DISTRICT CAGE
CHASE LIKELY
TO BE CLOSE
FEW FAVORITES LOOM
AS SEASON GETS
UNDERWAY

Who'll rule district ten in bas-
ketball this season? Will Sleepy
Eye successfully defend its crown?
Can Gibbon repeat as class A
champ and where will the other
teams place in the final standings?
These questions only long
drawn-out season, starting in No
vember in most cases and ending
in March, can answer but news
from many fronts indicates there
will be several bidding for honors
with no domineering favorite.
In the late November games,
Morton, Wabasso, Gibbon and
Walnut Grove, a newcomer in
hoop circles, achieved victories
while Franklin, Belview and Wal
nut Grove, playing its second tilt,
went down in defeat.
Morton was doing badly at the
halftime in its opener with
Franklin, trailing z to 5, but in
the last half the Granitemen hit
their stride and rolled up IA
points to four for their opponents
to romp away with a 10 to IL vic
tory.
Belview was the victim when
Walnut Grove inaugurated its
new gym, the lighter and shorter
Belview five going down Is to Z.
Howard Egge, Gerald Olson and
Donald Weeks contributing
points. The Grove seconds also
triumphed over the Belview sec
ond string 90.
In their second game the WAL
nuts kept pace with Wabasso
through two quarters and then
were victims of the faster attack.
the Rabbits winning 81 to 8. Virgil
Dahmes, George Mahal and Har-
vey Schaffran were point-getting

KEEP 1T CLEAN

From both sides of the political
fence voters already have heard
charges of whispering campaigns. !"
Rumors are being whispered against
both candidates, charges so baseless
and scandalous that no newspaper
even dare print them to deny them
This is not the American way OF do
ing things. There is nothing OF fair
ness or craftsmanship in such pro-
cedure. We may hold differences OF
opinion in political matters but let's
be open and frank and fair in ex-
pressing those opinions. Let US en-
terrain no thought, express no charge
that has to be whispered into our
neighbours ear. The best way to
stop these whispering campaigns"
is to tell the whisperer that such
practices are disgrace to any
civilized people, and then refrain
from passing along the same scandal
Let's decide the campaign on its own
issues, not on its whispered false
hoods.-Times, Ellicott City.

LABOR UNION STRIFE

Never in it's long and occasionally
tumultuous history has the American
Federation of Labor faced such a
crisis as it does today. Cause of the
crisis is John Llewellyn Lewis,
militant head of the United Mine
Workers, whose principal ambition is
to unionize the aggressively open
shop steel industry. Reason for the
crisis is the fact that Mr.. Lewis be-
lieves in industrial unions, while A.
F. of l.. head William Green still
clings to the tradition of craft unions.
Difference between a craft and in
dustrial union is simple-but vast.
Under the craft union system, from
which the Federation has never devil
ated, unions consist of men doing a
certain kind of work, though they
may be employed in hundred differ
ent industries. Thus, all truck
drivers belong to the same union
though some may work for steel
corporations, some for breweries
some for department stores, etc.
Under the industrial union system
advocated by Mr.. Lewis, all workers
within an industry would belong tc
one big union, whatever their jobs
If, for example, the steel industry
was unionized, the union would con
sist of smelter operators, machinists
and every other kind of workmer
steel making requires.
The issue has split union sympa
thizers wide open. 1t came to a heaC
when A. F. of l.. tried the unions
following Mr.. Lewis, suspended then
FOR brief period, threatened to droI
Them thereafter unless they came
back within the fold. Mr.. Lewis die
not even appear at the trial in de
fense-he has many of the bigges
and most important unions in the
country in his ranks, and he feels
chat his organization is on the way
up, will eventually either supplan
or take over the A. F. of L.
Extremely momentous phase o.
the Lewis movement is it's potentia
and actual influence on politics
Some think that Mr.. Lewis looks tt
the creation of an American labor
party, similar to those long active ii
england, France and, before Hitler
in Germany.

EDUCATION BY RADIO EXPAND.
ING

The number of schools in England
and Wales listening to the BIC radio
broadcasts to schools increased near
ly 1000 during the past six months.
Reports show an increase of 200
from June 1 to June "a, 1886.
Scotland schools, to the number
of about 700, are equipped with re-
ceiving sets. This represents more
than one-fifth of the total number of
schools in Scotland.
Dr. John w. Studebaker, U. S..
Commissioner of Education, stressing
the value of the radio as an auxiliary
to classroom work, gave it as his
opinion that a school system could
greatly increase it's efficiency by as
signing a few outstanding teachers
to handle radio broadcasting. The
advantages of such a practice would
be to spread the contributions Of
superior teachers to the entire sys-
TEN, rather than to the small groups
in one single classroom. 1t was his
opinion that this could be accom-
plished without necessarily increas-
ing the teaching staff of the respec-
i've Systems.
Many students of education by
radio and visual education believe
that when the race has developed its
faculties to learn through it's ears as
we'll as it's eyes, using the printed
word for reference and experience
for development of skills, a liberal
education may be had in much less
time than it now takes.

IT'S UP TO YOU

There has been a great deal OF
concern over the safety of about
hundred and fifty American citizens
in Madrid. The fear was felt that
in the event of a battle between
rebels and loyalists in the city some
of these Americans would be killed
or injured.
1t is natural and proper that the
public interest be aroused by such
situation. But it is rather a strange
anomaly that the public is vitality
interested in the safety of handful
of people-and pays little attention
to the massacre of thousands OF
others.
The reference is to our automobile
death toll. 1t takes less than two
days for auto accidents to account
for a greater number OF lives than
those hazarded in Madrid. Last
years death record was around the
$4,000 mark-this year it may be
even higher. If that many people
were killed in some cataclysm the
whole world would be aghast, and
the event would become a grim page
in history. But because our auto
mobile victims are killed few at a
time throughout the days OF the
year, and in widely separated areas,
the average citizen gives almost no
thought to the needless carnage.
No problem more vitality affects us
all than the automobile accident
problem. And none is more COM
pletely within the control OF the peo-
pie. Every individual can drive
safely if he only wills it-and the
force of public opinion, unified and
aggressive, could make the highways
a very uncomfortable place for the
reckless. Think of the horror with
which you regard a revolution that
kills a few hundred or a few thou
sand persons-and then ask yourself
if it isn't your duty to help reduce
our grisly accident toll.

BANKERS WILL MEET
IN ANNUAL COUNCIL
Business Men Also Invited to
Present Their Views on
Services of Banks
to the Public

WASHINGTON. D. C.-Robert v.
Fleming, President American Bank
ers Association, has announced that
the organizations annual convention
will be held 1T San Francisco, Sep
tember 21-24 and its program will
call in not only bankers but speakers
from various lines Of business to
present their viewpoints and advice.
The plans for the convention dis
cussions take into consideration the
TACT he said, that one of the major
problems of banking today is to de-
velop its operations along lines that
will create greater public under
standing of its methods and services.
ut is my earnest conviction that
such public understanding of bank
ing is not only an essential defense
against attacks from whatever source.
but is also requisite to reestablishing
It upon a firm and satisfactory basis
of profitable operations, Mr.. Fleming
said.
General Improvement Cited
1.-THE improvement in general con-
ditions which is now taking place
should be of material aid to bankers
in carrying forward a constructive
prog. am for increasingly Useful rela-
tionshipr between banking and bust
less. as well as one of more helpful
personal business services to all our
people Sound banking conducted in
ways the public need and understand
must be the aim of successful bank
management.
"How can the banker make his op-
erations ano policies more under
Standable to the people of his COM
munity? How can better and broader
financial services be soundly provid
ed? How can banking improve its op.
Grating methods and income? These
md many similar questions demand
the earnest attention of all bankers
They call for fresh counselling to.
gether and a new interchange of ex-
perierce and advice among the men,
bers of our profession.
with these thoughts in mind, we
have built the convention prog
with the view of also calling into oul
councils speakers from various lines
of business to give us their view
points and advice. | can say without
reservation that this is to my mind
me of the most crucial years in the
evolution of American banking. and
that we are passing through period
demanding, IS never before. coopera-
ton and mutual exchange of view
point among our members and 9TH
ers."

TRADE AND PEACE

'The nations of the world will
not fight for things they need If they
can get these things through the
peaceful pursuit of trade.
Peace makes for trade-we all
know that, and as practical business
men we stand united against the
threat of destruction and world
wide bankruptcy that war so surely
holds. But just as surely, just as
inevitably, trade makes for peace,
and the average American who seeks
a higher standard of living in a
peaceful world today will find the
answer to his quest in a more gen.
erous two-way foreign trade policy"
