said. AT least one Of the

policy opposed to publishing
any undesirable books"
Fingold briefly reviewed his
efforts to bar such comic
books as "were flooding the
Commonwealth and doing in
calculable harm to the youth
of our state.
THE most difficult part of
the problem was how to get
rid of such so-called literature
without establishing any form

trian protection program.
There has been a very obvious
inverse ratio between the number
of pedestrians killed each year
and the number of states and cities
reporting in the AAA pedestrian
protection contest. This contest,
Mr.. Campbell explained, is design
ed primarily to encourage and as
sist states and cities to establish
and continue an effective pedes-
trian protection campaign.
The lowest pedestrian death toll
on record came in 1852 when AZ
states and more than 1900 cities
entered the AAA contest. In the
1853 contest, which closed Decem-
ber 81, all AZ states were entered
and the number of cities entering
is expected to be about equal to
last year.
Mr.. Campbell said he was
pleased to note that in the years
between 1896 and 1853 pedestrian
fatalities decreased As percent,
while other traffic deaths increas-
ed % percent.

MarysviIIe Tops
London By Ten
Points Friday
BY PETE CONWAY

Last Friday night at the Marys-
vile gym, Marysville's inspired
Monarchs beat the London Red
Raiders by score of 50 to AZ in a
Mid-Six battle. This loss only
leaves London with margin of a
half game over Marysville, who
is in second place in the league.
In the first quarter Marysville
took lead by a score of 10 to 2
in the first few minutes of the
game. Marysville didn't stop with
this, they went on to increase their
lead by a score of 20 to 7 at the
end of the first quarter. In the Sec
ond quarter London tried to come
back, but they just didn't have
enough steam to keep up with the
Monarchs. Marysville increased
their lead to "a to Is by the time
that the first half was over. The
Raiders came out full of pep for
the second half, but Marysville
wouldn't let the Raiders score. The
third quarter ended with Marys-
vile holding the lead which they
took in the first quarter. The third
period score was Al to 28 with the

day night. This proved to be real
comedy of errors" because, un-
known to all, each seat had two
occupants!
In an important G.A.A. meeting
this past week, another play day
was planned and committees as
signed. Amid much discussion, it
was decided that the junior and
seniors would be allowed to par
ticipate. An equally important
meeting was the Junior class meet
ing. Discussed were the date for
the Prom and the $3.50 Valentine
Dance to be held the 18th of Febr-
uary in the gym.
In a very exciting game Tuesday
our Raiders whipped the Plain
City Scotties by 52-46. But the
Marysville Monarchs seemed to
have them confused, and the Raid
ers were whipped into a 52-42 SUBJ
mission.
Unluckily, our reserves lost to
Plain City in a thrilling overtime,
by 1926, and to Marysville by
1926. We are sure you plan to
remedy these losses at Worthing-
ton Friday, boys. Well be there
yelling for you!
Friday marked a very important
day around London High. It was
Mr.. Hartley's and Mrs. Hahn's
birthday. The two were honored
by the whole student body in the

tend our heartiest congratulations
to them! Congratulations also TO

Saturday! It is surely an honor to
be one of these privileged few.

Not actual trouble, but it seems
that the injuries have been quite

well, young bones mend quickly!

Earle Gentle, 24-year-old student

Gentle who is better known

by Prof. Dale V. Gilliland, of Ohio
States School of Music. That was
more thar a year ago. Since then

His friends say he sings we'll
enough to be Lanza's brother. At
one time he copied Lanza's style,
but lately, he has switched to the
style of other Italian tenors, he
says. And his choice is straight op-
cratic singing.
Meanwhile, the Cleveland boy is
pursuing a course in Ohio State
University'S Health Center that is
preparing him among other things,
for administering to those who
have been crippled or injured
through accidents. He is in his SEN

store. And of course, devoting time
to voice lessons.
'T don't know" Gentle said,
sure like to sing. Right now my
music is like a hobby with me. But
if I had the opportunity, I think
I'd take it. The medicine gives me
a good solid thing to fall back on. ."
He has more than distant re-
lationship with the famed Mario
LAMA. Earle's mother is a cousin
of the tenor's mother, and Earle
has met Mario several times. BY
coincidence, his mothers maiden
name was Caruso.

Early Tabulations indicate that

will run slightly under the $500
who lost their lives in traffic dur

Mr.. Campbell said that there
has been a steady downward trend
in pedestrian fatalities since 1887

Figured on the fiscal year basis,
