Golf Tourney
First Event
InFaI|

Athletics on q broader scale
with q varied schedule Of events
for each season Of the year has
been pledged by the Washington
chapter Of the Knights Of Colum-
bus.
At q recent meeting Of the ath.
letic association, Joe Pricci, well.
known local bowling star, was
elected chairman Of the group for
the coming year.
With this drive now in full
swing and enough money to launch
such q program, the K. OF G. in
District independent circles Is
definitely on the upgrade.
Plans have been completed
whereby the entire top floor Of
the council house will be reno.
waited. This means that the gym
will be placed into first-class
shape with the basketball court
floor completely renovated. Should
the construction materialize &C
cording to these plans, the Knights
will boast one Of the best basket
ball hardwoods in Washington.
Golf in September
AS far as sports events are con-
cerned. the first major attraction
on the schedule Is q golf tourna-
ment, the date Of which will be
decided at q meeting next week.
However, it is definite that the
tourney will be staged in Septem'
Der.
Another event that may be
placed on the schedule Is the spon-
soring of one Of the Catholic Uni"
versity varsity football games this
fall. Last year the K. Of c. and
the c. U. athletic officials got be-
hind the Catholic U.-La Sale game
and a banner turnout was realized.
It Is the hope Of several prominent
members of the athletic aSsocia-
ton that q similar get-together
with Catholic U. will be lined up
this year with the Loyola Of the
South intersectional game which
will be played at Brookland, Oc-
tober 2, affording the tie-up.
For the winter season a basket
ball team to compete in one OF the
local leagues is on tap, with a
group of quintetS lined UP for a
Casey League.
Bowling Stressed
Bowling will also come in for
strong support, with several teams
competing in District loops as well
as individual loops within the
Council.
In the spring 1t is the hope OF
the athletic association to place a
strong baseball team on the field
as well as a softball outfit. Efforts
were made to establish these ball
teams for competition now, but as
the season is now past the mid
way mark the chances Of hooking
up in the local leagues are doubt
full.
The athletic association Of the
K. Of C. has managed to guard its
treasury and consequently is in a
position to undertake its rejuve-
mated sports venture in no small
degree.
A series Of dances sponsored by
the group will aid in floating addi-
tional capital with which to
operate throughout the next IL
months.

Fake Plans Being
Sold for Pensions

RALEIGH, Aug. 4.-Officials of
the State Board of Charities and
Public Welfare, taking cognizance
of newspaper reports that a "Dr. j.
E. Pope" of Washington, D. c., is
soliciting members for what is term
ed the Pope Plan for Old Age
Pensions Csc per member-in
North Carolina, have issued state
ment in which it is reiterated that
no fees are necessary in this state
for applicants to present their
claims for assistance under the
North Carolina program.
Several weeks ago, the board,
through Mrs. w. T. Bost, Commits
sioner, asserted that the payment of
any sum whatever to any individu-
al or organization was not required
in filing claims for assistance
through this states Social Security
program: Trained workers in every
county of the state, employed by
the board and its county affiliates,
are prepared to aid assistance appli-
cants without cost.
The newspaper reports indicate
that the Washington organization
allegedly is of nationwide scope,
and is said to be lobbying for fed
eral statute providing for the pay
ment of graduated sums to all per-
sons above the age of IS.
The payments, the reports stated,
were to be made 'by the United
States government direct, regard
less of state in which pensioner
may live, and without red tape or
meddling by states and counties"

Celebration Mon.
 Of Fourth Was A
 Lot of Fun for All

The Fourth of July. and Fifth, the day of celebration passed in Nome with no deaths but lots of excitement.
 Commencing in the morning with a literary program which took place at the school auditor ium. and continuing thru the day with sports and entertainment, the people of Nome had much 10 attract their attention.
 Probably the most-enjoyed feat ure of the day, and the one which undoubtedly created the most hilarty, was the pillow fight pull ed off for all ages.
 First the tiny tots had their in- nings. The contestants were plac ed on an iron pole raised from the ground by two stancheons, and pillows placed in their hands. The idea was to upset the other by continued skipping with the pill ows and thereby be the winner.
 Racing of all kinds attracted much interest and the Eskimo en- tertainment and sports held the crowds attention in an enthusia- stic manner.
 The special Oomiak Race be- tween the Hammon and Commer- cial indoor baseball teams was the crowning feature of the cele- bration, and developed into race of four oomiaks filled with whit es instead of only two.
 Needless to say, the Ha1nmon team came in first with an inde- pendent boat second and the Com mercials a close third, with the other independent boat last. The prize of case of beer disappear ed quickly and it looked as if members of all boats helped in emptying the case.
