SCOTT WIPES
CATS FISH LEAD

Roy Scott this week had wiped
out a substantial lead and had
launched a movement Of his own
that brought the lead in the Ro-
tary-Black Cats fishing duel back
into the Rotary Club. His Sunday
catch Of 9 and a quarter pound
northern was good enough to take
the weeks lead. It topped the
some over seven FOUNDER that Ed
Nathe had given the Cats cause.
The duel runs to June 18th.

This Rotary Black Cats fish
ing duel may lead into some
proportions before the closing
date on the 18th Of June. -.
The Lads are all jumpy over 1t
and the deal is that the club
with the largest fish, not the
largest string, Is the winner.
As winner the club Is entitled
to eat q fine dinner with the
other boys footing the bill. -.
Ray Fish Is most anxious that
the Black Cats should win. So
Is Cy Burke. Ed Nathe did
something about It last week
when he hooked q seven pound
plus northern, which isn't too
big but It's best yet. I can
see where the boys may have
q little trouble on comparative
catches. For instance, how
does Rotarian Bob LatteralPs

compare to a Z pound north

st. Paups school had q play

Best match Of the week in golf
ended in darkness the other night
when Vic Sieben and Russ Shulze
plodded into a ten hole frame in
the night. Then they called halt
on account of darkness. It
finally wound up with Vic win
ming up on the 18th hole Sunday
morning. But that night play was
a daisy. They went up the sew
enth against the light Of the al
ready trundled off to bed sun. But
the 9th they played by ear listen
ing for the fall Of the ball. Z.
The deal is they never even lost
a ball!
The match Is only one of sew
eral that 60 on each week In
the 9-week stretch of team
tournament that finds 50 golf
ers In the field. Pat Dubois,
tournament chairman, says the
outlook for enthusiasm this
year Is above par, and gaining.
The weekly tournament rounds
are progressing nicely, with q
few postponed matches, but
they're attempting to get 1t all
up to date.
Golf tragedy: Little Falls Har-
rison Guild, in Sundays short stop
tourney, smashed a ten buck club
he had bought only this spring. F..
On top Of that he lost the hole to
Sim Wiener. The latter he regret
ted less. Clubs were so slippery
in Sundays rain it was hold tight
or lose your grip. :. Even at that
the boys had SO entries that swarm
ed out in the drizzle.
Vern SOltau and son, Bud, re-
turned from the north cOuntree
last week after fishing ex-
cursiOn in the Border Lakes
Region where the country Is
rough and the boys are glad Of
1t. That's the reason they
go there. Vern and Bud
found several things Q) It was
too early for lake trout, (2)
but they got dozen along with
the party, (3) the lake they
wanted to fish was still froz-
en-. They drove some 600
miles, had q weekend that left
them sitting around not want
ing to work. They said the
absence Of snow last winter
sent the ice down to phenom-
email depths in the north lakes.

of Vern, goes bear hunting. q. e..
The boys were ching and ahing
that he should choose this season
of the year for his bar ventures
because now, those who know say,
bears are clubbing and vicious.
What happened in the light Of that

not say definitely that the French
have advocated more active policy
and have been restrained by the
British, 1t would be quite conceivable
to any one well acquainted with the
character of the French military
and naval stats that these would
be unlikely to be permanently con-
tented with the policy of inaction.
Moreover, there is probably some-
thing in the contention of the off,
cial German news bureau DNB)
that the attacks on Sylt are in
tended, in part, to produce an effect
on the neutral nations; not so much,
however las the Germans claim
to counteract the Scapa Flow affair
as to counteract the unfortunate
impression produced in neutral
countries by the allied failure to
help Finland.
Neutrals Cannot Feel Easy.
Obviously, after considering the
fate which has befallen the Poles
and the Firms, no neutral power is
going to feel very easy in its mind
II its safety depends on allied guar
anties-an uneasiness which must
certainly be accentuated by a do
nothing policy on the part of the
allies toward Germany, which can
only be counteracted by some very
definite and preferably successful
indications that the allies mean
business and intend to vigorously
prosecute the war.
Thus, while the characteristics of
the attacks on Sylt do not, as above
remarked, necessarily indicate the
beginnings of a change of policy,
there exist very sound military and
political reasons for such a change
and, coming at such a time, these
operations assume a significance
considerably beyond their intrinsic
Importance. Indeed, Scapa Flow
and Sylt may perhaps have initiated
that nightmare of bombing attack,
reprisal and counter-reprisal which
has haunted Europe's dreams these
many years and which, once really
begun, may lead to results which
no man can assess.

The Japanese reported their own
dead were 10 officers and 200 men,

Although the Japanese asserted
all danger was past now, an Asso-

in our own best interest, with the
vital need of throwing the weight
of our country's moral and material

order under law, lest the celations

thrust upon us by that catastrophe
Only thus can we keep strong
within, insure the safety and

make our appropriate contribution
toward helping the world as whole
to seek and find the road of peace

SHANGHAI, Jan. 1.-The Jap

had shot down 81 Chinese aircraft
in a big scale battle in South China
and bombed the Haifeng Running
Railroad near the border of French
Indo- China.
The railroad, built, owned and
operated by the French, is one of
China's ':lifelines" for the import Of

Damage to the line was reported
slight, but Chinese were said in
Hong Kong to consider the bombing
significant, since it followed a Jap

The Japanese said that in the
battle over Liuchow, in Central

one plane while bringing down the
81 Chinese.

this came from a Russian patro
and I piled out into the snow again
burying myself deep. When I heart
a scuffe, on the ice OF the road
curiousity made me look up. Two
reindeer stood majestically on the
road, paused for moment and ther
disappeared with crashing noise
into the woods.
Twenty Firms appeared out Of
nowhere within 10 seconds. When
looked closer, I saw number OF
tents and dugouts, all below the
level of the ground and camouflagec
with pines, where the soldiers hac
comfortable, warm quarters. This
was the advance patrol base OF the
advanced Finnish front.
Silently the Firms ate the hot
soup, thick bread and butter and
sausage that we brought them
Nothing was said except one or two
words by the commanding officer OF
the base to the sled driver as the
ammunition on the supply sleds was
unloaded. I went with the COM
manding officer few yards into the
woods, and, had he left me there,
never would have found the dugouts
again, for I heard nothing and saw
nothing but trees and snow.
Two Russians Killed.
On our way back, we heard a sud-
den rif1e-crack about 500 yards tc
our left. BY the time we reached
the dugouts, some men were already
on skis to investigate. There was a
burst of machine-gun fire, then more
sharp rifle cracks that echoed up
and down in the dreadful stiffness
and then silence. The Firms remain
ing at the base had kept on eating
Then a Finn came rushing up on
skis and told the commanding officer
that two Russians were dead, speak
ing In a matter of fact voice that
sounded like a clerk quoting the
bank rate.
With the supplies unloaded and
the soldiers fed. we began the return
Journey with the sleds. The SOL
diers grinned a cherry good-by and
we began tense journey as the
light increased and the Soviet bat
teries on a hill miles to the north
began the morning bombardment
Of a Finnish hill on the east. We
crept at snail's pace, and, for once,
I hated the light, which made the
sleds an easy target for some Soviet
sniper on a hill along our route.
Occasionally we heard the whine of
rife bullets, but we could not hurry
Finally we gladly arrived at the
sheltered post from which we had
started.
Much credit belongs to the men
who make this ever more dangerous
trip day after day, for the nerves
are kept near the swapping point
all the time. When I reached COM
parative safety, I felt tired and
depressed after only one trip. Day
after day, it must be killing.
At the hut there was a pile of
Russian equipment. 1t was like the
tragic pile of goods that is seen on
either side after every battle. As
always, the kitbags contained such
things as women's high-heeled
shoes, stockings, lipsticks and cur
tain material. and, in one, a doll.
These luxuries had been picked up
by the Soviet troops while passing
through Finnish villages. They were
pathetic reminders Of those who
suffer In all wars.
