With all the officers present
and all the managers on hand the
meeting got under way, with one
big problem to solve, concerning
the ineligible basketball play
ers that were sent in on the bas-
ketball list for this season. The
reason for the ineligibilety is,
that their head tax was not sent
in before the convention.
The clubs who were enfected
by this were: Canton with two
men; Cleveland East with four
men; Farrell with seven men. 2
of these boys played in the Cleve-
land East and Monaco game. and
S boys in the Farrell and New
Castle game.
This left great problem for
the officers and the managers.
for if they were to enforce the
Constitution it would leave Far
rell with 5 men to finish the sea-
son. There was quite a discus
sion concerning both cases.
The men in doubt belonged to
the T. s. ]. A. last year. or were
eligible to the T. S. ]. A. by the
new marriage clause.
After long discussion a vote
was taken, to decide whether it
could continue the season with
the ineligible list by all clubs, or
whether we should stick to the
Basketball Bylaws. concerning
the men of whom they were in
doubt of. A final vote was taken,
being 5 votes for keeping the list
as it is now, against and | vote
was blank.
The question arose. why was
not the eligible list sent to all
the basketball managers? The
Secretary answered, "Do to the
fact that their eligible lists were
not sent to the secretary on time" "
The officers would like to give
their view point on this meeting.
1t was decided among the ofhc-
ers to let the managers decide
the problems before the
meeting. With this in mind, the
managers and officers came to ar
agreement, with the understand
ing that this was for the best of
the T. S. J. A. and that there
should not be any trouble or any
hard feelings after the meeting.
So to stop all confusion and at
tacks on the officers and. man

of the T. S. J. A. AS we have
stated before most of the eligible
ball players belonged to the club
before the convention, but their

local secretary, and the rest were

Today's Navy is a service OF
steel and iron - ships and guns,
instruments and men. Thousands
of technician's, trained machi-
nist's are required to keep the
highly mechanical Navy in
trim and ready for ac-
ton.
The machinist section is one
of the three parts of Group III
Schools (others: metalworkers
and woodworkers). An average
of 90 men a month graduate from
the machine shops lo week
course, which is divided into four
terms of four weeks each.
Most of the work is practical.
However, one day a week is
spent tudying such academic
subjects as blue print reading.
ratio and proportion, and general
shop mathematics.
New students find qualified
instructors, most of them Chief
Machinists' Mates, ready to help
them. And it takes a lot of help
in mastering the machines which
were all installed by students
last May when the school was
placed in Commission.
The men do not graduate from
the school as qualified machinists
but they do finish with an un-
usually sound basic training.
When they report to the fleet
they are especially qualified as
striyers in the rating of machi-
mist.
Men who are qualified for Sc
lective Service owe it to them
selves to investigate the opport
unities in the L. S. Navy and the
y. S. Naval Reserve. Skilled mer'
in trades corresponding to naval
ratings may ship as petty officers
and receive pay corresponding to
their rating. Unskilled men ma,
ship as apprentice seamen and i
qualified may attend a training
school of their own choosing. En-
listments in the Naval Reserve
are for duration OF emergency
only.
Many vacancies still exist in
all ratings in Class V-6 of the
Naval Reserve for skilled men.
Pay ranges from $50 to 500 a
month. with of course, lodging,
food, medical and dental atten-

West came back in the second

Monaco were the spark-plugs Of
their respective teams.
The West boys must have

problems affecting citizens in their defense period
Defense savings programs also will be inaugurated
OF course in a democracy, Mr.. Studebaker cannot
dictate what the schools will teach but from all the
nation reports indicate that school heads recognize their

In 1920 young in Omaha Nebraska felt the dis

down. They reminded him that George Washington had
made the first ice in the United States that

there absolutely nothing be learned about
But the young wasn't convinced. He decided to at
least try to work out something in old business
The young mans Russell Slower.
He experimental, after hours and on Sundays but he
found nothing novel twists But too fast! He
did find something Something very simple to cover
bar of ice cream with coating of milk chocolate in
such way that the ice would not melt before

showed it to his friends TOO simple they said People

But he worked out the idea anyway and offered to
the public. He called it Eskimo Pie" You've heard of
it. You've eaten it You've paid money to this very

Was it a success? I'll give you just one example.
Ecuador, in South America was the point of going

flated; people discontented. One of the principal
products of export cocoa; but there call for

LET FREEDOM RING

Freedom of the press" like the words liberty and
democracy have been heard often by generations of
Americans that they have their fire We in
America don't know anything but freedom of the press
liberty and democracy We've had them for generations
So when the newspapers of the United States who
now celebrating National Newspaper week, emblazon
these hghsoundng words their pages many read
apt to yawn them and pass on to the fun
MES.
It's not that Americans do appreciate their free
dom They appreciate them each day they read
about the wipng of freedom in all other parts of the
world But at the time it's hard for anyone to be-
emotionally aroused something he has never
been without.
For comparison imagine the excitement there would
be in Germany if the newspapers with headlines
announcing Freedom of the press" 1t would cause
cheering in the streets expressions of
the people would turn to joy and there would be nation
wide celebrations.
To all people freedom is precious thing But it is
the people who suddenly given freedom after of
bondage who feel the full force of its meaning
If freedom the press was suddenly extinguished
democracy and all of the other freedoms stands for
would Immediately disappear We would be left in the
dark as to what government doing, what was
happening in foreign countries and what fate in
for We would be guided in thinking by rumors

simply to take freedoms for granted. The way

ment he will not be candidate
next year for the Democratic nom

OF the three names most mention

about Messrs. Saxon, Moeur and
