RumOr Pot Starts To Bubble as Ada
Considers Joining Football League

A recent decision by the Ada
high school athletic board to seek
membership in a football league
has stirred speculation in area
football circles.
Letters of inquiry were sent
ITO loops in this area" accord
ing to The Ada Herald, although
all the leagues contacted were
not revealed.
Indicated choices would be the
Western Buckeye league and the
Northwest conference, although
the Midwest conference might be
another choice.
The Western Buckeye league,
which recently added Coldwater.
is now an eight team league and
would probably find the addition
of a ninth school an awkward
process.
The Cavaliers were only added
after they moved into the class
AA ranks, replacing Bluffton.
Aad, like Bluffton, is a class A
school and the WBL might not
be inclined to add another small
school after so recently dropping
Bluffton.
Another possibility would be
the Northwest conference. Like
the WBL this league already has
eight members but the addition
of Ada would not prove so much
a problem because the Bulldogs
have always included several
NWC teams in their schedule.
They played two Northwest op-
ponents this year, Bluffton and
Lafayette, and defeated both.
The schools in the NWC are
much closer to Ada's size, and
If admitted the Bulldogs would
probably develop into one of the
major schools in this league.
They are already members of
the NWC in its remodeled bas-
ketball form. It now includes all
the Allen county schools as well
as Ada, Bluffton and Delphos
Jefferson.
| Another possibility would be
the Midwest conference, although
Ada's size and consistent power
would probably put them beyond
the reach of at least two of the
schools in this league. The league
is composed of Hardin-Northern,
Rockford, Waynesfield and Lake
view.
Still another possibility would
be the formation of still another
area league, with Ada taking the
lead in organizing such independ-
ents and newcomers as Carey,
Bath Township and Delphos st.
John.
Scheduling difficulties were

Pirates Climb
Back Into First
After Grove Win

The Bluffton Pirates climbed
back into a first place tie in the
Northwest conference last Thurs
day night as they shocked Col
umbus Grove 14-6.
Bluffton is now tied with Elida,
who was defeated by Rockford
12-6 in a non-league game.
Both Bluffton and Elida have
ono league game to play but
neither expects to be seriously
threatened by their opponents.
Bluffton plays Forest, seventh in
the league, and Elida meets sixth
place Spencerville.
Buttons victory almost COM
pletely bumped Columbus Grove
out of the title picture. Upset
losses for both Elida and Bluff
ton are the only thing which can
restore a share of the champion
ship to the Bulldogs.
In other league games De1phos
Jefferson broke their losing
streak by defeating stouthearted
Pandora-Gilboa 3916 and Spen-
cerville took their second win of
the year as they defeated For
est 1914.
Ada defeated Lafayette 26-6 in
a non-league battle.
League games this week match
Columbus Grove at Pa:idora-Gi-
boa and Spencerville at EIda.
Non-league games show Leip-
sic at Bluffton, Hardin-Northern

Forest and Paulding at Delphos

to temporarily suspend their old

Mr.. Eisenhower issued an ex-
ecutive order yesterday sus-
pending the eight-hour work
day for all laborers on the

Senator Knowland predicted
the Senate will take about 10
roll-call votes on labor reform
proposals beyond the scope OF

porters he will try TO push the
fund bill through the Senate
without a lot Of antilabor

floor"
But he denied reports that

ator johnson angrily charged
Senator Knowland was trying
to "harass and bring about q
road block against the fund
bill by introducing his amend
ments.
Urges Fund Passage
The Majority Leader urged
the Senate TO pass the fund
measure without Gripping
amendments"
Senator Ives, Republican Of
New York. also called for re-
lection of all amendments in
order to expedite action and
permit passage by the House
before adjournment.
Senator johnson had hoped
TO avoid an about floor battle
over major labor legislation this
election year. When Senator
Knowland insisted on offering
what he calls his bill Of rights"
for union members through
amendment Of the fund bill,
Senator johnson arranged for
hearings to start May S. But
Senator Knowland, not salts
fed, said the danger" was too
great that the legislation woulc
get lost late in the session.

Yu!e Lighting
Contest Again

Again this year the Genera
Electric Company will sponsor
it's annual $4,000 Nationwide
Residential Christmas Lighting
Contest, William H. Robinson,
Jr., manager of marketing for
the Miniature Lamp Depart
ment, announced today.
"Our purpose in sponsoring
this contest" he said, "is to en-
courage more people to partici-
pate in the growing custom OF
expressing the Yuletide spirit
t through colorfully lighted
Christmas decorations out of
doors"
Robinson estimated that more
more than 1900 communities
sponsored local Christmas light
ing contests during the 1857
holiday season.
A booklet "How To Conduct
Your Christmas Lighting Con-
test" details how civic or
ganizations can conduct Christ
mas decorating contests in their
communities, thus becoming eli
gible to participate in GE's Ma
tional contest.
Cash prizes will be awarded
to % home owners and % civic
organizations.
