CELEBRATE. EASTER
 QUIETLY IN RUSSIA
Despite Heavy Snowstorms At Moscow and Leningrad Great Throngs
  Filled the Churches

Moscow, April 2a.-Easter (under the Julian calendar) was celebrated quietly throughout Russia Sunday. AL though heavy snowstorms prevailed in Moscow and Leningrad, great throngs of the faithful assembled in the churches at midnight and observed the holy day in traditional Russian orthodox fashion, without interfer- ence from the anti-religious bodies, the atheistic organizations of young communists confining their activities this year to their clubs.
 The few Americans in Moscow Struggled through a blinding snow storm to attend services at one of the smaller churches. The congregations at the old orthodox churches were noticeably larger than those under the domination of the living church.
 To Moscow's poor. Easter brought no new happiness. for with it came renewed cold and snow. Their suf- ferings are intensified by high prices for clothing and the lack of housing accommodating. Long lines gathered in the deep snow outside the crowded churches bearing candles, crucifxes and ikons, their melancholy. wasted figures illuminated by the fickering tapers standing out like phantoms in the midnight snow.
 The tongues of the great bells in the churches of the Kremelin were strangely mute but hundreds in other churches in various parts of the city rang out while the devout poor knelt. After the Patriarch had given his blessing the crowds made their way to their darkened homes, carrying their lighted candles and sprigs of willow which had been sprinkled with holy water.

for pastoral service has an immense advantage over that paying sl,00o a year." Dr. Vogt said. "The influ- ence of the size Of the pocketbooks of the church membership tends to take precedence over the service to be rendered. The year book Of the church publishes a list of churches paying from s5.000 to s15,0o0, and none of these are rural churches"
 A tendency to gauge personal suc- cess by the salary grade instead of by service 10 the church has devel- oped. Dr. Nogt asserted. He main tained that the rural church was being drained Of it's best leadership by the strong attraction of city churches. and that is membership vas seriously weakened by the drift of population 10 the cities.

The Game Over
At the conclusion of the second
half Fallon held the score of 22 to
Is and the game and championship
was theirs 1t is conceded to have
been the best basketball so far play
ed in Nevada, and Fallon won it.
To the Coaches
While all the hurrah is in the air
it is necessary to call attention to
the fact that the Fallon players were
rounded up and put in shape by their
coach, Noble Waite, and 1t was his
clever coaching and hard work that
won the state football championship
last fall.
The girls were under the able di-
rection and coach work of Miss Clin-
ton, and she is entitled to more than
RAISING notice in her management of
her squad that made 1t possible to
bring home the cups.
Much should be said in relation
to the debating and defamation en-
tries. as this is a new feature in this
high school. The more than honor
able mention of the Fallon debators
and the winning of the defamation
contest by Miss Betty Shaw has add
ed additional honors to the school
