Historic VILLAGE

CHURCH POINT, Nova Scotia
UP-The present-day French Aca-
dians, descendants of the people
about whom Longfellow wrote his
famous poem, "Evangeline," boast
one of the worlds largest wooden
churches.
This structure, the Church of st.
Mary's, has a steeple 1870 feet high.
1t is 200 feet long and the dome is
65 feet high. 1t was begun in 1901
and finished in 1904. The wood was
furnished from their own timber
tracts. All the work was done by
local peasants, fishermen and farm
ers. They donated their services.
Even the intricate wood work cary

local artisans.
Huge tree trunks, so feet in
height, form the columns of the
interior. Each is cleVerly covered

where many water lilies grew
beautiful white blossoms with yell

stopped rowing and began to
gather the flowers. The animal
boys helped him. When they had
enough blossoms Uncle Wiggily
got ready to row the boat again
but he couldn't. He had forgotten
to haul the oars aboard. He had
left them in the oarlockS but they
had slipped out and had floated
far away down the lake.

CANCELLATION PLEASING

Well, now we can breathe bit easier.
Cancellation of the oil II c ! o n
granted by the emperor of Ethiopia to
American and English capitalists, re-
moves what could have been an easy way
for the United States to become involved
in European war, despite definite as
surances to the contrary from the admin
stration
Since the announcement Of the conces-
sion was made last week, It has been the
subject Of discussion in all parts of the
world, with numerous interpretations be-
ing placed upon possible results Amer
lean capital, to the extent of many mil
lions of dollars, being placed in Ethio-
pia, with the Italian army practically
ready to invade that country. had all the
safety of sitting on a powder keg with
a lighted match in hand
The administration. through Presi-
dent Roosevelt. declares that not even
the entry of American capital upon the
scene, could have involved the nation in
war, as the administration was deter
mined to keep out of war. That sounds
good but those of US with long memories
can recall that we once elected a Presi-
dent on the slogan he kept US out Of
war, and within few months we were
into it, head, neck and heels.
There is no intention herewith to slur
or impugn the sincerity of one of the
nations grandest figures, Woodrow Will
son, who was the President so elected
Mr.. Wilson was sincere in his desire to
keep US out of the World war, but fate,
circumstances and the ordinary "cussed-
ness" of humans ruled otherwise. The
same forces could have pushed us into
what has all the earmarks of being ano-
ther war.
Cancellation of n e oil concession,
made at the strenuous request of the
American state art m n t, can be
praised as a fine bit of work, much finer
IN fact than the bungling of the Soviet
situation last week
The American nation had one taste of
the high cost of rescuing American in
vestments, and doesn't want another.

HELPING A GOOD CAUSE

On the sports page of this issue read
ers will find an announcement OF series
in night baseball to be played between
all-star teams from Brawley and Ell Cen
tro, which merits few words of eXplana-
ton.
The two local night ball leagues have
been furnishing entertainment for local
residents for many months past, during
which time expenses have been heavier
than anticipated while revenue has not
been as much as hoped for by league Of
ficials.
During all the time the leagues have
been functioning the fans have been at
liberty to enjoy the games, contributing
something if they wished to do so but If
they didn't - they could still see the
games. 1t was not exactly fair propo-
sition, as far as the players and the
leagues are concerned, the balance being
all in favor of the spectator. but neither
players nor officials kicked
The leagues now find they will need
additional money to meet expenses and
have decided on an inter-city series to
stir up interest and bring out the crowds.
All games will be played in this city. A
nominal charge for adults and children
will be made. and has been set low
enough to meet the purses of all.
Throughout the not summer nights the
players have toiled faithfully and ener-
getically to give the people Of this COM
munity an opportunity to enjoy whole
some recreation. League officials have
had a thankless task in trying to keep
things on an even keel.
This series will be the fans opportun-
ity to show that they appreciate the eff
forts of the players and the league Off
cials If they are the good sports base

round and answer this request for CO.

The old rivalry between Brawley and
El Centric, in all things, assures an in
teresting series. There will be plenty of
clean, hard and fast play, with the ath-
letes from each city determined to put
over a victory on their opponents.
Friday night of this week, and Monday
and Friday nights of next week are the
dates for the games. Fans should keep
these dates in mind and then turn out for
the games, for Brawley is certain to come
down strong-in players and spectators.

NEW YORK, Sept. - New

Mouse's creator Walt Disney, was
not disillusioning. A celebrity

He was a producer who had pre-

the world and yet thinks there IS
room for improvement.
He believes Mickey talks too
much but many Of US will not
agree. We ike that bravado
squeak. Disney denied any sud
den flash of genius in creating
Mickey. He had first created Os-
wald the Rabbit but lost him
through some clever business see

Thus Mickey arose out Of the
ashes Of defeat. This was the sort
Of unfeigned modesty Disney
maintained when besieged by the

ally joining the general clamor
for his autograph.
Disney Is tall, thin, and fea-
lures a midget mustache. He is an
alumnus Of that great school of

City Star. The usual artistic lack
Of commercial sagacity has shorn
Disney of huge Mickey profits.
His biggest income comes from
Mickey toys, hats and books.
