Football News
After several years of having SOC
Ger as the fall sport, the boys of
Millsboro High School voted this
week to play six-man football. Ele-
Yen-man football was discontinued
in 1884 because of the lack of play
ers, to the poor condition Of the
equipment, and to the lack of funds
for purchasing new equipment. The
newer game is much safer, more
economical, and is much more suit
able for small schools. It is rapidly |
becoming a popular fall sport in
small high schools throughout the
country.
Before Millsboro High can adopt
six-man football an entire outlay Of
new equipment must be purchased
for the sake of the boys safety and

RADIANT LIVING
CAN ONE DO TOO MUCH9
BY Rev. c. NJ. Griffith
Methodist Pastor of
Deals Island, Nd.

Christians who have caught the
spirit of their Master do not hest
tate to render service to others
even when it might require a sacri-
flee on their own part.
In this they follow the spirit OF
Jesus who declared: Il came not to
be ministered unto, but to minister. u
Jesus never considered how people
should serve Him. He was always
looking for opportunities to serve
others.
The man who has the spirit of
Christ in his heart wants to do
something for Him. If there is no
opportunity to serve. he will make
an opportunity. The Spirit of God
is creative When the Spirit of God
is in your heart there will be a rest
less desire to be constantly creating
good.
have heard some complain: II
have been obliged to do more than
my share!" / have heard others de-
clare: Let somebody else do this!"
But when Peter was being crueified
head downward, did he complain: Il
am doing more than my part?" When
Paul was nearly stoned to death did
he ever growl: I've stood enough,
somebody else can have my place!"
Rather the suffering apostle wrote:
For our light affiiction which is for
a moment, worketh for us a far
more exceeding and eternal weight
of glory"
Are you growing tired of the
Christian work which you have been
doing? Recall the experiences of
Christ in dark Gethsemane. Recall
His terrible agony on grim Golgotha.
And recall the fact that it was for
you! Then ask your soul, Can l do
too much for Him."

By the Associated Press.
Walter Johnson. speedball king of
other days, took to the radio last
night to urge a Republican victory
and return to the American way
of life"
The Big Train. now a farmer and
Republican candidate for county
commissioner in Montgomery Coun-
ty, Md, declared in a speech pre-
pared for a Nation wide network
that he didn't like the way things
are going" John Hamilton. Repub-
lican national chairman. introduced
him. and his address was distrib-
uted to the press by the National
Committee
The American way, the one-time
baseball star said, is competition
and private enterprise. Instead of
having 100000 unemployed today,
he said, the Nation would have
solved its economic troubles if pri-
vate initiative had been unham-
pered.
The Government in Washington,
trying to get control of everything,
has made it impossible for indi-
viduals to get their teeth into the
trouble and start us toward the top
again" he asserted.
The former Washington baseball
star went on to assert that Repub-
licans could provide social security
better than the present administra-
ton. The Republicans won't be so
reckless about it." he said.
He criticized the social security re-
serve fund as unnecessary.
ut just gives the administration
in power big pot of money at the
elbow, and it would take a strong
minded administrator to keep from
spending it-a stronger one than
we have had yet, for the New Deal
has spent that money" he asserted.
He accused Democrats of warn
