Only One Local
Person Involved
In Bad Driving

Madison County accounted for
only three accidents and no deaths
in the first half of the long Christ
mas Holiday, but officers are still
on the road in order to keep down
a possibility of marring the rec
ord during the remainder of the
period.
State Patrolmen reported two
accidents and one stolen car re-
covered over the week end. Sher-
ifs deputies reported only sin
gle wreck.
In the first accident reported by
the patrolmen, a car driven by r.
H. Bell, GA, Sandusky, wrecked on
US AZ south of Plain City on Sat-
urday. The driver. who said he had
not driven in more than a year,
came up behind another vehicle
and swerved to pass it, leaving the
road, hitting a telephone pole and
landing in a ditch. He was not in
jured
In the second accident, which
occurred on US 40 just east of
West Jefferson, George Shoub, "a.
Delaware, was fined for failing to
yield the right of way.
Allegedly, he did not stop be-
fore pulling out into Route 40
from side road. He crashed into
the car driven by James Dorman,
%, of Columbus. Both cars were
badly damaged.
Shoub was taken to West JEFF
ferson Mayors Court and fined
$40 and costs on the failing to
yield charge.
Not a single local individual
was charged with driving while
intoxicated, but two out-of-area
people were arrested on such
charges.
The lone accident reported by
the sheriff's department involved
only one person, ana very ngnt
damage to the car. There was no
injury
According to the Sheriff's office,
a car owned and operated by Rog-
er Williams, II, London. left the
highway and went into a ditch on
Route 38 near Newport The driv-
er is being held for juvenile auth
critics.
He was held without charge, but
officers reported he had been
drinking, and he told Sheriff Her
bert c .Markley where he bought
the drink in London establish
ment. He was taken into custody

e OUR
"a Town


You will not find Christmas
at Main and High Sunset
and Vine . nor at Broadway
and And Street.
You will not find it in the
stores, for it cannot be bought
and paid for.
But the stores can help to
make it real to yourself and
others :. if the gift you buy
is not mere quid pro quo, the
matching of anothers cost, but
a true bit of your own thought
and heart.
You will not find Christmas
in the jostling crowd, the
churning traffic of a busy
street, the noise, the glitter,
tinSel of the season. You will
not find it on lonely lake or
sea, in open field or mountain
glen +. though the stars may
bring it close.
You will not find it all in
books, on radio or television
:. though they can tell how
others found or lost it.
You will find much of
Christmas in the Salvation
Army lassie, on a cold and
wintry corner, thanking hasty
givers for a careless dime or
dollar.
You will find more in the
eyes of child, frank, true,
direct, wondering at the mys-
terry of the season.
You will hear it in the peal
of church bells, the joyous
sound of carols, the grand
sublimity of oratorio and an
them.
You will find it foretold in
the sixth verse of the ninth
chapter of the prophecy of
Isaiah.
Would you read the full
fillment?
Turn to the first 20 verses
of the second chapter of the
Gospel according to Saint
Luke.
Read again the story of that
first Christmas (. the manger
birth, the good tidings of
great joy to all people, the
song of the angels, the visit of
the shepherds.
Open the pages of memory.
Think of the joys of Christ
masses gone by those dear
de ad years of yesterday.
Think of today the warmth
OF friends. and home and fam
lily Age with its dreams,
Youth with its visions and
BRIGHT challenge.
Then look into your heart.
There, if you look deep
enough, and long enough. you
will find Christmas. Con-
tributed.
BUNDLE
Two youngsters were pull
ing a large, unwieldy sack
down the street when a po-
liceman stopped them. Look
boys" said the policeman,
you are creating a disturb
ance and humping into people.
Santa Claus won't stop at your
house if you keep on acting
this way"
The boys stopped pulling at
the sack long enough for one
10 reply, That's what you
think who do yuh suppose
we got in this bag?"
USINEss
If they stretch the Christ
mas season out any more the
first thing you know Santa
Claus will be selling fire
crackers.
Pity the poor lunch wagon
operator who was losing mon
ey but was unable to close up
because he couldn't afford to
eat out.
Asst WORD
And to you and you and you,
we wish the merriest I. like
the jitter-bugs say, "A Cool
Yule and a Frantic First"
But seriously, as another year
rolls by, we hope we have
pleased you and that we may
have caused a smile from time
to time. And so MERRY
CHRISTMAS!

Highlanders Edge
Berkeley Springs

April 14-Paced by the two-hit
pitching of Senior Toby Colaw,
the Southern Highlanders went on
to 81 victory over the Berkeley
Springs nine on the Southern dia-
mond. This game marked the sec
ond win of the season against one
loss for Coach Carl Hogue's dele
cation.
Colaw held his opponents hitless
and scoreless for the first four
frames. In the fifth, however,
Berkeley Springs tailed their lone
run on a single, two fielder's
choices, another single and two err
rors.
The IIighlanders drew blood
early in the game on a two-out
double by Fred Colaw, immediate
ly followed by a ringing triple off
the bat of Toby Colaw. Toby was
left stranded on third.
In the seventh inning, base-on-
balls to Paul BrOhaWn, sacrifice
by Allen Knots, and single by
Fred Colaw, scored Brohawn with
the deciding run.

near Sang Run, was badly dam
aged by fire on Tuesday afternoon
about 1:20, but the flames were fl
nally extinguished by members of

reason for every pitch he throws
Actually, he's faster than he looks.
Hes Sneaky fast" says Higgins.
He catches plenty Of batters asleep
with his fast ball. 1t lips by them before
they know it"
SuSce lives with his parents in Sara
sofa, Fla, during the off-Season. Born
in Pittsburgh, he grew up there and in
Cleveland, where his father was player
and coach from 1871 through 1919.
Young Susce has been mad for baseball
since he first sold peanuts in the Cleve-
land ball park when he was II years old.
His father made no attempt to pres
sure him into baseball. The son was per-
mitted TO make up his own mind. At II,
he made decision which cost his father
his job. Instead Of signing a Cleveland
contract, George, Jr., accepted bonus
from the Red Sox The Indians promptly
fired the old man. The Red Sox hired
him.
The elder Susce's primary job was to
help young pitchers. but he contributed
heavily TO the sensational comeback of
Jimmy PierSall, rookie Red Sox center
fielder who suffered a nervous break
down in the middle of the 1882 season.
PierSall was sent to Sarasota to rest and
recover
The Red Sox found him a home
near SuSoe's. All winter, Susce spent
some part Of each day with PiersalI, and
the Red Sox give the coach credit for

helping 10 redQJuSt the young Out1leIOer.
But Susce never realized lifelong
ambition to coach his son on major
league ball club. A broken leg and three
subsequent years in the Army delayed
young Georges professional start until
May of 1854, when he went to the Red
Sox farm club at Louisville But the
Red Sox let the senior Susce go when
they fired Manager Lou Boudreau at the
end of that season. SuSce went to Kansas
City when Boudreau became the mana
ger there.
All Was Forgiven
George, Jr., is the eldest of six chill
dren. His brother. Paul, pitches for
Alabama Polytech at Auburn. There are
two other brothers and two sisters, one
of whom, Helene, is former beauty
queen who now works as a model in
Kansas City
Always the dutiful son, young George
landed in the Red Sox doghouSe last
year when he reported day late to
spring training, because he first drove
his father to the Athletics camp at West
Palm Beach. The Red Sox we're particu-
larry irked because they train in Susce's
home town of Sarasota
However. the youth didn't remain in
the doghouse long.
IF it'll help him TO pitch the way he
did last year, said Boston club execu-
tive not long ago. ''he can drive the old
man 10 California" - The End

him TO survive spring training, for he had
only three quarters of season of minor
league experience behind him. But he
turned out TO be key pitcher. Before
the season was half over, he rated as
regular starter. He finished the year with
nine wins and seven losses, respectable
mark for an untried rookie.
The Red Sox have a good chance to
win the 1856 pennant. Their manager,
Mike Pinky) Higgins, is a solid baseball
man, who was selected the American
League manager-of-the-year last season.
when the Sox we're strong pennant
threat despite slow start. They gained
new strength from big off-Season trade
with the Washington Senators.
And their pitching staff, thanks partly
to SuSce, is sound. 1t was because the
rookie Highlander did so we'll that the
Red Sox we're willing to include three Of
their other promising young righthand-
erS in the deal with the Senators.
"knows What He's Doing"
SuSce is a control pitcher who throws
all sorts of pitches al varying speeds and
from several different angles. He can
practically thread a needle with base
ball at 90 feet. A combination of accu-
racy, poise and brains made him into
a big-league pitcher we'll before his
time
Other pitchers may be able to throw
harder" said Grady Hatton. Red Sox
