A. V. and Robert J. Welsh commander of the 2nd district, D. A. V. of Ohio, it was announced today by Cecil A. Strobridge, com^mandev o f the Greene, county chapter of the or­ ganization. Mr. Daniels, who is also a member of the Ohio Sen­ ate from this district, was co­ author o f the first bill introduce, providing for a state bonus fo r Ohio's World War II veterans, was author of tire Veterans’ Em­ ployment Bill, which will, to a very great extent, “ lift the bar” to war-time disabled veterans ob­ taining employment in private industry.

A- V., organized in 1920, has always specialized in assist­ ing veterans i nconection with the phepaiation and prosecution o f their claims on war-incurred disabilities, and maintains Na­ tional Service Officers at all of- ‘ fices of the Veterans Adminis­ tration and federal government hospitals for this purpose. All questions on individual claims will be answered following the meet­ ing. All veterans are extended a cordial invitation to be present, and a special invitation is ex­ tended to the women. On the School Scene by* Rosie Miller “ I t Ground Hog Day be fa ir and bright, Winter will have another flight? But i f it be dark with clouds and rain, Winter is gone, and will not come again.” In the United States February 2 is known as Ground Hog Day, a time fo r forcasting the weather fo r the next six weeks. The cus­ tom of observing the weather on this day to discover the length o f the winter season, was brought to America by immigrants from Great Britian and Germany. The theory is that i f the ground hog comes out o f his winter quarters on this day and sees his shadow, there will be six more weeks o f winter, but if the day is cloudy, he will not return to his winter quarters fo r another long sleep, as the winter weather will soon give way to balmy spring. An interesting experiment ov­ er a period o f twenty years show­ ed that his prediction proved to be true fo r eight years; inaccu­ rate for seven years; and indefin­ ite for five years. From this experiment we con­ clude that this age-old prediction, like our Weather Man, is sub­ ject to fallacy. Are You Going? period mark. Cedarville outscored the visitors in the second quarter but still trailed at th#i half, 24-21. Once more he Indians forged, a- head in a third quarter, this time with the London team, to have a slight 33-30 advantage at the end of the third quarter. In the last stanza, London •pushed ahead and held a lead o f 39-37 with less than two minutes left. After Ce­ darville had missed three consec­ utive foul shots, Paul- Vest fin ­ ally dropped a charity toss through the hoop to drow within one point o f the leaders; then Jack Irvine scored on a one- hand push shot to give Cedar­ ville a 40-39 decision, as the rest o f the game went without score. Paul Vest jumped hack into the “ 20 or better’’ class, scoring 23 points; His team play and re­ bounding also played a great part In the win. Don Heidorn was sec-* ond in scoring fo r Cedarville, with 7 .counters.

An over capacity crowd at the College gym saw the Indians squeeze by the Vikings o f Sil- verereek by the narrow margin o f 44 to 38. Trailing at the half time 19- 18, Cedarville unfurled a basket barrage that carried them beyond the reach, of the Viking basket teers for the remainder *bf the game. The undersized Wallace- mei>. were out scored but were never out of the game, the largest difference ^at anytime being only nine points. Tackett opened the fray with a long shot followed quickly by Vest’s lay up from under the basket. Edwards, opened fo r the Vikings with a nifty lay-up on a fast break. Tackett preserved the Indians lead with two beauti­ ful long shots, however* Silver- creek bounced back with Fowler and Ferguson each hitting from the field. The first quarter end­ ed with Steward finding the range on a charity toss. Cedar­ ville led 9 to 8. p The Indians took jhe tip to start the second quarter and the Wallacemen served notice they were out. to upset the favorites. With 4 minutes and 45 seconds Vikings tied the count. Cedar­ ville fought back *into the lead and held it till the minute mark where the Vikings notched it at 18 each. Bingamon supplied the free throw to put Silvercreek a- head 19-18. The third quarter opened with Silvercreek gaining possession on the tip Cedarville caught fire a- gain, Hiedorn scoring on a long shot and Ir-ving .scoring <5 points on two fielders and a charity toss. Fowler’s basket was match­ ed by Hiedorn’s long set shot. Irving carried on in stride on a terrific rehound shot hut was countered by Bingamon’s lay up shot. Stewart ended the quarter with a one hand push shot putting Cedarville ahead 31-24. The fourth quarter saw both teams matching basket fo r bask­ et. Vest showed the fans he was really all they say he is, con­ trolling both bank boards and feeding his capable team mates on the fast breaks. With 3 min­ utes and 50 seconds remaining Tackett left the game via the ‘ foul route. The fans showed their* respect for his terrific game by a tremendous round o f applause. At the automatic time Cedarville led 44-36. Stewarts push shot from the-field was followed by Ferguson’s chairty toss. It was here the fans stood and paid tri­ bute to the versatile Vest who was fouled out. The game ended with Cedarville on the long end o f a 44-38 score. Every member o f both teams played terrific heads up ball. Ed­ wards took all scoring honors ' with 16 points.Tackett and Fer­ guson followed with 12 points each. The reserves made the evening a Complete success by trouncing the Viking’s B squad to the tune of 30-14. By the looks o f these boys, Walker hasn’ c too much worry about fo r next season; ex­ cept maybe, who will replace Vest. Silvercreek - B. F. T.

He was in Xenia Tuesday, Jan.’ 24, making his customary rounds - at the court housq and with ad­ vertisers, He attended Rotary club luncheon and his fellow mem­ bers all speak o f his particularly jovial mood, as did all others who talked with him. = / He called his wife to tell her he was driving over to Dayton to get some paper fo r a print­ ing order. Dr. W. A. Hammond's secretary says that he seemed ill when he was talking with her, and she was concerned, remem­ bering that her husband had suf­ fered an attack with the same symptoms Mi’. Miller was show­ ing. The car was found six days later parked near the paper comp­ any’s plant, unlocked and with the printing order lying on the seat. His family knows nothing that could have caused him to go away voluntarily. A t the moment a national ra­ dio hookup is planned in an at­ tempt to reach him. Meanwhile, his two newspapers will be continued.
