LEST WE FORGET"

Mr.. Editor:
Memorial Sunday in the Cong'l
church a union service of our two
local churches was held in memory
of those men aad women who gave
up their lives at the call of the
country or who, returning from
war, have since passed to join their
former comrades. A crowded church
was the least evidence of apprecia-
tion that we townspeople could give
their survivors, but | noticed many
empty pews.
On Monday Afternoon the annual
Memorial Day exercises were held in
the Opera Hall. Again, a crowded
hall should have greeted the thin
ming ranks of the G A r as they
marched in. | think that not more
than fifty people were present.
Mr. Editor, l wish to protest
against that ingratitude or thought
lessness that permits such a condi-.
ton of affairs in our town. | do not
know, Of course, what personal af-
fairs kept individual people away
from these services, but / do not
thing that very many people had
any reason for absenting themselves.
If a town like ours, a town where
almost all the people are OF real
American stock, a town in a State
that has the glorious past that Yer
mont has, a town in that section of
our country that has the splendid
that New England has,
If such a town gives such a shameful
Of lack of reverence and
honor to its hero dead and the |
causes for which they fought and /
sacrificed, what can we expect of |
those metropolitan districts, with |
their large foreign population and |
those newer sections Of our nation !
with less inspiring past?
| do not particularly object to
pleasures and recreations and sports
on our national holiday of memory
and mourning, but I do feel that we
could find time during the day to
pay a proper homage to our fallen
heroes. feel, Mr.. Editor, that we
should look upon this not only as
duty but as a precious privilege. l
am, for one, ashamed Of Bradford in
this respect I DO not think that we
should permit ourselves again to re-
member so poorly Memorial Day.

Pete Young Dies
At this Place
WAS PI0NEEER OF THIS SECTION
AND WAS OVER NINETY
YEARS OF AGE

Matthias (Pete) Young, pioneer of
this section, passed away at the Car
son Valley hospital Friday, to which
institution he had been taken a day or
two previous to his death.
Deceased would have been "a years
of age on the 18th of next June. Com
ing from Quaker stock, he was born
in the state of Pennsylvania. His
mother died when he was two days
old, and lacking mothers care, he
was set adrift at an early age. He
came west during the gold boom of
California and tried his fortunes in
placer mining in Ell Dorado county.
California. Success did not follow
this venture and he took up teaming,
which he followed for many years and
freighted into Bodie in the early days
of that camp. While driving team he
acquired the name of "Buckskin Pete, -
later in life the "Buckskin" being
dropped but the name of Pete clung
to him until death, although his true
name was Matthias Young.
A day or SO before his death, he
sent for Rev. Willis and asked to be
baptized, realizing that because of
his mothers death, that he probably
had never had the sacred rite perform
ed. Rough and ready as he was
Pete Young was of good character and
at the age of SO years he was baptized,
acknowling his belief In God and
prayed for the deliverance of his soul
to Him that gave 1t.
Until last summer this hale and
hearty did manual labor for a living.
While thus employed he had the mis-
fortune to break his leg in a runa-
way accident Since that time he had
lived in Gardnerville
AS far as was known by him he had
no living relatives. The funeral serv-
ice were held Saturday, Rev. Willis
officiating. Interment took place in

Hospital Needs
Your Support
WRITER SUGGESTS THAT AN
EFFORT SHOULD BE MADE
TO GIVE ASSISTANCE

Our little Carson Valley Hospital at
Gardnerville, belongs to the people
and there should not be an hour In
the day when 1t is in trouble for want
of funds or support. Opening on Oc-
tober 5th of this year, after a closed
period. the people hailed the coming
of the nurses with great pleasure and
pride. The first month was quite
successful, and very encouraging to
the management, but each succeeding
month has shown falling off, so
that the past two months have shown
a loss. after expenses were met.
This should not be. In a COM
munity of this size, and with the
surrounding country to draw from,
and no hospital nearer that Reno,
there should ordinarily be enough
sick people needing hospital care to
warrant and maintain our excellent
little institution. But this seems to
be a healthy year and we should re-
joice OF course that this Is the case
But what of our hospital Must II
close again? What Is to be done?
What Is being done elsewhere under
similar conditions One has but to
read the various publications devoted
to hospitals and their work, hospital
magazines. ETC., to find that all over
this broad land, people are support
ing these important institutions which
render a valuable service to suffering
humanity. 1t is a merciful service;
a Christian service and as worthy of
support as church.
At one town way back In Vermont
they organized a Ways and Means
Committee OF the Woman's Auxiliary
Committees were appointed and they
organized and carried out successful
ly, entertainment such as tea party
card party baseball game. food sale.
dance, minstrel show. movie show.
pledges and cash donations and the
beneficient institution was enabled to
continue its noble work.
Can we not all get together and do
something encouraging and substan-
tial for our hospital?
A FRIEND.

BASKETBALL GAME
HERE LAST FRIDAY
Douglas Girls Defeat the
Carson cam, Home
Boys Trimmed

At the high school auditorium last
Friday evening. the Douglas boys
met defeat at the hand of Carson by
a score of 26 to 10, while the home
girls evened up the score by defeat
ing their opponent by a score of IA to
IL.
While the score was very one-sided
1t did not mean that the game was un-
interesting. The Carson girls were
little smaller that the Douglas girls,
but they were full of play and fought
every inch of the ground stubornly.
The boys team, while defeated in
all games played thus far this year,
are showing up in good shape and
before the season is ended will turn
defeat into victory. The team is made
up of good timber and is fast being
whipped into line by the coach, and at
Fridays game they showed great i'm
provment since meeting Reno.
