AND HOW, WHO
DISCOVERED
AMERICA

Did Columbus really discover
America, or Is he just putting
something over on us, and how.
Perhaps we are not discovered at
all and don't know it, If not.
why not, and if so how come,
and how?
In other words Al Cahlan, pro-
gram chairman of the day at
the meeting of Las Vegas Rotary
Club this noon, put on a debate,
Resolved; That Columbus did
not discover America and does
not deserve the credit"
-Four high school boys under
the guidance of Miss Wilma
Squires of the high school faculty
carried on the debate. Abe Mil
Ter and VIM. Garrity spoke on
the affirmative and Calvin Corey
and Jack QUAD took the mega
tive. The boys put on such able
arguments on both sides of the
question that Leo McNamee and
Roy Martin, judges, straddled the
question by deciding that Colum-
bus did not discover America but
that he is entitled to the credit,
thus averting a condition ofciv-
il warfare.
Walter F .McLallen was intro
duced by Walter Bracken as the
--latest addition to the club mem
bership and was warmly welcomed
Among the guests present in
addition to the high school rep
resentatives. were Chet Gilbert,

finest bands in Los Angeles. The
uniform adopted will consist Of
white trousers, white shoes, blue

coming campaign, pennant winners
and tail enders will start for their

Florida again is the most popular
spot among the major league teams.
Five clubs from each league will
train there this spring. The Pirates
and Cubs will train at Paso Robes,
Cal, and Avalon, Catalina Islands,
respectively. The Cleveland Indians
will train at New Orleans and the
White Sox at Shreveport, La.
The Tigers are the only club 60

Florida to train in Ty Cobb's home
town of Augusta, Ga.
The Yankees, apparently no
stronger or weaker than last season,
look good enough to repeat in the
American League.
The National League is something
