Concentrations to Miss Mummy


Joshua l.. Murray of this town and
who will be a sophomore in Selby-
Vile High School next year is now
receiving congratulations upon hav-
ing been listed among those who are
to receive prizes and awards In the
Mt. Rushmore Memorial Competi-
ton which she just recently entered
as a contestant. The competition Is
INTENDED to secure the best possible
text in writing the epic of the His
tory OF Our Nation in 600 words,
which are to be carved by Gutzon
Borglum, an Italian sculptor, high
in the Black Hills of South Dakota,
on Mt. Rushmore, Biologists say
that the thirteen foot letters Of this
text will outlast our civilization just
as the pyramids Of Egypt have out
lasted the civilization of the
Pharoahs. Miss Murray was noti-
fed by the Baltimore News last Fri
day morning that her essay had been
selected by the Regional Committee
as one of the five best papers in the
contest and that the same had been
forwarded to the National Commit
tee to await the action OF the chair
man, President Franklin ID. Roose-
welt, upon the return from his vaca-
ton, She has also been informed
that in due course The Memorial
Commission will forward a certifi-
cate of Merit, Honor and Distinction
for her good work, regardless Of the
final outcome. The prizes and
awards which are to be given out by
President Roosevelt on July 4th, are
as follows: First prize to High
School entry, four year scholarship
at $250.OO per year or $500 in cash;
the second, third and fourth prizes
are gold, silver and bronze medals.
While Miss Murray's rating has not
yet been definitely decided upon, yet
we feel the honor of special recog-
milton is one of which she and her
parents and the community as well
may be justly proud, If nothing more
should ever be received, but all are
anxiously awaiting further news.
Church News
Rev. Earl M. Shockley preached a |
simple but very good sermon on Sun
day morning, using the fourth verse |
of the 9th chapter of the Acts OF |
the Apostles as his text-"And when |
the Barbarians saw the venomous |
beast hang on his hand, they said
among themselves, No doubt this
man is a murderer, whom, though
he hath escaped the sea, yet ven
geance suffereth not to live" The
lesson story was that of Paul after
being shipwrecked on the Island of
1rfn1Iwr kry tho Z
but when they saw the
viper fastened on his hand, supposed
him to be a murderer, but after he
shook the viper of in the fire and
kept right ON picking up sticks un-
harmed, they changed their minds
and took him to be a god, but they
were mistaken for he was neither a
murderer nor a god. Rev. Shockley
very simply, but plainly exhorted his
people to shake off the viper Of be-
ing misguided and keep right on
picking up sticks and go on doing
heir Masters business. He also ex-
pressed his appreciation for the ex-
,ellent music rendered by the senior
choir in the morning and again in
he evening to the young peoples
.hoir for their special number.
While there will be preaching SER
vices each Sunday morning during
