W - Number 51 NAVAL MANEUVERS . . . U. S. naval maneuvers in the North Atlantic included simulated amphibious attacks on Newfoundland’s grim and rocky shores by units of the marines clad in special arctic assault gear. Here is the initiaL phase of a tactical exercise. As a mortar group hits the dirt under the watchful eye of a naval helicopter; the supporting naval vessel maintains a simulated covering fire, theoretical* ly against a heavily defended air base occupied by a major world power. The exercises were the most ex­ tensive held since World War U. TiddStops RecountAfter ThreePrecincts When the first three precincts recounted showed little change from the original tabulation, Thurman Tidd, New Jasper town­ ship farmer who was defeated as a Democratic candidate for coun­ ty commission, halted the pro­ ceedings Saturday in^the election board office at the court house.. Tidd, beaten by 86 votes, stood by as the hoard recounted Xenia precinct No. 12, Wilberforce pre­ cinct in Xenia township and the Beavercreek township middle pre­ cinct. In the three, Tidd was the only one to lose ground. Heyhad two votes less while Kobert E. Crone, -of Osborn, elected, but who faces a test suit for the post in common pleas court, filed by Ralph O. Spahr, Xenia township Republican and incumbent, gained five, Spahr, who finished fourth, was even in the three-precinct recount, but Arthur Bahns, New Jasper township Republican who was elected, picked up five more votes. The fifth candidate, Paul H. Smith, an independent, o f Yellow Springs, lost two votes. He was last in the five-man field, far be­ hind the rest. Thus the election board com­ pleted its third recount in as many days, none of the re-tabula­ tions affecting results as announ­ ced after election day, Nov. 2. Wright View’s charter surren­ der issue was confirmed as passed and the Gsfaorn-Fairfield annexa­ tion plan was approved in pre­ vious recounts. 4 HamptonShow ToBenefit CancerFund One o f America’s big-time name bands comes to Xenia Friday, Nov. 26, when the Lionel Hamp­ ton organization stages a show at Xenia Central high; field house fo r the benefit o f cancer relief. Under sponsorship o f a commit­ tee named by Mayor Elwood Smith, the performance will get under way at-8 p. m. and will in­ clude a broadcast on a nation­ wide hook-up from the stage. Tickets now are on. sale at $1.50 fo r adults and $1 fo r students. The appearance o f the nationaly known name band o f radio and screen (currently appearing in A Song Is Born) is a story in itself. Xenian Joseph E. Chamberlain submitted a question that hit the jackpot on the Mutual network give-away show. Take a Number, sponsored by the United States Tobacco company. The Chamber­ lains were showered with gifts as prize winners, including a private party fo r which Iionel Hampton was to supply the dance music. ‘ The Chamberlains, however, as­ signed their interest in the band’s appearance to a committee named by Mayor Elwood Smith, with the understanding the proceeds would be used fo r cancer relief. The fund will he administered separ­ ately from present cancer funds and all o f the proceeds will be used fo r the benefit o f cancer suf­ ferers anywhere in Greene county. Patrons o f the Hampton show, therefore, will see and hear this record-breaking musical star and his entertainers in a big-time show and will be contributing to a worthy charity at the same time. The mayor’s committee is urging generous support o f the project.

Jeff,Indians Win;Vikings DropGames Three Greene county high school cage teains registered wins over loon rivals. Friday night, and . two other county teams homped over non-league opponents. In the all-county contests, Bow- ersville Jefferson squeezed by Ross, 51-49, Bellbrook beat Jam­ estown Silverereek, 45-41, and Ce­ darville handed Yellow Springs Bryan a 40-26 trouncing. Lifting the lid on its cage sea­ son with a bang, Beavercreek took Genterville into camp, 56-47, and Spring Valley walked away from Harveysburg, 63-33. Biggest surprise to county cage fans was Jefferson’s 51-49 tri­ umph over Ross on the loser’s court.. A former Ross eager him­ self, Jeff, Conner Merritt's quin­ tet notched its first victory against a circuit opponent and made it three- victories in four' starts. The Little Reds piled up a lead in the first three quarters, only to « watch it fade in the fourth period as the Ross five came to life and racked up 21 points. Jeff tallied 15 in the first period. 14 in the second and 11 in the third quar­ ter to 10 points in the first, 12 in the second and 6 in the third for Ross. Hit hard ■by player losses showed in the final period and through excessive fouls, Jeff tallied only 11 points, while the Ross Panthers scored 21. Pacing the Little Reds were forward Dale Shadley with 21 and; guard Ned Talbott with 14. The Jeff reserves won 28-14. Cedarville’s 40-26 victory over a visiting Bryan quintet gave the Indians two victories in three starts and made it one for three fo r the Bryan five. Cedarville dropped in 10 points in 'th e first period to take a 3 point lead and was never headed. The Indians tallied 6 in the third and 11 more in the final stanza, while the Bryan five dumped in ? in the second canto and 6 each in the last two periods. Forward Bill Heidom and cen­ ter Paul Vest led the victors with 14 and 17 points, respectively. Th§ Cedarville reserves eked "olit a.~ close 26-25 win»_ Just out o f a sick-bed, center Ed Brill stole the shovrin.ibe Sil-* vercreek-Bellbrook fray .at Jam- ' estown, scoring 18 of the 40 points' made by the losers. Guard Don Bartley led his Bellbrook team­ mates with 14 points of the 45 tal­ lied by the Eagles. After Bellbrook took a one point lead in the initial period, Silver- creek came back to tie the tally at 23-all in the second and both quintets chalked up 11 in the third frame to keep the score knotted at 34 going into the fourth quarter. Taking command of the situation, the Eagles broke the deadlock in the final period and hit the. net fo r i f while the Vikings tallied only 7 points. The Bellbrook re­ serves won, 41-37. The victory was Bellbrook’s JacketsOpen CageSeason WithVictory The Cedarville college Yellow Jackets opened their 1948-49 l*as- ketball season, Tuesday night, at' Alford Memorial gym, where they left off last season—beating Bliss college, o f Columbus. The count in the opener was 58-47. Jumping to an early lead, the Jackets built up a substantial margin and were out in front at the end o f the first half by 30-20. Bliss made more o f a ball game o f it in the second half, cutting into the Jacket’s lead on several occasion, but the locals were able to build it back up. The Jackets will not play on their home court again until they face Villa Madona, o f Covington, Ky., here on Dec. 11, but in the meantime, they will show at Morehead State Teachers’ college, this Saturday, at the University o f Dayton on Dec. 1, at the Uni­ versity o f Cincinnati on Dec. 3, and at Javier on Dec. 4.

In the decades following that proclamation, our country has grown rapidly and experienced many changes along thelines of industrial, governmental, cultural and spiritual growth. In, spite of the long lapse of time,, the Thanksgiving obser­ vance <■ today embodies the same significance as when the Pilgrims held their first Thanksgiving. Al­ though the world is in a state1of turmoil at this Thanksgiving time, we ''Americans still have much to be thankful for,—as did the early colonists. . . . Junior Assembly Some of our assemblies, are planned this year by homeroom classes. The'juniors took their turn, Monday, presenting a pro­ gram based on Thanksgiving. Dick Williamson, president of the junior class, served as chair­ man, and the program numbers were as follows: Thanksgiving Story, Margaret Swaney; Origin o f Songs, Don Chesnnt; Prayer, Viola Ferguson; Scripture, Roger Collins^ , Anne Huffman was our pianist, and she played several songs ap­ propriate for Thanksgiving, and also one o f our favorite songs around Christmas, Pm I)reaming . of a White Christmas. Eleanor Sparrow also accompanied the student body with our school song- in closing. . . . •Junior Play To Be Given We Shook- the Family Tree.

The Indians displayed, their scoring ability when they started - ripping the nets with the ball from any position on the floor. Our players retrieved the ball from the Bryan boys on almost every tip-off, and they snagged several of their passes and. drib­ bled down the floor for a basket and 2 points. The opening game was very ex­ citing all the way through when the reserves eked out a 26 to 25 mhrgin over their opponents. This makes the third straight win without a defeat for the Indian reserves. Hats* Off! Our two high-point men of the Bryan vs. Cedarville game have - been selected for an interview this week.’ * Scoring seventeen points- in the game’ w a s . seventeen-year-old HighlandJudge ToHear.Vote CaseinCourt Dec. 10 has tentatively been set for Judge' George W. McDowell, Highland county judge, fop a hearing in common pleas court for the test suit filed by County Com­ missioner Ralph O. Spahr, Xenia township Republican, who claims that federally-owned- Skyway Park’s voting precinct is* illegal and that, therefore, he was’ leg­ ally re-elected, instead of defeat­ ed, at the Nov. 2 election. One of 'the most interesting le­ gal developments ever posed on the political scene in Greene coun­ ty, Spahr’s suit is directed at the two Democrats, who opposed him and Arthur Bahns, New Jasper township Republican. One of the Democrats, Robert E. Crone, Osborn, mayor, and Bahns were elected. Thurman Tidd, New Jasper township, the other Democrat, was third and Spahr a close fourth in, a tight four-way race for the two seats. I f the Bath township precinct is invalidated, the outcome would be in favor of both Republicans, giv­ ing Bahns the top spot oh the ticket apparently won after the official tabulation by Crone, and -placing Spahr second. By throw­ ing out the more than 700 Sky­ way Park votes cast in the race, , -the two Democrats would be de­ feated since they gained heavy support there. bpahr, who is commission presi­ dent, claims the precinct is ille­ gal because it is the equivalent of a federal reservation, that resi­ dents there are not county resi­ dents and therefore are ineligible to vote under the state constitu­ tion. Meanwhile, Prosecutor Marcus Shoup, on whose advice the elec­ tion board allowed Skyway Park residents to vote in the May pri­ mary and again earlier this month, said he had received no word from the federal department of justice, the state or federal at­ torney general or governor on aqy change of status, relating to the, rights of those people to vote, re­ gardless of claims being made.' Shoup said he had contacted Eugene Mayl, Dayton, an attorney for the U. S. department of justice in the matter and that Mayl had told him there was no change whatsoever, to my knowledge in the -Skyway. Park situation. Mayl added, Shoup' said, that; he felt" certain such a change would be brought to his attention. The prosecutor, who gave an •opinion to the election board in' 1944 and 'again in April-of this year, that Skyway Park residents could vote, said his right in crim- inal'Tnatters there had not been disputed. In his opinion, the only change in voters’ status in Skyway Park, purchased under provisions of the Lanham act, would come when the area is designated as an ex­ clusive military reservation. Nothing whatsoever has been done, so far as I can learn, Shoup said, since my ruling given before the May election. BorstNamed ToClarkCo. SchoolPost R. M.

S. Commissioner Charles W. Ozias In Dayton, Thursday, on a charge o f failing to register fo r the draft. Pleading guilty, Somers was release.d on bond posted by Dr. J. Edward Herscliberger, 713 West Third street. Dayton. The youth was ordered to appear at a heai*- ing, Tuesday, in Chicago, where he failed to register during sum­ mer employment. Two special agents of the FBI arrested Somers, Wednesday, at Yellow Springs. He identified himself as sjpember«of the Peace­ makers, an organization which he says is composed o f pacifists pledged to disobey selective serv­ ice laws. Explaining his deliberate fail­ ure to register, Somers declared I would be indirectly accepting the draft to which I am so strong­ ly opposed. He said three was a substan­ tial number o f persons in the Peacemakers, but he knew only three others who were Antioch students: Local Board No. 47, for Xenia, and Green county, previously had been confronted with the case o f two self-announced draft evaders. One, Donald J. Stoops, 24, o f near Yellow Springs, changed his mind, however, and registered several weeks late when the board al­ lowed him to do so. The othei' Dafid Orcutt, 25, Yellow Springs, also a member o f the Peacemakers, refused to reg­ ister and took* part in demonstra­ tions at the time in Columbus and Xenia. Local draft officials said Or- entt’s case has been referred-to* - state selective service headquar­ ters and, in turn, may he relayed to the federal district attorney fo r prosecution. The bond posted for Somers by Dr. Herschberger, was arranged by Robert Swann, o f Yellow Springs, another Peacemaker, who went to Dayton after Somers’ ar­ rest. Horace Ghampney, another Peacemaker from fellow Springs, described the organization in this way: ^ We have' no head offices and no officers. We operate as a democratic organization with a rotating chairmanship.
