Expend­ itures amounted to $1,703 and $100 was set aside for league spring sports. While the individual school share was less than last year’s §300, this came about because no concessions operated in the Field House during the six-sessibh tourney last month. A year ago $290 in concession money was divided eight ways. - Biggest one-night attendance was recorded Feb. 22 when the county championship was decided. A total of 2,320 fans paid their way into the Field House for the b ig game. Six hundred and fifty four tickets for all tourney sessions were sold and al­ though attendance was not 100 per cent, that number is included in each night’s fan figures.

Today there are two Scout troops, one Brownie and one intermediate with a total of 51 girls.’ GGGKFiGHTlG T 0 BE INVESTIGATES INGREENECOUNTY Cockfighting in’ Greene county will probably come under immediate in­ vestigation by Prosecutor Marcus Shoup, he, indicated after being in­ formed o f t:ie illegal activity. Neither the prosecutor nor Sherriff Walton Spahr, who was out o f the city Monday on official business, had any knowledge of the cockfight arena, allegedly at Kil Kare park, near Trebein o ff the Dayton, near Trebein o ff the Dayton pike. Although the sherriff was not available for com­ ment, deputies said they had heard of no complaints being received by that office. Held in an old dance pavilion, an eyewitness said m ore.than 409 per­ sons, riding in 100-odd automobiles bearing license plates from at least four states, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee, were spectators at such cockfight Saturday night. Apparently still a thriving “ sport” the cockfighting in this area had ap­ parently been staged previously. It was reported that a blinking light at the Kil Kare entrance o ff the Dayton pike informed cockfight addicts “ in the know” of the evening’s program. A solitary guide, it wasjsaid, stood near the light to inform prospective customers, at §2 an admission, of the fight’s exact location and possibly serve asra “ lookout.” Affidavits were to be filed,probably on Thursday, by the prosecutor a- gainst a Dayton man for conducting the “ sport,” Previously the prosecutor had in­ tended filing charges against Frank Armentrout, park owner, hut decided against such a move when the latter told him that a man named C. ‘Vogel, 2 Nimitz drive, Dayton, had rented the park fo r last Saturday night. Red Cross Still Sewing for Needy What is felt to be a record in in­ genuity and economy in cutting gar­ ments from cloth has come to light, according to Mrs. Ghas. Kinsey, pro­ duction chairman o f Greene county Red Cross. She reports that Mrs. Kinsey, Mrs. Jesse Gilbert* W. Main St., Xenia, who accepted for cutting an 80 yard bolt of cloth 60 inches wide, was curious to know just what she could produce from this amount o f material. In checking up, she found that she had cut 52 capes, for three, six, and ten year old girls, two size 8 year dresses, two size 8 skirts and two size 4 skirts. Mrs. Gilbert made up 12 capes and skirts and dresses, ladies of the 2d U. P. Church made 18 capes, and the remaining 22 were returned to the Red Cross. Although little known to the gen­ eral public, hundreds of women in Xenia and Greene county are still busily sewing away on materials pro­ vided by the Red Cross, fashioning garments for destitute children all over the world. So willing are these workers that no urging is needed, and either at home or in groups at church or Red Cross sewing room, many at­ tractive and useful garments are fin­ ished and shipped to a distribution point. PROGRESSTECLUB FLANS T 0 RAIS: MONEY FOB PARI Ways and means were discussed at the regular meeting of the Cedarvi.Ie Progressive club Monday night at the Old Mill Camp to raise money *o equip the park area with recreation facilities. Although no definite acti'u was taken as to the kind of projects to be sponsored by the club, it was left to the program committee for final decision. The program committee is compose d of Harry Hamman, Arthur GuRic o and Charles Rheubert. Various types of entertainment were discussed, including a local tal­ ent burlesque basketball game. The latter* seemed to be the most likely to be staged in the near future, i f it is sponsored by the local organization, will be in the>next few weeks. The .auditing committee which v.vs appointed at the last regular meet'r.g of the club reported that a final ::o- qiort was not ready to be made at 1e meeting as there were still some rr. ' - ters to be cleared up by the outgo.., g treasurer. However, they stated that the bo;*i<s had been tured over to Ed Bull, ike new treasurer, and that the club was now in position to take care o f its outstanding bills, which were appro - ed by the members of the organization. The club voted to donate $10 to the annual Red Cross drive as has been don® in previous years. It was also decided that at ii:e next meeting a representative of the county organization sponsoring il.o 100 bed Greene county Memorial ho: - pital be invited to speak to the lo.al club. Arthur Cultiee was instructed o contact the Coca Cola company about operating the concessions at this year’s Labor day event. The chairman appointed Rev. Wil­ liam Waide and Dr. R. A. Jamieson to contact the other civic minded or­ ganizations o f the community in sn effort to coordinate the activities ol various clubs. The subject of a summer recreat­ ional program for the community w. ,j discussed, but “was tabled when Ed Bull, commander of the local Ameri­ can Legion post, stated that that or­ ganization had made plans to c a n y ' out such a program.

BUTCHMUFF, INTERSTATE GUARD, WINS SPORTSMANSHIP AWARD Big Dutch Milhuff, Interstate Busi­ ness college of Portsmouth,-who play­ ed a lot o f guard at the Ohio inter­ collegiate basketball touranment at Alford Memorial gym here last Thurs­ day, Friday and Saturday, walked o ff with the coveted sportsmanship a- ward, an 18 jewel wrist watch donat­ ed by the merchants of Cedarville. Although his team had to be con­ tented with the second place trophy, when he was called forward at the conclusion of the final game to ac­ cept his honor, a tremendous ovation rocked the gym and you could literal­ ly see the lump in his throat as he was presented the token. Leo Blackburn, director of the Ports­ mouth school, acted as master of ceremonies.in presenting the awards. Mr. Blackburn told the Herald that Dutch was a member of the 1945 Tulaqe football team, but last fall decided to finish at Interstate instead of returning to the southern school. As soon as it was apparent that no was not going to return to Tulane, he was beseiged with telegrams, phone calls and letters, but stuck to his de­ cision to stay north o f the Mason- Dixon line. Aside from Milhuff’s honor, the interstate team placed four men on the two mythieai teams picked by the tournament officials to tie with the Cedarville team who placed the same number. Both placed two men on the first team and two on the second. The Tol- son, brothers of Tiffin, Oscar and Omar, rounded out the two quintets and Jack Semones o f the Portsmouth branch of Ohio university tied with Farmer of Cedarville fo r one of the forward positions on the second five to give 11 players the 10 spots. The mythical all tournament teams m-e as follows: rirsfc team— Forward, Davis, Interstate Forward, Ball, Cedarville Center, Oscar Tolson, Tiffin Guard, McHarg, Interstate Guard, Virgil McNulty, Cedarville Second Team Forward, Farmer, Cedarville and Jack Semones, Ohio U.
