SOr0SiS Club Thursday

Mrs Thomas HOrner was hostess
to the Sorosis Club Thursday after
noon at her home on College street.
This was the clubs first meeting with
Mrs. HOrner in her new home, which
was beautiful indeed in its Christ
mas decorations of holly, running
cedar and Christmas candles. The
mantle in the living room was bank
ed with holly and two candelabras
with red candles. In the fireplace was
a beautiful snow scene of a castle
on high hill, sloping down to a lake
with cedar trees topped with snow
and reindeer scattered here and there
and a tiny Santa standing near a
miniature Christmas tree.
Christmas Carols were sung by the
members of the club, and Mrs. p.
H. Rose had charge of the program,
"Christmas in Many Lands" She
told brief story of the Bethlehem
scene and the birth of the Christ
child, and told the history of Christ
mas on through the ages down to
Christmas at the present time in diff
ferent countries, England, Germany,
Holland, Austria, France, Mexico.
hawaii ana Ine FnlllpplneS. Pictures
OF Christmas in these lands were
shown. Each member, then in turn,
told of what Christmas meant to her
or read some little Christmas verse or
poem. These were indeed interesting
and expressions very sweet.
Mrs. Homer invited her guests into
the dining room where there was a
beautiful appointed table carrying

former Chicago Cub shortstop
and now a full-fledged member OF
Bill Terry's New York Giants. He
was traded, you know, in the four,
player swap engineered by the
Cubs and Giants last December in
the biggest player deal in the
National League.
The Cubs gave up Jurges and
Outfielder Demaree in exchange
for Shortstop Dick Bartell and
Outfielder Hank Lieber. but the
experts of the diamond sport are
of the opinion that the Gotham
team got the better of the trade.
LIKES TRADE
"Sure, I'm glad to be traded
to New York, because that's my
home town - well, not quite
home, you know, but near
enough. I live in Brooklyn, just
across the river" says Bill, as
he goes through strenuous eXer-
cises mapped out for his train
ing season. And he is rarin' to
go. His contract-a good one
has been signed, and he is
groomed for the regular short
field post, the same job that he
held in the Windy City.
"It looks to me like five
team battle in the National
League race this year. OF course,
we'll be in the thick of it, and
so will the Cubs, Pirates, Reds
and Cardinals" says Jurges, as
he balances a 135-pound cross
bar weight across his shoulders.
But he won't pick the eventual
winner, although you know darn
well he thinks it is the Giants.
REPORTS MARCH 5
"I'm staying here until March /
and then Ill drive to Baton Rouge,
Louisiana, the Giant training
quarters. I'm supposed to report
for duty, March S. Say, what kind
Of a town is Baton Rouge?" the
ex-Cub asks.
We told him it is the State Cap
ital and the seat of Louisiana
State University made famous by
the late Senator Huey P. Long.
Also, that's the spot (the writer
believes) where the State Capitol
building is a skyscraper or some
thing.
Bill says his heavy training has
enabled him to gain nine hounds
during six weeks of work. IF
gain another two or three pounds
will be at my playing weight, "
he says.
Jurges has been living at 230
North Highland Avenue. Arling-
ton, Va, throughout the winter.
He likes Washington and Virginia
and the fellows he has met around
here.
Yeah, I'm a regular Virginian,
now, I guess" he says.
