PLENTYWOOD WILL
HONOR war dead.

Everyone rejoices in the privilege
OF extending honor to these who
were willing to sacrifice their lives
for the protection OF their country.
May 30 has been set apart by proc
,lamation at Memorial Day when
the memories OF those who have died
for their country will be revered.
Appropriate exercises will be held
in communities all over the nation
extolling their brave deeds and the
esteem in which they are held.
However, on Saturday, May rs,
the citizens Of Plentywood and other
communities will have the privilege
OF honoring those who willingly gave
themselves and came back from the
World Wan with scars that can never
be removed. This day will be Poppy
Day. throughout the United States
and will be generally observed by the
purchasing and wearing OF the little
red poppy OF Flanders Field.
The observance Of this day Is being
directed by the American Legion
Auxiliaries throughout the nation and
this organization will receive contri-
buttons for its welfare and relief
work among the disabled veterans
and their families. When one realizes
that these little artificial paper flow
ers were made by hand by the dis
abled veterans themselves, they
somehow take on a deeper attractive
ness and meaning to the average
citizen.

! Building of two naval dirigibles

commended yesterday by Chairman
Carl Vinson, Democrat, Georgia,
of the house naval affair commit
tee, in a statement to the fed
eral aviation commission.
Secretary of the Navy Claude
A Swanson appeareds at the COM

of the nation. Vinson also opposed
unification.
: Vinson urged that the two new
airships replace the Akron, which
crashed in the Atlantic ocean off
the New Jersey shore, and the
now obsolete Los Angeles.
/ The Congressman said that air.
ships had proved practical as
scouts and airplane carriers. He
declared that any war which
came to the American shores
would have to come by Sea and
therefore he opposed a single COM

was worth, arbitrarily, it could tlS
values on used shoes, used suits OF
discarded shirts and that congress
had no intention of being so tech
nical and detailed in its superVl'
sion of purely private transac'
tons" 81
The reasoning was in line with
his previous decisions.
In the oil case, Judge Vaughn
held that drilling of an oil wei
within the boundary OF state
was not interstate commerce and
hence not subject to federal con.
troll and that no matter how great
theeconomic emergency set forth
in the MIRA, there was nothing
in the constitution to give con-
press power to intervene.
A few weeks later Judge
Vaught enjoined the government
from. attempting to require AAA
licenses of milk producers in the
Oklahoma City area. He saw no
entree for congress to take hand
in purely interstate commerce and
brushed aside government pleas
that licensing was necessary to
keep the price structure on a sta
bic basis. -,
The government will appeal the
oil case but no effort has been
made to appeal the milk decision.
1t was uncertain last night what
course would be followed in the
auto code case. =!

.ERSKINE Wins
HOLIDAY GAME
OFF RIDCIANS
Locals Outgained But Hold
i, South .Carolinians to "a
60 Score
By GEORGE r. FAIN

Led by Captain jim PRESLEY
the Erskine College Freshman
turned back the Blue Ridge Hill
toppers in their Armistice Day
encounter yesterday 60.
Blue Ridge made a great fight
but were powerless to gain
through the strong Seceder line
and were unable to consistently
stop the driving Frosh backs.
The Erskine attack functioned
we'll in midfield but begged down
in the scoring territory and it was
not until the third quarter, after
they had pushed the Hilltoppers
back to their 13 yard line that
Galloway broke through and block
ed Sandfoss' attempted punt,
PRESLEY pursued the ball across
the goal line and fell on it for a
touchdown.
Blue Ridge kicked off, and the
Seceders promptly rolled up three
first downs, led by the driving
Presley and Shuler. The Hill
toppers braced on their % yard
line and held for downs. Two off
side penalties gave Blue Ridge a
first down but they were forced
to punt. The rest of the first
quarter was spent in exchanging
punts.
An exchange of punts in the
second quarter forced Erskine
back to their Is yard line but Dor
sey skirted the Ridgian end for
% yards and 10 yard pass car
ried to Blue Ridges At. The half
ended just after Miller had pick
ed up 8 yards for the Hilltoppers
in two tries.
The break came in the third
quarter. Blue Ridge fumbled an
attempted lateral, Ivester recov-
cred for the Frosh on the 80 yard
line. Presley passed to Shuler
for Is yards and few moments
later passed to Edwards for 6
yards, but the Hilltoppers held
and took the ball on downs on
their own ~ yard line. SandfosS
failed to gain, Miller got one yard
and Sandfoss punt was blocked
for the Seceder touchdown. A
pass for the extra point failed.
The fourth quarter saw Blue
Ridge push to the Erskine 33 on
passes but PRESLEY stopped the
drive by intercepting a pass and
returning it past midfield. Press
ley and Shuler made first down
as the game ended.
The Ridgians were completely
outgained in every department
