Silence-Speak not but what
may benefit others or yourself;
avoid trifling conversation.
Order-Let all your things
have their places; let each part
of your business have its time.
Observation-Disclosures to per-
form what you ought; perform
without fail what you resolve.
Frugality-Make no expense
but to do good to others or
yourself; that is, waste nothing
Industry - Lose no time; be
always employed in something
useful; cut off all unnecessary
actions.
Sincerity-Use no hurtful de-
ceit; think innocently and just
ly; and. if you speak, speak &C
cordingly. .
One thorn of experience is
worth a whole wilderness Of
warning.
Better keep yourself clear
and bright; you are the window
through which you must see
the world.

"REBECCA"

Daphne du Maurier, author of
the book "Rebecca" was born
May 10, 1907, and is still liv-
ing. Her birthplace is London
Daphne du Maurier is the
granddaughter of George Maur-
Ter, author of Peter IbetSon."
She began writing when nine
teen, and has been writing since
that time. Most of Miss du
Maurier's time is spent in Corn
wall, England. In 1888 she mar
ried Captain George Browning.
They have one daughter, Tessa.
One of the chief characters of
the book is Rebecca.
The story takes place chiefly
at Manderley, one of the finest
country estates in England, al
though parts of the story are
laid at a famous French resort.
1t fits into present-day life. The
book is a modern one.
1t is a rather fantastic story,
but might happen in everyday
life.
The ending is happy in some
ways, and sad in others. I did
not like the ending particularly,
although it ends the book well.
How the story goes:
A young girl is visiting IN
Monte Carlo with her employer,
a woman of the social climber"
sort. Just at that time the
people are discussing the death
of MaXimilian de Winters beau
tiful charming wife, Rebecca.
The woman Immediately, there
for, jumps at the chance to be-
gin a conversation with Mr. de
Winter.
Strangely enough, Maxim falls
in love with the WOman'S paid
companion," and they are soon
married.
When the young girl goes to
Manderley, her husbands estate,
she is awed by the servants, and
the houSekeeper, Mrs. DanverS,
in particular. The gentry of the
neighborhood are rather sur
prised at de Winters second
wife because she is so different
from Rebecca. who was a gra-
cious, lovely woman.
One time, after a storm on
the nearby ocean, a Dutch ship
was grounded on rocks, and the
ships diver, in exploring the
ocean beneath the ship, found
a small sailing vessel on the
ocean floor. 1t is the boat that
was carrying Rebecca when she
had been drowned. Queerly
when the small boat is exam
med it seems it had been scut-
tied and had flooded because Of
three holes in the floor.
Maxim confesses to the SECOND
Mrs. de Winter that he killed
Rebecca because she Knocked
him and was unfaithful. Both hi
and his wife ire afraid now o:
the consequences. The jury
however, brings a verdict o.
mot guilty when it was founc
that Rebecca had had a mali
gnant tumor. All believe SHIT
committed suicide; only Maxim
and his wife know the truth.
At the close, Manderley i
seen burning across the horizon
and Maxim and his wife try tt
| forget what has happened there

Some of the students seem to
think they could do a better
job of re~fereeing than the &C
credited referees who have Of
ficiated at the games. And some
merely shout out comments dur
ing a free throw to hear their
own voices.
The job of a referee is exas-
perating enough in itself with
out the cutting remarks that are
so freely handed out. If you
have been guilty of such re-
marks-cut it out! In no other
way can you show i'll breeding
and poor craftsmanship so
readily.

BASKETBALL INVENTOR DIES

BASKETBALL INVENTOR DIES
d.. James A. Naismith, in
ventor of basketball, died a
short time ago at the age of
10.
He originated the game in
1891 as a winter sport for
youths at Springfield, Mass.
At first there were nine men
on q team and the baskets were
on the floor. Later he reduced
the number of players, elevated
the baskets, and established
rules which have been changed
but little since.

K0PY KINKS

Whether it be trimmed with
rose, gold or in ruby-many are
the cheers for the class rings
of 40. Perhaps that is why the
seniors are constantly raising
their hands to speak - they
want to show the rings off.

ADVICE TO
THE

Dear Uncle Butch:
Since leap year started, the
girls around here have been
running wild. How can we hold
them in check?
Us Boys,
Dear Us Boys:
If you are the timid type, my
advice is to duck for cover. On
the other hand, if you think you
are capable you should take
your medicine like a man. After
all, the girls are just giving you
some of the same as you hand
ed them.

DachshundS
The dachshund's eyes are dim
with love for you, and tender;
The dachshund's form is slim,

I'm glad I'm not the President
And very glad I'm not a king.
There's something grand about
them,
They're blamed for everything.

Mr.. Bright has just COM
pleted another one of his novel
ideas. This one, as most OF
you already know, is that little
gadget that rolls out on the
basketball floor and furnishes
towels, water, and a lemon for
the players. Quite an idea, huh?

Ambition
I wish I were a Budda
Sitting in the sun;

All, all done.
Here lie the bones of Farmer
McMonnie

parting day
A line of cars winds slowly
DER the lea,
A pedestrian plods his absent
minded way
And leaves the world quite
Unexpectedly.

Uncle Butch.

Dear Uncle Butch:
This being leap year I find
myself at a loss. I just don't
know the proper procedure to
follow when asking a boy for
a date. Can you help me out Of
my difficulty?
Eileen Plumb.
Dear Eileen:
My only advice to you is to
live and learn, the same as
the boys did.
Uncle Butch.
Dear Uncle Butch:
I have taken a fancy to a
certain boy here in high school
but he doesn't seem to know
I'm around. How can I attract
his attention?

Dear Jeanne:
I'm sure you could attract
his attention and many others
by wearing a pink blouse, a red
skirt, an orange hair rib
bon, green anklets, and carry
a yellow handkerchief.

CARE FOR YOUR LIBRARY

Comments have come from
the school library to the effect
that the students are very care
less when handling the maya
zines and papers.
1t should not be asking too
much of the readers to handle
the material with a bit more
care and consideration. Just be-
cause you have read a paper is
no sign that you should not
leave that paper in good con-
dition. There are others who
might wish to read it also.
Torn magazines are no assets
to a library. Next time you are
reading one, think of the per-
son who will read it later. If
this is kept in mind, the library
material will be in good condi-
ton and you will again be wor-
thy of the title, high school
student.

Blaine GustafS0n

Bulldogs take over district
lead! BY swapping the Rose
bud team by a score OF 37-!3,
the Bulldogs jumped into the
district lead, and held it, I'M
disputed, for the first time this
season. Heretofore, they had
held it jointly with the Rose
bud quintet.
BY the looks of the admiring
glances toward Manager Bill
Frazer's sweaters, letters, etc.
our guess is that there
will be more students trying
out for Bill's place next year.

September she was interviewed
as to her 'favoriteS" and she
alone chose "Scatterbrain" as
the tops in songs. The other
students hadn't heard of it
then-but now it is enjoying a
remarkable popularity in high
school circles. Nice picking,

Three Bicycles Stolen

Elkton authorities are trying to
run down the vandals and thieves
who played havoc with the new high
school building recently, and are
seeking three boys who stole BIZ
cycles left by pupils of the Elkton
elementary School, near McKenney,s
garage.
Since the opening Of school last
month many of the children who
ride their bikes to school, have been
leaving them during the school hours
on Singerly Avenue, not far from
the school and near McKenney's
garage. Nothing unusual happened
until few days ago, when bikes
owned by Frances Keiffer, Warren
Kennard and Charles Weldin, Jr.,
disappeared.
A woman resident of that section
reported seeing three boys near the
place and when she asked what they
were doing, one replied: Getting
our bikes" No trace of the wheels
have been found.
Forty window panes were broken
and the cafeteria looted in the high
school last week.

Masked Prowler With Gun

A masked man with gun in his
hand demanded admission to the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. James Hugh
es, Elkton Heights, on Tuesday
evening. Mrs. Hughes attention was
called by rap on the bedroom win
dow on the first floor early Tuesday
night. Looking up she saw man
with gun in his hand and mask
over his face. Although frightened
Mrs. Hughes called the police. The
intruder fed at sight of Mrs. Hughes
calling the police. Mr.. Hughes was
not at home at the time.
This is the second time that an at
tempt to rob the Hughes home has
been made. Recently, as member
of the family entered the home,
someone left by an open window.
Apparently the thief had been sur
prised in his act and had not had
time to locate things of value, as
nothing was missing.
According to Sheriff David Ran
dolph, he and Officer Coudon Rey-
nolds have taken into custody man
who has been tentatively identified
as the person who threatened Mrs.
Hughes.

Registration Plans For
October 10Th
Members Of The Draft Board
Must Be Above So Years
Women May Serve

with the registration date set by
President Roosevelt under the Sc
lectiye Service Act, October l6tn,
close at hand, Governor Herbert R.
o'Conor is speeding up arrange
ments throughout the State for this
all-important event.
Charged under the Presidents
proclamation with Maryland respon-
sibility for the registration and the
administration of the Selective Ser
vice Act, Governor O'Conor has as
sumed full command in the func-
tioning of this first Significant Phase
of Preparedness activities.
One of the first important points
stressed by Governor O'Conor is that
acting upon advice from Washing
ton, he will chose for all OF these
Boards men who have passed the
draft age, and who, Therefore, Will
not be liable for service. This means
that no one under thirty-six years
Of age can be appointed to these I'M
portant boards.
In answer to a point that has
come up frequently, Governor o.
Conor has announced that women
may serve as registrars in connec-
ton with the registration on Octo-
Der 18th, but that they will not be
eligible, under the law, for positions
on the Draft or Appeal Boards.
In advance of assurances from
the various counties regarding the
preparedness for Registration Day,
Governor O'Conor is confident that
the Board of Election Supervisors
in each county will have their plans
in such shape that complete reg
istration of all males between the
ages of FL and IS will be effected.
Under the regulations announced
from Washington, it was pointed out
the Governor has authority to ap-
point other registrars. even from
outside the county, if the set-up pro-
vided for does not seem adequate to
handle the assignment in the county.

New Span At Elkton
Completed
State Roads Commission Has
Accepted New Structure
Over The Elk River

The new dual highway bridge &C.
cross the Elk River, just on the OUT
skirts of Elkton, has been completed.
The new structure is in reality
dual bridge, consisting of a separate
span for each lane of the highway,
with a S2-foot space between the
spans.
Each span is supported by con-
crete piers, on top of which run four
heavy steel Orders which run the
length of the bridge. These Orders
are nine feet deep at their heaviest
point and taper to six feet at the
ends. They permit of 25-foot clear
ance above the river at low water.
Above these Orders stretches the
reinforced concrete roadway, 2S8
feet long with a width of 80 feet.
On both sides of each span have
been constructed foot raised walk
ways which serve not only for the
safety of pedestrians but to provide
curb to prevent vehicles from
,crowding too close to the ratings
OF the bridge. The rails are of heavy
tubular steel supported every ten
feet by concrete posts.
Placed at each end of the bridge
curb markers which can be seen by
drivers from a great distance. The
bridge is entirely equipped for cleo
trio lighting should illumination
later be deemed advisable.
