Honors The Inaugural Address (By Dallas Marshall) Five little bundles containing plenty o f basketball ability and “ never say die spirit” have carried the colors of Cedarville High School to a very hon­ ored position. Although being forced to accept the second place trophy in both the Coun­ ty and Sectional meets, let no man say "What was wrong with the boys, why didn’t they win first place?”’ But on the other hand let him say to Coach Orr and every member of the squad, “ You are the best team in the world fo r your size, you have fought a good fight, we, the citizens o f Cedarville are proud of you.” the attempt was a success. The score was tied and the regular playing time was ended. First over­ time period o f three minute and Win­ chester score almost immediately. One minute gone, two minutes gone, justj a few remaining seconds and Cedar­ ville is fast nearing defeat, but wait, Joe has the ball in mid floor again,! with all his grace, ease, and deadly j eye he shoots—only the bottom o f the net was disturbed. Once more the score is even up and playing in the first overtime period is finished. The Bumble Bees then decided they had I fooled around long enough. Burba j scored again from the field just after j Entering the Sectional tournament;' second overtime Period ®ot under way and Waddle made victory more ' certain by adding another point with a charity toss.

The final game was just another [| basketball game. Both teams . were iI quite fatigued due to the strenuous 11 play of the tournament. No matter Iwhich won, both were going to Dayton |to the District tourney. About all: , .. . . , (there was to play for was to see who crowd with their sensationall victory, would take home the j trophy.

Friday night’s game with Wayne Twp., Clinton County, was a complete runaway for the home boys, the final outcome, never being in doubt after the first five-minutes. The only bet you could get on the game- was just how many points Cedarville might score. After all the shooting and pass­ ing was over the official scorer decid­ ed that Cedarville had won the game by the exceptional score of 41 to 13. • In the semi-final round against Win­ chester of Adams County the Bumble Bees really brought their stinger into play. They not only stung the Win­ chester crew but stunned the entire Holiday Is To Be Continued BULLETIN—President Roosevelt by proclamation at IX o'clock last night extended the bank holiday indefinitely that had been proclaimed Sunday and was to expire Friday, Con­ gress passed necessary legislation for new regulation of banks Thursday with the view of guaranteed bank deposits.

HEIRS FILE SUIT Suit has been filed in Common Pleas Court by Elizabeth Thomas, Harry and Edna Seifert, heirs of Michael Seifert, against the American Surety Co., New York, surety on bond posted by Lewis F. Tindall, executor of the Seifert estate charging that there has been no -distribution of $2,913.32, as­ sets o f the estate. The three suits each seeking to collect a judgment for $971.10 are fil­ ed in the name o f the three heirs. Ac­ cording to the petitions; Seifert died December 7, 1930, and Tindall, named .is executor, was directed to convert the estate into money, paying debts and certain other bequests and divid­ ing the. residue equally between the testator’s three children. It is claimed the executor converted the assets into cash in three months after his appointment and could have fully administered the estate and made a final accounting within twelve months but that he failed to do so un­ til March 16, 1932 when his first and final account showed a balance of $2,- 913.32 awaiting distribution. The plainti/Ts assert they- made written demands upon the executor for their one-third shares and were subsequently awarded judgments in Probate Court for the amounts sought, | but that the executor refused to pay them and they are unable to realize on the judgments by levying on his property. 73rd Congress Called In Special Session The hank situation in the country being so acute President Roosevelt under a war time measure passed in 1917 took charge and by proclamation on Sunday closed all banks and financial institutions, including building and loans until Friday. However there was later a. modification that permitted banks to open to make change; permit patrons to get to safety deposit boxes; permit certain banking to care for food shipments. New deposits after the proclamation can be checked upon and. banks are not permitted to invest the nqw deposits. Banks are not permitted to pass out gold or gold certificates. Under these conditions Greene' county banks have operated all or part time since Monday, business being confined largely to making change and setting up new accounts under the five per cent rule. This has, required an immense-amount o f work on bank clerical forces. Business has been all but paralyzed since the first runs started and the banks have been closed to the usual bank transactions. • Congress was called into extra session Thursday to enact laws that will revamp the whole banking system to provide more security to depositors. It will require many days to get the new system in operation and business will be compelled to drag along as 'best it can. There seemed no other way to put depositors in the preferred class without this inconvenience. Centralization o f the nation’s banking system in Wall Street has brought a condition wherein a few billion dollar banks were able to dictate the busi­ ness of the nation. Smaller banks were at $he mercy o f Wall Street orders whether business interests liked it op not. Scores o f our largest industrial concerns were under the control o f the big bankers who were crushing all in­ dependant manufacturers and. smaller retailers in business. The depositor can feel assured that with proper legislation and guaran­ teed bank deposits, money so trusted will be in safe hands. If the new laws give citizens this, protection confidence will be restored and business will in. the near future become normal. * Wind Storm Does Damage Wednesday This section was visited Wednesday afternoon and evening with a heavy wind storm that did considerable dam­ age^ though no great amount in any one section. Light and phone compan­ ies had some damage by the wind to their lines, trees being blown over them in places.

Gow- dy from the bench fo r the trial o f Frank Snypp, Osborn,’ indicted for violation o f the Ohio securities act, in a Written opinion received by. Clerk o f Courts Harvey Elam, f The chief justice dismissed an .a f­ fidavit o f prejudice filed by D. W, Hid­ ings, Dayton, counsel fo r Snypp, and ruled the charges' were not supported by evidence.

Snypp will go on trial the last of this month or the first week in April, HOW DO YOU GET ALONG WITHOUT A BANK?
