The FORUM
ANENT DECORATING THE
MEMORIAL TREES

Editor Western News.
Last weeks paper told of some
discussion about using the memorial
spruces as Christmas trees. To
some of us that would seem a sacri-
-lege and we are indeed glad the
Legion ruled against using them
thus. To us all they are more than
Just beautiful trees They are the
living symbols of those young lives
given so devotedly to our country.
No commonplace usage should ever
be made of them.
Libby, without fully realizing it
I fear. has in these trees the most
beautiful memorial to her soldier
dead of any small community of
which we know. Blue spruces of

these are very rare The commun-

WeA cannot pay except by letting
him know our deep appreciation OF
his thought and work.

The Junior Woman's club held one
of its most interesting meetings of
the year last Tuesday evening in
the Community room. Mrs. Harold
Thomson, president, disposed of the
routine business quickly and the
yearbooks were passed out. The
yearbook committee, Miss Mildred

Mrs. Everett Dunn, made very clev

of them.
The program of the evening was
on art and the club room was lined
with the museum prints the Juniors
have secured from the General
Federation of Women s. Gitfb at

very valuable and travels all over

Only Three Vets Left,

A ND between seasons there is a

for the veterans as well as the young
sters in the organization. There are
blackboard lectures, and at the ses-
slons intricate plays that might stump
the fans but must never find the ar
bitter at loss for decision are dis
cuSsed. There ever are written exam
nations that must be passed with
high mark if the official would escape
being shunted back to the minor class.
This splendid organization has done
a great work in advancing sandlot
base ball here. Organized in 1920, it
had under its care only three leagues.
Now it not only handles games of vir-
tually all the week day and Sunday
loops of the Capital, but also sends
its members into Maryland and Vir-
ginia to offlciate in school and college
games. Its influence is far flung and

But three of the charter
members are left. They are
Jimmy Hughes, Bernie Doyle
and Jimmy Green.
Hughes, better known perhaps as
Shorty, played with championship
teams here in the COS and had a fling
at the pro game with Raleigh of the
old North Carolina League and Utica
of the New York State League. He
is president of the association AS a
steady umpire with team Shorty has
record hereabout In handling
games at Navy this season he will be

the Midshipmen.
Shorty and others of his type in
the association certainly keep base
ball at a good level here.
