Coolidge Play
Buckeye to II Tie

The Coolidge Cubs played Buck
eye to hard fought IT tie Friday,
Oct. 7th. The Hawks touchdown
came in the first quarter after
Shoemaker fumbled, and Buckeye
recovered the ball. The Hawks
then began long end runs, and lat
erals which proved successful in
making yardage, and after a thirty
yard run, Wade, Buckeyes striding
full-back, plunged over the line for
the touchdown.
In the second quarter the Cubs
began to come to life, and three
seconds before the half, Jack Bicl-,
ford plunged the line for our touch
down. Shoemaker converted the
extra point.
It looked as though Coolidge
might ring up another score, their
passes were clicking right down
the field until Buckeye intercepted
one of our passes. Before thee
gun shot to end the game the
Hawks were trying desperately to
score again by long passes, but the
Cubs kept them broken up, and the
game ended a II tie.-Herel Bick-
ford.

Where Are You Goinq?
BY MARY PALLAY, Asst Principal Geography School,
Youngstown Ohio

Then forgetting the forma-
lities of Hungarian society, I
began asking questions. DR..
Papp was very glad to answer
them. I also told him of my
meager part in the vast work
here. Dinner was announced,
still we continued talking.
After receiving a second sum-
mons from the lady of the
house, we reluctantly moved
toward the dinning room. At
ter a typical Magyar dinner,
we again resumed our discus
sions of scouting. He showed
me many trophies some
from our own country that the
boys had won. He was very
proud of them, and before I
left Hungary I learned why he
was so proud of Boy Scouts.
Boy Scouting was started
in Hungary four years after
Lord Baden Powell founded it
in England. There are over
500 troops now in Hungary.
The boys are very proud of
their organization and ever on
their toes to do civic duty. It
is time to leave. How the
hours have flown. Before leav-
ing, my hostess presented me
with a dainty little book-mark
Snapped like a small knife.
Many superstitions are still
alive in Hungary. Thus while
receiving this token of a friend
ship, a little ceremony was
enacted. I found myself both
amused and excited = prob
ably a little surprised.

country. Truly the Magyar
people are very generous with
their services and whatever
worldly goods they may pos
sess. They are SO thankful for
little courtesies shown them,
that at times I've wondered if
perhaps this hasn't been the
cause of some of the Hun
garian misfortune.
To Mr.. Andrew Fay Fisher I

showing me the National Mu-
scum. If you want an eff

tasted honestly good Turkish

know the Turks have a special
way of preparing their coffee
which is supposed to be SUI
perior to our way of cooking
coffee.
I found Turkish coffee very
delicious and the little coffee
/ house in which I was served
was the only Turkish place
in Budapest and it has the
distinction of being maneged
by one of the descendants of
a Turkish chieftain, who lived
in Hungary during the Last
Turkish invasion. The whole
setting gave one a feeling of
orientalism, so weird or
different.

my way toward the famous
Calvin Church. It was quite
a walk from my hotel but the
cool morning breeze was
refreshing. Upon entering the
church with my little Viennese
friend, from the boat we found
there was only standing room
left and not much of that
We stood in one of the alcoves
and tried to hear the ministers
message which was being
heard through amplifiers. The
church was large and the
attendance very good. The
services were similar to ours
except that the offering plate
was not passed around. You
may drop in your contribution
as you leave. A little group OF
beggars (whose bodies and
outer garments were scrupu-
losly clean) waited outside the
church door for aims.
Budapest, the Queen of the
Danube, How I would love
to take each and every one
of you to see it for yourself!
The city is ideally located, but
even if this was not the case,
Magyars would soon make it
beautiful with their love for
flowers, trees and parks, -
the last of which the city has
several. In the largest park
which is in the heart of the
city stands a life-like statue of
our own George Washington.
Hungary was the first country
to SO honor an American.
The bathing pools of Buda-
pest and other Hungarian
cities surpass ours in artistic
beauty. Budapest is noted for
it's healthful spas and mineral
baths which bring health
seekers from all over the
world. Their hotels are elegant
the service excellent and the
food superb. The Hungarians
are famous for good food and
invariably believe the way to
a mans heart is through his
stomach. Their fancy pastries
are so delicious that one can
never eat enough.
Statues of the countries
great men of literature, art
science, etc. adorn many OF
the public squares. One misses
the sky scrapers but this is
soon offset by the modern
store fronts with their attrac-
tive window displays.
The streets are kept i'm.
maculately clean by a staff
of men who are employed fol
that purpose. The police are
very courteous and salute you
as you approach them ano
I have had more than one ge
out of his way to direct me
towards my destination.
I found the "Old town" (Bel
varos) interesting with it!
narrow streets, dilapidatee
houses and shops. The city
playground are similar to our,
except that the girl in charg'
has to endure the all-day
gossip of the parents while sh,
is attempting to teach thei
offspring.
The children range from
toddles to young misses of 1!
and 16 summers. Budapest i
modern in every respect an,
one almost has to remind one
self that he or she is not il
United States but in Centra
Europe. The majority of tn
clerks in the larger store
speak English fluently. Durin,

game. which turned ont to h
