NORTH END PALS
 WIN PARKS FLAG
Blessed Sacraments Blow
 6 Run Lead to Lose 7=6 Encounter

Pitcher Ralph Bradley and his teammates from the Blessed Sac rament parish "blew" a six run lead in the second inning, when they did all their scoring for the day and wound up to losers to the North End Pals for the Public Parks base ball championship. Anothr oddity of the game was provided by the SacS who outhit the winners 12 to g. Irving Benson and Joe Rinaldi hitting well in the seventh to bring in two runs, just enough to win, the Pals getting back five runs in the second and third, in which they scored four markers. Eight runners left on base was the story of the Sacs setback.
 For the winners, Chestone and Cronin went well at bat and in the Field, Joe Kaslosky and Ray Beauty being standouts for the losers. Aside from a rough second inning, Freddy Jacovino pitched good baseball while Bradley was even more effective giving but eight hits. Summary:

 PRO FOOTBALL CLUBS GO WELL
New York and Detroit Squads Held Even; Pack
 CTS, Redskins Win
BY PAUL sCHEFFELs

United Press Staff COrrespOndent)
 New York, Sept. 16-(UP)- Needed with power by a robust influx of college graduates, the Ma tional Professional Football Leagues perennial "also-rans" were defin- itely on the upbeat today.
 The old invincibles of the profes- sional loop-the Packers, Giants, Bears and Redskins-received no- tice after the first Sunday of 1940 was over, that this would be dan- gerous year, for the younger teams are distinctly gunning for gridiron glory.
 After play on four different fronts was completed, only two oi last seasons key clubs-Washin- ton and Green Bay-had come through unscathed while two oi the annual "super" elevens-Detroit and New York-were held to ties.
 Washington and Green Bay went to their accustomed places at the head of the Eastern and Western divisions respectively today after the Redskins defeated the Brook. lyn Dodgers, 24-17 and the Packers won over the Philadelphia Eagles 27-2O.
 Last years Eastern champions the Giants, were held to 10-1l tie by the Pittsburgh Steeler! while the Lions, who finished onl, three games away from the West ern crown, could do no better thai a scoreless tie with the Chicago Cardinals.
 DOdger Comeback
 The Redskins triumph spoiled Dr. Jock Sutherland's debut as {; pro coach but his Dodgers gav 32,763 fans thrill when trailing ITO at the end of the first half they came back with a hard-hittin: assault that fell one touchdown short of a tie.
 The World Champion Packer put over three touchdowns in tht first period but needed two 45-yart field goals by Clark Hinkle in thu third period to clinch the game Little Davey O'Brien, the Eagles one-man backfield, played the full 60 minutes and gave the 11,65 fans their moneys worth. He threv 40 passes and completed IS for ; total of 225 yards and two touch | downs.
 | Giants Held Even
 Opening defense of their Easter titled before a crowd of 18,601, tn Giants had to put on a desperat second half drive to gain their ti with the Steelers. Taking advan tage of a tumble in Giant territory the Steelers passed for a score an, 1 added a 48-yard field goal in tn first period. A 52-yard pass fror Rookie Kay Eakin to Max Harriso set up the Giants score in tn third period and a 31-yard fiel goal by Len Barnum tied the SCOT in the fourth.
 A heavy rainstorm soaked 15,OO persons as the Cards battled tn Lions to a standstill. The gam produced only one scoring thres and resulted in numerous tumble Only six first downs were mad four by Detroit, and midway in tn first period, semi-darkness descend ed and the hoodlights had to | turned on. Whizzer White, after year in college, returned to play stellar role in the Detroit back field.

LETTER SUPT.
OF EDUCATION

One of the fundamental purposes
of our school program is that Of
teaching citizenship and democracy.
We wish at this time at the begin
ming of a new school session to cal
this to the attention Of the teachers
of the state. There has possibly never
been a time in the history of oul
country when we need to stress citi.
zenship and democracy in u schoo.
program as we should today.
We believe that every child from
the first grade through college shoult
have it impressed upon them con
tinuously that they have definite civic
and citizenship responsibilities. With
the turmoil that exists in many Of the
nations of the world today, the school.
of Mississippi and the nation have :
real challenge in this field.
We hope that the teachers will take
the material found in the textbook:
and all other valuable material anC
build up a program of citizenship il
every school community in the state
We should cooperate with the P. T
A., American Legion, and many 9th
er related educational agencies il
building a well-balanced school pro
gram in every community.

LONE TOUCH OF NATURE"
BY EDGAR HATFIELD

One afternoon last week caught my regular bus for home
and dinner in the usual frame of mind, satisfied that had done
nothing during the day that would warrant the boss in stopping
my pay, and seeing the familiar faces of my fellow passengers
with their usual dull, wooden look-when something happened! A
Young man boarded our bus with a baby carriage! 1t contained
a real, live, wiggling, cooling baby! To judge from appearances, this
was as much a phenomena to the other passengers as to myself.
Of course babes in arms are rare enough, but a bapy buggy Is
almost unique in these days. I can't recall having seen one on
a bus o. a street car since the days of old Dobbin and the shay.
Everyone instantly became alert. Eyes sparkled. Expressions
changed and smiles appeared 1t was necessary for the bus driver
to accept the fare at the front and permit the proud young father
IL enter his charge through the side door, which is of course
against sthe rules, and which caused some delay. The mother was
not along, but Pm satisfied the happy look upon the fathers face
va a guarantee of her being in her proper place, wherever she
was. Also his silly expression plainly advertised the fact that this
was the first chip from the young block.
The bus was crowded, but Her Highness, the baby, had plenty
of room. People were jammed against each other elsewhere, but
baby had at least tive feet on all sides. Passengers carefully shooed
o predatory fly from the vicinity. Two young girls undertook to
entertain her. Passengers alighting, punctilously took every care
to avoid humping against the royal carriage. All of which further
delayed our journey.
1t was easy to see that baby had abruptly diverted everyones
trend of thought in the rear half of the bus, and that all minds
were upon her, ready instantly to take any steps necessary to
assur her safety and comfort. The bus became further behind
schedule, but who cared? If the Excahbur could be delayed forty
minutes that a mere Duke could bid adieu to a friend, why, how
much more fitting that Her Royal Highness of the three cornered
pants should receive the homage due to the greatest of all Gods
creatures, even if we all went hungry or had to walk And l am
sure every person participating, entered their respective homes IN
a more pleasant frame of mind because of tn experience.
God give us more young men, women too, who can board a
bus with a loaded baby buggy and a look of pride and satisfaction!

Examine Our ldoIs

Paul Mallon, travelling with the Presidential party
that dedicated the Great Smoky Mountain park and
made a swing around through IVA territory, drew the
conclusion that the vote getting strength of FDR IN the
south is not anywhere near the 70 to 80 percent shown
by the Gallup Poll.
He formulated his opinion due to the fact that there
wasn't much real enthusiasm and acclaim gwen the
President on this trip except in Knoxville.
We'd like to believe that the general lack of fan.
fare and hullabaloo today about politics generally and
presidential candidates in particular is due to the tact
serious-minded about national affairs than they have
ever been.
The general public today is examining our idols
very carefully. If they have feet of clay more than likely
they will be discovered. In this age of radio and motion
pictures the national leaders are brought in closer con-
tact with the people. They are no longer idols but men
and women just like us. AS such their motives are ques-
toned and judgment passed.
Today the American people are more specifically con-
Every move made by President Roosevelt is followed
closely, every speech examined as to its potentialities.
The same may be said for presidential candidate Willkie.
His utterances are taken to be the policy of the gov
eminent should he be successful in November.
Today when over fourteen billion dollars is being
expended for ornaments, National Guardsmen indicted
into the army for peacetime training for a year, when
shortly thousands and eventually millions Of our men
will be conscripted into the army, we have a great num-
Der of things more important to think about than to
give President Roosevelt or any other politician an ova-
ton.
