GEORGE BROS.
 ANNEX TITLE
 IN LAST GAME
Defeat DeMol ay After Tough Argument-Hig
 School Beats Bremen

It's all over, and George Brothers win the gonfalonl
 But the George Brothers had a hard time convincing the DeMolay basketeers that they are the better team-in fact the DeMolay quint argued the point for three-quarters of the game last night at the Ju- neau High School Gymnasium but never could get the best of it. In the fourth quarter, however, George Brothers clinched the argument by sinking a number of baskets mak- ing the final score, George Broth CTS 29, DeMolay 20.
 Two Tie Periods
 The first quarter of the game ended in a tie to 5, and the second quarter followed suit with another tie score, to g. George Brothers bolstered themselves up between halves and started a bet ter attack, gaining points on the lodge boys and ending the quarter on the long end of a 20 to Is score. They piled the score 9 points higher in the last quarter, while DeMolay ball tossers only made f.
 And that's how George Brothers are Gastineau Channel Basketball champions for the season of 1933- 34.
 The Grocers won the first half championship and lost a playoff for the second half title with the DeMolay outfit.
 Last nights game was the second of the playoff series, but as the Grocers nosed out the DeMolay five last Thursday by a single point, the third game of the ser ies is unnecessary and will not be played
 High School is Winner
 The first game last night was a sort of semi-final event of the evening, rather than an ordinary opener. The game was played be- tween the Juneau High School team and the Juneau Bremen who were in the semi-finals of the last half championship series The game was won by the student by a score of 35 to 31 The Fire men didn't seem to get started in the first half which ended with the High School ahead 21 to 10 They hit their stride in the second half, however, but the game didn't last long enough for them. The Firemen played the entire game without a substitution, and all the High School scoring was done by their starting lineup, although

 It was on two-shot foul in a game between Ware and Palmer High Schools. On the second try the ball rolled around the rim and came to rest, perfectly balanced, atop the rim and leaning against the blackboard.

TREE MEETING
ATTENDED BY
MRS. JONES

Returning from the first western
shade tree conference. where she
represented the Ell Centro Chamber
of Commerce as chairman of the
tree planting committee of that body,
Mrs. j. S. Jones reports that the
conference, which was held in Santa
Monica, was extremely interesting
and instructive. There were about
TOO persons in attendance at the
conference, including leading for
,esters, entomologists and Landscape
architects from all parts of Cali
fornia. In addition classes from
nearby junior colleges were in at
tendance, taking notes on the ad-
dresses which were given on various
phases Of tree planting and garden
ing.
"The program given was very
broad" Mrs. Jones stated upon her
return. Naturally there was not a
great deal of time devoted to the
matter of planting trees in desert
communities, but ideas we're put
forth which could be adapted to
desert planting and general pro-
grams for civic Identification and
organized planting of shade trees
which the chamber of commerce

A CONSTRUCTIVE STEP

A step toward breaking down a preiu-
dice which has no place among intelli-
gent people, was taken at Los Angeles
Tuesday night, when Rev. Hugh Duce, a
Jesuit priest of the Roman Catholic
church, and president of Loyola Univer-
sity, spoke as the honored guest at din
ner given by Golden West Commandery,
Knights Templar, Masonic organiza-
tion.
The incident was unique, in fact it was
somewhat startling, for the two organi-
cations, thanks to ignorance or misun-
derstanding on both sides, are generally
supposed to be as far apart as the poles
in their aims and objectives.
That the contrary is nearer the truth
is demonstrated by the address which
Father Duce made to the Templars. His
remarks were confined to social and &C.
onomic problems now confronting the
nation and anyone reading an account of
his address cannot doubt that there is
much in common between the church
and Masonic organizations in relieving
distress, in helping to solve unemploy-
ment and other phases of the social and
economic situation.
Father Duce urged greater coopera-
tion between members of the Roman
Catholic church and of the Masonic Or
der so that they could face with help
full determination the serious problems
confronting our country at this time
Some 800 members of the Knights
Templars heard the priests talk and ac-
corded him an enthusiastic outburst of
applause at its conclusion.
In thanking Father Duce for his talk,
Robert T. West, commander of the Gold
en- West Commandery said, 81 am sure
that the Masons and Catholics can find
not only common ground but also fruit
full ground for the realization of our
mutual advantages and benefits
Father Duce was introduced by Rey-
mold E. Blight, grand orator of the
Grand Lodge of California, who describ-
ed the priests presence as "an adventure
in understanding"
The last word of that phrase is the key
to the relations between Masonry and
the church. Misunderstanding breeds
strife and discord, intolerance and bigo-
try. Understanding makes for coopera-
ton, friendliness, tolerance and concert
ed action against common foes which be-
set the nation.
The Catholic who places the man
wearing a Masonic emblem as his enemy
does so through ignorance and misun-
derstanding. The Mason who considers
the Catholic as his enemy does so for the
same reasons. Each blinds himself to
the fact that they love a common coun-
try, that both stand for the right and
condemn the wrong, that they can hold
contrary beliefs in religion as in politics
and still work together.
Catholics, Masons, Protestants, Jews,
people of no religious belief whatso-
ever, are indebted to Golden West Com
mandery for its leadership in attempt
ing to break down prejudice bigotry and
tolerance-triple-head enemy to all
that is best and finest in the United
States Of Anoarica

DISMISSALS JUSTIFIED

lMO WIN nClS -
a pair of convicts escaping from San
Quentin prison and forced to ride with
them the greater part of two days on
wild dash of 800 miles in an unsuccess-
full attempt to retain their stolen tree
dom, have been dismissed from the San
Rafael police force by their chief.
It seems a rather harsh dealing Tor
the officers who were not on duty at the
time but voluntarily undertook to aid IN
capturing the escaping men.
However, in taking police car and
the status of officers, they automatlcal-
ly placed themselves ION duty" and as
such are responsible for their actions,
or rather, lack of action.
They knew they were looking for two
desperate men who were armed and who
could be easily spotted by their prison
uniforms, the style of which cannot be
unknown to residents of San Rafael.
That this is true is indicated by the fact
that the officers spotted their quarry
shortly after starting their search.
The officers were equipped with rifles
and machine gun. Yet, notwithStand-
ing their superior armament, an equali-
ty in numbers and other circumstances
in their favor, the officers permitted the
convicts to overpower them, take their
car and keep them prisoners for almost
two days.
Moreover, when the convicts released
the officers they ordered the latter to
remain on a street corner for 10 minutes
before attempting to get away. The of
ficers tamely submitted to the convicts'
instructions.
Throughout the whole affair the Off
GERS exhibited woeful lack of mental
agility, resourcefulness and courage
which the public is entitled to expect in
its police officers. In view of this it is
better that they should resume their
status as private citizens.
Their actions are a decided contrast
to the actions of the officers who sue
ceeded in killing the two convicts. These
latter officers stood up under an initial
fire from the convicts' guns and beat
them at their own game. That is what
the public expects policemen to do.
