A . Tyson, of London, presi­ dent of the Ohio Tubular Products company of that city, and owner o f an S3-acre tract of land at the western edge of Cedarville, filed suit Saturday, in common pleas court against the village of Ce­ darville for an injunction and damages totaling $18,Phi. Tyson, represented by Slioup and Kagler, Xenia, and Kiefer, Waterworth. Hunter and Werner, Cleveland, accuses the village of ignoring his rights to halt the use o f an open sluice running across his land for disposal of sewage. Citing three causes for aetion, the petition, asks the court for an injunction to stop the village from continuing to use the open sluice for sewage disposal. Tyson claims that under an agreement dated Jan, 21, 1930, between the village and his predecessor as owner of the land, site of tire former Hag­ ai? Stvawbourd and Paper com­ pany, the use o f the sluice by Ce­ darville could be terminated upon one year’s notice. He claims sew­ age disposal by means of the sluice should have ceased March 12, 1943. He asks a restrainer against continuing use pf his property in such a manner. Tyson asks $1,935 damages caused by seepage from the sluice which damaged a fire sprinkler system used in buildings on the property. Under the agreement the village was to maintain the sluice but Tyson charges seepage damage and sluice repairs have cost him $1,935. The third basis o f the petition is that the land, otherwise good fo r grazing cattle and other live­ stock, has been made unsuitable by the sluice contamination and that some animals have become ill and died from this source. His request fo r damages of additional $16,500 is based on an assump­ tion that he has lost an annual profit o f $3,000 over the years by loss o f the grazing land. The petition, in addition, makes a re­ quest fo r continuing damages at the rate of $250 a monthfor each additional month the alleged tres- ! >assing is continued by the vil- age.

FLOAT WINS The Golden Rule class o f the Methodist church won the $15.00 first prize fo r the most comic float in the Jamestown Hallowe’en parade. JacketsScore124 SaturdayNight , A long pass play from Jim i Wagner to Leo (Bud) Shaugh­ nessy in the opening minutes of the sceond half, accounted for the C-point margin by which the Yel­ low Jackets, o f Cedarville college, downed the Wilmington college Quakers before a Dad’s night . crowd of 2,000 at Wilmington high school Alumni field, Sqtur- ; il.ty night, 12-6. ' ; Early in the second quarter, the Quakers punched over the first score o f the evening, when Half- hack Bill Crawford raced 20 yards as the elimax to a 56-yard march. After* the following kickoff and an exchange of punts, the home team started rolling again, but the Jacket defense stiffened on its own 26 and held for downs. Then the Jackets had some scor­ ing ideas of their own and evened the count. Ray McQuillan tossed to Herb Hood for IS and then raced 37 yards to the Quaker 17 on a naked leverse that caught Wilmington flat footed. On the next play, the home team was assessed 15 yards for unnecessary x-oughness to the 1. Warner was inches short on a quarterback sneak and Billips counted on the followi.Hr play off Vickie. Hildreth’s attempt for the extra point was low. The Jackets took the opening . kickoff of the second half and marched 65 yards to score the I winning touchdown in just four . plays. McQuillan ran the kickoff back to his own 35 and three running nlays made it a first down on the 46. On the next play, Wagner faded way back and tossed a long, long__* pass intended fo r Hddff oh the"' Quaker 20. Joo Baugh batted the ball away from Hood, but Shaughitessy gathered it in-on the dead run at the 25 and streaked the remaining yardage down the sideline, outdistanefig a pair of Wilmington hacks. Hildreth’s kick was again low. As far as the scoring was con­ cerned, the game ended right then, but there were plenty o f thrills left. Each team had a break after that, hut neither could capitalize Op them, Although the home team was able to go for* fairly consistent yardage on the ground, its scor­ ing punch was taken away by the alert Jacket backs on pass de­ fense. The Jackets completely bottled up Ron Millar, Quaker end, who Was the nation’s leading pass re­ ceiver at the end o f the previous week’s play. Against the Jackets in the flat for 7 yards and the he was able only to catch one pass home team’s only completion in 14 attempts. The locals intercepted four of the Wilmington aerials, all coming at opportune moments to break up scoring threats. The Jackets completely domin­ ated the ball in the second half and although they were outgained 172 to 69 yards on the ground, the locals had a decided advantage in the passing, 102 to 7. One o f the determining factors late in the fourth quarter came when the locals were deep into the end zone, giving the locals a new life with a touclrback and posses­ sion on the 20.

Its charter was granted May 22, 1948, at an installation banquet attended also by Pres. Vayhinger and Profes­ sors Steele, Edington, Shaw and Beattie. Officers now serving the organization are Jay Check, Lew- istown, Pa., president; Park King, Carlisle, Pa., vice president; Nor­ man Potts, South Webster, secre­ tary; Arthur Lewis, South Web­ ster, treasurer; and James Ross, South Webster, sergeant at arms. Prof. Mendell E. Beattie is the faculty advisor. The local chapter meets each Monday night in the college re­ creation hall. Plans fo r a social room and later, a home, are now in progress. The meetings in­ clude business and social periods. The first of a group of outstand­ ing speakers who will address the chapter is the Rev. Harold Myers, Jr., prominent Springfield minis­ ter, who Will speak November 15. Kappa Sigma Kappa was found­ ed September, 1867, at Virginia Military Institute by four cadets. During the first period of growth, until 1886, expansion was confined chiefly to southern colleges. From 1935 until Pearl Harbor, expan­ sion was rapid. With the return of many members from World War II, the various chapters have begun to grow, and many new chapters have been established. The success enjoyed to date in the desirable fraternity schools indi­ cates that Kappa Sigma Kappa will have twenty or thirty chap­ ters in a few years. The frater­ nity is listed in Baird’s M.Viual among men’s social fraternities and plans eventually to become a member of the National Interfra­ ternity Conference. The Cedarville chapter, Ohio Epsilon, will initiate pledges on December 13, including James Dunn, Winchester; John Blazer, Rio Grande; Henry Beattie, Ce­ darville; John Stewart, Cedar­ ville; Garl Wiseman, Cedarville; Rollie Barton, Hamilton; John Hawker, Trebein; William Cun- ingham. Portsmouth; Leo Shaugh­ nessy, Akron; and Robert Kitting, Belleville, Pa. The badge of Kappa Sigma Kappa is a Greek cross, the center of which is a eirculaivdisk bearing the three letters. It is one of the most attractive designs worn by college fraternity members. The local chapter is grateful to the patrons of its refreshment Stand at the homecoming game.

Repre­ senting the Republican point o f view were Pres. Ira D. Vayhinger and Myers Bost, Springfield. The cause of the Democrats was championed by Prof. Mendell E. Although Greene county didn’t go along with the Truman stveep, it did definitely show the nation­ wide Democratic trend by backing former Gov. Frank J. Lausche, electing one Democratic county commissioner, the prosecuting attorney and sheriff. ’ The unofficial returns showed that the county backed Gov. Dew­ ey 9,18$ to Truman’s 8,970; gave Lausche 9,369 to Herbert’s 9,219. With two county commissioners to be elected, R. E. Crone, Demo­ crat, led the four candidates with 8,763, Arthur Bahiis, Republican, followed with 8,529, while Thur­ man Tidd, Democrat, was in third positifa by a scant 12 votes over incumbent Republican, Ralph O. Spahr 8,444 to .8,432. George R. Smith, Jamestown and Xenia attorney, Democrat, took the prosecuting attorney post by beating Philip Aultman, Republican, 9,275 to 8,473. George P. .Henkel, former sher­ iff, Democrat, polled the most votes in any.gpntest on the ballot in ousting incumbent Republican Sheriff Walton Spahr 10,584 to 7,657. Ernest D. Beatty, incumbent Republican recorder, was returned to that office over Harold W. Bay- nard by teh narrow margin of 8,695 to 8,669. Earl Gerard, Democratic candi­ date for treasurer from James­ town, lost to the Republican in­ cumbent, Harold J. Fawcett, 9,044 to 8,678. On the rest of the state ticket, with the exception of the govern­ or, the county was Republican with the exception of State Audit­ or Joseph T. Ferguson.
