There isn't any doubt but that the
trimming the Oakland High soccer
team administered to Kitzmiller did
the latter team some good.
No matter how good team really
is, when there is a feeling that all
other teams are inferior and that there
is nothing to worry about, then there
is real danger of trouncing taking
place. Overconfidence is something to
steer away from, both by players and
instructors.
Yet there isn't any doubt, either,
that Ktizmiller soccer teams are year
after year the best in the county. The
Kitzmiller boys live, sleep and pracu-
cally eat soccer during the season. The
little kids play it most of the time and
they know something about it when
they get to high school. It's the prac-
tice that makes the great difference.
notwithstanding the fact that coaches
play their part.
Practicing and having ones heart
in the game are almost necessary for
excellence in any sport.

Most anyone who has seen the
Worlds Fair and has gone into the
Russian building, wonders about the
United States government allowing
Russia to exhibit and faunt such pro
paganda about communism.
The Russian building is simply full
of communistic propaganda and natur-
ally a lot of it is absorbed by the Fair
visitors.
However it is our own opinion that
suppression would help the commu-
nistic cause instead of hold it down.
America was developed by people who
came from other countries to get away
from persecution, suppression, and
such like. People in America have the
right of free speech, religious liberty.
ETC., and to attempt to suppress
knowledge of communism or some
other ism, or to try to persecute those
who believe in it, would tend to make
the United States as bigoted and mar
row minded as the countries from
which our ancestors fled.

Benefits of Gadding About

It's funny about the discovery Of
America. Several people did it without
planning to and without realizing what
they had done. There was the Morse
sea captain, Herjulsen, who was blown
far out of his course in 986 A. D., and
came quite unwilling upon NewfOund-
land and Labrador.
Columbus himself was looking for
new route to the Orient and only hap
pened upon the New World because
it blocked his course.
Then there is the name America be-
slowed in honor of a man who didn't
come over until five years after Column
bus and who seems to have been cred
tied by early geographers with more
than he actually accomplished, Those
early visitors searched for new routes
to India, they searched for gold, one
sought fountain of youth, and so on.
There is this to be said for all OF
them-if they had stayed at home and
not searched for anything at all, two
rich continents would have remained
undiscovered and the adventures
themselves unknown.
On a smaller scale: It's funny about
the discovery of Garrett county. You
go somewhere without much planning
and come upon such beautiful and un-
usual sights that you wonder why you
hadn't discovered them before. You
resolve to know more about Garrett
county.
Of course you aren't discovering a
part of the county that hasn't been
discovered before. But you are discov-
ering something that is new to your
own self, and such discovery is of I'M
told good.
Such discovery was trip through
Districts Numbers II and last Sun
day over the Bittinger, Dry Run and
Savage River roadways. 1t may look
commonplace to those residing there,
but to those never seeing it before, it
is a revelation. Beautiful mountain
views from the top, and lovely scenery
all the way down the slopes and from
the valleys, looking up. The autumn

should have the right of exhibition.
The more light that is shed on the or
ganization Of communism or naziism
or any other ism, the more people will
believe that the American way is the
best way. The spotlight on isms will
be their downfall
Some American people may never
see the light, but the majority of the
American people are not so dumb.
They like their liberty too well.
