KANSAS CITY. Mar. 22.-The
NCAA's plans for television of
1854 football games won't be
public information for at least
another week.
The National Collegiate Ath-
letic Associations 12-man COM
mittee concluded it's two-day
meeting, third of the year, last
night.
Just what the 1854 plan will
be, whether similar to that of
last year or radically changed,
was not disclosed. The plan
last year was q game each week
telecast nationally, with the pro-
vision that each section of the
country be represented and that
no team could appear on TV
game twice.
Big Ten Leads Opposition.
There has been considerable
sentiment. especially on the part
of the Big Ten, to abolish the
national telecast idea and set up
the program on a regional basis.

Several years ago there were
ads in many Of the women's

which were hooked on to the

be adjusted to any height so
that a child Of any age could
easily reach them. Has any one
used these and found them
satisfactory? Are they still
available? Or, II any one has
a simpler solution for children

HOBBY.
(Mr. F. r. K, ArlingtonJ


! would like to suggest pho
Biography as an excellent
hobby. Imagine being able to
have lovely pictures of your
babies. flowers, house animals.
birds and yourself, of course.
You can easily learn to color
them. or you can take color
slides which you can project
for your own enjoyment and
to the applause of your family
and friends.
There are numerous maga-
zines available (on SubScrip-
ton, too) on the subject Of
photography. You can easily
learn to develop, print and en-
large your own film. And 1t
is not an expensive hobby. A
fairly good camera might seem
a bit on the expensive side at
first, but after you have
learned how to work it you
will want to devote all your
spare time to your new hobby.
which will keep you from
spending money for other
things.
The next thing you will need
will be few inexpensive
chemicals and an enlarger.
Any good camera store will
advise you regarding these
purchases. If you want to do
some figuring for yourself in
advance, just buy the current
magazines on the subject and
read the prices on advertised
photo merchandise. Also. Of
course, you will need a small
space which can be turned
into a darkroom. Then you
are set to go ahead on one of
the finest, artistic and often
most profitable hobbies in the
world.
There may even be an anna
teur photo club in your par
ticular area. at. a YMCA or a
local school. Photographers
are a widespread fraternity
and you may find some of
them just bursting at the
seams with good will the very
first time you take your new
camera for a walk. They love
to answer questions and will
help you become a real artist.
Try it!

The Madison Local School Sen

day evening, April 9 at 8 pm.
The plot is laid in a lonely old
house situated on an island con-

one bridge. To this deserted place
comes Elaine Blair, to look over
the property which she has inheri-
ted at her uncle's death.
Much to her surprise she finds
the house in the possession of an
old, mysterious doctor. One can
imagine the confusion and excite
ment when they both claim the
property and a large sum of money
that is hidden there.
Throughout the entire play,
strange, ethereal noises are heard;
a skeleton walks through the dim
shadows of the house and people

Sterling Cannery
Will Not Operate

The Mount Sterling factory of
the st. Marys Canning Company
will not can corn this year, accord
ing to Emerson Kies, manager of
the local plant. Mr.. Kies stated
that the firm would not contract
for a corn crop acreage this year.
Over production during past years
with the resulting surpluses of
canned corn was given as the reas-
on no corn would be processed by
the local plants this summer.
According to Kies, this surplus
of corn has forced the company to
discontinue the canning of corn at
the local plant temporarily and as
far as can be determined now will
apply only to the 1854 season.
Discontinuance of the canning
operation of the st. Marys plant
during the 1854 season will mean
that jobs which are usually afford
ed to from 125-150 persons during
the corn canning season will not be
available here.

Madison Co. COP
Gives Nod TO
Saxbe For Senate

The Madison County Republican
Committee has endorsed William
Saxbe, according to proceedings at
a recent meeting. 1t was revealed
that four of the eight member
local committee voted to endorse
Saxbe and that the remaining four
had passed their vote. A campaign
letter from Saxbe headquarters
stated that Madison county COP.
chairman, Robert G. Rea, had en-
dorsed SaXbe but Rea denied this
stating that the endorsement came
from the committee itself.
SaXbe'S late-starting campaign
seemed to be gaining momentum
after a good deal of silence in the
past few weeks. SaXbe did not file
his intentions as a candidate for
u. S. Senator until after many
party endorsements had been pie
dyed to George Bender of CleVe-
land. Saxbe's late start has re-
suited in a political quandary for
a number of Ohio county regular
committees inasmuch as some are
turning to Saxbe after having en-
dorsed Bender.
Saxbe is a 37-year-old World
II veteran who lives with his fam
lily in Mechanicsburg. He is cur
rently serving as Speaker of the
Ohio House of Representatives and
will be a candidate on the Repub-
lican ballot in May. The winner of
the Saxbe-Bender contest will OPP
pose Democrat Thomas Burke,
Cleveland, who is currently serving
out the uneXpired term of the late
Robert A. Taft. Burke was named
by Gov. Frank j. Lausche to fill
out the term.

lumbus as well as stealing several
autos from Columbus parking lots
and later abandoning them, police

counties on similar bad check
charges. She was arrested here
last year on bad check charges and
released on $1,000 bond. However,
she failed to appear after being
indicted by the Grand Jury last
June on four counts, Deputy Ken
meth Johnson said Monday.
