came such a nuisance that the town
bailiff had to be called at about 11:3O
and he soon started the boys on their
way to camp.
We have learned on good authority
that the captain who came down to
look after the boys went off with a
young girl and the boys ran riot for
awhile.
We think that it is high time that
the town officials break up such af-
fairs on the public streets of Green's
boro. Let the CCC boys have their
drunken parties at the camp so that
they will not disturb decent people
in Greensboro.

resurrection.
It is the star of the Divine Atone
ment in Christ. And whenever its
rays penetrate the darkness of the
tomb of sin and fall upon the sinner
enshrouded by his sins, a resurrection
from the death of sin into the life of
righteousness takes place.
AS Peter writes in his First Epistle:
"But we are a chosen generation, a
royal priesthood, an holy nation, pc
culiar people; that We should show
forth the praises of Him who hath
called you out of darkness into His
marvellous light"

Last Friday night members from

course we feel that it has been
rather a feature in our scholastic
cap that Mr.. Dexter brought his

Rose was eXasperated past all
caution. She got to her feet and
looked down at the gentleman.
He wa3 expelled from his last
preparatory school, Mr.. Rogers, "
she reminded him.

ed and unmoving. ''Mr. Dexter

much freedom, removed as they

done all she could. She had funk

use running your head against

do is quit and keep on lowering
his marks. After all you'll be leav-
ing at the end Of the school year.
Now don't, for heavens sake, tell
me it's the principle of the thing

Rose said, after q moment,

Well, it's your own funeral
Personally I don't know what
I'd do in your shoes. i haven't the
courage, 1 suppose" Lucy told her.
Boarding the superintendent in
his den was almost literally that,
for Mr.. Rogers had the finest Van
Dyke in the north country and
gave it the fond care one would
bestow upon a beloved child. He
was not overcome with delight to
see Rose, and indeed it took her
some time to reach him, as he ap-
peared remarkably busy all of a
sudden and quite unable to make
appointments.
Finally she went to his house
one evening after supper and was
welcomed there by his wife,
pleasant plump little person who
drew her within and informed her
husband of her arrival. There was
nothing for Rogers to do but re-
ceive her in a singularly morbid
looking den. decorated with all
the ancestral ChromoS and left

been accumulating for the past
thirty years.

She had been told to lay off, virtu-
ally. If she laid off she would
finish out her school year, and be
married. When the contracts
came through she would not sign,
as she was going to resign. Per-
haps it would be just as we'll to

Larry would be leaving at the
end of the rchool year. He would
not, she reflected, get into COL
lege. 1t would take tutoring
school to drag him in by the heels.
But at least he would be gradu-
ated.
Why not wash her hands of the
matter? Once he left school

they had been before.
But would they be? Would not

ment, might that not influence
their own remaining school years,
if not their entire lives.
Rose told herself: you're taking
this too seriously-just because a
boy drinks and CANDLES and shirks
his work, just because a boy is
idle and foul-mouthed and COM
pletely od-for-nothing, is that
any reason why you should
imagine a group of aimilar boys,
following in his footsteps because
they think that he's smart, and
that they'd be smart too-because
he's set a new student fashion?
She reached her house, rosy,
breathing fast from the pace she
had set herself. He eyes were so
dark with anger they were almost
black. On the steps she paused
to look up at the sky it

He said, shouting at her, IF

at the door and looked at him lev

The door closed after her. Mar

He said. Senator Sutton :?

Full strength of the District
Fire Department today was
thrown behind the Christmas
Cheer Clubs campaign to prevent
a single needy Washington child
from experiencing a sorrowful
; Christmas.
Fire Chief Charles E. Schrom
pledged support of the 888 men
in his command in the movement
sponsored by The Washington
Times and the Washington Her
aid, Loew's Theaters and radio
Station WJSV.

fire fighters from now on will con-
vert the 80 station houses of the

for toys such as trucks, automo-
biles, all varieties of iron toys,
scooters, bicycles, kiddie cars,
wagons, wheelbarrows, doll car
riages, furniture, cradles, chairs,
dolls, and good conditioned books.

Ira Ashcroft, 54, wealthy Corona
rancher and bank director; Mrs.
Hortense Ashcroft Voss, So; John
Voss, 80, former school principal
at Prado, and Mrs. Louise Voss
Ashcroft, 27.
The Ashcrofts had been married

VoSs and Mrs. Ashcroft became
acquainted while she was clerk of
the Prado school, and at the same
time the families exchanged

Last June, the then Mrs. Ash

where they remained long enough
to gain divorces from their respec-
tive mates, and married.
Two months ago, Ashcroft and
Mrs. Voss were married, and they
