Harring- ton had no immediate comment on a sprearding series of work stoppages throughout the country, called in protest against the new relief law which terminates the policy of pay- ing relief workers prevailing" wages. The new law compels WPA clients to work 130 hours @ month for the same pay that some of them formerfly received for 50 hours or less of work monthly.

Opposed by Citizens
OF Columbia Heights
Forum Feors Added
Troffic Menace on
Thirteenth Street

The Citizens Forum of Columbia
Heights last night went on record as
opposing the proposed widening of
Thirteenth street between Monroe
street and Spring road NV.
While the two-block- long stretch
acts as bottleneck and creates a
definite traffic hazard" the associa-
ton brought out that widening Of
the street would speed up traffic,
thereby endangering the lives of
school children and pedestrians in
that vicinity.
Damage to the property adjacent
to the two blocks was also discussed.
Residents said they had been as
sured such a project affecting their
property would not be undertaken.
If the street is widened, the forum
voted unanimously to demand that
the cost be borne entirely by the
gasoline tax.
Nominations were announced as
follows: For president, Spared A.
Wood; first vice president, S. M.
Walter; second vice president, Mrs.
Nellie K. Fernald; secretary, Thomas

weeks tests we're due Nancy
hadn't been studying, so the
night before the test was due
was her only chance.
When ten o'clock came Nancy
vas picture of solitude in the
lamplight, alone in a quiet
house.
Suddenly steps were heard
going around the house. The eff
feet was like electricity. Now
there was a scratching noise on
the screen. Certainly not a
burglar! She gathered all her
courage together; the noise was
only a cat.
A stampeding sound was
heard similar to horses running
hut there was not horse

The house was suddenly filled
with queer sounds. Nancy took
a deep breath. Now what? Only

the next six weeks she will

SPORTS EDITOR, GUS"

The BIG HORN staff has b=en
very fortunate this year in hay
ing Blaine Gustafson as its
Sports Editor. And may we add
that Bette Mann has handled
her side of the sports data
with skill.
Perhaps you're asking Just
what Blaine has done. Well, I'm
sure that he was a familiar
figure along the sidelines at
football games the past season
Blaine was covering each
game-very well, too. And his
stories were front page" ma
terial. Yes, Blaine was very
much responsible for the sta
tistics and interesting accounts
of Hardin'.s encounters.
Besides his excellent work at
the field Of action. he gave US
his Sports Static" which was
nicely received.
It is Blame, then. to whom
we are so deeply indebted. He
has done grand work with the
football games ard will con-
tirue with basketball.
Whenever you are in doubt
about the athletic activities OF
Hardin, Just ask "GuS'-he
knows all the answers.

us on the spot we have been

up" the main teams of the con-

they look like this.

Forsyth-In the depths Of de-

tet with only inexperienced men

ence title.
