Plain City Opens Season
With Victory At 0strander

Coach Gerald Straley led his
Plain City High School basket
ball teams to Ostrander Tuesday
night where they opened their
1953-54 season with a pair OF
victories over the Scioto Valley
teams in spectacular fashion.
Quite a large crowd of Plain
City fans followed the teams to
the Delaware County town to get
their first peep at the team
which they hope will repeat again
this year as the Madison County
and District Champions. Coach
Straley has but three regulars
back from last years team and
it was generally thought that the
team this year would not be
nearly as strong as last years
aggregation.
Those who saw the games at
Ostrander Tuesday night came
home with a satisfied look on
their face and many were of
the opinion that the teams both
looked mighty good in their first
appearance.
The varsity game was not too
exciting due to the fact that
the "Scothes" won rather easily
by a 65 to SO score. The six
varsity players which the coach
used all looked the part of a
championship team in the MAX
ing. Led by the three seniors,
Davis, ColfleSh and Phelps the
team seemed to work deliberate
ly and smoothly as they moved
the ball into the basket for most
all closeup shots. Davis an d
Phelps the two tall players on
the squad passed well to each
other and both scored consistently
from a double pivot within the
circle.
One thing which the fans could
not help but notice was the fine
hankboard play Of all six Of the
regulars. This looks like it will
be better defensive team than
anyone had expected and Doubt
less we can look forward to an
other successful season.
The reserve team also looked
good after a slow start and they
improved as the game went along.
There are some real stars of the
future on this squad. And re-
member, they are all freshmen
and sophomores. Their final score
was Al to 34

The Scioto Valley teams are
coached by Thad Seeley Jr. of
Jerome and his teams looked like
they were well coached on the
fundamentals of the game, but
they lacked the size and expert
ence to compete with the local
squad. Coach Seeley has only one
player who stands close to six
feet and his material this sea-
son is far below par for the Os-
trander community. However ne
will doubtless have a good team

son rolls around for he is gen.

Letter Carriers

The United States letter car

a treatment and cure to save the
lives of those afflicted by this

An observing boy of five, his
mother and father, and the elder
ly father of one of the parents
lived together in the same home.
The father was old and feeble
and would often spill his food at
the table. The young couple had
little patience, so they gave the
elderly father a wooden bowl and
a crude spoon and asked him to
eat in the kitchen rather than in
the dining room with the family.
A few days later the young
father watched his son of five
years cutting away at a piece of
wood with his pocket-knife. Cur
ious, he asked what he was MAX
ing. The young lad replied in a
matter-o f-factmanner: "Oh, I'm
just making a bowl for you and

All three games were played on
the Canaan floor which was OF

team. But the fact is Canaan play

David Spitzer has developed Bob

Private plant expenditures,
after recent substantial increases
in plant capacity reflected in
part by defense requirements,
are expected to drop in 1854 to
just below 50 billion. This COM
pares with a record high of $2.3
billion in 1852, when defense
expansion was at a peak, and
slightly less than $2.3 billion
estimated for 1853.
Farm construction, in view
Of recent trends in farm income,
is expected to continue down
ward next year, decreasing q
little over 10 per cent. Moderate
declines also are expected in
public industrial building and
military facilities. Public hous-
ing will drop sharply, it was
predicted. as result Of the re-
duced statutory limit on the
number Of federally subsidized
units that may be expected to
start this fiscal year.

A mild contraction in private
construction seems likely in the
coming year, Labor Department
experts forecast today.
Expenditures for new con-
struction are expected to total
about $34 billion in 1854, they
say, a figure about 2 per cent
under the record volume of
nearly $34.7 billion expected by
the end of this year.
While private construction
may taper off slightly, indica-
tions are that public construc-
ton will about equal this years

estimates that private expendi-
lures in 1854 will total $22.8 bill

billion.
The 1854 outlook is based on

the Bureau of Labor Statistics
and the Building Materials and
Construction Division of the
Commerce Department.

Presbyterians Move
To Prevent Churches
From Withdrawing
BY the Asseeiosed Press

MONTREAL, N. c., Dune g.
A policy aimed at discouraging
individual churches from pulling
out of the denomination was
spelled out by the General As
sembly of the Southern Presby-
terian Church here today.
A declaration tieing owner
ship Of church property to the
main body Of the church brought
the first debate of the session
before it was approved. The
assembly rejected by a 224-12O
vote a proposal to leave owner
ship entirely in the hands of
local congregations.
Some observers regarded the
action as an indication of VIC
tory for a plan to reunite the
Southern Church with the Pres
byterian Church (Northern and
the United Presbyterian Church.
The reunion proposal comes up
for action Tuesday.
Rises In Importance.
Although ownership of church
property has been a long stand
ing controversy. it has become
more important because of re-
union plans. Foes of reunion
contend local congregations have
sole authority in ownership of
church property, while pro-union
forces maintain the higher
church bodies have a voice in
its use.
If the declaration adopted to-
day could be enforced, it would
prevent churches disgruntled
over reunion from withdrawing
and taking their property with
them.
Several important questions Of
church policy in addition to the
reunion proposal will be decided
Monday and Tuesday. Among
them will be suggested changes
in church rules covering divorce
and remarriage.
Would Broaden Rules.
The new rules would give min
listers greater discretion in de-
Gliding whether divorced persons
could be remarked by the
church. They also would broaden
permissible grounds for divorce
from adultery and wilful deser-
ton to include physical or
spiritual unfaithfulness.

practical thought to what they
could do to keep their households

that, for instance. she was glad
she had a f1ashlight 80 that I

In a speech prepared for the

in Radio and TeleviSion, Inc,
Mrs. Howard told of attending
the recent Nevada A-blast which
tested civil defense preparations.
She continued:
II know now, from personal
observation, that there would be
things to rescue from water dam

small fires that might destroy
the whole house if left un-fought.
II know. because have seen

and emergency supplies to be
uncovered from the rubble.
And I know, because have
seen those mannequins at Yucca
Flats, that there would be other
people who needed help"
Then Mrs. Howard offered a
formula:
"One volunteer plus civil de-
fense training equals one family
spared needless suffering c.
death"
She deplored the attitude of
people who stocked mountain
cabins with food. as retreats in
case of attack.
She said she considered her

live through an atomic attack,

cry and conspiracy.

The two New York firms used
the licenses to export tin to Ven-
ezuela, the government charged.
The Bennetts pleaded guilty
at the arraignment. Violin
pleaded not guilty.
Violin Claimed Illness.
Wolin's trial was originally
scheduled for January but the
attorneys for the New York man
claimed he was too i'll to stand
