Last Sunday was the occasion upon
which a class of twenty-eight of the boys
and girls of this parish made their first
solemn communion. The ceremony was
grand and impressive and the sermon
preached for the occasion by our pastor
one which will long be remembered
by those present. Nothing is more
beautiful than to see our children TAX
ing this important step in life with a
thorough realization of the so!emnity of
the occasion. We can then understand
how we'll they have been prepared by
their instructor.
An important business change which
took place this week is the resignation
of Cashier K. G. Luke of the Bank Of
Olga and the appointment of Thomas
Cregan to fill that important position
Mr.. Luke may be justly proud of the
fine condition in which he leaves the
bank for we may safely say that no banl
in the county is in better financial stand
ing and this is entirely due to hi
excellent management. Mr. Cregar

iormer ail-Amorlcan hnlf'back OF
hrown univsraity, n the present plaus
OF big colleges and universities go
through.
DR.. Mccarthy believes that the
last season has shown the big col
leges that under tho present rules
they do not have the advantage given
them by former rules and he scents
q movement 20 nulllfy the regulations
now in effect. Mr.. Mccarthy points
TO numerous defeats ana ties OF large
teams east and west as proof of the
fact thar the present rules tend TO
equalize playing conditions and con-
duce TO fairness.
The big colleges have begun the
agitation to cut down the distance to
be gained ON three downs said Dr.
Mccarthy. II thought this would
come. The blg collcges have been
beaten 30 repeatedly lately that they
wish to return TO old conditions. 1
called attention last year TO this
movement. Thay did succeed in
maiming the forward pass by unfair
legislation.
n warn the colleges that II the
plans OF the big colleges go through,
football Will bocomc Iioge dangerous.
The way 10 make Il more interesting
without being made more dangerous
Is TO take some OF the restrictions
away from tho forward pass. With
the present representation ON the
rules committee the situation 10
mighty dangerous"
Or. Mccarthy declared the reduced
list Of accidents this year IL com
mentary enough In favor OF leaving
the rules as they are.
