St. Francis Xavier Team Not
 Yet ParOchial Champions

Followers of St, Francis school nine in the Parochial League are keeping their fingers crossed until after Fridays games in the Catho- lie circuit. The reason Is that the Hill team has not yet officially been declared the winners of the cham pionship as was unotncially an. nounced earlier in the week,
 AS the situation now stands, there Is still the possibility of Sac- red Heart and St. Mary's tying St., Francis and necessitating Q pl yoff. Bobby Raye's Sacred Heart team stands the best chance of tying the Franciscans while Q protest that Is still hanging fire over the SS. Peter and Paul-St. Mary's game at Ham, ilton Park Memorial Day morning Is still keepin the Cole street school in the fight.
 Regarding the protest, Bill Der. win of the park department, direc- tor of the league, has this to say this morning; "The management of st. Mary's has filed a protest of the SS. Peter and Paul game in the official manner, and as a mat ter of courtesy, the complaint will be given Q hearing If Coach Harry Melvin still demands one after Fri days games"
 The standing of the three top teams At the moment Is as follows,

Lou Cehr;g's Fans And Friends Meet At Little Church
BY WILLIAM B. DICKINSON Limited Press Staff CoPreanondent)


 New York, June 4 -- (UP) - The newspapers said: "The body of Lou Gehrig, baseball's Iron Horse, will lie in state at Christ Church, River dale, from 8 to 10 p. rn."
 You rode the subway to 242nd Street, and took bus from there. The last rays of the sun were falling on the vine-clad little Protestant Episcopal church just of the busy Henry Hudson Parkway.
 You moved along fiagstone walk between lines of policemen to the steps of the church.
 A red-haired boy in @ dirty sweat shirt, baseball cap in his hands, was just ahead cf you.
 Behind you there was a blind man, touching the arm of young man for guidance. The sun was reflected by his white cane.
 A policeman said in a low voice: Single file, please"
 You moved into the center aisle and down it toward the altar. banked with flowers, befo:e which lay the body of Lou Gehrig.
 The line slowed, and you looked ahead and saw that woman had paused before the casket. She was weeping.
 Soon you were looking down at the calm face of one of baseball's immortals.
 He lay in a plain dark casket, a blanket of roses covering its lower half.
 In a moment you were past, nov- ing on to the side door of the church. Behind you, you could hear the blind man whisper:
 Goodbye, Lou" Solemn Occasion The sun was gone behind the hills, taxicabs, buses and private cars damned Riverside Avenue. Hundreds stood on the curbstones across the street. The whitney voice of tired child was sharp in your ears. You cut across the intersection behind the church. and paused be- fore the tree-shaded two-story white house, less than block away, where Lou 0ehrig fought out his losing fight against the disease which lad ended, two years ago. his almost in- credible string of 2.130 consecutive

Some random notes

Write your advertising TO give your
company, and the things you sell,
a personality.
Write to make people think some
thing special and different about you.
With good advertising, planned ad-
vertising, with good copy, you can
create and maintain what no COM
petitor can take from you.
1t is what shoppers think that con-
trolls your sales
Then why not write to control their
thinking.
You'll find your profitable sales IN
peoples minds AND hearts
rarely in their pocketbooks.
If your sales are tagging, today
......., what Of tomorrow
You can write to get MORE than
your moneys worth from your adj
vertising.
Don't let your customers. shoppers,
prospects, forget the pleasant ad-
va,ta6es and values that they can
get from you.
Don't give them reason to hirt with
hyour competitors.
Whether your advertisements arc
large or small, write them SO that
they arc terribly in earnest. =
Write to tell people what they want
to know about the things you sell.
Write a headline that STOPS them
Show pictures and name the prices
and make your signature important.
Don't stop theret
Write copy! Get as much Snowman
ship into your writing as into your
advertising illustrations. Write so
that it races and sings. Write SO
that it kicks and shoulders and yells.
Give it burr in its voice or honey
on its lips, as needed. If needed,
write copy with the crust and author
ity to put right forehngers on fat
stomachs, and get attention, and
keep it, while you tell, unforgettably,
the things such buyers want to know.
Or, write it to whisper to her. How
ever you write it, make it tug at
sleeves, and hold attention, until
you've told your story.
1t is what they THINK, Of you. Of
the things you sell, that governs
where and what they buy.
Advertising is HALF of modern
business; the ADVERTISEMENT
is the most important thing in ad-
vertising; and COPY is the most
important thing inthe advertisement.
What you write is so important,
WORK at it HARD.
