These persons who believe Germany always has been

only her own aggrandzement and those persons whose

German menace probably VII take the stand that We
should nothing whatever TO do with Germany, even
to refusing her assistance in fighting bolshevism.
There IS, however another attitude quite honest
which is that Germany not bad holshevism
that rather than outwry and savagery spread
the world and bring country to chaos had
better accept -Germany's help.
You know the old saying: It takes crook to catch

The stranger to this church may

not; but it ought to be the plan of
their lives.
The Methodist church of Va

SCHOOL NOTES
BURTON
Basket Ball

Now is the time for rejoicing.
Burton Basket Ball fans stand
good chance of seeing their
dreams of Championship for
Burton" materialize. For differ
ent reasons Burton has been out
of the League for past two years.
This year, thru the efforts of their
principal, Mr.. Prichard, and
coach, Mr.. wye, they secured
place in the League. Last Friday
night the two teams more than re-
paid these two for their efforts by
winning both games from Auburn.
In the initial game OF the
League, the Burton high school
girls team won from Aupuln by a
score of 1910. ] am not saying
that Burton has the best team, but
this assertion | would like to
make: That the fighting spirit
which the Burton girls showed
against Auburn was more than a
match for the over-confdence
which they exhibited. Burton play
ed strong, defensive game at all
times, and have two guards which
will be hard to beat anywhere.
The center for Burton had little
trouble in" getting the balloon the
jump, and together with the side
center played up well to the two
forwards, who did more than their
best in "caging the ball. y
Put 'er there, girls, we re proud
of you!
The boys, not to be outdone by
the girls, but probably inspired
little by their victory, next pro-
ceedcd to take their game from
Auburn, also. After hard-fought
10 minutes, in which there were
many thrills, Burton was declared
winner by the score of 29-19. The
game surely was goo' one, and
| know the best team WIN. There
were no individual stars but in
stead a well-balanced team with
teamwork, good shooting eyes and
chucked full of that Never say
die" spirit which was already dis
played by the girls.
Burton people have right to
be proud, land the school want them
to show their feeling by their sup
port thruout the rest of the sea
son. Everybody, help boost the
teams at all times and help do the
impossible. "
Being double championship to
Burton the next League game will
be with Enumclaw, at Enumclaw,
on Jan. 9th. Remember the date
and help the teams by being there
in person to root for them.
