Yo-AgStudents FindProduction CostsHigher "It's costing more to produce farm products which in turn are selling for lower prices.” That's the opinion of vocational agri­ culture students at Cedarville High School who are just com­ pleting financial summaries of * their last years farming pro­ grams. J. R. Harner, teacher of vocational agriculture at Cedar­ ville says that in spite of some changes in the economic picture that his students still found farm­ ing profitable this year. Harner says that a total o f 20 students completed financial summaries on 60 farm projects which were in operation during the past year. Typical o f the farm operations of this group of Future Farmers is the program of Robert William­ son. Bob is 18 years o f age and a senior in high school. He lives with his parnts Mr. and Mrs. Ray­ mond Williamson at Cedarville. Robert is learning to farm by farming as he operates the fol­ lowing projects which make up his farm program. Along with awning their pro­ jects, doing as much o f the work required as possible and in .most cases receiving a sizeable profit Teach boy keeps an accurate cost account record of each qf nis farm projects. Typical of the findings made as the boys sum­ marized their records are those .listed below. Dick Williamqon who produced 1755 pounds o f pork per sow had the most prof­ itable sow and litter project. Highest corn yield reported was a yield o f 85 bushels per acre produced by Roger Collins. A - mong the poultry producers James Luttrell had the lowest cost o f production per dozen eggs. Getting Around Cedarville The Cedarville college Yellow Jackets brought their season rec­ ord up to the .500 mark last Thursday night by beatipg their neighboring arch-rivals, the Wil- college Quakers, 50-46, but fell below that mark again Monday night as Morehead's heighth showed too much in the last half 64-59. Both games were played at Alford Memorial gym. Walt Blateric and John Towns- ley led the way fo r the Jackets against the Quakers with 15 and 14 respectively. Both teams tal­ lied the same number of times from the floor but the locals won the game at the foul line. Against Morehead State Teach­ ers college Monday night, the Jackets outpointed the Kentuck­ ians from the floor 23 to 21 "but Ilost, out at. the foul line when the visitors dumped in 22-,to Cedar- ville’s 13. Or. Saturday night the Jackets will face Tiffin university at Al­ ford Memorial gym as the climax to the winter homecoming at the north end institution.

Monday, was sent to Miami Valley hospital, Dayton following emergency treatment in Xenia. The sheriff's office said the Cincinnatian, taken to the of­ fice of Dr. S. C. Ellis, Xenia, fo r treatment, was alone in. the car. A passing motorist, who picked up the injured driver, reported the car had *un into a ditch and overturned. Dr. Ellis said the man had a severe back injury and possible internal injuries. FormerCounty Commissioner DiesThursday Chester A. Jacobs, 79, .former Greene •county commissioner, died suddenly of a heart attack on his farm on- Route 35 west of Ti-ebein, Thursday at 3 p. m. Born in Springfield, he had re­ sided in Beavercreek township more than 50 years. He. served as a county commissioner from 1926 to 1934 and was active in farm organizations. He was a member of the Qreepe County Farm Bureau and was a deacon in the Beaver Evangelical and Re­ formed church. Funeral services were held at the home Monday at 1:30 p . m . This younger generation is go­ ing to the dogs, How many times have we hoard this FALSE ac­ cusation. Older generations have been saying this fo r 'hundreds o f years pnd to date each suc­ ceeding generation has far sur­ passed its forbearers. In order that these future leaders may have all the training and recre­ ational opportunities Cedarville has provided a fine school and a takes care of the educational needs of our future citizens and the latter takes care of the sum­ mer time, playtime -needs o f both the children and adults. The ex­ cellency of our park ar/l its fac­ ilities attest to the farsighted­ ness o f Ce.darville’s citizfcnsry- What about recreational needs o f our children during the school terms? The need of children fo r recreation doesn’t suddenly stop with the beginning of school. We need a wholesome recreational program fo r our future citizens the year around. It is very poss­ ible to have such a wintertime program here in Cedarville, prob­ ably more possible than in most communities the size of ours be­ cause of the availability of fac­ ilities and leadership. Interest runs high in basketball at all ages during the winter months. It might be well to start with this activity. We have two gyms in town which certainly should be adequate for our town. Lead­ ership pan be found among 'die large number of college students who are mlnoving in physical cd- Experience in such a recreation­ al program as outlined above would prove to be excellent prac­ tical training for the prospective teachers at the college. The pro­ gram might include adult act­ ivities such as volley ball and other sports. Spearheaded by the right person, this recreational program might turn from the paper and talking stage to ‘a reality in Cedarville , . . . . Looking over our town one can pick out much musical tal­ ent. The only outlet fo r such tal­ ent at present exists in our churches with their choirs and solo work which certainly is worthwhile. Wouldn’t it be fine if we in Cedarville might organ­ ize a mixed choral group which might meet and practice once a week or less frequently with a public concert as the crowning achievement in the spring. Much pleasure would be derived from such an activity by both the Sing­ ers and listeners. Choral groups Avhich have become quite famous started from such humble begin­ nings as outlined above. The fam­ ous Bach Choir directed by the famed Wedsh conductor Dr. Ifor Jones is,an outstanding example of a choral group which grew in­ to a large organization from a small beginning. Again we need the leadership to start the prover­ bial ball rolling. Anyone interest­ ed , A Cedarville profile—People devote their lives to different causes. Some greatly desire to accrue large amounts of money while other desire to serve and help their fellow man. Included in thee latter group 'is our Cedar­ ville profile of thee week. Start­ ing out in the public school game, our profile o f the week, taught school and was a prin­ cipal fdl' a while in the state of Indiana. Catching his education in snatches while teaching, he completed his- baccalaureate and master’s degree while also rais­ ing a family which is a distinct feat in itself. Devoted to a God whom ho knew in a personal way our profile has always played a very active role in church work. Coming to our town to teach at Cedarville College some twenty years •ago he quickly endeared himself to the students and Townspeople. His philosophy of life was so completely entwined with his subject matter that the student nob only' learned econom­ ics, sociology, or history but he also lfearned a Christian way o f life very well exemplified by .its exponent. Many fine com­ pliments have been paid to our profile. One, especially signifi- gant, was made recently when a Continued on Page Three W. LMarshall CedarvilleNative DiesSaturday William L.

Indians Are Victorious Again Last Friday evening the Ind- .•fans won their fifth league game out o f the same number o f tries When they beat the Silvercreek yikings with a score of- 45-26. X The Vikings kept pace with the t idians for a while .when Brill arted scoring points for them.' .However Vest and Fife soon Started a good offensiye and, at the .same time their teammates i|ghtened up the defense. As a f ault, the Vikings were able to ore only five points in the last Ifalf, and they couldn’t stop the Hidians from making, their fam­ ous Iast-miUute stand*. * * Rah! Rah! Rah! Three cheers for them! The three 0. .H. S. girls Who have been cheerleaing for oiir basketball teams deserve the three cheers. Carol. Rita Schwab and Geneva Mae Heathcook, Sen­ iors, and JoAnn Berneice Lister, a: Junior, are the three girls who appear on the basketball floor in very appropriate Indian cos­ tumes. A few feathers . would make these cheerleaders real squaws. iThis is the first year of cheer-, leading for all of the girls. JoAnn and Geneva select, FIGHT, SCORE, WIN! as their favorite yell, while Carol chooses 15 CHEERS FOR CEDARVILLE 'HIGH, as-her favorite. The girls :a|ree that, Gotta Team, By Gol- lyf.

IndiansFace ValleyinFirst PlaceBattle This is it! The big game hysteria has h i t ' Cedarville. All preliminaries leading up to the Greene county league bat­ tle for first place have been pass­ ed and_ Friday night at Alford Memorial gym the Cedarville high school Indians will face the Spring Valley Spartans. The locals are out to avenge an early 20 odd point defeat at the hands o f the Spartans, but that one didn’t count in the lea­ gue standings "and this one will. Hope of a victory in tonight’s game hinges heavily on the con­ dition of big Paul Vest and Capt. * Doug Cultice who were injured last Friday night at Silvercreek when they collided going after a rebound. Last Friday the Indians passed their last obstacle to meeting the Spartans in the battle for first place by shellacing Silvercreek 45-26. The locals trailed at the end of the opening period 13-12 and edged to the froftt in the sec­ ond quarter to be on the long end .of ‘the 24-21 count at halftime. In the second half the Indians solved the Vikings offense and went on to win handily. The Spartans barely eked out. a 40-39 win over Yellow Springs - Bryan on the same evening. In the other c6unty league con­ tests last week Ross topped Jef­ ferson 46-29 and Beaver got past Bellbbrook 53-50 in an overtime. For the game tonight, even the band is going all out. Their new uniforms arrived Tuesday and they will wear them for therfirst time tonight. Cedarville (45) G F P Fife, f ____________ ____ 5 6 16 B.
