SOME VOCATIONAL
 CASH IN INTERIOR
 BILL FOR TEACHERS

The Senate passed the Interior Department appropriation on June 28 It goes back to the House be- cause of amendments. However, both Houses concurred in the total sum asked for Vocational Educa- tion, a total of $14,483 ,000, for the George-Deen Act and this approp- riation includes $80,000 for Voca- tional Education in Alaska accord ing to a letter received here by A. E. Schoettler, who has been in charge of Vocational Education in Alaska.
 "A plan will be proposed to the U. s. Office of Education whereby a small portion of this money may be made available for reimburse ment of salaries of Vocational teachers, after the salaries have been paid by local schools or in the case of Territorial schools, from the Territorial Treasury" Schoettler said. This may mean saving of approximately $10,000 a year if this plan secures the approval of first the Territorial Board of Education, land then the Office of Education. Because of the failure of the Legis- lature to appropriate funds for ad- ministration and supervision, the refunds to local school districts will probably be limited to that |aloowed by law. No Federal aid for vocational classes can be obtained without the expenditure of Terri torial or local funds, and the reim- Ibursement of these funds is limited Ito 66 2-3 per cent"

BY TOM MORGAN AP Yachting Writer

NEWPORT, R. l., July Mil lions for defense-not a cent re- turn.
 That is the story ol e $50 silver trophy of dubious artistry called the Americas Cup.
 It is battered and bottemless, the better perhaps to let the torrent Of bank notes pour through to the sea, but it is the Holy Grail of yachting.
 Promoters of baseball, football and boxing shake their heads in bewil- derment, and awe, for there is no gate" not one cent return on an outlay which would support thor oughbred racing stable lavishly.
 Even if grandstands could be built along the Rhode Island shore, there would be no take" for the open ocean course off Newport is too dis tant for those who tarry on solid earth to identify the competing sloops.
 Race Is At Sea
 Those who watch TOM. Sopwith's Endeavor I or II c h l le nge the American defender late this month must make day of it, and come in their own yacht or hire places on commercial craft. For the 30-mile course is well out beyond the un- truly water where the Brenton's reef lightship stands guard, champing and tossing at her mooring like an uneasy carnival flying horse.
 To determine how many millions of dollars and pounds have been spent on the Americas Cup, an au- ditor would dig into yellowed rec ords as far back as 1851. That was the year the schooner yacht Amer ica led big British fleet around the Isle of Wight and brought the cup to the United States. Since then there have been 15 invasions of American waters in vain attempts to take the battered old mug back to merry England.
 A very hazy idea of the grand total might be reached if it is un- derstood construction of Ranger leader among the prospective de- lenders, cost Harold s. Vanderbilt between $300,0o0 and s4O0,00O. Add the wages of professional crews, cost and operation of a power tender, backyard bills for periodic overhaul ing, cost of new sails and gear and sundry other expenses-and the to- tai is nothing short of stupendous.
 Morgan On Yachts
 Of course, Gerard B. Lambert's Yankee was built in 1930, and Chan dler Hovey's Rainbow four years later, so the original cost of those defense aspirants have long since been met, but the expense of stor- age, new rigging and canvas and structural changes never ceases.
 As J. P. Morgan once told an in- quirer who was considering the purchase of a yacht: If you must consider cost of operation, you can not afford one"
 With some justice, scribes of oth- CT sports have called the interna- tional classic the worlds worst sporting spectacle Many lads who fancy themselves as experts of the bounding blue will admit, when their guard is down, that they are often unable during much of close contest to say with certainty which of two yachts is ahead
 So, it would be safe to assume many landlubbers who challenge mai de mer and follow the inter national classic, frequently will be in doubt about it's progress, except lat the turning marks and the fin- Iish line.

WIND STORM WRECKS BARN

The roaring gale that swept this

calf and one mule were gotten from
beneath the wreckage, but two Of
the mules were crushed to death.
About thirty neighbors gathered
at the Riley farm on Tuesday, and
working with will cleared away the
debris preparatory to the rebuilding
of the barn. The loss is heavy one
for Mr.. Riley as he carried no insur-

damage.

OXFORD BAPTIST PASTOR RE-
SIGNS

Refusing to sever their relations
with central authority of the Baptist
Church in America, the Oxford, Pa.
Baptist Church accepted the resigna-
ton of their pastor, Rev. H. H. Han
enkrat, after stormy meeting of the
congregation. Rev. Hanenkrat had
embodied this demand, together with
a number Of other provisions, in a
mimeographed communication, which
was presented to each of those pres
emit and which he asked each to sign.
His attitude, As expressed in tba
communication which he asked al!
church members to sign, demanded a
complete abstinence of church officers
and others connected with the con-
gregation from card playing, theatre
going and all worldly amusements.
1t further demanded disarmament
of the Women's Missionary Society,
the Women's Auxiliary, the Guild,
and the abolition of the lesson leaf
lets for the Sunday School.
Quite a number of the members
were unwilling to sign these papers,
insisting that they did not approve
of many of the measures decreed.
They were outspoken in their state
ments that so drastic program
could have no appeal whatever to the
young people, whose support had
been the backbone of the congrega-
ton for many years
1t was because of this difference in
ideas as to the proper province of tn
church that the congregation and Mr..
Hanenkrat agreed to disagree. Those
who held to his views, it is under
stood will join with him in the form
of worship he endorses.
Those continuing their allegianc,
to the congregation, and this number
includes large majority of the mem
bers responsible for the wide influ-
encs of the Baptist Church, will UNI
doubtedly lend their earnest efforts
toward regaining the prestige which
they feel has suffered to some degree
by reason of a divergence of opinion.
