rs uC VEINS
London broke their ten game
whining streak Friday by bowling
to, Urbana AS. Early in the first
half of the grid contest, London
lost the valuable services of full
back Dwight Simpson. Bill Ward
did a fine job of filling in.
urbania Gets Seven IDS
Lowe and Cook were the main
cogs in Urbana's brilliant offense.
In four of UHS's touch down plays,
Frank Lowe ran the ball a total of
81 yards, and he kicked two good
conversions. Gary Cook found five
receivers for his long passes; Al
yard pass with 35 yard run by
Sanders was good for trip to the
diagonals. "Cappy' Buck and Bill
Childers also chalked up six points
each.
Lbs Runs Add Up
For the longest run of the eve-
ming, in the first quarter Jack
Crabbe intercepted on London's 25
a pass from Cook and got away,
over the mid-stripe, deep into Ur-
bana territory, but was brought
down on the Is yard line. But this
SO yard run was recalled for a
penalty after the interception.
During the final minute of play,
Phil Garrett saved face for the
Raiders by picking up 80 yards to
pay dirt on an end run. In the
proceeding plav Bill Grove darted
around left end fer 43 yard gain.

CBL favorites, got their second

City Faces Low
Water Pressure
AS Pump Fails

London residents Thursday were
urged to be conservative with the
use of water from the city mains.
An electric motor used in pump
ing water from the city softener to
the stand-pipe, which maintains
pressure, has burned out and must
be rewound, according to a report
from the Board of Public Utilities.
Meanwhile the Water Depart
ment will pump directly from the
wells to the stand-pipe, by-passing
the softening plant. Without the
use of the disabled motor the de-
partment will be unable to pump
sufficient water to maintain pres
sure in the event the city draws
too heavily on the present supply
in the stand-pipe. A heavy demand
on this supply would seriously
lower the pressure.
City officials estimated it would
be a week before the damaged
motor can be replaced.

Communist Guns
Turn Back Raid

SEOUL, Korea (AP)-Commun-
ist big guns turned back an Allied
raid with their mightiest barrage
of the year Wednesday. 1t was the
same day Red truce negotiators
threatened to renew heavy fight
ing in Korea.
The Communists poured 7.126
rounds of fire on u. N. positions in
"a hours. That's five times the
Reds normal volume in the pres
ent limited-action phase of the
war.
Half the shells broke up an Al
lied raid on three-hill enemy
position near Korangpo on the
Western Front. Heavy Communist
mortar and artillery barrages also
pounded two sectors east of the
once heavily contested Punchbowl
on the Eastern Front
Intensity of the Red fire didn't
match Allied peaks of up to 10000
rounds in single day.

Entrance Age Of
School Children
Under New Rule

A child must be five years old
before September l to enter kin
dergarten and six years old before
September l to enter the first
grade of school, under the new
ruling adopted by the London
Board of Education.
The new ruling will not affect
pupils who have been enrolled in
kindergarten the past year, ac-
cording to the communication from
Supt. j. j. Hartley to parents of
pre-school children.
The Board of Education had
hoped to put the ruling into effect
after the ensuing school year, but
the increased enrolment discover
ed at the pre-school clinic made it
necessary to make the change eff
fective for coming school year and
thereafter.
In adopting the rule the board
acted on recommendations of
teachers and with the welfare of
the children as paramount con-
Germ.
Supt. Hartley's communication
stated in part:
For several years the members
of the London Board of Education
have been urged by the teachers
and the principals of the London
public schools to change the en-
trance age of the child entering
school for the first time.
Over period of years the
teachers have observed that most
of the children who enter school
because their birthdays come be-
tween the first of September and
last of December are many times
too immature socially even though
the student is mentally capable of
doing the required work. Usually
the disadvantages of being too inn
mature socially or mentally-do
not become pronounced until the
child reaches the third or fourth
grade.
From that time on, in the
schooling of the child. many OBJ
stacles confront the pupil and pro-
gress is not so rapid as it should
be. Neither does the child enjoy
school as he or she should because
the child is competing with child
rem who may be six months older
than the child who is having class
room difficulties. 1t may be OBJ
served also that many children
who have experience show physi-
cal development also become the
retarded in their ability to read"

Four Madison county boys, as
well as about $50 lads from else
where in the state, may be disap-
pointed.
The Ohio American Legion can
celed Wednesday the sixteenth
Buckeye Boys State, scheduled to
begin June 6 at Camp Perry, be-
cause the camp has been flooded

The four Madison county boys,
who were to be sent to Boys State
by local organizations, are Roger

Bennett II Columbia Ave.
The Legion's headquarters said
the camp could not be made habit
able in time for the scheduled
opening of the week-long mock
government, which was to have
attracted $50 high school boys this
year.
A storm on the lake March %
destroyed a section of dixie behind
the camps rifle range and more
recent storm widened the gap to
about 400 feet. The storms enabled
the lake, now at an all-time high
level, to flood partially the
grounds and storm and sanitary
sewers.
The Legion said notices of the
decision to cancel and refunds of
S35 tuition for each boy will be
sent to each of the more than
400 local posts participating in the
event.
