Allcard, 34, naval architect from Surrey, England, rests in the 29-foot yawl, the Temptress, In which he sailed from Gibraltar to the United States in 81 days. The escapist from British austerity braved storms, sharks, and sail breakdowns/ but arrived at City Island, N, Y., in good shape, hav­ ing lost only 10 pounds. His voyage took him along 4,500 miles. He said he sailed to escape form-filling in England. “ I wanted the freedom only offered by the sea," he said. He doesn’t like for people to ring him on the telephone, and detests alarm clocks and routine schedule.

Adorned in sheets, sunbonnets, gigantic unbuckled boots, sun­ glasses (to take the glare of in­ terested observers); and ropes, which they were obliged to jump, the girls felt themselves very outstanding characters. With accessories consisting of mother’s wide-brimmed hat and father’s “ fodder” rope in hand, the hoys were spectacular each wearing cotton skirts and peas­ ant blouses. The ilojl-buggi'es, having been put to a new use of carrying the Sophomores’ books, caused much traffic congestion in the halls due to the fact that the unfortunate drivers had to stop every few minutes to show their compacts to the inquisitive Sophomores. The “ brilliant” Freshmen, as well as their amused audience, enjoyed the spirited program which had been previously plan­ ned by the Sophomores to climax the day’s events. . . . Sophomore-Freshman Party In contrast to their rough or­ deal on Thursday, the Freshman class thoroughly enjoyed the party staged for them by the Sophomores Friday night from 7 till 10:00 in the school auditor­ ium. Refreshments o f hot dogs, ci­ der and dqughnuts were served by the hosts and hostesses, fol­ lowed by dancing which was en­ livened with contests. Teachers present were; Mrs. Chesnut, Sophomore Home Room teacher and Miss Mallow, Fresh­ man Home Room Teacher. Mr. Boyer and Miss Grace Luttrell , also served as chaperons for the party. Sports Views Last wek the Cedarville Indians finished their regular season as­ sured of at least a tie for first place in the Greene County Fall League when they shutout James­ town 3-0 Tuesda-* and defeated Spring Valley Friday by a score 8-3. Last Tuesday, on the five-hit pitching of Melvin Tackett, the Indians roared to a 3-0 victory over Jamestown Silveccreek, It looked as. though the game might have to be played extra innings, but the Redskins snapped out o f it in the sixth to break the dead­ lock when Jim Luticell smashed a triple to right field. Jim' came nome on an error by the catcher when he tried to pick him o ff third. Chesrut and Irvine scored two more runs in the seventh, hut they were not nee led as the Vi­ kings went down in the seventh without scoring. During the sev­ en innings Jamescnwn scattered out five hits but failed to tally any •runs. Tackett struolf out thirteen, walked thrgl, and gave up five hits to register his second win of the season. Edwarns, the .nser, struck out three, walked three, but gave up six hits. Spartans Downed The Indians scored eight runs in two innings Friday to.bury Spring Valiev by an 8 to S ver­ dict. Cedarville jumped on Spartan starter Don Messner for four rans in the first frame with the help of shaky fielding on the pert of Spring Valley. Three men were walked, one hit oy a pitched ball, while only one hit war 'ibtained by the Indians, that being a single by Melvin Tackett. Cedar­ ville was helped greatly by three errors on the part o f the visit­ ing club. The Spartans gave evidence of coming back in the fifth as they narrowed the margin to one run, 4-3. Roach was safe on an error leading off. He then stole second and took third on Messner’s single. Indian hurler Heidorn then walked the next two men, forc­ ing one run in. Mitchener follow­ ed with a hit driving in another tally. After Wheeler’s strike out, Williams doubled bringing home Jordon with their final run; Ross trying to score on the play was cut down at the plate by a re­ lay from left field. Pickering then lined out to end the inning. The Indians. made sure o f vic­ tory in the sixth, by driving u- cross four runs to put the game in the bag. Paul Vest walked and stole second to start the Cedar­ ville rally. Melvin Tacfcc|.t brought him home with his sec- ond hit o f the day, a double. Pinch-hitter Boh Peterson laid into one o f Messner’s Sunday pitches, and when the dust settled \ended up at third with a triple. Don Chesnut kept the rally go­ ing as he beat out a suicide, bringing Peterson home. After Chesnut had taken third aided by an error and a 'wild pitch, Don Heidorn drove him home with a high Texas-League hit to right. -Jim Stewart then grounded out to end the inning. Heidorn put the Spartans down scoreless in the seventh to reg­ ister his third triumph of the season. He allowed four hits, struck out nine, and walked four. Losing pitcher JDon Messner gave up six hits, struck out sev­ en, and walked four, . . . Seniors Select Invitations ,The Seniors chose their gradu­ ation invitations during a class meeting Friday morning. Two engraving companies were represented, each ,of them offer- Continued on Page Two In his four-speech visit in Greene county on his Ohio swing “ reporting to the people” , Sen­ ator Robert A. Taft avowed his indorsement o f a government farmprice support and as un­ equivocally denounced further government spending. On, his visit Tuesday to the Greene county capital the sena­ tor first met newsmen with whom he chatted informally. Then fol­ lowed a gathering of some 30 representative Greene county farmers to whom- he talked in the Rotary club-ro&m. Myron- Fudge, Silvercreek township dairy breeders was chairman o f the farmers group, and the senator wgs introduced by John Collins, o f Cedarville, township, the president of the Miami Valley Milk Producers as­ sociation. This meeting was en­ livened by a question from A . B. (Doc) Evans who voiced a dis­ sent to any government support o f farm prices. Evans is nation­ ally known as a Hampshire breed­ er and progressive farmer. He lives on SR-72 between James­ town and Cedarville. “ There ought to be some sup­ port for farm prices,” the sena­ tor asserted. He used the same expression several times in his four talks. He is opposed to the “Brannen plan,” the administra­ tion’s farm program, .declaring he would fight it and vote a- gainst it in the senate. To quote the senator: “A guaranteed price far farm products, is justified if we get the right plan. The farmer sells in a free market, in which the fluctuations can be pretty vio­ lent. If we permit the bottom to drop out of vfarnj_ prices we’ll turn what we now call a reces­ sion into a . depression. If the farmer can’t buy it is reflected at once in industry and a gradual­ ly increasing* spiral. One of our ToHonorStele After twenty years o f teach­ ing at Cedarville College in so­ cial studies, during which time he was dean of the college, Dr. C. W. Steele retired from ac­ tive teaching in 1948 to take a year’s leave o f absence. That year has expired, and he is retiring permanently. The October 8 week­ end will he doubly meaningful as a homecoming fo r alumni, and as a farewell to Dr. and Mrs. St^ le. The homecoming banquet wilt he dedicated to that farewell, and many of Dr. Steele’s former stu­ dents are expected to remember him on that occasion. Upperclass­ men still in college well remem­ ber the high ideals which he had and the high expectations he had; for them. It is difficult to put into words the appreciation which the many former students o f Cedarville College have for Dr. and Mrs. Steele. The example set in happy,’ harmonious daily living by this couple is a lesson in itself. Prof. Steele’s classes were always pop­ ular; his favorite stories and anecdotes are long remembered. The Steeles realized the impor­ tance of leading consistently Christian lives, and those asso­ ciated with them throughout the years can testify to the fulfill­ ment o f this realization. TO HAVE MO.VIE The McKibben Bib]^ class o f the United Presbyterian church will sponsor a movie Sunday pvPn|n~ at that church. The Ce­ darville college Caravaners will be in charge of the devotions. The title of the movie is “ I Am With You” , and cames very high­ ly recommended to the class. WARNING Mayor William W. Ferguson is issuing a warning to the Hal­ loween pranksters that any dis-- tructiion o f property will not be tolerated. It seems that prank­ sters have swung into action al­ ready. main jobs in Washington now is tp prevent that happening again. A complete failure^ in the price o f farm products would brinn- that keep jireedom at all we can’t fix about. . . . if we are going to prices. That offends every idea I have of American freedom. We ought to have a price support system but not a price fixing system so that people are induc­ ed to produce whereby people only produce things when other peo­ ple want to buy them.?’ A t • the noon hour the senator addressed about 200 members o f the Xenia service clubs and guests. He dwelt on the tax sit­ uation, declaring that citizens now pay 25% of every dollar earnecLin taxes, and that incen­ tive to private enterprise is dulled to the point where it is hext to nil. “ Government spend­ ing must stop!” he stated emphat­ ically. The_national budget of 41 billions js 10 times what it was, 10 years ago, he reminded his hearers. Dr. W. A. Hammond introduc­ ed the senator at the service club luncheon. Next on his day’s speaking itinerary Senator Taft addressed a large group o f citizens in the auditorium of the high school, where he was presented by Supt. S . J. Warner.

CLIFTON UNITED PRESBYTERIAN, CHURCH 10:00 Sunday school. Theme, “ The Moral. Basis for True Wor­ ship.” After several years of negoti­ ations, the village council and H. A. Tyson, of London, finally came to an agreement at regular council meeting Monday night with the signing of a contract which gives the village the nec­ essary land for a-sewage dispos­ al plant and easement for an out­ fall sewer, and will permit work on the extension of sewers in the village to he resumed. The village, under the terms of the agreement will pay Mr. Ty­ son, owner of the old paper plant on Xenia avenue, a. total of $7,- 000 for the land, easement and bill of sale to tlie bridge, piers and all existing sewer which will be partly used in running the out­ fall sewer from Xenia avenue to the proposed disposal plant. In effecting the agreement Monday night, the village dropped its resolution, to condemn the property and Mr. Tyson dropped his $48,00,0 damage suit against the village. The injunction a- gainst the village has been dis­ solved and work on the extension of the sewers can be resumed as soon as the contractor returns his men and machinery to the lo­ cation. The contract, as signed by the village and Mr. Tyson on Mon­ day night, provides for a deed to the disposal plant land, an ease­ ment for the outfall sewer, an entry dissolving the injunction against the village and dismissal of Mr. Tyson’s damage suit, and a hill, of sale for the bridge over Massies creek including the piers and all existing sewer lines on the property. In Consumating the agreement, the village made a payment of $500 Monday night with the re­ maining $6500 to be paid within one year from the signing of the contract following the sale of revenue bonds. Whs® the present sewer lines were laid several years ago, the village signed a contract with the Hager Straw Board and Paper company for the right of way for an outfall sewer. When the paper plant property was sold to Mr. Tyson the contracted was terminated and negotiations have been preceding for the land for a disposal plant and easement for the outfall sewer since that time. ^ The voters pi|t (their OK on a bond issue to extend the sewer lines in November of 1946 and a contract was let about a year a- go to begin work on the exten- sion. ~ , At that time Mr. Tyson filed a damage suit against the village and was granted a temporary injunction restraining the vil­ lage from running any addition­ al sewage into the outfall sewer. Recently the village passed a resolution to begin comdemna- tion procedings against Mr. Ty­ son. With the signing of the con­ tract and agreement with Mr. Tyson Monday night, both the village and Mr. Tyson have drop­ ped their various court actions and the village will now resume construction of the extension lines and start immediate action on estimates and letting the con­ tra ct,for the construction of the disposal plant. Also at council meeting Mon­ day night the Legion Auxiliary asked for better safety precau­ tions at the Main and Miller street crosings of the Pennsylvan­ ia. railroad, and members Of the school board asked for traffic lights at the school. 11:00 Preaching service, |3er- mon subject, “ The State of Re­ ligion as Given at the Last Meet­ ing of the General Assembly.” 7:30 Younjtr people’s meeting, led by Miss Clara Sexton, who will supplement her talk on con­ versation with charts and pic­ tures.

Saturday, October the eighth, is homecoming day at Cedarville College. Every year it is the de­ sire o f the -college to have as many of the alumni as possible return for some sort of meeting or celebration. We feel that this annual gathering helps keep an interest in the activities o f this college alive. And too, it is one o f the few times when the gradu­ ates are able to meet their fellow classmates and hash over old' Set for Saturday, times. Here’s the low down. The fes­ tivities for the day will begin at 1 p. m. with a marching band contest. Eight high school bands have been invited to participate. A t 2:15 the football game be­ tween Bluffton and Cedarville will start. All those football en­ thusiasts who are not playing will have a chance to win or lose the game on the sidelines, according to how they would play it. * Bleachers seating 500 have been ejected and the various organi­ zations will sell refreshments. At half time there will be a bandplaying contest to determine which o f the eight bands plays the sweetest music this side of Wayne King. Following .this, prizes will be awarded to the best marching band and to the best playing band. Also at half-time the corona­ tion o f the 1949 Homecoming Queen Cynthia Sue Caudill will be held. The coronation begins with a parade, led by the Queen and her attendants, which end3 at her place o f honor, located on the sideline near- 'midfield. Here, with pomp and ceremony, the newly-elected Queen is crowned. After the ceremony, the gahie is resumed ivith, Cedarville coming away the better team, we hope.

If this doesn’t please them, nothing will. A ll that is lacking is a sing­ ing waiter. * The day will be completed with a dance, beginning at 8:30, to which everyone is invited. In the past, the music has left nothing to be desired, unless, o f course, it is more time. I f you’re wondering what this is leading up to, here is the pitch. The student council and the Whispering Cedars staff intend to mdke this the biggest and best Homecoming celebration to date. They can’t do it without the aid o f the student body. It’s up to you. You can also help by patroniz­ ing the various concessions to be located on the sidelines. Be sure to buy your woman flowers, buy yourself one, too, if you can af­ ford it; They will be sold the en­ tire day. Please follow the directions o f the parking attendants so that confusion will be kept at a mini­ mum. These few things aren’t all you can do, but you get the idea! Let’s all participate in making this the biggest and best Homecom­ ing ever held at Cedarville col- Jege. October 8. See you then. i£ te-
