G-NEN AND SENATE TIE FOR FIRST PLACE IN
SIeuths Best
Ind. {. Say
Experts
BY SID KATZNELL

According to basketball experts,
the Federal Bureau of Investiga-
ton possesses the strongest anna
teur unlimited team in washing
ton.
Under the direction Of Eddie
Colliflower, imported from the pro-
fessional ranks, the G-Men have
compiled a record this season
that would please the most SKeptl-
cal coach.
The foremost quintets in and
around washington have fallen
before the sharp shooting G-Men.
AS a matter of fact. only one team
has beaten the Government
Sleuths the present campaign.
The honored team is the Dis
trict WPA, which boasts such tai
ented players as Ollie Upton,
Sammy Hook, Bill Noonan, Bernie
Lieb, Reds" Schieble and Bobby
Lucas. However, the Sleuths re-
deemed themselves by taking the
next two engagements from the
Works Progress Administration.
All Play Well
Every member of the Bureau OF
Investigation has figured proml-
nently in its successful drive to-
ward Southern recognition, but
two PLAYERS stand out above the
rest, They are the Thompson
brothers Jimmy and Herbie, who
three years ago starred at Duke
University. Not only have this
pair accounted for the majority
of the G-Men's points, but they
have performed brilliantly on the
floor.
The rest Of the squad includes
Monk McCartee, Joe Robinson
Bernie Jones, Roger Leverton, For.
rest Burgess and Tom Lynch. all
of whom at one time or another
have seen service in collegiate
circles.
An overwhelming favorite TO
win The Washington Times golo
awards. Bureau of Investigation is
tied with Senate Beer for first
place in The Washington Times
Community Center League, with
three victories and no defeats.
The Sleuths moved in with Sen
ate Beer Saturday night when they
subdued a stubborn Little Tavern
team, So to %. Colliflower's crew
was forced t , dig deep into its bag
of tricks before emerging vlctorl-
Gus. Just to give you an idea how
close the game was the score was
% to % in favor of the SleuthS at
half time.
With Herbie Thompson sinking
five straight baskets, the Omen
smothered the Little Tavern'S at
tack in the final half.
WPA in Triumph
Federal WPA won its first league
game Saturday, defeating Jewish
Community Center, SO to 80. Be
fore the season started, J. C. c. was
given an outside chance to cop the
flag, but it just can't click in
league competition. The Center
team has run up a long victory
string in independent circles, how
ever.
Don Fones, late of Central High,
and Bad" Badger, who possesses
one of the finest pair of scoring
eyes in the loop, led the attack
for WPA. Fones made II points
and Badger Is.
Jewish Community Center and
WPA will see action again tonight,
but they will be facing different
opponents. J. C. C. meets Labor
at tbs o'clock and WPA plays
Little Tavern at 9. Both games
are listed at Tech High School.

my mammals Christmas present be-
cause mamma is a washer-woman and
has to be out in the cold so much that
her hands get cold.' That is true Civ
ing.
Our gifts at this Christmas season
should, also, be gifts of friendship.
The tie of friendship isaone of the
strongest ties of the human heart.
Your Christmas gifts should be such
that they will strengthen this tie. A
true friend is an inspiration as we'll as
a comfort, not SO much by what he
does for us as by what he incites us to
do and be, because of his example, his
deeds and his ideals. Friendship
cheers like a sunbeam: charms like a
good story; inspires like a brave lead
er; 'tinds like golden chain; and
guides like a heavenly vision
The best gift we can make is to give
ourselves to Christ. There has been
no gift which has meant so much to
the world as Gods gift of his only
Sen. God made his gift to us. Let us
give ourselves to Him. A story is told
of an Indiean man, to whom the
Gospel was given-the message of the
love of Christ for us. AS he listened
his heart was touched, and he said 81
must give Jesus something. 1 will give
him my dog" This was much for a
poor Indian hunter to give. His dog
was his companion and helper on the
hunt, and he loved him. Because he
loved him and because of his helpful
ness, he placed a high value upon him.
And this possession, worth so much,
he wanted to give Jesus.
He listened to more of the wonder
full love of a more wonderful Savior,
and he said, Il must give him nv
gun" The gum meant his living: but
he was willing to give it to the One
who had given so much for him.
A little while passed. and he said,
81 must give Jesus myself Now the
Indian had reached the place where
God wnated him-the condition of
mind and heart in which he was
ready to give all, even self, to the Son
of God
God wants us to give ourselves to
Him. What an excellent time it is to
make such a gift! Just as we are
thinking of Gods gift to us, and of
presenting gifts to our friends we
should also think of presenting our
selves unreservedly to our Savior.
Let us now join the group around
the cradle.

endorsed by Major Arthur Fulk, head
of the State Highway Patrol and di-
rector of the Safety Division of the
Motor Vehicle Department.
Such campaign has been launched
by the executive committee of the
National Safety Council. It has been
endorsed by Governor Clyde R. Hoey
in a recent proclamation calling on
all citizens to cooperate in it's sue
cess. <
A "Safe and Sane Christmas Re-
solution" of the council calls atten-
ton to the fact that each Christmas
a vast number of American citizens
are slaughtered by traffic on the
streets and highways. 1t cities the fact
that last Deem er the human toll
reached the terrifying total'' Of 4,29O
more Americans than were killed in
the Revolutionary War.
Another whereas clause points to
the hurry and hustle of holiday ac-
tivities,- the icy streets, lowered visi-
bility, sleet and snow and fewer hours
of daylight as contributory factors in
making driving at this time parti-
cularly dangerous.
The council urges all citizens to
replace Indifference with indigna-
ton, to temper sentiment with sanity,
and to interpret the Christmas spirit
of good will in concrete terms of pro-
tecting life and limb on. the high
way"
Specific recommendations are that
all participate in the campaign by
being careful and considerate of
others on the streets and highways,
whether driving or walking; by driv-
ing and walking with special caution
during the holidays; by not DRIVING
after drinking, and by supporting
strict enforcement of the laws against
reckless and drunken driving"

ed an earnest sermon against sin, try
ing to bring the subject home to the
hearts of his hearers. The little girl
listened with wide-open eyes, and sud-
denly, turning to her mother, in great
distress, she whispered, Mamma, he

Christmas is the universal festival.
The world. is on pilgrimage to Bethle
hem today because the worlds Savior
was born there. j esus is the Savior for
all races: the Hebrew with his re-

Roman with his strength, the civilized
man with his refinement and the
savage with his colrseness- Savior
for all sorts and conditions of people,
l have read that somewhere in En-
rope there is a bridge with pictures
of Christ on its sides. One picture re-
presents him as a peasant, another as
q physician, still another as a car
penter, and yet another as teacher.
The thought of the artist was to por-
tray a Savior suited to every class.
Jesus is this, because he goes beneath
the surface of mems lives and touches
the deeper need and this need is the
same in all men.
Luke tells about the shepherds.
They were of the poor class of peo-
pie, yet the message: was for them,
and they were drawn to the manager in
which the Christ-Child lay, and went
away rejoicing.
III. In The Second Group We Find
The Wise Men.
The angel preacher and the heaven
ly choir were followed by the Mage
the story runs, "And when they were
come into the house, they saw the
young child; with Mary, his Mother,
and fell down and worshipped him
and when they had opened their treas
ures, they presented him with gifts;
gold, frankincense, and nnyrrh."
The. choir cannot voice the entire
Christmas spirit. The .Magf are need
ed The song must be accompanied
by the agiftAgold, frankincense and
myrrh. The sentiment of the wise
men found, its expression in gifts.
They gave gold--a gift, to relieve
wants, and it probably was used on
the journey to Egypt. The y gave
frankincense, a gift of fragrance. It
was the most fragrant Of all incense,
and was burned before the veil of the
temple and in the most Holy place
They gave nnyrrh-a gift of friendship.
It was given when one wanted to
show real friendship. From these gifts
we get an excellent Christmas lesson.
It is impossible for us to gether a.

our gifts to the Lord, but he has said,
"Inasmuch as We have done it unto
the least of these etc.

blessing when they can be used for
the relieving of human suffering.

Many experienced tobacco curers
from throughout this section are al

Around countless totacco barns in the

Canadian farmers are required to

of Granville county, was instrumental
in establishing the tobacco growing
industry in Canada, and growers of
the Dominion have annually depend
