COPY ____ 5c Number 8 GREENLAND’S ICECAP IS JUST A MEMORY . . . Instead.of having to use an icecap after New Year’s eve to counteract an overdose of wassail, this happy group had'to get used to living on an icecap during the Christmas holidays. They are some of the rescued men and some of the rescuers who snatched them from a frigid icecap in Greenland after they had roosted there for 19 miserable days. In the group is Lt. Col. remil Beaudxy, (second row, right, with his arm around his wife), the pilot of the rescue ski-jet plane which made the daring and successful effort to remove the .stranded airmen from their glacial surroundings. On the School Scene n by Vera Thurdse Rain, Rain, go away Come again some other day. This jingle summarizes the general feeling of both faculty and students. Even the school buses voiced their objection to the rain by refusing to start Monday morning. This gave some o f the township pupils a short session of forenoon classes because many o f them did not arrive at the school house until the close o f the first period. However, late, 'morning found the students and teachers back in their regular routine. . . . Sophomores Present Chapel Program Monday afternoon the assem­ bly program was held with the sophomores .taking charge. Paula Turner, as chairman, announced the numbers. CJlenna Nancfe presented a piano solo, Valse Caurice. Janet Cru«iine then sang, Cavissima. She was accompanied by (Hen­ na Nance. Ave Marie and Always were played beautifully by Joan Sheely on her marimba. The girls’ ensemble entertain­ ed us with three selections: Memory, Song of Spring and Mozart’s Alphabet. Shirley Pow­ ers accompanied them. A one-act comedy, entitled, Charge it, Please, followed the musical numbers. The plot ill­ ustrated the dilemma in which the members o f a modern-day family found themselves, after they made too frequent use of credit privileges. Sophomores taking parts in the play were: Ted Logan, the distracted father, Kent William­ son; Florence Logan, his pretty but scatterbrained wife, Shirley Powers; Jimmy Logan, the six­ teen year old son, Bobby Boase; year* old daughter, Mary Jo Du­ vall; Helen Logan, her eighteen year eld sister, Corena Wiseman; Myrtle, the family maid, Janet Gordon; and Harold Drexel, the young accountant who conies to the rescue of the family, Don Baldwin. All students participating in the program are deserving of mention, as the whole program was enjoyed immensely by the student body. Miss Mallow home - room teacher fo r the sophomore class, had charge o f the program and directed the play. Later in the afternoon the pro­ gram was repeated for the grade children. . . . " Indians Trample Over Stubborn J e ff Boys Last Friday evening the Ind­ ians chalked up another victory, resulting in their fourth league win in as many tries. The Jeff hoys were a bit stubborn in the first half o f the game, but the Indians soon showed them that this Wouldn’t do, and we came put op top in the last quarter with a score o f 39-33. F ife took high-scoring honors o f the game, with a total o f 16 counters; Vept was second with IQ; and Cultice was next, with 6 points. The Reserves won their ninth game out o f eleven tries. This was an interesting game, The final score being 29-13, Po& Turner, big Reserve cen­ ter, was high man,-with a total o f eight points; and Stewart was next witn seven counters. Friday night, January 28, the Indian tribe travels to Jamestown to compete fo r their fourth lea- Kue victory. The following night, Saturday they will journey out o f the county fo r a game with £©ndon. A Junior, Donald Edward Turner, was high-point man in Friday night's game with Jeffer­ son. The 6’ 1-2 ” center had 8 points to his credit. (Ccngrat- * 'ions, Don!)

Requiem mass was sung at St, Getting Around Cedarville Where were you last Sunday morning at 11 a. ivu? You are not on trial so please read on. If you were not in the church o f your particular faith last Sab­ bath then these remarks are principally addressd to you, Ce­ darville is fortunate again, in that it has an adequate number o f fine churches. So that our churches can exist and serve the spiritual needs of Cedarville. They need the support of the citizens o f the community. This support, that we speak o f in­ cludes our attendance at worship services our financial contribu­ tions and most important our earnest prayers. It Is true that there are times that unforeseen circumstances rightfully keep us from attending God’s lioijse on the Sabbath but if we are not careful we tend to lapse into the lad habit o f finding petty ex­ cuses for staying away from the Sunday s: mec.:. The church'also urge ntly needs our money so that operational expenses can be met along with the furthering o f such very worthy church programs as io n ign and home missions, Chris­ tian education ami youth work. Finally the church needs the sup­ port and stamina which comes fuun earnest prayer. Churches play an important part in mak­ ing a community a desirable, place in which to live and raise a family*. In all probability*, there are many folks who chose to make their home in Cedarville because it, was blessed with a number o f fine churches and yet those same folks probably* never enter any* o f the community’s churches on the Sabbath. If our churches were suddenly* taken out lize the wholesome spiritual eon- o f Cedarville we would fully vea- tribution that they make to our community. Lets plan to w'orship God in liis house this Sabbath morning. . . . . Basketball is king at the pres­ ent time as far aa our sports inteiests are concerned. .Most any evening the lights burn long and late up on the hill at Alford Memorial Gymnasium, the bas­ ketball center o f Cedarville. Coach Clyde Walker’s Cedarville High School Indians hold an im­ pressive position at the present time in the Greene County High School League standing’s.* Wal­ ker’s charges have garnered some outstanding victories over league opponents thus far this seasou. Coach Mendel Beattie's * Cedar­ ville College Yellow jackets have fared better on the road than on tlieir own stamping ground. Impressive victories have includ- ed_ such victims as Georgetown, (Ky.), Huntington (Ind.), Rose Poly* (Ind.) and Villa Madonna (Ky.). Important games* yet to be played by the Yellow jackets include Wilmington and Wilber- force State which are nearby ri­ vals. The tempo of basketball in­ terest will increase to 'a high degree with tire coming o f high school and college tournaments. It is always good to win but sometimes extremely hard ' to lose. With a loss we are tempted to criticize either the players or the coach. In most cases the folks who criticize most have the poor­ est qualifications for such criti­ cism. Wouldn't it be much better fo r us as fans to recognize the fact that basketball like life has its wins and losses. When we learn to accept victory and de­ feat with the proper attitude, then and then only do we lay claim to true sportsmanship. Are you a radio fan? I f you are, liow do you survive the sing­ ing radio commercials? Even though we are annoyed with them these little jingles put to. music are catchy enough to stick in our minds. Housewives are singing, about Duz while doing the fam­ ily dishes while the kid on the street hums the Pesi Cola song. The advertisers who get up such jingles are using a set .of known principles of psychology. It seems to be paying o ff because more Continued On Page Three Jamestown Women j Injured in Crash Two Jamestown, women suf­ fered minor injuries TuesdagP- morning when the auto ’in which they were riding was struck by a truck at the entrance of Silver-' creek high school on Route 72, * near Jamestown, sheriff's depii- ties reported. , t Occupants o f the car were the ’ driver, Mrs. Lawson Reid, and.

Brotherhood HoldMeeting InXenia Sixty members oi the Greene .' and Fayette Brotherhood o f the Methodist church, attended the meeting held in Trinity Methodist Church at Xenia, last Monday * evening. Wilbur Beard, Bowers- ville is president o f the group, Rev. Harvey Hahn, o f the Evangelical United Brethern church in Dayton, was the speak­ er, and his subject was “ Out­ grown joys,” He said in part: “We have outgrown our homes and have lost the art o f living to­ gether. We have too many broken homes. We are too soft spoken against sin. We need to strongly condemn immoral home wreckers. Ministers should stand together against commonly remarrying divorced people, “We have outgrown God, and we have too many scientific skeptics teaching our children, There is too much neglect of the church. Men must start carrying llio cl - qss . Jesus started a brother-., hood but we have turned things over to the women.” ,IIe warned of the danger of Communism and said that the with self. District -Supt. Dr. George B. Parkin offered remarks o f ap­ preciation, and pronounced the benediction, Indians Down Jeff;Face VikesTonight Cedarville high school’s In­ dians remained in a tie fo r the Greene county league lead last Friday night as they won over Jefferson by a 39-33 count. The Indians took a 11-8 lead at the end of the opening quarter and were out in front at the half 18-16 and at the end o f the third period 26-25 but poured it on in the final canto to win going a- way. Bill Fife was the big gun in the Indian attack splitting the nets for a total of 16 markers, Tonight (Friday) the locals travel to Jamestown. In other league games last Friday Bellbrook edged Silver- creek 48-45, Ross lost to Bryan 53-43 and Spring Valley held on­ to their shave of the league lead by beating Beaver 42-36.

The locals took a ’57-51 de­ cision over Huntington on the Indiana team’s home count on Saturday night and then Wednes­ day won from Bluffton at Alford Memorial gym in a double over­ time affair 74-72, The Jackets trailed Hunting- ton 30-22 at the half, but poured it on in the final minutes for their victory. Against Bluffton, the Jackets took an early lead but the visit­ ors pulled up and went ahead just as the half ended 24-23. At the Start of the second half the^ Jackets went back into the lead_^ and were never headed, but just as the final buzzer sounded a Bluffton "long shot connected to make it a tie game at 62. The jackets went to**the front again in file first overtime only to see it tied again when the five minutes were up at 68. On Thursday night the Jackets entertained the Wilmington Quakers. Next Week will see the locals play three ball games on their home court. On Monday night Morehead, Wednesday it will be Wilberforce State and on Sat­ urday Tiffin will be the visitors. Saturday’s game also will be the climax of the winter homecoming at the north enckinstitution. ‘ On Tuesday, Feb. 15 the Jack­ ets will play a benefit game on the local court with Huntington boost the grand total nearly $161- 000 over 1948 figures. The total allocation for the . county last year was $770,505.58. However, figures certified by the county budget commission show anticipated revenues of $1- 101,895.53 this year. This .comes from a balance of $296,029.38 in all funds at the end of last year, $309,567 from general prop­ erty tax, $9,000 from classified property tax and $487,299.15 from all other sources. The general fund balance of $85,857 showing is not a true surplus, county Auditor James J. Curlett explained, pointing out that certain contracts are out- standing against that figure. However, the 1949 appropriations take this into consideration. His yeavend financial report will be available in March. Higher salaries for office­ holders beginning new elective terms approved by the state leg­ islature, are reflected in the in­ dividual departmental budgets a- lotted from the general fund. But a big item in the motor vehicle and gasoline tax fund ' is the $42,000 additional ear­ marked for road maintenance and repair. This yeaf $282,700 will be available for this purpose against $240,700 in ’48. In all, the fund’s total will call for $331,- 425 against $280,750 a year ago. The county bridge fund, $79- 990 in 1948, calls for $102,000 this year; $66,150 is set aside for bond retirement on the Greene county memorial hospital an item which did not appear in 1948 allocations; poor relief is given $44,700 this year against $25,000 last; veterans housing, however is down from $4,500 to $3,860 this year.

FarmersMayNow Signfor 1949 ACProgram Joseph B, 'Mason, chairman of the Greene County Agricultural Conservation committee, said to­ day that farmers o f the county can now sign-up to participate in the 1949 Agricultural Conserva­ tion Program- The chairman ad­ vises than an increase in funds has been authorized for the 1949 program, and a material increase in conservation work is Expected. The program is open to all farmers of the county. Farmers can come to the county AGP of­ fice at 208 E. Main Street, Xenia, Ohio and one committeemen or some authorized pe.rsqp will help fill out Conservation Plans fo r the coming season, Mr, Mason urged farmers to consider their conservation needs carefully and to make their plans accordingly. It •will continue to be the policy of the county com­ mittee, the chairman states to concentrate on the most needed conservation practices.' Mr. Mason pointed out that quite a combination of conserva­ tion practices is needed to ac­ complish the greatest amount of conservation. Terraces often must be accompanied by sodded water outlets. The use o f lime and phos­ phate usually give the greatest return in conservation when used m connection with the growing of legumes and grasses. Farmers’ plans ime set un and soil build­ ing practices are approved to in­ clude a conservation program lasting over a period of several years. Already sixty two Greene county farmers have filed Farm Plans for the 1949 Agricultural Conservation Program. In cooperating in the Agricul­ tural Conservation Program the chairman explains, farmers are working with the rest of the ( people in protecting soil and water *resources. In this they have a responsibility to the country to give value received for the assis­ tance given in carrying out con­ servation practices. That assis-' tance is given, he explains, be­ cause this has been found t0> be secuting attorney, $6,822.50; board of revision, $200; bureau of inspection, $3,000; other ex­ ecutive offices, $100; court of appeals, $75; common pleas court $11,525.80; juvenile court, $9-* 442.12; probate court, $12,655; clerk of courts, $13,227.50; coro­ ner $8[22.96; justice’s, mayojrs and municipal ' courts, $500; board of elections, $14,340; Court House and jail -mainte­ nance, $26,705; sheriff, $30,872.- 50;recorder, $11,380; agriculture, $11,750; tuberculosis hospitali­ zation and care, $10,800; regist­ rar of vital statistics, $298; oth­ er health, $4,145; county home, $37,600; aid to dependent child­ ren, $9,476.50; soldiers’ relief, $9,810; charity, $1,500; work- house, $500; ditch control, $5,- 500; -engineer, $7,970; premiums on officials’ bonds, $1,000; in­ surance, $6,100; county portion for pension retirement, $6,000; (county qhare), $1,400; (taxes, $258.50; miscellaneous, $100; unanticipated emergencies, $16- 350.48.

RedGrosSets Quotafor1949 k t m , m Gr6ene County's goal’ in tlie 1949 Red Cross fund drive has been set at $16,394. The quota for the March campaign was dis­ closed at a meeting of the board of directors of the Greene county chapter at the home o f Miss Katharine Smith, executive di­ rector, in Xenia, last Thursday evening. The goal, considerably less than the $22,500 set last year, reflects a $15,000,000 drop in the national goal. This year's nation­ al figure is $60,000,000. Roy Hersey, Columbus state field representative for the Nat­ ional Red Cross, was a guest at the' meeting. Charles Carroll, Greene county campaign chair­ man, spoke briefly on the need for whole-hearted public coop­ eration.
