University Pastor at Ithaca,
NJ v

/ Rev. James A. Perry, pastor of the
Methodist church at Bennington VT,
has decided not to accept the univer-
sity pastorate at Cornell university a
position to which he was recommend
ed and which he was authorized to
take by Bishop William Burt of the
Methodist conference. The decision
of Rev. Mr.. Perry was reached last
night, and in communication with The
Troy Record over the telephone the
clergyman made known his determi-
nation to forego larger salary and
continue in charge of his pastorate in
Bennington Rev Mr. Perry is a
former pastor of Grace Methodist
church, in this city, and has number
OF friends and acquaintances here,
The clergyman went to Ithaca Sat
urday and returned to Bennington a
day or so ago after having become
thoroughly acquainted with the duties
and possibilities of the position of
university pastor, and it was not until
he had time to give the call due and
calm consideration that he decided
not to leave his present charge Many
factors, the principal of which was
his desire to remain in the Vermont
town to carry on the work he has
started, had bearing on his decision.
The position of university pastor at
state Universities is being established
in the movement bringing religious ed
ucation into the curriculum of the
state university, the various Protest
ant denominations arranging to have
pastor of their respective denomina-
ton at each university to care for the
students OF their denominations in at
tendance. The duties of the clergy
man will be to work among the stud
ents Of their denominations In religi-
Gus endeavor and the cooperation of
the students in the work will be cleo
tive, that is, the time devoted to re-
1gious education will be counted in
the course which the students pursue
and time given to religious education

standing at the university.
The scheme provides three steps
for its completion, the first of which
is to secure the right man for the uni
versity center the second, the APP
polntment of a university pastor and
the third the establishment of courses
of religious education. These courses

At Cornell the class departments
have not yet been worked out. but it
is expected that they will soon be an

the system adopted and worked to sat.

ference, which recommended Rev. Mr.
Perry for the position at Cornell. will

giving day be wiped out, or merged
with a celebration of armistice day,
he will no doubt find that the people
OF Vermont will be strongly opposed to
the plan. The custom of celebrating
the harvest was established in New
England back in 1921 when the Pill
grim fathers rendered thanks for the
crops of the year, and it has been
kept with more or less regularity ever
since that time. Here in New Eng
land 1t is an almost sacred habit to
set aside the day albeit the signffic-
ance of the observance has been lost
sight of to a considerable extent;
and since the days of Civil war it has
been the practice of the presidents of
the United States to set aside the last
Thursday in November as Thanksgiv-
ing day, the governors Of the state
following suit in almost every case
To rob Thanksgiving day of its IN
diyiduality by merging it with an in
ternational event, such as the cele-
bration of the signing of the armis-
tice, would be to deprive Americans of
one of their finest traditions; and it
would be, to New Englanders, almost
a violation of the sacred things of the
past. 1t is well enough to honor the
first anniversary of the signing of the
by procaiming a holiday
and even TO perpetuate the annivers-
airy by setting aside day of celebra-
ton in the Years to come; but it is not

 OF AMERICANS

 We are sorry that we in this coun- many of the American land forces as we should have liked, owing to the exigencies of war Those of your men, however, who have resided with us have made countless friends among our people, and we shall al ways retain the happiest memories of their visit The standard of conduct which they have set has indeed been a high one, and we can only say that we hope they will take away with them some of those feelings of affec- tion which they have inspired during their sojourn with us"

WILDFOWL HAVE NO
DREAD OF BOMBS
Enjoy a Sanctuary With No
Fear of Shellshock.

BALTIMORE, Nd, Sept. 20.-Strange as
it may seem wildfowl have found a
sanctuary at the United States ordnance
testing station at Aberdeen, Md. where
practically every day cannon, mortars,
aerial torpedoes and bombs are fired.
Seemingly they are unafraid.
Col William 4, Phillips, commanding
officer at Aberdeen, writes his obscrva-
tions an wildfowl and shellshock to the
Maryland Conservation Commission as
follows:
"All the restricted area of land and
waters of the Aberdeen proving ground
has been formed into a refuge for game.
From all that l can ascertain there have
been large numbers of ducks, geese and
swan in the waters adjacent to tho prov
ing grounds.
"As they were not permitted to be
disturbed by hunters I believe they did
not fly as much as usual, and conse-
Quently the opportunity for hunters to
shoot them off the reservation has not
been so good as usual.
This game does not appear to be
disturbed by heavy artillery firing. as
imagine they take 1t more or less as n
thunder and lightning proposition and
very quickly find out that it is of but
little consequence to them.
81 believe that in n few years this
reservation will cause a decided increase
In the amount of game available. as II
will prevent the rapid and almost con-
tnuous determination of the game which
has been taking place"

PETE VIGEANT LAUDS
SOO'S RECORD TROUT
Veteran Angler in Widest
Stream Gets 8 3-4 Founder.

SAULT STE, MARIE, Mich. Sept. 90
Pete Nigeant the Soo's veteran angler,
landed the record rainbow trout of the
season, fishing in st, AIarys Rapids.
The rainbow weighed nine and three
quarter pounds and leaped into the air
more than dozen times. In speaking
OF his catch Pete said "Some fish.
some catch" 4 second large rainbow
landed by Pete weighed seven and half
pounds.
e. A. Ely OF Chicago hshed with Pete
and the Cadreau brothers piloted the
party to the fishing grounds in one Of
the big canoes which are used TO shoot
the rapids" on n jock Scott fly Mr.
Ely landed rainbow trout of five and
three-quarter pounds, but lost two other
big fish.
'Thos who want TO have the thrill
of tiTeir lives with big tiger rainbows
should come to the 500 and try out
the good old St. Mary's Rapids" de-
clares Pete.

"wildest angling in the world"

At every table 2 dealt and bid no
trump. At some he was opposed by n
bid of two hearts but always got the
contract in the end.
A led a small heart and h played the
queen, denying the Jack, and u winning
with the ace 1t is clear that in order
to make the most OF the diamonds
dummy must be able TO lead that suit
and to lead it twice.
The average player did not see just
how this was to be done without run
ming the risk of having the jack of
hearts led through, and all the hearts
making, SO the usual play was to lead
small spade, dummy winning with the
ace.
Those who did not know how TO play
the club situation then led the queen OF
1t TO the king. A came back with
spade and u won It Then he tried
underplaying the diamcrds with the ten.
I} won this trick and made three spades,
after which A made four hearts.
At another table, after winning the
first trick and putting dummy in with
spade. the declarer led the diamond
from dummy, and lost the tincsse Of the
ten 20 the king. \ put him in again
with a spade, and u then triedSto drop
the queen of diamonds by leading the
ace. 1lllS 1hlllllBt he ltu dHONHeI uld-
mond and was equally set for three
tricks.
When the good players got this hand
they realized that the danger of having
the hearts led through must be faced,
and on winning the first trick led a low
club from the ace to the queen. This
Is hoping the king is on the left of the
ace.
At one table a put the king right on
ard led a spade; at the other \ passed,
and the club queen won. No matter
which play is made, z must get his two
illnesses in diamonds, making four tricks
in that suit, two clubs, two spades and
the ace of hearts, which is three odd and
the game.
The difference between this and being
set for three or four tricks is the differ
ence between knowing how to play n
divided ace queen suit and not know
ing IL.

II A discards a spade ON the trump

stopper, Y leads the winning diamond,
so as to put the screws on b, who will
have to throw away the best spade
