Burton School Notes
Burton Bows to vashon.

Although they outplayed their
opponents all through the game
making twenty-one first downs to
their opponents one. Burton lost
its grid contest to Vashon. BY a
lucky break Vashon jumped TO the
lead in The first quarter and held
it through the game. As the score
indicates, the game was close and
packed with thrills. Two hundred
spectators took advantage of the
ideal football weather and packed
the sidelines.
The game in summary;
Ward intercepted a Burton pass
in the first quarter and ran forty
yards to a touchdown. Ward
failed to convert his drop kick.
Burton plunged its way to
Vashon's five yard line but lost
the bali on a tumble.
Soon after the start of the
second quarter Church, Burton
tackle and Ward, Vashon fullback,
were sent out of the game by ref
cree Henry on the charge of UNI
necessary roughness.
Vashon, during the third and
fourth quarters, was always punt
ing in the shadow of its own goal
posts but managed to squirm away
from the on rushing attack Of the
Burton men. Toward the end OF

WESTINGHOUSE
LETTER N$5
~lN 81

WASHINGTON. - The Fall Sinclair
jury, like most jufies, is an ordinary
jury. 1t is noteworthy that in Wash
ington, where nearly everyone seems
to be working for the government, no
federal employees are among the H.
In fact, the defense was very careful
to ask all prospective jurors not only
whether they ever had worked for the
government, but whether they had any
relatives employed by the government.
The non-government employe in
Washington is a peculiar individual,
taking him in the mass. He has no
particular interest in either local gov
ernment, for he has no part in them.
Perhaps that is why few of the jurors
ever paid much attention to the news
papers in general or the oil scandal
cases in particular.
The government emplOye generally
reads his or her newspaper, even if
it's only the hometown newspaper sent
on by the folks. And in government
departments, especially in the navy
and in terror departments, there is
much interest in the all-Doheny Sin
clair cases which is not to be found
among ordinary citizens of the capital.
Miss Bernice Heaton and Mrs. An
nella Bailey are on the jury partly
because they wanted to be on it. Jury
duty for women is optional in the
District of Columbia, but these two
were anxious to give it try. AS they
were being examined they strained OBJ
viously to make good impression and
avoid saying anything that might dis
qualify them.
st think it will be wonderful eX
perience," remarked Bernice after she
had been seated, and Mrs Bailey
agreed that she, too, was thrilled.
Photographers had hard time get
ting a picture of the jury. First the
court and the chief marshal ruled that
no such picture could be taken on the
courthouse grounds. Then the jurors
advised that they must not be in each
others company b be TIVE EN- sessions,
which meant that each one proceeded
from the courthouse and across the
grounds in different directions Worse
still. it rained for the first two or
three days after the jury was picked,
making it impossible for the camera
boys to round up the jurors and make
them stand still.
At a noon recess, one juror-who is
trying a multi-millionaire in case
involving many millions - explained
carefully that he couldn't afford TO
wait for posed group picture be-
cause he must get home for lunch
and couldn't afford to buy his meal
in restaurant.

Fruitful Prayer

Fifty years ago the pulpit of New
England took free hand in cleo
tions. The clergy manifested prefer
ences and dislikes as clearly as pos
sible without calling names.
Father Taylor, the famous seaman
preacher of Boston, was particularly
outspoken. On an occasion in which
the exciting contest was on temper
ance, Father Taylor wrestled with the
Lord in prayer after this fashion:
"Oh, Lord, give us good men to
rule over us-pure men who fear
Thee, religious men, temperate men
men whom we can trust, men whom
pshaw, Oh, Lord! what's the use OF

Billy the waiter is we'll known all

he had served a whole chicken to a
patron, he was summoned in voice
that left no doubt as to the nature
of the impending conversation:
"I ordered whole chicken" chal-
lenged the customer, "and the darn
thing hasn't any wishbone."
,"Quite right, quite right" agreed
Billy "You see, sir, it was con-
tented chicken and had nothing to

THE URBAN1TE's DILEMMA


A scientist says that the sky line

1 used to believe that the taxis.
Delivery wagons and trucks,
The furniture vans and the polished
sedans
And the two storied busses de luxe,
Were rapidly serving to scatter
such moderate wits as / had
And / cherished the fear that inside
Of year
Their menace would drive me quite
mad
But I soon learned to dodge them
SO ninlbly
That 1 lost all my former alarm
That the iuggernaut wheels of great
automobiles
Would do me some serious harm
Conveyed by traffic policeman
1 looked at them all with disdain;
When year rolled around I was
mentally sound
Or, in other words perfectly sane
Then the clamor of riveting hammers,
The clashing Of girders Of steel
Broke IN on my ears and awakened
fresh fears
That my senses were certain to
feel.
But anon I was deaf to the discord
And shortly grew perfectly sure
That I'd shortly begin to get used
to the din
And my reason, perhaps, would
endure.
But now have found that the sky

So jagged, so high, so Immense
Albeit sublime, will destroy in due
time
The faculty known as sound sense.
