Eagle Hi Defeats Three
Lakes by ShutOut Route
BOYS TOOK GAME FROM THREE
LAKES 21-0--GlRLS TIED
ARGONNE FRIDAY

Showing decided improvement over
their first appearance of the season
couple of weeks ago, the Eagle
River High School basketball team
swept the floor for an easy victory
over the Three Lakes quint here last
Friday. shutting the visitors out by a
score OF 81 to O.
The score would indicate that the
game was too one-sided to be interest
ing, which might have been the case
in the first half when the locals piled
up Is points. But the second half
told different story Eagle changed
it's lineup which made the game.
even, with the result that the locals
were held to three additional points
Three Lakes was handicapped by
the fact that they are practically
breaking in a new team, graduation
last spring taking most of their old
men. But they play good game at
that and time and again worked the
ball down under the baskets. with
team work that will develop nicely
as the season advances. They were
weak on finding the basket. Had they
been better in that phase of the game
they would have made neat score,
because they had plenty of chances,
specially in the last half.
With the game safely won in the
first half Coach Kracht did the right
thing by running in all the remaining
members of his squad. The score
shows that he used ten mer-two
teams-during the game. This is the
right idea. 1t is a good plan to work
in all available material in actual
games. 1t keeps up the interest of
the squad and gives them experience
that Will prove valuable in future
years as the upper classmen are grad
uated. The local school is fortunate
in having material enough for two
teams that are able to hold their own
against all teams scheduled for this
season. In addition there is a whole
flock of youngsters that get in the
practice, all of which means that flu
ture teams will be drawn from mater
ial that has had some experience.
The score book gives the game as
follows:

With the close of the War Red
| fighters did not end but on the CON
trary increased. The Ninth Annual
Roll Call of the American Red Cross
will be held again this year from Arm

through whose interest and support
the great work of adjusting our co.,
try's defenders to normal life can
be carried on, together with the other
peace time activities of the Red Cross
Many returned from the war broken
in body and spirit. Through the assis-
lance OF the Red Cross thousands of
ex-serVice men in need of medical at
tention are being cared for and their
home difficulties adjusted.
Formerly Red Cross activities in
Army hospitals were confined to re-

A growing appreciation OF the i'm
Lcrtance of socl i work on the part
Of doctors in COY ernment hospitals
and of it's val1e as a medical aid has
been observed with satisfaction. In
the old days al doctor did his own So
cial work, knowing the intimate his
tories of his clientele and administer
ing personally to their social as well
as medical needs. However, in this
later more scientific age when doc
tor only sees as it we're a cross-sec-
ton of his patient, medical men are
more and more of the opinion that
the social worker is indispensable as
a supplement to their professional
technique
When the Red Gross first inaugural
ed trained social work in Government
hospitals it was met with the fndif-
ference that naturally arose from
lack of understanding However, the
results of this educational process
have convinced doctors of the import

and are most gratifying.

| rapidly increasing appreciation on the
part of hospital authorities of what
the Red Cross is trying to do thru
this phase of it's program. Instead of
placing SO much importance upon mo-
ton pictures and programs given
by outside groups, the Red Cross is
now trying to emphasize informal part
les, amateur theatricals, orchestra
work, community singing, ct cetera, in
which the patients themselves take
an active part. Recreation is further
more being adapted to special disabili
ties. and therefore the particular
needs of the patients.
For infirmary patients in general,
hospitals and patients in tuberculosis
hospitals a passive form Of recreation
is necessary and therefore modified
type of recreation has developed for
those who are shut away from the
outside world. Among neuropsychiat.
rio patients amateur theatricals and
music are found to- have most cura-
tive effect The great value to all
hospitals of these forms of recreation
is recognized and it is particularly
true OF n. P. patients. In many hospit
alsan orchestra made up of patients
goes from ward to ward playing for
the other patients with splendid re-
suits. Often patients who are in roma
when they enter the hospital respond
first only to music.
An example of what recreation will
do for a psychiatric is the story of a
patient who entered an N P. hospital
seemingly without interest in anything
No suggestion whatever could arouse
spark of understanding or sympathy
From the social history of the patient
it was learned that he had formerly
played tennis a great deal and when
the worker asked him if he would not
care to play a game of tennis he re.
sponded Immediately From that time
on he has played enthusiastically and
his condition shows great improve
ment. This also demonstrated the
value of the social history as with
out it the worker might never have
CHANGED upon the interest of tennis
with which she aroused him from his
lethargy
One form of constructive recreation
is the making of posters and cartoons
by patients as announcements of week
ly activities. This method of directing
the life force of men into construc.
tive normal channel is often the
means of freeing whatever obstacle
exists in the consciousness of the pa
tients and results in the absorption
and complete eradication of the diff
Guilty.
A growing interest in Junior Red
Cross activities has developed in Gov.
eminent hospitals through the gifts
of Juniors at Christmas time and at
other holiday seasons. Last Christmas
the members of the Junior Red Cross
furnished a large proportion of the
Christmas greens used at number of
! Government hospitals In many chap
! ters it was definite Junior project
to have trees cut down and then made
by hand into wreaths. These artistic
and beautiful decorations contributed
greatly to the holiday cheer at the hos
pitfalls, which received them.

years ago, books in the library have
doubled in number every twenty
years. The total now is 100000 and
every year $4,000 books are added,

This proves that organization and

Buckle is said to have read $4,000
