Sale of War Savings Stamps Sur

Wedding of Miss Alice Mccormack 2 and Edward Lent Tomorrow

 Notes of Interest.

The sale of thrift and war saving stamps in the local schools for the past school year has been record breaking. During the war. everyone was jealous Tn getting the stamps to help finance the government. All were moved by a spirit of patriotism. Now that the war is over and the patriotic fervor has cooled, there has been a notable decrease all over the country In the sale of thrift and war savings stamps. The government maintains a force of men to keep up the interest in this work, and even their influence cannot stem the cbb of the tide of indifference towards this work. But in the Berlin schools the sale of these stamps continues in SO active fashion that Berlin must be pointed out as an exception to the general decline of interest.
 The total sale Of thrift and war sav- tngs stamps of all the schools amount cd to si.246.95. While this sum Is about $500 less than the war record it is 500 more than the sale during the preceding year. Berlin took sec ond place among the cities and towns of the state during tho past year in the sale of these stamps. Indications from other cities show that the sales have been decreasing considerably so that 1t looks as though Berlin would capture nrst place this year. Superintendent of Schools B. R. Sho- waiter Is gratiied that such a splen- did showing has been made. Over 50 per cent. of the children purchased stamps. MT. Showalter stated today that he was especially pleased, not so much at the amount of the sales made, but because of the fact that habits of thrift were being inculcated in tho children.
 The record for the respective schools follow: Hubbard school of East Berlin sio4: selden school 330.75: worthingtCn school s519.1S: South school t137.so; Blue Hills school si7.5o: Ledge school s31.9s; Percival school si23.5o: Kensington school s2s4'

Carbonate defeated the Black

one on the grounds Of the latter,
Sunday. in the opening game Of
the Mcmillan cup soccer series.
Not for many years has there
been so much enthusiasm around
the sidelines OF the coal town field
as there was yesterday. but the
strong defense Of the visitors stood
the test and carried the long end
OF the score back to Carbonate.
The inclusion of several stars

new interest in soccer circles in

diggers took the field.

nation of the attack was a source
OF trouble to the home defense.
Davis, the elusive center. twice
outwitted the Black Diamond backs
and placed Carbonate with a 20
lead at half.time.
With the resumption OF play the
homesters took up the running and
peppered the visitors goalkeeper
with shots from all angles, but
Banks was invincible.
A run on the right by Byers near
ly put the Carbonadoe further
ahead. Hannus' shot missing by
inches.
Excitement was at fever heat
when Thompson finally succeeded in
beating Banks, but that was as far
as the scoring went and so we find
the pennant-winning Carbonate
squad out In the lead for more
honors.
According to gossip around local
soccer quarters the Duthie shipyard
will put team in the race at to-
morrow nights meeting. making a
threecornered race.
