THIS N THAT ABOUT THE
SENIOR HIGH
Last Friday was a big day for
the high school. The first thing that
happened was a four-reel movie on
the discovery Of alcohol and its pre-
sent day uses. At eleven-thirty Mr.
Bergen, a scientist who had visited
cur school three years ago, talked
on the important uses of dry ice
and the latest discoveries OF
science.
At two o'clock in the afternoon a
hour and a half pep fest was given.
School songs and speeches from
some of the members OF the facul-
ty and the students followed. Over
500 students then marched through
the streets yelling, We'll beat
Melrose!" They stopped in the mid
die of Main Street to sing and give
few yells. To send the boys off in
fighting spirit the students and
faculty led by our cheer leaders
had a pep fest on Tuesday and
Thursday.
On Wednesday morning the two
assemblies were entertained by the
Alex exchange program. The pro-
gram consisted of novelty numbers
played by the band, dialogue, a
modern version Of Romeo and JUL
let, magic act, eight swingsters
led by Peter Unumb, violin quar-
tet and vocal interpretations to a
few popular songs. The program
was especially enjoyed by all stu
dents and we hope to be able to re-
turn one equally good.

Tht district tournament won BY
Sank Centre last week seems to bt
the only conversation topic left In
Sank Centre. Even the weather IL
inconsequental. But then, who
wouldn't talk about it. That game
will be talked about for years te
come. I, for one, am going to save
that story for my grandchildren.
IF sportsmanship trophy was Civ.
en- this year 1t would most likely
have gene to Deer Creek. Melrose
people felt mighty depressed after
losing that game. Those Of you
who saw the game will remember
the grand feeling Of exaltation
which surged within you after that
long shot swished through the air.
Well, imagine the opposite OF what
you felt. That is how Melrcse folks
were affected.
They talk about the great num-
Der of cigars smoked at a political
gathering; pop drank at race
tracks; peanuts eaten at ball parks;
but 1t Is good old chewing gum at
the district tournament. Every
other person had q wad Of rubber
jaw-stufF' in their faces. That is at
every game except the, final tilt
there was no time to chew, every
body yelled.
And, Oh my, such noise they did
make. While the teams were bat
thing on the floor trying to out
play each other the two cheering
sections tried to out-yell each 9TH
'er. It Is not known who Of the
cheering sections won.
Did you know that Tom Ar
Wig, Of Melrose, and well known in
Sank Centre. Is a fraternity brother

Those boys Kleber, Ahles,
Moore, pacing the Melrose
crew deserved to go into the
finals. They were Jas nifty ball
players as strobe onto that
court -.
Most authorities agreed that
Sank Centres team was the finest
coached team in the district . 4.
Toftness is a tournament coach
All season he primed them fer 1t.
They reached the peak Of their per-
formances in the tournament when
for the first time all season they
won more than one game in a
row Presumably they met the
strong men Of the district in the
first game. Parkers Prairie had
two ace men, Abbot and Schrader,
who were dangerous. Toftness fig
ured them cut, put on his best Of
fensive, and Abbot for the first
time all year was held without a
field goal It was tremendous
coaches victory with the aid of a
ball club that really put on a de-
fensive battle ..
Unknowingiy, perhaps, the
district champ was picked In
the first round. Some maintain
that Parlzers could have gone
through the district had they
slkirted the Sank Centre Skin
mish. But no one knew, or
could hazard more than q
rough guess, the district champ
before that last item seconds of
play ) Whether the district
champ would have originated
from the first round Parkers-
Sank Centre clash is purely
hypothetical -.
Here's what happened when
Sank Centre defeated Melrose for
the district championship. Melrose
does not now feel that Sank Gen.
ire is afraid of their competition.
For the first time in so many
Sank Centre stood squarely
behind game ball club. It marked
a revival in athletic interest that
will not be lost right soon Sank

Horne Cites
Activity in
Construction

Passed by Congress on February
|, and signed by the president two
days later. the amended housing
act has already become an active
vital element in the solution of
Southern California's housing pro-
gram, o. G. Horne. manager of the
Security First National Bank in
Ell Centre announced today.
Chief interest in Title II of the
Housing Act centers about a new
type of loan, not heretofore offered.
This is 25-year, 80 per cent loan
which permits the purchase of a
home with only 10 per cent as a
down payment. 1t is restricted to
loans of $5,400 and under, and the
property must be owner-occupied
Maturity may be 25 years, as com
pared with 20 years for other loans,
and lower mortgage insurance
premium "a of per cent? is charg-
ed.
Supplementing the new 90 per
cent loan is a combination loan,
granting credit of go per cent for
the first $4,000 of the appraised
value, and 30 per cent thereafter
up to $4,000. The maximum loan
on $4,000 valuation is $1,000. The
combination feature extends the
benefits of the 80 per cent loan. in

and careful detailed checkups will
be made between April "a and Both,
when the contest ends. Prize win

made this week as to how awards
will be delivered.
Every contestant should take
immediate steps to cleanup their
yards, cut the grass, and make the
property neat in appearance" Ry-
erson said. Judges who made pre-
liminary surveys last week state
that many places where there has
been pronounced improvement, have
uncut yards, untidy parkings or
alleys, or trash in conspicuous
places. No one should miss out on
an important prize because of a
last minute sloppy appearance.
Pronounced improvement in all
parts of the city was reported
Judges reported that at least 100
homes, who failed to enter the con-
test would have stood a good
chance of winning a prize if they
had entered, Ryerson said.
A general aspect of city wide i'm
provement has resulted from the
contest it was said, and many peo-
pie have phoned the Chamber of
Commerce commencing the beauti-
fication program.

they often do great damage to the
larger trees also. Mealy bugs are
also sucking insects as are thripS,
red spider and the various kinds
of scale. The most common vari-
cites of scale are the oyster shell
scale, named so because of their
shape and appearance, the Syca-
more scale, the European elm scale,
the black scale, red scale and pur-
pie scale. All of these sucking in
sects must be controlled by the
application of a contact spray.
That is the spray must destroy by
coming in actual contact with the
insects and not by merely being
applied to the foliage of the plants
upon which they are feeding. The
spray most commonly used for this
kind of work is an oil emulsion
to which nicotine has been added
Entomology Is a study to which
a man may devote lifetime and
Naturally it is impossible to give
more than a general idea of the
principles of pest control in one
brief article One fact not generally
known to the layman is that any
given variety of insect is apt in
a few years time to build up an
immunity to poison to which
it was formerly susceptible. This
is possible through the law OF
survival of the least susceptible and
because of the rapidity with which
they multiply. The life span of
many insects is only few weeks
but each one when he dies leaves
thousands of descendants. Because
of the long life span OF the human,
it takes centuries to definitely fix
racial characteristic. Because of
the short life span of an insect it
takes only a few years to establish
characteristic. So if you spray
your plants with certain kind of
poison to destroy a certain kind OF
beetle and there is one beetle in
your garden which has a resis-
tance to that kind of poison, the
world may soon be overrun with
beetles which are immune to that
kind of poison. Then the entomol-
ogists must experiment until they
discover a new method of control
for that kind of beetle.
For those who have only small
amount of spraying to do, the best
method would probably be to buy
one of the commercial preparations
which may be obtained from any
seed house or nursery, then you
need only to dilute with water
according to directions. But be
sure that you know whether you
are spraying for chewing insect
or for a sucking insect, and then
buy your spray material accord
ingly.
