BigRedsOpen HomeSeason ithWin The Big Reds of Cedarville high school opened their home cage season last Friday night at Alford Memorial gym with a win over Ross by a score o f 37-30 to make their season record an even .500 after they dropped their initial encounter to Silvercreek the Friday night before. Piling up a commanding 11-2 lead in the opening frame, .the locals were in command through­ out the contest and their big mar­ gin staved o ff a Panther rally in the final period after two o f the Crimson had left the fracas by the five personal foul route. Bill Fife opened the scoring fo r the locals as they worked the tipoff play to perfection, and al­ though the contest was marked by numerous fouls and was quite rough and tumble in spots, they showed promise of becoming a well organized, high scoring unit. The Big Reds opening period margin was shaved a pair of points during the second period but they were still out in front at the halftime intermission with th e count standing at 17-10. The Reds piled it on in the third canto as they racked up 15 points while the Panther’s were held to 7 to make the count as the final stanza began 32-17 The Panthers came on with a scoring burst in the final minutes o f the game after two o f the locals left the game with five per- soals, but the lead the Crimson had built up in the first three quarters was too great to over­ come. This week the Big Reds will journey to Yellow Springs on Friday night to face Bryan and then on Tuesday night they will be host to Spring Valley. • Continued on Page Four With t h e Churches METHODIST CHURCH William B.

President Truman opened the special session o f Congress with a speech on Monday afternoon which was broadcast over all lead­ ing radio stations. The Junior American History and Senior Government classes were fortu­ nate in having their class periods at the time of his speech, and radios were brought into their rooms so the students could lis­ ten as the President delivered his speech. The A m e r i c a n Government class held a round-table discussion concerning this speech on Tues­ day afternoon............ “ Big Reds” Win Second Game The “Big Reds” won their game Friday night, 37 to 30, over Ross “ Panthers.” The Reds’ had a good start at the end of the first quar­ ter, with the score 11-2. The Reds had a comfortable lead on the “ Panthers” throughout the game, although in the last' quarter, the “ Panthers” outscored the “ Big Reds.” Ross showed plenty of fight during the whole game, and especially in the last quarter. Several fouls were called on both teams. Officials for the game were Griest and Steel of Spring- field. . * . . Yea Team! Fight! The cheering section proved to be a peppy group at the first home game, Friday night. Qur new cheer­ leaders, Ann Duvall, Leon Ell- cessor, and Mary Jo Duvall gave a spirited performance, showing promitb of good work in future games. Fans, don’t forget that there is a sportsmanship trophy to be awarded to- some school in ■ the county at the end of the season. This trophy cannot be won with­ out the cooperation of the cheer­ ing section with the team, coach, and cheerleaders. Every instance of discourtesy on our part toward the visiting team will lessen our chances o f winning the trophy. Let’s get back o f the team and the cheerleaders one hundred per cent in future games. Let’s all head fo r Bryan, on Friday night, and help our boys to win the Continued on Page Four FarmProgram ToCongress The first step in any comprS*[ hensive agricultural p r o g r a n f uiust be the enactment of laVfS.-* designel to encourage the co8* starvation type of farming and discourage the depletion type $t farming, David C. Bradfute of* Meadow Stock farm, near Ced&jtH ville, told members of the houffe o f representatives agriculture committee at a hearing in Kan­ sas City, Mo. . : Mr; Bradfute’s statement to the committee was read last Wednesk day evening &t a meeting o f tl|| * soil conservation district councR held in the Federal ^building*? Springfield. The council, repr&s senting boards ojf supervfjscfc'if from five conservation districts in this area, arranged Mr. Brad- fute’s trip to the Kansas City hearing held Oct. 29. He iriad$ the trip by air. -r- Price supports and price ceil­ ings may be necessary at times in order to encourage conserva­ tion type farming, the Greenfe county farmer asserted, but they* “ should be held in reserve until we have tried other methods.” Among these methods are the “ subsidization of adequate diets* for low income consumers and the, encouragement o f exports or sometimes o f imports o f commo­ dities in surplus or in short sup­ ply, under reciprocal trade agree­ ments.” . He declared that the farmer "cannot afford to increase pro­ duction; to bring down present ex­ cessive prices to consumers if such increase will cary us farther along the road to the ultimate breaking of our soil bank,” / “ By no standard can we afford to creatfc new dust bowls in order to decrease the present price, o f , wheat,” he told the committee! He advocated the elimination: SLn cash payments 't o farmers *5rF times of high prices such as at present.” Farmers should pay part of the cost o f the technical assistance, lime, fertilizers and ditching, he said, but in times of low prices “ the cost o f these items might well be included as direct grants in aid.” In addition to direct assistance program for farmers, he extolled such measures as the school lunch program and the. food stamp plan which “ asist all- our people to an adequate diet and maintain a floor under consump­ tion.” He urged revision o f the parity formula, “ to bring it up to date and make it workable,” and the continuation of crop in­ surance on an experimental basis. Among other measures advocated was a proposal to combine Under a single adminstrator the various functions of the department of agriculture within a county.

The meeting began ■ Thursday morning and will con­ tinue through Monday at the Edgewater Beach hotel. . W.CJliffNamed OnGreeneHospT BuildingBoard Four men, two Republicans and two Democrats, were named Mon­ day by Gov. Thomas J. Herbert to form a building commission fo r the Greene Memorial hospital, made possible by the overwhelm­ ing approval of a $950,000 bond issue at the Nov. 4 election. wy ’The members appointed were ‘ falter C. Iliff, Cedarville con­ t a c t o r 1! F,.Leort Spahr, an execu­ tive iff the R. A. Kelly Co., Xenia,' Dr, S, C. Ellis, Xenia physician ; and Frank Kendig, Xenia town­ ship farmer. ' Mr. Iliff and Mr. Spahr were among four persons recommend­ ed by Karlh Bull, Cedarville, chairman o f the county Repub­ lican executive committee. Only Dr. Ellis was named from the list of four submitted by George H. Smith, Xenia lawyer who heads the Democratic executive group in this county. Gov. Herbert said Monday in Columbus that Mr. Kendig is a registered Democrat and that he (the governor) did not have to abide by Mr. Smith’s list. Gov. Herbert had requested both Mr. Bull and Mr. Smith to submit recommedations last week without endorsement of their respective committees. O t h e r names on the lists were not dis­ closed. State law requires the gov-- eriior name two members from each o f the county's two major political parties within ten days after the hospital vote is certified Gov. Herbert had until the end o f this week to comply. The commissioner's duties will be to select a hospital site, deter­ mine plans for construction and award contracts for- building and equipping the memorial institu­ tion. The governor said he had not fixed a date for a meeting of the commission as he was waiting to contact the members to find a date agreeable to them. When the hospital is ready for occupancy, the commission will turn the building over to the county. In turn, county commiss­ ioners will name a bi-partisan board of four members to operate the hospital. Fire Causes No Damage at College The Cedarville fire department answered an alarm from Cedar­ ville college Monday about noon and quickly extinguished the blaze. No damage was reported from the fire which broke out in the furnace room in the basement o f the main building.

The Yellow Jacket offense fail­ ed completely as their backs floundered in the oozy going, Ashland liowever, clicked for three touchdowns, sending half­ back Pete Whitney through a gaping hole in CedaTville’s left tackle spot in the second period fo r the first one. The Eagles gave him good downfield block­ ing and the speedy half kept his footing to travel 77 yards to the Cedarville end zone. With unexpected quickness, the Eagles added a second touchdown in the, third period when Elmer KJ*us, a guard, blocked Bob Hil­ dreth’s punt after the Cedarville * loo te r had juggled the,ball be­ fore attempting to get it away on his own 25, A series o f three attempted recoveries saw the slippery, mud splattered ball eluding the would be ball coverers but finally, Captain Joe Gommisso Eagle right guard, fell ortthe pig­ skin in the Jackets’ end zone fo r a touchdown. The winners added one more tally in the final period after Ce- darville’s jmost promising threat was nullified by a penalty for' roughing the kicker. Quarter- hack Earnest (Shorty) Foster had received the punt on his own 40 and dashed down the sideline to the Ashland 9, but the play was called back. A pass play netted tbe Eqgles their final touchdown o f the game. Whitney thfew to Leo Janendo who lateralled to Clyde Hawkins. Hawkins scamp­ ered downfield 60 yards without being touched by a Jacket de- fedner. The entire play was good fo r 75 yards. Ramon McQuilJen, in the full­ back spot with Ben McNulty out of the game with an infected tooth, made a major portion o f Cedarville’s ground gaining with line bucks. Otherwise the Jackets backs were mired down by. the inches deep mud and a smashing ‘ Ashland line. The teams, covered with mud" after the first play, battled evenly with the, exception o f the break­ away scoring tlfrusts by the up- staters. Tackle Alson Scrivner and Captain Clarence (Chink) Jewell, guard the latter playing his last collegiate grid game, re­ peatedly broke into the Ashland backfield to crash Eagle runners to the ground. The winners’ scor­ ing plays however, had perfect blocking, not a Cedarville player coming close to making the tac­ kles. Center Willis Anderson, of Xenia, also a senior in his last game for Cedarville, did yeoman work in the line as did Frank Rudy, husky lineman. The game marked the end o f the Jackets’ grid campaign and left them all-even for the season with three wins, three losses and two tie games.
