Wednesday. Miss MacMillan died at Rich­ mond. Va.. Thursday. She was born March 11, 1876, in Cedarville, the daughter of James and Martha Murdoch Mac­ Millan. Recently she had made her home in Long Beach Calif. She was the sister of the late Clayton MacMillan of Cedarville. Survivors are three brothers, Fred, jKansas City, Mo.; Homer, Atlanta. Ga, and Jason, Norfolk. Va. Dr. Paul H. Elliott of the Pres­ byterian church conducted the service. Burial was in Massies Creek cemetery. Enon Man Saw Lincoln Here Abraham Lincoln did pass through Clark County, according to W. Kollo Boehringer of Enon, who read a recent news story in which stated that it was be­ lieved the Great Emancipator had passed this way on his way to Washington in 1861. Mr. Boehringer says he was ac­ quainted with a Mrs. Mary Beem- er who died in 1938 at the age of 89 years. He says Mrs. Beemer once ioid him she had seen Lin­ coln when he passed through Ce­ darville, where she lived as a girl. Histories note that Lincoln traveled from Cincinnati to Co­ lumbus on the old Little Miami railroad and that he was widly cheered by crowds along the route. Meslch Is in Search for Tort’ Ens. Edmund, D. Meslch, USN, husband of Mrs. E. D. Meslch, of Cedarville, Ohio, participated in the Atlantic search for the crew o f a missing B-29 Superfortress while serving aboard the destroy­ er TJSS Gyatt with the Northern European Task Force. The miss­ ing plane was lost on a flight from Dakar, South Africa to Marham, England, Jan. 26, 1949. Units of British and French fleets joined with the American Task Force, under the command o f Admiral Richard L. Conolly, in the search for the aircraft. Getting: Around Cedarville v Recently we celebrated the birthday of “Honest Abe” Lincoln, the Illinois “Rail-splitter.” As usual many stories concerning “Abe” went the rounds. This col­ umn would like to recount one anecdote that brings out Lincoln’s humbleness. At Pappville, Illi­ nois while campaigning for the state legislature between rest spells of a hog sale, Abe spoke these words: “Gentlemen and fel­ low citizens: I presume you all know who I am. I am humble Abraham Lincoln. I have been solicited by many friends to be­ come a candidate for the^ legis­ lature. My politics are short and sweet, like the old woman’s dance. I am in favor of a nation­ al bank. I am in favor of the in­ ternational-improvements system and a high protective tariff. These are my sentiments and a political principles. I f elected I shal he thankful; i f not, it will he all the same.” P. S. Lincoln lost the election. Any similarity to our present “windy” politicans is purely a coincidence.. . . . Do you have a hobby? Recre­ ational workers tell us that we should fill in our leisure time with an organized hobby. There arc many standard types or kinds of hobbies such as stamps and coin collecting, antiques. unusual dishes and many others. With many collectors, the hobby idea has grown to such piogortions that it turns into a profitable business adventure. Many of our famous leaders in America have followed a hobby. Outstanding was the late President Roosevelt and his extensive stamp collec­ tion. People often ask what bene­ fits are derived from a hobby. Psychologically speaking a hob­ by is an escape mechanism. In building up a stamp collection or in gathering works of art we are accuring tangible objects which can be fully be enjoyed for years to come. Great pleasure is derived from showing: such' a collection to another individual, be,he interested or uninterested. You must not mistake my re­ marks as a criticism since hobbles are very worth-while pastimes, rather I would recommend that you develop a hobby. It might be a fine tiling if some Cedar­ ville club or organization spon­ sored a hobby show to create some interest and help to sug­ gest various hobbies. . , , Time is eternal ’tis said but we sometimes wonder about said time. An interesting conversa­ tion took place in our town the other day between a small school- age boy and an elderly lady in re­ gard to time. Said the lad of some 8 years, “I can hardly wait for April to come so we can play ball.” With an understanding look on her face and probably re­ calling her lost youth the elderly lady very nicely reminded* all those within hearing that when a person gets along in years they they don’t wisii for time to fly by, in fact time gets too fast. After all, time especially as it concerns our ages is divided as are our seasons. Spring with all its freshness, its vigor, its re- birth is our youth. Like the “Ker­ ry dance” our youth is over and gone much too 'soon. The spring of life is a period o f rapid growth. A getting ready for things to come. Then copies summer with its long warm days when the “livin is easy” as Porgy puts it in his Continued On Page Two College Teacher Speaks at Rotary Gilbert Dodd, of the Cedarville College faculty, was guest speak­ er at a meeting of the Xenia Ro­ tary Club Tuesday noon. Mr. Dodd, who spoke on “Functional Psychology,” was introduced by Ira D. Vayhinger, president of Cedarville College. A sound motion picture “On To New York” was shown as a preliminary to the Rotary inter­ national convention to be held in New York in June, UrgePlanting OfTreesto ConserveSoil Farmers o f Greene County are urged to consider the forestry practices in making plans to co­ operate in the 2949 Agricultural Conservation Program. Joseph B. Mason Chairman of the county ACP (AAA) Committee, said that the* planting of trees help con­ serve soil, adds beauty, provides a valuable future crop and pro­ tects farm livestock from winds and storms. In addition, trees and wrindbreaks provide protec­ tion for game birds and other wildlife. Mr. Mason said that on most farms thre are irregular pieces where trees would make profit­ able use of the laud. A woodlot for fences posts, fire wood and saw timber will prove valuable. In many parts o f the country a ' border of trees will help protect the land from blowing. Erosion on steep hillsides often can be controlled with trees. Under the 1949 Agricultural Conservation Program here are three forestry practices. They are (a) the planting of trees for (1) Forestry purposes, "(2) Gully controll. (3) Windbreak, in ac­ cordance with good tree culture. Areas planted to trees cannot he grazed by livestock and the plantings may include, black lo­ cust, yellow* popular, black wal­ nut, sugar maple and other hard maples, oak, white pine, red pine, and scotch pine. Assistance to farmers carrying our forestry practices under the 1949 program will he about §1.00 per 100 trees but not in excess of §7.50 per acre. RedCrossFund DriveWorkers ToHoldMeet On Thursday evening, Febru­ ary 24th, there will be a “kick­ off” meeting for all workers in the Red Cross Fund Campaign to be held during the month of March. The meeting, which will be held in the Greene County Chapter House at eight o’clock, will be an interesting: one and every campaign worker is urged to be present, A First Aid demonstration By members of the Fairfield Fire Department will be included in the progann. In addition, instruc­ tions will be given the workers and supplies will be distributed. Following the meeting, refresh­ ments^ .which have been* donated for the occasion, will be served by the Canteen Corns.

This year’s quota for the Greene County chapter will he $16,394.00 which is considerably less than last year’s quota—in spite of a greatly accelerated service pro­ gram In the local Chapter. Lamp Dealers to Meet in Dayton Miami Valley lamp dealers in­ terested in the latest develop­ ments in home lighting will at­ tend a lamp show to be held in The Dayton Power and Light the Gas and Electric Building of Company, 25 North Main Street, Dayton, February 23rd, 24th, and 25th. The show will be open from 2:00 p. tn. to 10:00 p. m. each day. Admission by invitation only.

The show is being sponsored by The Dayton Power and Light Compapy in cooperation with the country’s leading lamp manufacturers. Cedarville, Ohio, ffriday, February 18, 1949 "■..... I I ■ Number 11 ProsecutorGives RulingonLaw LibraryFuads In a ruling handed last Thurs­ day to County Auditor James J. Curlett, Prosecutor George R. Smith declared that the auditor, in effect, should: follow a court order, and not an attorney gen­ eral’s opinon, in the distribution of refund money received for law library association purposes The opinion had- been sought by Mi*. Curlett aud John V. Gib- ney, Xenia lawyer' and secretary of the Greene Count)’ Daw Li­ brary association. In the brief opinion, Mr. Smith wrote that it was the auditors duty to follow the statutes and that the present manner of dis­ tribution, based on a court inter­ pretation of a law, takes preced­ ence over any attorney generals ruling to the contrary since that official has no authority J to change existing laws. The prosecutor’s words were welcomed by Greene county mu­ nicipal and village governments which stood a chance, on the strength of the conflicting at­ torney general’s ruling, to lose all the money annually paid into the law library fund. Municipal courts, for instance may be assessed up to $3,000 a year for law library operation but at the end of the year, after as­ sociation expenses have beets met, 90 per cent of the balance is refunded to these local subdi­ visions on a basis proportionate to that paid into the fund. Mr. Curlett said refunds of the last several years have been made in accordance with a court order given here during the war by *• Common Pleas Judge George W. McDowell of Hillsboro. The judge at that time, ended three years’ litigation by finding the local law library association was legally constituted but that it could keep only 10 per cent of its year-end balance, setting up the refunds on the basis proportionate to pay­ ments. Former Attorney General Hugh S. Jenkins, in a decision last No­ vember, little more than a month before leaving office, held that disposition of such money is an exclusive interest of the state and that refunds should he paid to the treasurer of the county. He also ruled that refunds paid to municipalities in recent yea£s were “erroneously allocated" add subject to collection. \ While it involved only several thousand dollars aiuiaafisT hartr- pressed municipalities indicated * they would argue for continuation of the refund to them, Xenia’s municipal court and the Osborn mayor’s court have been the big­ gest, contributors, each being as­ sessed the maximum $3,000 a year. About $2,300, however, has been refunded to each. No figures are available for 1948 but the 1947 total refund amounted to §8,123, W.R.Lewis PassesAway FridayEvening Servjcees Monday for retired farmer 82, William Robert Lewis, 82, died Friday at 7:30 p. m. at the home of his daughter. Mrs. John Mar­ tin, with whom he resided on the Dayton pike, two miles west of Xenia; He had been in failing health several months. He was bom in Batteyvllle, Ky., March 3, 1866. A retired farmer, he resided fith Mr. and Mrs. Mar­ tin near Cedarville until they moved to the Dayton pike in De­ cember. He was a member of the Jamestown Baptist church. He is survived by another daughter, Mrs. W. M. Trainer, Huntington, W. Va.; a son* Felix, Dayton pike; five grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. His wife preceded him in death: Services were held at the Mar­ tin residence Monday a t 2 p. to , with Rev. Charles Brooks, South Charleston, officiating. Burial was in Ellis Cemetery, Spring- field pike. ManInjured ByRunaway TeamFriday Injured last Friday w h e n thrown by a team of runaway horses, Edward Leach, 49, St, Louis, was recovering at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Leach, Jamestown-Paiuters- ville pike, a half-mile west of Jamestown. ‘ The accident occurred on the Leach farm. Mr. Leach was driv­ ing the horses, hitched to a sled, in the bam lot. The animals be­ came frightened and bolted, con­ tinuing their flight down the Jamestown-Paintersville pike. Mr. Leach became entangled in the sled and was dragged a- bout a quarter of. a mile before he was able to free himself. The horses continued on a short dis­ tance. He was treated at the Haines hospital. Jamestown, for cuts on his back, which required twenty stitches, and abrasions and bruis­ es over his entire body. Mr. Leach is employed in St., Louis but came to his parents* home three weeks ago, being called here by the illness of-his father. On the School Scene By Margie Bradfute As sure as the,.vine grows round the stump, You are my, darling s u g a r lump! This little couplet should strike a familiar chord in the hearts of our readers, young and old, since Monday of this week was Valen­ tine’s day. The grade children had their parties and their customary valr entine boxes, filled to overflow­ ing with' pretty or humorous verses on lacy paper. There was the usual comparing and count­ ing that went on between the kids after school. (Of course you will remember that part of the routine.) The spirit of the occa­ sion extended over the entire school to some extent, although in most cases the customary “sweet nothings” were limited to the “O. A. O”. All in all it was a happy day for all concerned, with the feeling of sentiment in the air, and the springlike weath­ er providing and additional touch. The origin of Valentine’s day reaches far back into the past. Some historians claim the cus- _tom has existed 1700 years, or since February 14 in the seven­ teenth century, when St. Valen­ tine, a priest in Rome died. Several explanations are given for the familiar customs con­ nected with this day. Some say St. Valentine went about from house to house, leaving food on the doorsteps of the poor, and that Valentine greetings grew out of this practice. The English poets,, Chaucer and. Shakespeare, both refer to the observance of the festival on the day in early spring when birds first choose their mates. Regardless of its origin or his­ tory, we all agree that it is a fine custom, as it motivates the wish to express one’s thoughts to those he loves, either by cards or small tokens............... Vocational Talk Given Pupils Mr. Edward Schwinn* registrar of Miami-Jacobs College, Dayton, spoke to members of the junior and senior classes, Monday mor­ ning, February 14, in the audi­ torium. The subject of Mr. Schwinn’s talk was, “The Way You Point Your Finger.” In the course of his speech, he stressed the impor­ tance of further education to young people after graduation from high school. The speaker stated that in the United States we l^ve^three jnpin ^apporfiini- ties during our lifetime: (1) the opportuity to learn, (2) the op­ portunity that “takes” you, and (3) the opportunity that ‘breaks’ you. In his talk he developed each of these angles. . . Special Assembly Held Last Friday morning Mr. Wal­ ker and Mrs. Foster arranged a special assembly to promote school spirit, Mr. Walker led the high school pupils in singing favorite songs* selected by them, after Mrs. Fos­ ter had grouped them into so­ prano, alto, tenor, and bass sec­ tions. After the singing session the cheer-leaders led us in several yells, jn preparation for Friday night’s game. . , Green® County Tournament Starts At Field House The Greene County Tourna­ ment opened at Xenia, Wednes­ day night, with Cedarville play­ ing Bellbrook in the first game, after which Bryan, squared off with Ross.

Winners of Thursday’s last two games, and the winner of Wed­ nesday will be battling for su­ premacy Saturday night. Drawings for positions was held Saturday morning, February 12. Indians Suffer D_efeat At Hands Of Beaver Last Friday evening the Indi­ ans lost their final league game of the season to the Beaver boys. Final score of the game was 68- 61. The Beavers were on the war­ path and could not be stopped by the Indians, who kept losing ground as they permitted them to score. The offense of two of the local boys was remarkably good, Vest making 23 points during the game, and Fife caging 19 coun­ ters; The India,n reserves lost their game, with a score of 24 to 27. This game marked the end of the reserve season, in which the boys won 10 games (60%), and lost 6 matches. Inter-Class Tournament In the lone game of the week the freshmen succeeded in win­ ning the second round of the tour­ nament by upsetting the first- round winners, the seniors. The game was closely fought during the first half, hut the last half proved the deciding factor, as the freshmen pulled away to win 10 to 6. The third and last round of the tournament has been drawn and is posted on the bulletin board. The first game on February 16' will match freshmen and juniors.— Juniors Lose Class 'Member j “Parting js such sweet sorrow” someone has said. This sentiment was felt by the members of the Junior class and others of C. H. S. when Dorothy Chenoweth * left us to go to a new school last Tuesday. She is moving to Way- Continued oii Page Four Jackets Down Huntington 62-47 Tuesday After dropping two in a row the Cedarville college Yellow Jac­ kets came back to win another pair by beating Villa Madona 59- 56 last Saturday night at Cov­ ington, Ky., and then winning Huntington Tuesday night at Al­ ford Memorial gym by a 62-47 count. At Wilmington last Thursday night, the Jackets playing with­ out the services of Walt Blateric, dropped a 58-42 decision to the Quakers. The Jackets opened the game with a rush, but trailed 22- 20 at the half. . In the game at Covington Sat­ urday night with Villa Madona, the locals came from behind in the second half to win 59-56. Sporting a 36-28 lead at the half, the jackets held Huntington in check during the second half to win going away.

Indians Win TourneyOpener By46-29Score The Cedarville high school In­ dians opened the Greene county basketball tournament Wednesday night by beating* Bellbrook 46- 28. The Tribe took an early first quarter lead and were out in front after the first 8 minutes of play 12-10, In the second per­ iod the Eagles hung on and With a pair of quick baskets just be­ fore the half put the locals be­ hind 18-17. In the second half the Indians found their range and with big Paul (Abie) Vest dunking in the rebounds rolled out in front at the end of the third quarter 33- 24, For all intents and purposes the final canto was a repeti­ tion of the third. The Indians will face Yellow Springs Bryan, 37-31 winner over Ross in Wednesday’s other game,, Saturday night at 8:20. Xenia Central field house, scene of the annual tournament was packed for the opening night. On Thursday night Ross played Bellbrook in a consolation brac­ ket contest while Spring Val­ ley met Beaver and Jefferson tangled with Silvercreek in the remaining first round games. Last Friday night the Indian dropped to a red hot Beeaver team at Beaver in the final game of the league play. The winers chalked up 19 points in the first period and 23 in the second to be on the long end of the 42-20 halftime count. Although the Indians came back strong in the second half, but the margin was too much. The loss Friday night put the locals and Beaver in a tie for second place in the county league, but the Indians won the toss for seeding in the tourney.
