Of all the months of the year, many people consider October their favorite month. We believe that one reason fo r this choice is the fact that October brings forth more color, and activity than any other month o f the year. Some reasons why we like Oct­ ober (and I’m sure you’ll have to agree with us) are: the pink, crimson, and yellow tinges that brighten the trees and hushes;; the fragrance of peppermint; the royal purple blooms o f the thistle; and the com fields turning from green to yellow, then changing to a brownish hue. This time o f the year we also notice that the air is more tangy and the sunshine has a new thick­ ness to it that you seem to reach out and bring in, not at all like the hot sun in the summertime. Besides the beauty of nature, October has some of the greatest thrills in sports, the World Ser­ ies. This year fo r the first time ■we will be able to view this e- vent with television since the joining o f the cable between Cin­ cinnati and Mew York City. Another event that most of ue enjoy in this month is the cel­ ebration o f Hallowe’en. It might be well to add here that we hope this year everyone has a lot of fun on this occasion without causing- damage to property, . . .

SPORTS VIEWS Indians Split The Cedarville Indians met de­ feat for the first time this sea­ son Tuesday the 20th as they bowed to Bellbrook’s Eagles, 3 to 1 . Bellbrok opened the lseoring in the first when with two out, Alams doubled and scored on Me- Michael’s two-bagger. Cedarville obtained their only tali" in th<? second, temporarily tieing the score. Jim Turnbull grounded out, leading off. Don Chesnut then walked, and was advanced to tfaird on consecutive singles by Jack Irvine and Jim Parker. Cletus Fredericks laid down a bunt, Chesnut scoring on the play, but Jim Luttrell flew out to end the inning, along with the Indians’ scoring. Bellbrook quickly again took the lead in tfcpir half o f the third, tallying a lone run, and incident- ly the winning run. on two walks and two hits. Sackett was issued a free pass and stole second fol­ lowing Adams* strike out. Mc- Michael poled a ground rule double bringing home Sackett with the leading run. Bledsoe singled, Bartley struck out, and Walton walked to fill the bases, Bartley struck out to Fredericks in right to retire the side. From then on, Cedarville was held to two hits; a double by Mel­ vin Tackett, and a single by Jim Parker. Parker’s hit came in the last inning, and gave the Indians a spark o f hope, hut all hope was erased as Bob Peter­ son hit in toji double-play ending the game. The Eagles picked up their other run in the fourth, as Barn­ ett greeted relief hurler Don Heidorn with a home run over the right-field fence. Boh McMIchael was the win­ ner. He allowed five hits, struck out six, and walked one. Starting pitcher Melvin Tack­ ett was charged with the loss, giving up twg runs and four hits in three innings. Don Heidorn, who relieved him in the fourth, ^ave up one run and two hits in four Innings. Indians Trample Little Reds Following Cedarville’s " defeat Tuesday, the Indians bounced hack to trounce Bowersville 9-1 last Friday afternoon on the two- hit pitching o f Donny Heidorn. One was a single bv Haughey in the second, the other a triple by Clark in the third. The Indians tallied nine runs on ten hits to give the losers their fourth straight loss o f the season. There was no scoring on either side until the Indians hammered out six hits to score five runs in the second inning. One hit was a round-tripper smashed by Mel­ vin Tackett into deep center field with two men aboard. The Little Reds, scored their lone run in the third on Clark’s triple to right. He came home on a balk by Don­ ny Heidorn. .The Indians failed to score in the third hut gather­ ed two hits. There was no more scoring by the Indians until the seventh when they tallied three runs on two hits, by Tackett and Vest. Heidorn allowed only two hits, hut isued fiye.passes. Henderson the loser, gave u ten hits hut allowed only one base on balls. After Tuesday’s loss, the Ind­ ians and the Eagles have remain­ ed in a tie for first place.

Large Audience Sees Movies Las Tuesday night the Kroger Company sponsored three movies for the Home Ec Department in the high school auditorium. The first movie, “Never Keep a Good Steak Waiting,” present­ ed the good and bad points in re­ gard to steaks. This picture was followed by a travel movie which showed many customs o f India.

A large crowd attended the pro­ gram. . . . Scientific Movies Shown Chemistry Pupils In connection with our Chemis­ try Class, several movies have been shown recently explaining the Atomic Theory. The first movie emphasized the construction o f the atom. The picture moved so fast we were somewhat confused as to the many aspects o f the subject. Next we saw a two-part movie on the Atomic Theory. This picture dealt with the origin o f the atom, complete with historical dress and locations. Again the movie rather baffled us. To relieve our taut minds, Mr. Guthrie showed us a technicolor movie concerning glass molding. This portrayal was very interest­ ing and picturesque.

LeagueGames Ashland, O., Sept. 30—The Mid-Ohio League launches lifcs first football season this week with four o f the circuit's five schools slated fo r competition in week-end games. Ashland and Cedarville will touch o ff the loop’s ten-game 19- 49 campaign in a Friday night game at Ashland and the follow­ ing evening at Bluffton the Bea­ vers will engage the Findlay Oil­ ers. While these four schools are engaging in league activity, De­ fiance will play-host to -Adrian (Mich.) Saturday. Coach Fritz Bennetts’ Yellow Jackets will play-their first MOL* game on Oct. 15 at Ashland. The best MOL teams could do last week was a victory and a tie in the five- games that kept all league members busy. Ashland, still looking like the team to beat for the first MOL grid championship, turned in a 12 to 0, decision over Ohio North­ ern. It was the Eagles’ second straight success and Northern’s first loss after a decisive 32-2 conquest of Cedarville. Cedarville, making its third, start, battled Georgetown ,(Ky.)‘ to a scoreless tie,.That was a wel­ come addition to the Yellow Jackets’ record for Coach •Men­ del! Beattie’s pupils hafi lost two in a row before traveling a- cross the Ohio river. Findjgy and Bluffton launch­ ed their campaigns over the past week-end. The Oilers absorbed a 34 to 0 beating in venturing a- gainst the powerful Universit- of Akron Zippers and. Bluffton was spanked, 30 to 0, by Wilming­ ton. Defiance dropped its second in to ValDariso. ■Thus, asjthe MOL’s five teams prepare, to launch league play, only Ashland has not tasted de­ feat and only Ashland has tasted victor. BoyScoutsNet JacketsTie Georgetown • A determined, driving Cedar­ ville eleven, playing their third game o f the year Friday night, outfought the heavier and favored Georgetown squad and managed to come with a scoreless tie. Cedarville took the opening kickoff and in four plays drove - to the enemy 21 yard line. A 15 yard penalty for, offensive hold­ ing set them back to the 36 where the attack- bogged down. The re­ mainder of the first i^iarter was fought between the 30 yard lines. Halfway through the second quarter Georgetown, broke loose and sent their left half on a tackle cutback which took them to the Cedarville 7 yard line. Here the Yellow Jackets gave up only 5 yards in the three tries and then on the fourth down Huff­ man, Cedarville end, broke through and nailed the George­ town QB for a six yard loss. Ce­ darville made two. successive first downs but were then halted. It was there that Canaday, Ce­ darville back, got o ff a 65 yard punt. The half found Georgetown on the Cedarville 47. An inspired. Cedarville team took the field to begin the second half and a pass' by Canaday and two by Shaughnessy, the last a s 25 yard heave to Stanley, put Ce­ darville * on the Georgetown 18. Here Georgetown held and took the ball on downs. In the fourth quarter George­ town drove to the Cedarville 5 and with first and goal to go the Cedarville line held and • stopped them on the one foot line. Cedar­ ville started a drive from here but an unnecessary roughness penalty put. -them back on their., one yard line. With only seconds remaining Cedarville pulled three plays and drove to their own 30 where the game ended.

BAND MOTHERS TO MEET The Band Mothers Club will hold their first meeting o f the year on Monday evening, Oct. 3, at 7:30. The life of Florence Cline Mel- Jen, 28, of Jamestown was Snuf­ fed out in the twinkling o f an eye, and her companion, Roy E. Knapper of Wright Field, was critically injured when the. automobile in which they were riding was struck by a Pennsyl­ vania passenger train about 1:20 A. M. Wednesday at the South Main Street crossing in Cedar­ ville. Train No. 202 , Cincinnati to Pittsburgh, Diesel powered, bora down on the car, a 1941 Mercury during _a torrential rain. vThere is no crossing watchman on duty at that hour, hut there are warn- electric hells and the view of" the tracks in both directions is not obscured. A number of people in the neighborhood heard the crash, hut no one responded until a passerby arrived. The train was delayed until the conductor was able to get what facts were a- vailable for his report of the ac­ cident. McMillan’s ambulance took the victims to the victim to the fun­ eral home in Cedarville and rush­ ed Roy E. Knapper to Springfield hospital, where it was found he had suffered sevei-e head injuries. The automobile was a total wreck, mechanics at the Cum­ mings earage, in Cedarville, who towed it from the scene, report. It is apparent the car was struck broadside as it traveled south. This would made the impact in the exact position Mrs. Mellen occupied, if the soldier were driv­ ing. This fact was not establish­ ed however. Incoherently, Shonk- wiler said that he wasn’t sure who was driving the car at the timfe of tHfe accident. Grim .reminders of the mishap at the crossing Wednesday morn­ ing were the license plate—X-43- 78—a hit of crumpled fender and a pair o f ladies black shoes. Vital statistics reveal that Mrs. Florence Cline Mellen was fc£>rn in Jamestown, .Sept. 30, 19- 21. Had she lived two more days she- would have been 28 years old. Her parents are Mr. and Mrs. Roy Cline, who live in Jamestown. She was a member of the Church of Christ. Besides her parents she leaves one son, Keith Hariand Perry. Sjie has three brothers, Robert of Springfield, and George and Charles of Jamestown. A sister, Mrs. Dorothy Ankers, lives in Middletown. Funeral services will he held at the Powers funeral home at 1 P. M. Burial will he in the Jamestown cemetery. Friends may call at the funer­ al home after 3 P. M. Thursday, and in the evening, TwoKiledat SelmaCrossing In the second crash on the Pennsylvania railroad within. a few hours, Mr. and Mrs. Julius Soiler of Columbus lost i/heir lives when a westbound freight train struck their automobile at the grade crossing at Selma. The accident occurred about 10:45 A. M., according to a re­ port that gave only meager de­ tails. There is an unobstructed view of the parallel tracks fo r a long distance at the intersection f the Selma road with US-42. However this is the second fatal accident there within recent months. CharlesRitenour OnWednesday Charles M. Ritenour 71, veter­ an employe o f the Dayton and Southeastern bus lines, died of a heart attack on the street near his home on East - Washington Street, Wednesday morning. He was on his way to"work.
