HIGH SCHOOLERS
TO DEBATE AGAIN
COnquer6rs of Elsie Team Meet
st. Louis Forensic Artists
at Alma.

The Alma High School debating
team consisting of Phil Lewis, John
Holmes and Elliott Crooks, which
last week won 3 to verdict over
the Elsie High team, is slated for
another debate next week, meeting
st. Louis High here on Friday, De-
cember II, the same question as the
one Of the Elsie debate, being the
subject for the forensic contest.
st. Louis is reported to have a
strong team, and is expected to put
up far stronger argument on the
negative side of the question than
did the Elsie team.
1t is being hoped that far larger
crowd will attend the coming debate
than was present at last weeks con-
test. The local school has a fine de-
batting team and it is entitled to re-
ceive considerable support in its eff
forts to bring further debating hon
ors to Alma High.

c. ii. Washburn Says Organization
Is Needed If City Maintains II.

In communication from the First
State Bank of this city, relative to
the needs of a real Chamber of Com
merce in Alma, Carl II. Washburn
says that it is necessary TO have
such an organization if the COM
munity is to maintain its reputation
as a good city in which men, women
and children, may live and develope
satisfactory characters.
The letter is short, but full Of
meat. Read it.
Alma, Mich, Noy. 20, 1920
If Alma is to continue to develop
desirable industrial, social, and moral
conditions and maintain its reputa-
tion as a good city in which men,
women I'D children may really live
and develop satisfactory characters,
an aggressive, democratic Chamber
Of Commerce under the right kind
of management is as desirable for
the adult population sis the public
school for the education of its child
rem and young people. Every family
living here and accepting the bene-
fits which this community offers
may invest $500 annually to a very
good advantage in the maintenance
of such an organization, which will
enable us to do collectively or by
thoroughly organized team work
that which we could not do as in
dividuals.

Some few weeks ago the Alma

without any announcement being
made by them.
The modest bakers are Just as

MEMBERSHIPS
ARE NEEDED
Red Cross Seeking More Alma
Residents as Members
for 1921.
DESERVING OF WIDE SUPPORT
Considerable Portion of Fund That is
Secured is To Be Used in
Local Work.

Is your name on the Red Cross
Membership Roll for 1921?
If it is not, perhaps you do not
fully realize how necessary an agent
for the betterment Of the world in
general. the Red Cross is today.
Every adult should renew his MEM
bership in the Red Cross, because it
will out of harmony with the origi-
nal spirit and purpose of the Red
Cross, not to render the utmost serv-
ice TO the men who went to the great
war, as long as such service is ne
cessary; because the Red Cross
must answer Humanity's call, by
continuing relief work in other coun-
tries; because the Red Cross must
stand prepared to meet any emergen-
cy from disaster by fire, flood,
storm or sickness; because the Red
Cross is cooperating with other
agencies for information and in
formation and instruction.
As to the first reason why one
should join. The work with our
sailors and soldiers and their fam
lilies, is far from finished, for 49,
wounded and sick are still in the
hospitals, and 1900 are still in
Germany, on treacherous soil. Who
can estimate the length of time ne
cessary to bring our service to them
to a successful conclusion?
Again, Mr. Livingston Fsrrand,
chairman of the executive committee
Of the Red Cross, who has just re-
turned from Europe, describes the
conditions there most graphically,
stating that 100000 children, left
fatherless or orphaned from the war,
must receive outside help. From 3
to millions will be without decent
shelter or care, while yet other mil
lions are undernourished and under
developed physically and mentally,
making the situation most grave. DR..
Farrand continues:
"It is evident that the Red Cross
can not withdraw from Europe, but
must stay and help save her children
and fight disease"
The third reason why needs no re-
mark As to the fourth it is ia this
end the Red Cross has a great pro-
gram TO conserve the health, in our

Everyone interested in the Alma
Chamber of Commerce can attend
this function in the high school gym
nasium. Tickets are procurable from
any of the workers of the two regi-
ments that are still seeking member
ships for the Chamber of Commerce,
or they may be obtained at Murphy's S
drug store, Brunner's drug store, or
at the Wright House.
The committee in charge of the
program is working with a vim, and
promises some real addresses for the
evening. First and foremost, the
committee has secured the services
of Colonel Gansser, who was to
speak here week ago and then was
forced to cancel the engagement.
Such a man is certainly an appro-
pirate speaker for a Victory banquet.
Born in Germany, this leader of the
32nd Michigan, which won such
fame on the soil of Europe, proved
himself beyond question, and was
honored by his government for his
services in the war. Born in Ger
many, and one of those officers, who
was not expected to be able to get
across because of this fact, he pulled
the strings. He went to France and
did a noble work for America. Such
man is the principal speaker.
Harry Gerber, the president of the
organization, who has been devoting
nearly all of his business hours to
the Chamber of Commerce for some
weeks, is to speak. Thanks" will
be his topic. II. f. Reece, that hust-
ling little manager of the better, big
ger Alma concern, will have some
thing important to say regarding
"What the Membership Should Ex-
pect." w. w. Cushing, a third local
speaker, is a real pep artist, and
those who attend will get some,
without a question, in his remarks on
"Carry On"
The committee in charge of the
program for the big event consists
of Carl j. Milliken, chairman; Or
vile Allen, and Merrill Stuckey. C.

; Today they are at it again, with
with more vim and pep than ever.
They simply will not be denied in
their efforts to react the goal which
was set at 500 members before the
drive comes to an end with the big
Victory banquet Friday night. A few
of the workers this morning were
predicting that the 400 mark would
be passed by noon today, but the
more conservative, feeling that the
ground is now fairly we'll covered,
think that there must be some still
greater efforts put forth in the clos
ing day or two of the drive if it is
10 be brought to a successful con-
clusion, which Of course must be the
topping of the goal that was set for
the workers when the campaign
opened.
The conservative workers, probb-
ably are more near right in their es-
innate of the work still remains to
be done before the campaign is
brought 10 an end. Workers and
teams have been busy in every part
of the city. and much Of the ground
has been gone over carefully, and
from now until Friday night it will
be case of hunting out prospects,
who so far have not been seen, or to
uncover Alma residents who should
be in the organization that in some
way were overlooked when the pros
pect lists were made out.
II is certain that the first three
hundred memberships will be much
easier secured by the workers than
will the last two hundred, because Of
this reason. and until the goal has
been reached the workers are eau
toned by the committee to keep up
the pep that they have been showing,
and to dig in" every minute that
they possibly can between now and
Friday when the drives comes TO an
end, if it is to be made the success
that everyone is now hoping for and
expecting. Nothing less will do, be-

FROSh AND SOPHS
ARE STILL UNBEATEN
Interclass Basketball Title Clash
to BE Fought Out by
These Teams.

The Freshman and Sophomore
class teams in the race for the inter
class basketball championship at
Alma college are continuing, the fast
pace that they set in the first games
last week, and both by virtue of VIC
tories Tuesday night, are still tied
for the leadership in the title race,
each having victories over the Jun
iors and Seniors.
The Frosh aggregation, Kirker,
Arbaugh, Page, Hudson and Cath
cart, met the Juniors Tuesday night
and had an easy time scoring three
points to every one for the Third
Year men, taking the game by a
score of ~ to a. Both teams put up
strong games, but the Juniors were
outclassed from the first and there
was never any doubt as to the final
result. Kirger, Arbaugh and Cath
cart displayed some fine basketball
knowledge, and evidence of good
floor work, although the team has
mad little work. The three men are
looked upon as among the finest
prospects Of the Freshman class and
are counted upon as strong contend
ers for the Varsity team.
The luckless Seniors had some
more of their poor luck in the game
with the Sophs Tuesday, and in spite
Of the fine work of Hawk" French
were able to score lust one poinl
against the Second Year men. TIE
Sophs, led by Beattie's scoring at
tack, proved far too strong for the
team from the High Brow class,
winning with ease, the final score
being 10 to /.
The final games of the series, the
Juniors and Seniors for the cellar
title, and the Sophomores and the
Frosh for the interclass champion
ship, will be staged, probably on
Thursday Of next week.
