TRELLA DICK

"How many of you took western
trips this summer?" Miss Waring
asked.
1t was the first day of school, and
the fourth grade pupils were telling
vacation experiences.
Two hands went up at her question.
Cali right, Bruce, tell us some of
the interesting things you saw"
"Why, mountains, and the ocean,
and some swell bridges-the highway
was swell, too. Daddy made better
than fifty, most of the time"
Bruce seemed to have exhausted his
information, so Miss Waring turned
to Peter.
"What did you see that was inter-
esting, Peter?"
Buffalo Bills ranch where he used
to keep his show in winter, was one
thing. The big barn has "Scouts Rest
painted on it, just the same as when
he was alive. We took picture of
it. l can bring it if you want me to-"
"That would be interesting, Peter
What else did you see?"
"The Black Hills. The rocks were
queer, and Daddy told me how they
were formed"
Bruce was sitting up very straight
now, staring at Peter, as the latter
gave an interesting account of Fort
Bridger, Temple Square in Salt Lake
City and the great Bonneville Dam in
the Columbia River.
"Why didn't we see any of those
things?" he wondered. "We went the
very same route they did, l know, be-
cause Peter and l looked it up on the
map"
Daddy" he asked his father that
night, "did you know we went right
through Buffalo Bills town when we
took our trip"

"Why didn't you show me? Peter
saw it,"
"We'd have had to make little de-
tour. was trying to get to Cheyenne
by nightfall."
"Why didn't we stop at Fort Brid-
ger? It's right on the highway"
''Well, that was such grand stretch
Of highway, l was doing smooth
fifty-fve along there, and hated to
slow down."
AS the term went on, Peter brought
agates to school which he had gather
ed in Wyoming field and some from
an Oregon beach. He wrote an ac-
count of an organ recital he had heard
in the great Mormon tabernacle in
Salt Lake City and got an E on it.
Each time Peter gave an interest
ing report of things seen on his trip,
Bruce would ask his father, "Why
didn't we see that?'
The substance of the answer was al
highway, or wanting to get to a GER
tain place at certain time. But
Bruce's father looked more and more
thoughtful, each time he made these
replies.
Bruce was almost ready to cry the
day he came home and told about the
sea-lions' caves. "They must have
been wonderful,' he sighed, "Peter
said you could go down a lot of steps
right on the face OF high cliff by the
ocean, where there were several great
big caves. There they saw hundreds
of sealions-O, | wish | had seen
them!"
$50 do l, Son." his father said en-
phatically, looking very uncomfort-
able.
And Bruce's next remark, "Miss
Waring says Peter sure had an educa-
tional trip" didn't make him feel any
better
A few nights later, he brought home
several pamphlets. "We might go to
Detroit for new car, next SUMNER

Every night, as we turn the dials of
the radio, and every morning as we
pick up the paper, we learn of the
latest frightfulness which threatens
the remaining victims of Hitler's
"blitz-krieg" screaming bombs which
produce insanity for adults and ma
chine-gun fire which seems always to
attack the helpless non-combatants.
Meanwhile, thousands of little child
rem have been sent to what are pre-
sumed to be places of safety" only
to find that no matter where they may
flee, they are pursued by their relent-
less enemy, to whom, apparently,
neither age nor sex makes the slight
est difference in his hunt for victims
Of his hate
Within few months, many thous-
ands Of little children from the Con-
tinent, who have been sent to Eng
land as place Of last resort, as well
as other hundreds of thousands who
are native to the soil, may become VIC
tins Of the attacks which Hitler
promises to nake-and all that will re-
main will be the dead bodies of child
ren who could not save themselves, or
living bodies Of little children with
dead minds, who escaped the mercy
Of death.
Boatloads of little children are
coming to America as rapidly as they
can be conveyed to safety. Generous
souled men and women in this country
are opening their homes to these
children. Thousands more are offered
shelter. There is no lack Of welcome
for them. But under existing laws
only few may come in each month.
There is scarcely a member of Or
ganized Labor in this country, no
matter how straitened his circum-
stances, who would not open his home
/ to one Of these children and share with
| it all that he has. Organized Labor
has fought for the children Of Amer
lea as no other institution has, and it
is not now refusing to help the child
, rem Of other lands.
But there are those in this country,
who for reasons Of their own, do not
want to let the children in. They re-
mind Us that the immigration laws of
this country were made to protect
American Labor. They were-but
what has Labor to fear from little
children? They have no nationality
prejudice, nor can they take anyone's
job. Those who are opposed to their
coming whisper in the ears Of politi-
clans with weather eye cooked for
votes, that Labor won't like it if red
tape is cut, and the quotas are filled
! several months in advance.
| Let Labor protest against this
charge. Let it denounce those who
use Labor as clock for cruelty. Let
each member of Organized Labor look
at his own children and imagine them
in similar situation. And then as
a father let him bring the weight of
/ his organization to bear on those in
power, asking in the name of Organ
| lied Labor to "let the children in"
/ Thousands Of fathers and mothers in
distant lands will be everlastingly
/ grateful for what Americans may do
for their children, and He Who once
said that 'inasmuch as ye have done
it unto one Of the least Of these, ye
have done it unto Me-" will look down
/ in approval.

SUPPORT
There have been times in the past
when the Red Cross could hardly be
said to deserve the support of organ
lied labor. This is not one of those
times. 1t is doing a great humani-
tartan work in war-torn Europe, and
those of US who have been spared the
horrors of war; those of US who are
still able to enjoy the security of our
homes and the liberties of a great
democracy should do everything with
in our power to aid in this work.

Promoter Is Not Known.
Just who will promote the sport
isn't known. Ray Avis has a lease
to the park in his vest pocket, but
is talking more about softball than
midget auto racing. He may not
be the promoter, but there certainly
will be racing, Allen asserts.
Baltimore residents howled about
the noise of the little cars last year
when they were introduced at the
stadium, but this objection is ex-
pected to blow over without fur
ther difficulty.
In addition to the South Attain
tic circuit there will be one in
New England embracing Bridgeport,
Danbury. Springfield, Providence
and Boston: another in California
and a third in Colorado.

Clemson last night, for the Tigers
missed their lanky adl-America half
back, who was with the football forces
in Dallas. But the difference between
the teams, from a Maryland view
point, was chunky Charley Wei
dinger's presence in the Terp lineup.

one was called back and an offside
penalty imposed on Tempe. The
second was wide and Hernandez
caught the ball in the end zone and
started to run. 1t seemed to me
that he stepped over the line before
he was tackled by Carrig of the
Cardinals. But the officials ruled
otherwise, the play became an auto
matte touchback and the ball went
out to the Bulldog 20-yard stripe
That was Catholics last scoring
chance, for Joe Hernandez and Pitts
alternated in running the ball to
the 35, when the game ended.
C. U. Seems to Lack Drive.
Late in the fourth period Johnny
Fiorellino, who went in for Quar-
terback Sachon for the Cardinals,
tried three passes in a row. All went
incomplete. Sachon's punts far out
ranged those of Pitts. One Of them
landed in the coffin corner down on
Tempe's 2-yard stripe, but Pitts
quickly punted out of danger after
one line play failed.

Bergman. 'They played very we'll

it seemed that Catholic University

Midget auto racing all washed
up in Washington" echoed Ted
Allen, glaring incredulously at us
over a small mountain of incoming
mail and important-looking docu-
ments. II should say not. Why
it's headed for bigger and better
year all over the country, and If
you doubt me I've got the proof.
And with that the well-groomed,
dynamic secretary of the A. A. A..
contest board rang a three-alarm
bell that brought his secretary from
the anteroom at a gallop.
1--WE want to look at the record"
he said. ''The midget auto record"
She disappeared in the direction
of a large filing case and Allen
returned his attention to us.
We've had a big shakeup in
Eastern tracks that should do US
lot of good. A few operators quit
our organization and banded to-
gether in one of their own and
we've just completed reorganization
work in their territory that makes
our circuits stronger and more at
tractive. Washington is included
in the new plan-sure, we're going
to have racing here next summer,
and it gets a better break on drivers
and cars this time"
Will Have Grand Finale.
The secretary returned with
enough facts to start a statistical
bureau, and Allen Immediately
plunged into an explanation of the
entire new setup. It boils down to
racing every night. eliminated by
sort Of a world series at the end
of the season, with every track in
the circuit exhibiting the top-hight
cars and pilots during the blue
ribbon classic.
New plans call for a dual metro
politan league with tracks located
in Freeport, Long Island; Castle
Hill, Hershey, Philadelphia, Staten
Island, Newark and Allentown. BY
dual Allen means each track will
stage two programs weekly, with
cars and drivers divided into two
groups and appearing on alternate
nights. For the sake of clarity 1t
calls them the Red and Blue cir
cults.
The idea is to keep competition
on q high plane and give the fans
new faces to look at. Ever so often
the fields will be shufned, new
drivers dropped into one circuit and
withdrawn from another to keep
interest from sagging. An exchange
of cars and drivers between circuits
also is planned that the fans up
and down the entire seaboard will
get a glimpse Of the best of the
jitterbug pilots.
Washington, according to the
new plans, will be in q South At
lantic loop along with Philadelphia,
Baltimore, Richmond and possibly
Wilmington. It will not have to
scramble around for cars and
drivers every week, as 1t did last

Drop in Massachusetts.
Largest drop was in Massachu-

the fact that one less track oper-

open, thereby slicing 80 days from
the previous program. There was
more betting done at Michigan

cause it no longer receives 25-cent

considerably off, and Delaware, with
a two-day longer season, dropped
slightly.

the States profit of $577,659 ranked
only seventh although it was above
