APPRAISERS BLAMED FOR JAPS' POWER
NippOnese, Nazis Permit ted to Arm; America Now
 Being Subjected to Test

Jay Allen, foreign correspondent, speaking before an audience of seVs Orai hundred ct the Waterbury Wos mems club last night, warned that America has now been drawn into the flood of war, and will have to depend upon lts own BeaworthitiesS to survive. At the same time, the speaker said, we have become in. volVed in Q world revolution whose vortex is Berlin.
 Tn the opinion of Mir. Allen, the unproVoked Japanese aggression iS 0 Hitler trap. The attack, he said, alluding to Churehill's address yes. terday, may have arisen from dess pefation, but on the other hand may have been the consequence Of deliberate eold.blooded planning, and 6 sense Of assurance on the part of the Japanese of their military might.
 AppOasers who permitted Ger many and Japan to arm with i'm. punily durin Rthe past decade were hold to blame by MT. Allen for the desperate plight in which oil demo- cratic nations find themselves. We failed to perceive that suffering lh places remote from our BhoFes could ultimately reach us, because we were lulled into c false geElse Of security by appeaSers, Mir. Allen said.
 The veteran jouFnaliat, who wal inferred for five months in Nag concentration camps for entering Paris without sanetion of Nazi au. thoritles, told Of his experiences iSl France. He described Gen. Weygaiid aS "a museum piece, with nine- teenth century Viewg on military tactics and strategy. French indus- trialistS, MT.

 The inSidious maehinationS of German propaganda in this country must be watched and acted against without loss of time, he said. We must not Dc deceived by ofiieially- inspired Hes which assure Us of Ger. many's benign intentions, because Hitler has set the wheels of deStfue- ton in motion, and cannot stop even if he wants to.

cate their children, and many
thought that the Dutch were too
lax in their observance OF Sunday.
Before the Pilgrims landed the
men met in the cabin OF the May
flower and wrote the Mayiower
Compact which served as con-
stitution for Plymouth Colony for
10 years. Upon landing they ex-
plored the coast for several weeks
and then founded their colony al
Plymouth, named after the last
town they left in their native
country.
About half of the Pilgrims who
landed survived the first winter.
This was probably due TO the ex-
treme cold weather and the lack
of adequate shelter while they were
building their homes. In the spring,
however, the mortality decreased
greatly and the Indians became
friendly with them. They planted
corn and amassed supply OF
beaver. Gradually more and more
colonists came over and settled and
thus the little colony grew.
I have had the opportunity Of
visiting Plymouth, Mass, which
today is an interesting industrial
town with a population Of approx
mately $4,000.
Among the interesting things to
be seen there is the famous Plym-
outh Rock on which the Pilgrims
are supposed to have landed. This
rock, on which 1920 is inscribed,
has been placed in front of Pilgrim
Hall.
The hall contains early books.
paintings and valuable relics. Among
these are Miles Standish's sword
and the cradle of Peregrine White,
the first white child born in Plyn-
outh. Nearby stands the Pilgrim
Monument, which was dedicated In
1889 This is a beautiful and last
ing memorial to our Pilgrim Fathers.

go swimming, so we did. We soon
felt refreshed and ready for more
excitement, so after dinner we de-
cided to go ashore. About two hours
later. we came back to the boat and
all crawled into our blanket rolls
for a good nights rest.
Toward morning we were awak-
ened by the violent rocking of the
ship. We found that the water had
become very much rougher during
the night and that we would prob
ably not be able to get back to camp
until it grew calmer. We were quite
near the towers of Annapolis at the
time and we had to tack" around
them until about l pm. While the
water was rough, we became accus-
toned to the call hard alec and
learned to keep our heads down
until the beam had swung across
to the other side of the ship.
The bay had grown much calmer
during the morning and we were
soon on our way. At o'clock, we
reached camp and were welcomed
by our fellow campers on the dock.
We were sorry to leave the schooner,
and I can't believe any of us will
ever grow tired of telling about the
good times we had on board.

PRIZE CONTRIBUTION
By Elizabeth Fitzpatrick, IS,
Macfarland Junior High School.


Audrey Richard of 1927 Thirteenth
street NV, student at mcfarland
Junior High School, is rifle cham
pion at the age of Is. Unusual as
this is, it becomes easier to under
stand when we learn that her IA
ther, Marine Gunner Frank M.
Richard, first taught her how to
shoot two years ago. At that time
he was coaching the Marine Corps
team.
The climax OF Audrey's career
came on October 26 when she de-
feated "a men, all real sharpshoot-
ers, for the Virginia State cham
pionship matches at Quantico, Va-
where she was the only female con-
testant.
In the Quantico competition, Au-
drey fired a military rifle for the
first time, handling it as easily as
if she always had used it. 1t was a
model 10 Winchester, which is be-
ing tried out by the United States
Marine Corps.
Audrey has won a number of
medals, including some at Camp
Perry, Ohio, where she and her par
ents 90 every summer for the an
nual matches of the National Rife
Association which last for an entire
month. Six matches are played
every day, and Audrey took part in
several of them.
During the winter months in
Washington, Audrey completes as a
member of the National Capital
rifle team. She keeps in top form
by practicing every evening on a
target she put up on the garage
door at home.
rifle shooting is a grand sport"
Audrey said, land an especially fine
one for girls, I believe. There are
more competitors in shooting than
any other sport, because in the
other sports, most of the people
watch instead of taking part, such
as in football and baseball. Even
the deaf and the crippled can par
ticipate in rifle matches, while they
could not, or would have great diff
Guilty, in other sports
Audrey has other hobbies, too, in
Guiding fishing and swimming, and
Is active in school affairs. She
hopes to become an instructor in
aeronautics This ambition comes
from an interest in aviation aroused
because her father is in the Marine
Corps.
