EDITORIAL
Many years ago the Pilgrims, af-
ter coming through hard year i'll
a new country, set aside one day
on which they prepared feast and
gave thanks to God for all the
many things he had given them.
Since then Thanksgiving day has
been set aside each year as a day
to think Of our many blessings and
to give thanks.
However, many people are in
clined to think only of the big din
ner and the good things they have
to eat on Thanksgiving and they
forget what the day really stands
for. Some people are inclined to
take everything for granted an
think only of the things they have
not instead of the many thing
they have, many of which money
cannot buy.
SPORTS
Have you ever played badminton?
I tried to for few minutes the
other day. After had finished the
so-called playing of the game, I
was in a terrific sweat; from what
I do not know. Surely had not
exerted myself that much for

continually swatting space in an
effort to return the feathered what
not used instead of a ball. Several
sets of badminton are owned by
this school and the sport was only
introduced to this town about a
year ago.
Toftness cut the basketball squad
down to the more workable number
of twenty players last Thursday.
The baskets were not put up until
Saturday when the boys held their
first scrimmage. Coach Toftness
was not too well pleased with the
results. Each night after all the
practice is over, the squad has to
run around the gym a number OF
times. Each night the number Of
times around was boosted up a
notch or two until now the number
is over thirty. One thing is certain,
the boys will be in good shape for
the first game, If nothing else.
Just a reminded-"if" Is the
worst word in the dictionary.
Observation-Disclosures columns
first appeared in the sport sections
of newspapers. Since that time it
has been the ambition of every
young journalist to be the author
of a signed column in some newspa-
per. Many able journalists have
been uncovered through their col
umns; and many very excellent
columns are written today. Joe Will
liams, Dick Cullum, Henry McLe-
more, and others are probably the
best sports columnists seen in the
Northwest papers. The sports field
does not, however, boast the only
good columnist. 0. o. Mcintyre, &c.
dric Adams, Westbrook Pegler and
others are among the best. Chuck
Rattle writes the best columns

ia paper; and it is even better than
many daily columns in larger news.
