Letters Written Congressman

AT a meeting in Durant this week sponsored by the
mamma Club representatives of all the clubs in Durant
agreed to urge every individual member of each club to
write President Roosevelt, Senator Bilbo and Senator
Harrison and Representative Wilmington, urging a con-
unuarce OF the Public Works Administration in its
present form.
This is vitality necessary if Durant is to get an ap-
preparation for a new school building. Unless the PWA
Is continued in its present form we are liable to lose the
rating we now hold at the head of the list.
1t is believed if the PWA is continued in its present
form that Durant will get its appropriation just as soon
as the appropriation is made.
Since the new school is a matter of concern to all
Oh us 1T behooves each of us to do everything in our
power to bring it about.
Write those letters, today!

Baseball and Ringing of
Bells Is Banned in Town

SENECA FALLS, N. Y.-Playing
ball and ringing bells are taboo in
the central New York village, but
authorities would have difficulty en-
forcing the laws.
Still on the statute books, and new
er repealed, is law passed in 1918
which forbids bell ringing in public.
No one seems to know why ring
ing bell in public was such a nui-
sance rs years ago. However, au-
thorities who might attempt to en-
force the ordinance strictly would
find difficulty surmounting another
law, written later, which warned:
every bicycle, tricycle., automo-
bile or motorcycle driven in any
street shall be equipped with horn,
bell or other signal and such bell or
other signal shall be used in giving
warnings to pedestrians or other
vehicles when necessary"
Kite flying and ball playing also
are against the law in Seneca Falls.
An old law says boys cannot fly
kites or play ball or even throw
ball in any public place, except on
a public playground-and Seneca
Falls has no public playground.

Argentine Pilots Defeat
The Bugaboo of Darkness

BUENOS AIRES. - Argentina's
warplanes no longer seek their bases
at shutdown.
Air force pilots, with the help of
United States planes and instruc-
tors, have at last conquered the bug
aboo of darkness which long had
grounded most airplanes on this con-
tinent. From modern base in SUBJ
urban Ell Palomar, units of the mod
ernized air corps make nightly
training flights over the capital. The
minister of war-apparently reason
ing that if Argentines could fly at
night others might try it also-has
ordered the creation of new divi-
sion of anti-aircraft defense for the
Argentine army.
All types of planes are to be used
in the new program: training craft,
scouts, speedy all-metal pursuits,
and heavy bi-motored bonbers.
