THE ROLLING YEaARS-Agnes
Sigh Turnbull. The background of
1.-THE Rolling Years" is a Scottish
farming community of western
Pennsylvania, and the author has
depicted memorably the salient as
poets Of its life; the conduct of the
district schools, the Friday night
singing class, the village store, and
the merry making of a country
square dance. All these are hand
led with rich and often humorous
detail.
The book tells the story Of the
Mcdowell family; the first part
dealing with the early days on the
farm, the second part where they
move to New Salem, where Con-
stance Mcdowell of the new gen.
Grafton grows to womanhood.

SPRING DOPE

Spring Is here in more ways than
one. The students are getting laz-
Ter, the grass Is getting greener,
the plants are growing, and talk
Of summer sports has begun. one
of the most deserving summer
sports is tennis. Every day through
the summer, the court by the Ii
brary was crowded to capacity
Many did not get a chance to play,
and there were no other courts
available. This year, IL plans go
through, the young people of Sank
Centre need have no fear OF over
taxed tennis courts. The courts up
at the golf course are being con-
sidered for re-fixing. Down at the
park, courts may be constructed on
the plot of ground that was filled
in. IF these plans materialize, and
we earnestly hope they do, tennis
will become a major summer
sport in this city.
So let's all get behind this tennis
court movement and support 1t
strongly in the months to come.

One Of the last of the lyceums
was heard Friday, April twenty
fourth. The program was given by
the st. Benedicts College Singers,
of st. Joseph, Minnesota. Four
numbers were sung and one of the
girls played a very beautiful piano
selection. Her playing was enjoyed
so much that she was asked by Mr..
Kohl to play again. AS this last Sc
lection she played the Introductory
music by the MARY Marlin" pro-
gram on the radio. Due to the fact
that some of the girls had to catch
bus the program lasted only a
half hour. The time was thorough
ly enjoyed by the student group
and the singers were asked to
come back to Sank Centre in the
near future-which they promised
to do.

THE LEGION CONVENTION, A
 COMMUNITY AFFAIR

In a little more than two months Juneau will be aost to what promises to be its outstanding conven- ton of the year-the American Legion Department convention from September 2 to 5, inclusive As the capital city of Alaska. being locked to by the rest of the Territory for the best convention that be put in the north. Other cities have had good conventions but Juneau is expected to uphold her prestige as the leading city of the Territory. The Juneau convention is anticipated as something to go down in the record.
 The Afford John Bradford Post here already is al work plans for the gala occasion The members most of them in business here in Juneau, are giving of their time and their money to make the convention C guaranteed success But they expect and en- titled to- the support of the entire community
 A convention such as the Legion will bring here is a community affair. Just as the Legion men here are found in virtually every activity in the city the delegates from other cities representative of those communities. The same is true of the Auxiliary. Its membership is made up of the wives and sisters of the Legion men They your neighbors represented in all the things in which of the community center their interest There isn't any lodge clique or group about the Legion and Auxiliary. It is just an aff laton of sound American citizens who happened o be born at the right time to take part in the World War No group earth is more representative of an American community, which is ample why every citizen in community should support it's gath ering where again will be sounded that clarion call of Americanism which in these days of fads and theories can not be stressed too often.
 Consider the forthcoming Legion convention as community affair when Legion representatives come areund to ask your support. Give it the same con- sideraton, for example, you would the Fourth of 1 eelobraiion. the recent school music festival or similar community events Properly supported, the convention can be made a community asset; but allowed to struggle along it will be only another con- vention which can give Juneau a community black eye throughout the Territory As the Capital City, expected to lead the way
