After dropping the opener to Ohio Northern’s Polar Bears at Xenia by a ■count of 26-0, they met Georgetown college at Osborn high school field last night (Thursday) in a game that was played after Herald press time. Next Friday night’s contest will mark the first appearance of the northern Ohio team on the lo­ cal gridiron since the Jackets re­ sumed the moleskin sport in the fall of 1946, but will be the second meeting of the two teams after that date. Last fall, the locals furnished the opposition fo r the Eagles' homecoming and bowed to the home team in the mud 19-0. Coach George Donges will send a veteran team against the locals next Friday. Mendell E. Beattie, Jacket head football coach, and his assistant, Don Barger, have the locals in good condition and, barring in­ juries in the Georgetown contest last night, should be at full strength for th Ashland game, with the exception of the guard and center positions where injur­ ies have plagued the Jackets. WarnTruckers OfBridge WeightLimit Commerical truckers have been warned that the 20 wooded brid­ ges still standing in Greene coun­ ty were never designed to carry present-day loads and that con­ tinued violation by trucking firms will result in prosecution. Frederick It. Lemcke, county engineer, who issued the warn­ ing along with county commis­ sioners, cited the collapse of a covered bridge over Caesar’s creek at Lydia Smith corner on t h e N e w Jasper-Paintersville road last Thursday as an ex­ ample o f truckers exceeding load limits. A Port William Milling com­ pany truck loaded with about six tons o f fertilizer attempted to cross the old five-ton-limit bridge when it fell into the stream. The driver escaped injury. No charges have been filed in the case. “ The old covered bridges,” Lem­ cke said, “were designed for 6 ton loads CO to 80 years ago. It’s common sense that they can’t take when built many years back, more now than designed for “ We realize the bridges are not up to the standards of present- day traffic but all bridges are posted. Violation o f this state law is a $25 fine for the first offense and $100 for each addi­ tional violation. And the offender is liable for any damages to the bridge. “None of these Dridges is safe for a total gross weight—truck, driver, load and all—of more than five or six tons. Truckers should be warned of this fact although the bridges are posted. “ In order to replace all exist­ ing covered bridges in the county we would need a half to three- quarters o f a million dollars. The present bridge levy affords us $55,000 a year.” Register3128 In2ndPeace- TimeDraft The unofficial total of prospec­ tive draftees in Greene county was exactly 100 shy o f the esti­ mate o f eligibles made at the start o f the registration period by state selective service officials. One hundred and two 18-year- olds and older youths signed up with the board at the court house Saturday, hiking the overall total to 3,228 in the 18-through-25 draft bracket in, the county. Meanwhile, Mrs. Elizabeth Hur­ ley, Xenia, clerk o f the board, dis­ closed classification of the youths had begun with particular atten­ tion, being given 25-year-olds to fill a four-man quota given the board fo r November.

The re­ made farm there has complin! with all predictions o f its in r e v - ed usefulness, he asserted, being currently worth nearly ten times as much as it was prior to the 1947 demonstration. A drive by the farm will amaze those who saw it before the conservation team began to work on it, he stated.
