SOCIAL SERVICE UNION
APPEALS FOR FUNDS

The Social Service Union of Mar
tinsburg is making strong appeal
to the people of the city. asking them
to help support the Union and give
lit the funds which it needs If it is
going to continue its good work.
One of the officers said last evening:
"In FIVE years OF relief work among
the poor of Martinsburg this associa-
ton has never faced more serious
outlook than that for the coming
winter War needs and war giving
have heavily taxed the resources of
the people who usually give. it is
Itiue. but we are confident that these
people realize the vital needs for
continuing the work OF the Union and
will make special effort to assist.
I'VE hear SO much about the relief
of foreign peoples just now that we
are apt to forget the unfortunate
right at our own doors. There are
many families without breadwinners
and these families must not be al.
lowed to suffer
WE hope the good people OF Mar
itnsburg will not lose sight of the
| fact that relief costs much more than
! it did, They will give we are conf.
dent and prevent the suffering of their
less fortunate neighbors right here
at home"
Those wishing to give are request
ed to send their contributions to Mr..
Walter w. Trout at the Peoples Trust
Company.

lean game of football teaches us
nothing il it does not build up our
spirit. College spirit, bred of foot

this spirit of the American forces
is nothing more than college spirit
OF a high and nobler order.
Football teaches courage, con-
troll, stiek-to-itiveness and to no
small degree the ability to use
ones brain in every emergency. A
football player is not good soldier,
but football player has that with

rial for the game OF war, for with
all these qualities he possesses
strength and endurance. That he
is successful in war is a we'll

All of these points combined
make me firm in the belief that
football is the best physical train
ing for the soldier. 1t beats boxing
because in boxing one faces but
one opponent. In football and in
war the odds are often greater.

~VXIHEN one who hasn't been
wv to the front lines Is asked
why football fits a man
for the job he has to do Over
There he has to get down to facts
TO prove the point. There are two
outstanding facts to prove the cause
OF football in this war.
First, the wholesale voluntary
enlistment of varsity players tho
country over.
Second. the splendid record Of
these same men A. officers and
fighting men. OF course. there is
the third fact. that the Government
approves of football, but this is due
more to the record Of football men
at the front than to a theory that
football is 0. X.
Must be Better Man
Nov when we get down to the
reason why football n fine sport
for army men we have to look into
the game and the similarity be-
tween the sport and war itself
There are few broad principles
governing the two. In each the Sc
cret of success lies in the concen.
tration of the most men at q given
point at proper time. And in each
the individual who overcomes his
