WHALE FILM TALK AT FORUM SUNDAY
Second Church to Present Chester Rowland in H.
 luStrated Lecture

Chester Scott Rowland will pre- sent his illustrated lecture on the subject Hunting Giants of the Sea-, the romantic story of the early American whaling days at the Forum of the Second Congre- gational church on Sunday even- ing, December 30th at 7:30 o'clock. The making of this thrilling film story required painstaking efforts of the sponsors during period of eighteen months at cost of $5O,- 900. MT Rowland himself is na- tive of one of the most famous sac ports in the world, New Bedford, Mass, and the son of New Eng land sea captain. One hundred years ago New Bedford, Mass, out stripped the world as an active whaling port. A forest of masts and Spars crowded her water front and men and oxen were always busy preparing sturdy vessels for long voyages. Cooper's mallets boomed constantly upon hundreds of huge casks.
 Whaling days were the most ad- venturous throughout all the his tory of American life on the sea. Seventy thousand people depended directly upon the dangerous whale fishery for their livelihood. Twelve thousand stout souled seamen sail ed New Bedford's sturdy ships to the remote corners of the watery world, searching in many unchart- ed oceans for their giant quarry. Whaling is still most important world activity. In the early days every man was brave because the hunt and capture allowed the hunters only mere slender hand weapons as killing instruments. Some believe that the early whale men possessed courage paralleled only by that of our prehistoric an- cestors who fought the saber- toothed tiger, the cave bear and the mastodon. The pursuit and capture of an ugly 80-barrel bull sperm whale provided tremendous risk.
 This motion picture which will be shown at the Fourm on Sunday evening is, vivid, tremendous, ex- citing and remarkable. From the moment the majestic square rigger sails into the rising sun, until after eighteen months, she returns storm swept and staggering, the spectator is spell-bound. Chester Rowland weaves in with his expert knowledge of whaling a great deal that possesses much literary and historic interest.

But despite the setback Joe and his boys still find them- selves in first place an dby a more comfortable lead than they had before last nights results. The Phelanmen are now three games up on the Washington Hills and the first round.
