at Fountain Rock, st. James, on
the land of James Marker; three
miles east of Sharpsburg, Indian
relics have been found; in Cedar

were found; at Eakle's Mill, near

After the fatal battle in which
General Braddock lost his life, the
Indians kept up a continuous war
fare. "A writer says: "This war
upon the settlers of this county was
so ferocious that for a time scarce
ly a white person was left west of
South Mountain" George Wash
ington wrote of it in 1856, as fol-.
lows: "The whole settlement of Con-
ococheague in Maryland is fed and
there remains only two families
from thence to Fredericktown."
The following is of special local
interest: Some time in the zoos the
Observation-Disclosures of the late
John S. Kaulser were massacred by
the Indians in Lancaster County,
Pa. The remainder of the family
moved to York County, Pa. While
living there, John Kausler, a lad of
8 years, and subsequently great
grandfather of John S. Kausler, was
playing along the road with his sis
ter, 212 years old. Indians carried
her off and no trace was ever found
of her, although a most diligent
search was made. Later in life the
brother moved to Washington Coun-
ty and married His wife was scalp
ed by Indians, somewhere between
Hagastown and Williamsport, but
she survived.
Captain Robert Elliott, a settler of
Hagerstown, was killed by a party
of Indians while on his way to join
General Wayne's army. Governor
Sharpe, of Maryland, raised the
bounty on Indian scalps and soon the
power of the savage was forever
broken in the East. There were
houses strongly built which served
as forts for the people who sought
shelter from the Indians. One was
the house of Moses Chaplin, in the
neighborhood of Keedysville; an
other that of Thomas Craesap, at
Long Meadows, north of Hagerstown,
and Fort Frederick.

BEHIND HOME PLATE
By Doug Stewart

Club to work with him as umpires
in the game. Before the game was
over, however, a regular alternate
umpire arrived and Wheaton was
relieved of his umpiring duties in
time to get into the game as a pinch
hitter.
That's really one for the books.
In Saturday nights game with
Lancaster, Bill Allen not only got
three hits and a walk in his five
times at bat, but also came up with
the key play of the game that start
ed the Braves on their big eighth
inning that put them out in front to
stay.
With Allen on first and Freund on
second with none out, Tommy Lind
laid down a bunt and Allen set sail
for third. The pitcher fielded the
ball and whipped it to Louis at third,
but Aliens perfect slide beat the
throw and the bases were loaded
with none out. Then, with the in
field playing in to cut off run at the
plate, Hersom hit high grounder to
third that hoped over Louis head
and two runs crossed the plate.
If Allen had not been playing
heads up baseball, he would have
been thrown out at third, leaving
men on first and second with one out.
Then the infeld would have been
playing back in their normal posi-
tions and Hersom's high grounder
would easily have been fielded by
Louis and converted into a double
play, which would have, of course,
retired the side without a run.

About six miles south of Williams
port is a section of the county known
as 'The Neck" 1t gets its name from
a decided curve in the course of the
Potomac River, which leaves a por-
ton of land in the concave part of
a rather peculiar shape. In the
early days of the formation of the
earth the river, in seeking its out
let to the sea, made this big bend.
Herein is located fertile lands. In
the early days of the settling of this
part of the county hangs a story.
In this section lived the Favorites.
These people desired to posses more
land. But the land was held by the
Indians so the Favorites began
negotiations to possess it. An offer
was made to the Indians of 25 GAL
Ions of liquor and Is pounds of to-
bacco for quite large tract of land.
The offer was accepted and the In
dams left for other hunting grounds
to the north, never to return again.
This does not seem much of a price
at all for so much land but per-
haps there were reasons for it. No
doubt the Entertainments of civiliza-
ton were becoming a problem to
the Indians and they thought best
to leave and surrender to the White
Man. Also values were not the
same in those days that they are
today.
This tribe of Indians, most likely,
were members of one or the other
of the two tribes which fought to
such deadly and decided finish at
the point where the Conococheague
Creek empties into the Potomac
River at Williamsport. It is his
tory that a deadly battle was fought
here by the Delawares and the
Catawbas about 1886. One tribe
was completely annihilated with the
exception of one brave who sought
and secured shelter in the home of
Jacob Friend, in the neighborhood

and then forced Hertwick to hit one
