spring training at Catalina Island
on February II, President William
Veeck announced upon his arrival
here for a months vacation. The
Cubs will remain on the island un-
Ill March 13 before invading Los
Angeles for exhibition series with
the Angels.
Veeck had plenty to say about
the prospects of his outfit First
of all, the Cubs will face four
tough clubs in the Giants, Pirates,
Cardinals and Robins.
Reports that Rogers Hornsby,
new playing manager, faced dis
sention in the ranks were laughed
off by Veeck Charley Grimm, he
added, will remain as first base
man, and that no trade involving
Jim Bottomley is contemplated.
Riggs Stephenson has recovered his
throwing arm and will be back in
the outfield.

ACTIVITIES AT CENTRAL UNION

In the Latin III class the projects
which are to be submitted to P. E. o.
on the subject of Virgil are fin
ished. Most of these take the form
of notebooks, but Margaret Hill has
made on a board about one yard
square, a relief map of Italy and
Greece with the adjacent islands.
The countries are colored and the
board is decorated SO the whole is
very attractive.
No restrictions were imposed upon
the students by Mrs. Keller, who
only offered suggestions from time
to time. Consequently the notebooks
are varied and some achieve unusual
effects. Roberta Ferguson has
among other things in her book,
some original drawings. Kathryn
Jones made some colorful borders
with gilt work. Bill Tondros is a
very finished piece of work. Those
made by Orlynn Hartzell and Mel
vim Wilby are worthy of mention.
This work will be submitted to P.
E. O. for judgment and prizes.
Work on La Solana, the high
school year book, is ahead of where
it was last year at this time, accord
ing to Mrs. Keller, the editorial ad-
visor.
The staff is making great efforts
to get in as much material to the
engravers as possible before January
IS, because there is discount on
all work which goes to them before
that date. All the division pages
and the panels of individual pic

SHARKEY MIGHT
Be CHOSEN AS
new CHAMPION
BY HENRY McLEMORE
United Press Staff COrreSDOnden


NEW YORK, Jan. 7. U.P)-Jack
Sharkey of Boston, the unluckiest
and at the same time the luckiest
fighter in the business, may emerge
from the tangled heavyweight sit
uation as champion of the world.
That is, the portion of the world
ruled by the New York Boxing
commission.
When the commissioners took it
upon themselves yesterday to sus-
pend Max Schmeling and strip him
of his royal robes, they paved the
way for Sharkey's ascension to the
throne. And to make it all the
more ridiculous he might get the
championship without so much as
striking a blow.
Sooner or later the commits
sion will lock the doors and
name a successor to Schmeling.
Naturally they won't name the
German to succeed himself.
Stribling isn't likely to be avail
able, for as soon as he even so
much as dickers with the
Schmeling interests he will be
suspend. With StribIing and
Schmeling out of the picture
Sharkey would be as cOnspicu-
Gus among the cOntenders as
water lily in Death Valley and
in all probability would be
named as the new champion.
If he did wake up some morn
ing and see in the papers that he
was the new champion, Sharkey
would probably go right on making
the breakfast toast, for he has had
entirely too many ups and downs
to become excited over which way
the wind blows.
The Boston sailor has had more
than his share of breaks, both good
and bad. His bad breaks include
a knockout at the hands of Jack
Dempsey after he had all but de-
capitated Jack in the rounds pre-
ceding the kayo. He got another
tough break when Tunney chose
Heeney as an opponent for title
match, and still another when he
fouled Schmeling with the heavy
weight title all but in his grasp.
If Sharkey should be named
champion by the commission and
Stribling and Schmeling fight for
the title in Illinois under the N.
B. A. banner, the world, whether it
wants 'em or not, will have two
heavyweight champions, or half
champions
Speaking of Chicago Stribling-
Schmeling fight, Joe Jacobs, man.
ager of Schmeling, told the United
Press late last night that he had
not seen the Chicago stadium Of
ficials all day, and title fight in
that city was no nearer than it
was week ago. Jacobs said, how
ever, that he expected to run
across" the Chicago men today,
and something might come from
the running across

 Please remember! You and ]. the householders of 1881, can make great savings At the same time we can put the unemployed to work, thereby doing a double service to ourselves and our country. Motives are beside the point. It's che results that matter. And the results Of Building are Jobs for the Jobless, and Prosperity.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-04-24

Let's not bubble over motives. Whether to relieve the unemploy- ment situation or to take advantage of the greatest bargains in Building history the American public has be- gun to build. And when the Amer ican public begins building, the spell is broken, and Prosperity prepares to pay the nation another delight full visit.
 Logical enough isn't it? The prices of labor and materials and professional services are low, ex- tremely low, too low. But you and I cant help that. So. owning house that wants repairing or re- modelling, or having a house to build we bounce upon this unique opportunity. We buy while the buy ing is good. We turn national mis- fortune into personal gain.

 This all sounds very selfish. But III reallty IL lS pTcCiSSly tuC OppoSASS' By buying materials, labor and pro- fessiOnal services, we pour money into circulation, stimulate business, give the unemployed employment, start the economic ball a-rolling. We do a wonderful bit towards hastening the return of Prosperity.
 Perhaps it's just the old truth in new dress: that the individual good is the common good, and the com- mon good is the individual good. Certainly, there has never been a more opportune time for painting house. or plastering room, or bringing ones plumbing up to date, or buying door-knob. and certain ly to do any of these things Is to put someone to work.

Jamestown's effort to obtain the state

In view of the fact that the, Farm

Talbot said. and because of the fact
that its mailing list had ben used in
connection with the circulation Of
the Jamestown petitions, the union
will permit any interested city to cir
cularize is membership on the ques-
ton.
This would be done by sending the
circulars to jamestown and having
the material mailed out by the
Farmers Union office there, he said.
Action looking toward the extern
sion of this privilege to cities inter-
ested was taken by the board at its
meeting Saturday, it was disclosed.
In order to avoid attempts to eX-
plot its members, the Farmers Union
usually refuses to permit use of its
mailing list. It's use by jamestown
interests. however. required the union
to grant a similar privilege to other
cities and towns Interested. Talbot
said.
