Henry retaliated by winning the second game 609 to 607 and also took the rubber game 593 to 588. It doesn't take high scores to make an interesting game does it Cal Kerwin. Incidentally Bill Strokalaitis is first in aver ages if you start counting from the bobottom.

Slokus with 284, Joe Yanavich 315, Hank Kenausis 305, Delinks 333, Prisavage 302 and Deputy Sheriff Al Francis 3O9 are scores that will keep any team up on top. Even Capt. Vaitukaitis' 109-147-145 total 401 score made no difference to the stiffies who cer- tainly burn up the alleys when the going is rough.

 Every captain is to give me news

RURAL YOUTH TO GUIDE
FUTURE FARM PLANNING

pecially the rural young people,
will play an important part in de-
veloping the nations future agri-
cultural policies, according to a
bulletin entitled, Opportunities
Ahead for Rural Youth" recently
issued BY the Agricultural Ad-

Copies of this bulletin may be
obtained free by writing to the
AAA at Washington, D. c. The
bulletin reads in part:
IF agriculture is to overcome
permanently it's present handicaps;
If it is to adjust production with
consumption; put it's acreage to
the best use; try to regain some of
its former foreign trade; retain
its domestic markets and hold its
prices at fair level, 1t will require
real service from those who wish
for such progress. Undoubtedly
there are many opportunities ahead
for rural youth in the course of ag-
riculture's longtime planning oper-
ations."
