who would yield to the pressure OF
strange doctrines. This is true not only
as it concerns the political system under
which We have lived and prospered, it is
also true as it concerns those Christian
ideals that are vitality related to our
habit of life 1t is even limited that the
Christian faith along with Christian in
situations must change with a changing
world. Ancient creeds and ancient
formularies cannot be adapted by this
reasoning to meet the needs of men in
time of crisis. Over against this assump-
ton history makes it clear that the
Christian faith and Christian institutions
have shown their greatest strength and
have made their greatest advances when
opposition was most persistent and vio-
lent. 1t was under adverse conditions
that Christian heroiSm disclosed itself
and an emboldened practice of Christian
principles challenged an apostate age

and robust characters, made so by a
faith in God that will not surrender to
any force, however powerful, such today
are needed to stiffen and prepare us for
any emergency. This is not a time for
fiabby and colorless expressions of loyalty
to great ideals. This is a time that
challenges the best and the finest in our
natures It is not a time to magnify
petty conceits and rivalries. 1t is not a
time to lean upon the broken reeds of

the claims which this momentous hour

In one of the most fascinating books
have read "The Ship of Stars" the
following incident is related One eve
ming at dusk the vicar of an English
church situated on the coast of Corn
wall was seated with his little son on his
knee talking over the events of the day.
Presently the little lad, pointing to the
tower of the church that stood nearby,
said to his father: How long has yon
church tower stood?" Quickly the vicar
responded: son, yon tower has stood
four-square to all the winds that blow
for nigh unto 800 years" There fol-
lowed period of deep silence when at it's
close the vicar breathed out the deep
prayer of his heart, saying: 20 God, make
men as towers"
Stability, fixity of conviction, an I'M
shakable belief in great ideals in the face
of opposing forces. this was the yearning
of the wears soul. In a world as dis
tracted as the one in which we live,
there is great need for men and women

School Hazards

Fire hazards of an emergency ma
ture, involving such miscellaneous
conditions as defective door faSten-
ings, inadequate means of egress, i'm
proper electric wiring, inadequate
fire escapes, lack of fire doors, and
antiquated heating systems, have
been found in 1874 of Washington's
100 school buildings, according to the
annual survey made by the munich
pal architect and the chief engineer
of the Fire Department for the Board
of Education.
Many of these conditions have
been corrected. But others continue
to exist and must remain so indefi-
nitely, for their complete correc-
ton involves expenditures which are
not possible under the curtailed ap-
preparation annually allowed for
such work.
Nearly all of the remedies recon-
mended by the inspectors must be
taken care of under the repair shop
section of the school budget. Some,
such as keeping combination cloak
room passageways clear, removing
floor stops from fire doors, and
changing the classroom practice Of
constructing articles out of inflam-
mable materials, are merely matters
of faculty, q DIM mi Stro tiOp
Few of the conditions cited involve

Military Visitors

Defense authorities are in agree
ment that if the American Republics
are to rest secure in a world torn by
totalitarian aggression, every nation
in this hemisphere must be made
safe against any possible uprising OF
the Trojan Horse pattern fostered by
fifth column elements throughout
the New World, as we'll as against
military invasion.
To achieve a security which will
make it impossible for aggreSsors to
gain foothold in even the weakest
and least prepared of the Americas,
there must be complete accord
among the American nations in all
matters relating to continental soil
darity and hemisphere defense.
The obvious ideal toward which we
must aim is the creation of BROTH
erhood of nations, equal in dignity
and the right to protection, regard
less of size. wealth and power. This
is the ultimate ideal of democracy
freedom for the individual and for
the political groups into which he
must band himself for social pur-
poses, subject only to the unacceptable
limitation that no man or group of
men shall encroach upon the liberties
or rights of others unless this be-
comes necessary for the welfare Of
all.
An important step toward this
ideal of a closely knit brotherhood
of democratic nations is the freest
possible interchange of ideas and eX-
perience. From this standpoint, the
present visit to the United States OF
the military leaders of twenty Latin
American nations is one of real i'm
portance to all the Americas. It is
in line with the increasing tendency
toward a continental pooling of mill
tary strength and experience.
The goodwill flights of American
bombardment airplanes to South
America. the sending of military and
naval missions to our neighboring re-
publics, and the opening of our serv-
ice schools to young officers from the
armies of the Americas all are heart
ening evidences of the building up of
hemisphere military unity and I'M
Outstanding among the professional
men in charge of our defenSeS.
Visits of this character, dedicated
to common defense of the Americas,
are of positive value to us all These
visitors are deserving of a hearty
welcome.

the court, or a master appointed by
the court, will decide how this dis
indignation is to be accomplished,
and the nature of the resultant setup.
Any properties of which the corpora
ton was ordered to divest itself
would be sold at public auction, at a
price figured to be equitable both to
Smoot and the public.
The justification for this drastic
action by the Government, or the
lack of it, can be appraised fully only
as the facts of the case are devel-
oped in court, The company dredgeS
sand and gravel from the Potomac
under permit from the War Depart
ment, which says that the field is
open to any reliable operator, but
that Smoot alone has seen fit to
occupy it. This situation has pre-
vailed since 1881. when Smoot-se-
cretly, the Government alleges-ac-
CURED control of the rival Columbia
Sand g. Gravel Co. In the inter-
vening period, it is charged, the
defendant successfully has stifed
competition.
The question posed for the court
is not easy. but it is one in whose
solution this community has a vital
interest, and on which the fullest
light should be shed. Twice in two
years Smoot strikes have caused a
city-Wide building stoppage by cut
ting off the supply of sand and
gravel and while this may be simply
an unfortunate consequence of what
is essentially proper business ar
rangement, the public obviously is
entitled to any relief that may be
afforded in this situation.

The st. Xavier school held its
annual boys interclass basket
ball tournament November 26
through November 20. Last year
it was held at the end of the
season, but this year it was used
as an opener. Teams represent
ing each of the four upper
grades took part. All of the 9TH
er students of the school
| watched the games and cheered
for the players.
The seventh grade was repre-
Sented by Captain Kenneth Sni-
vely, Johnny Melendrez, Cecil
Mclaughlin, Julius Tippee, Hen
ny Stienmetz, Willie George,
and Herman Rob.
The membership of the eighth
grade team was Captain David
Kern, Fred Altergott, Bobby
Half, Donald Hopperstad, and
John Rice. Billy Schaller, Rich
ard Lackmann, and Sammy
Schaneman from the sixth
grade. served as able assistants
for the eighth grade team.
The ninth grade players were
Captain Manuel Lackmann, Ad-
olph Strobbe, Rudolph Strobbe
Richard Waterhouse, and Dan
lei Walks. Substitutes were Vic
tor NeedenS and Corky Schwend
from the fifty grade.
The four tenth grade boys
Captain Robert George, James
Snively, Donald Greenwalt, and
Stanley Muhlbeier, were assist
ed by Mckinley Iron of the
fourth grade and by Edwin Ep-
pens and Bill Needens of the
| fifth. All boys teams are
coached by Mr.. Louk.
On the first day the scrappy
seventh grade team defeated the
tenth grade and the eighth
grade triumphed over the ninth
in an overtime period. On the
second day the ninth defeated
the seventh, and on the third
day the tenth grade team de-
feated the eighth in a fast and
exciting game.
The fourth and final day of
the tournament found the sew
enth grade playing the eighth
for third and fourth places. The
eighth won by the score of 10
to 6. The game that determined
first and second places was
close and exciting. The lead
changed sides several times
throughout the game and at
the games end the score stood
at 10 to in favor of the tenth.
Thus for another year the tenth
/ grade keeps the championship
banner in it's room,
Sally Melendrez, grade ten.

The girls interclass tourna-
ment was held Thursday and
Friday, November 1929. The
first game was played by the
girls of the fifth and sixth
grades versus the girls of the
seventh and eighth grades.
The fifth and sixth grade

consists of Dora Hopes, captain !;
Clarice Hawks, Lila Mae O'Brien,
Rachel Schaneman, Betty Zier,
Mary Lou Stovall, Margaret
Hert, and Caroline Jackmann.
Both teams played a fine
game, but the greater size and
additional experience of the
seventh and eighth grade girls
enabled them to build up a large
score against their opponents.
A championship game was
then played by the winners of
the first game against a team
made up of ninth and tenth
grade girls. The players on the
ninth and tenth grade team,
which is also coached by Miss

The Eagles Cry
Contributions from the St. Xcvier Public School

Primarily, the schools of Am
erica are built for the education
of the children. That is their
chief function. The actual use
of the school buildings and
equipment, however, involves a
much broader scope. In most
Communities, "a. ti"ularly il. the
smaller rc:.:mlnli:ies, the sch )olS
serve as H,.b]ic centerS or Com
munity halls, where the people
gather for business, pleasure,
and, in many instances, for
worship.
The st. XAVIER school fulfills
these functions. It is very I'M
common for an evening to pass
without a gathering of people
there for some purpose. It is
often difficult to avoid conflicts
and to arrange dates for en-
gagements to the satisfaction of
all concerned. Saturday nights
are engaged weeks in advance.
Church services are held in the
school auditorium each Sunday
afternoon at two o'clock. The
young men of the community
practice basketball in the gym
nasium Tuesday and Thursday
evenings. Monday and Wednes-
day evenings are taken by the
Indian boys from the nearby
parochial school. A group of In
dian girls of the public school
practice basketball with their
coach, Miss Easton, each after
noon at four o'clock.
Recent activities here clearly
reveal how well filled our pro-
gram is. On Saturday night
there was a dance for the bene-
fit of the American Red Cross.
Our janitor, MIR. Swaby, was
hurried the next morning TO get
the school in readiness before
the ladies of the st. Xavier
Home Demonstration club be-
gan arriving to prepare the
Thanksgiving dinner which was
served in the gymnasium to the
families of club members and
to their friends. Church service
es were held at two O'Clock.
Each evening this week local
boxing enthusiasts are meeting
at the school gymnasium to
train and condition themselves
for a boxing card which is to
be held in the near future.
These facts clearly show that
the new school at st. Xavier is
a boon and a blessing, not only
TO the children of the commun-
1ty, but to the adults as well.

On Saturday night, November
80, the st. Xavier school spon-
sored a Red Cross benefit dance,
The dance was well attended.
All services for the dance
were donated. The music was
furnished by Johnny Clock, Ru-
ben Muhlbeier, Alex Schreiner
Bill Schreiner, and Harley Lewis.
The dance was managed by Mr.,
Wills and Mr.. Louk, with Mr..
Swaby taking care of the jani-
Dor work. The lunch was pre-
pared and served under the di-
rection of Miss White, the school
nome economics instructor.
The proceeds of the dance,
INCLUDING the lunch, came to
$3O.12. The school had previous
ly raised 1888 by pupil dona-
lions, making a total of $500
collected by the school for the
Red Cross. OF this amount $500
was used for subscriptions to
the Junior Red Cross magazine.
