WI. Ekes Out Sweet
Basket Ball Victory
Over 6. W., 25-21
Third-Period Rally Coins
Generals Long-Sousht
Win Over Arch Foe

WaShington-Lee High scored It's
most gratifying basket ball victory
of the season last night in defeating
its traditional rival, George WASH
ington High, 1921, before a capacity
crowd at the WI. gym.
A return engagement is scheduled
later this month at Alexandria, but
for the time being the Generals
have the lead in the race for North
ern Virginia honors with this first
cage victory over the Presidents in
several years.
o A late rally in the final period al
most saved the game for George
Washington, but the big lead ac-
quired by the Generals in the third
period decided the issue. Trying
gamely, the Presidents in the final
moments rang up six straight baskets
before the General could stop their
rush. Marty Foltz counted twice
and more score in quick succession
came from Jim Higgins, Jack Crump
and Johnny Shelton. With a min
ute and half to go, Washington
Lee finally stopped the drive by
freezing the ball.
At the beginning it appeared to
be walkaway for the Generals as
Rube McNabb, who won scoring
honors with 13 points, tailed three
quick baskets and foul toss before
George Washington made its first
mark. Also outstanding was the de-
fensiye work and supporting floor
play of John Grinnell, Wis tail
center, and Buck Hurst. The Gen.
erals led all the way, with margins
of To in the first quarter, 9-6 at the
half and 21-9 at the end of its big
third period.
G. w. missed IL free chances and
converted only 5.
Some measure of consolation Was
earned when George Washington
lightweights won the preliminary
game, It's.

Gonzaga's high flying basket ball
quints eaSed into first place in the
Catholic School Basket Ball League
last night with a 4l-to-30 victory
over st. Johns at Tech gym in the
first of two games this season be-
tween the traditional rivals. In a
contest before the varsity quints
took the floor Gonzaga jayvees
licked the Johnny juniors, 80 to 81.
In a setting more suited to big
time basket ball contest than one
between high schools the Eagles led
at all stages, running up an early
7-to-2 lead, topping the Johnnies,
9 to at the first quarter, II to 13 at
the half, and increasing their lead
to 81 to 18 at the end of the third
quarter.
Brightens Gonzaga Record.
The Gonzaga victory gave it a
season total of 10 wins in Is games.
In their victory streak the Eagles
have licked Eastern and Central,
two of the favored public high school
outfits. The game further stretched
a woeful season for st. Johns which
now has dropped II of its 16 games.
Sparked by the unerring tossing
OF forward Frannie Counselman,
who scored II points, and the able
backing up OF Buddy Rowzee with
10 points, the Eagles sprang into an
early LEAD. CounSelman was all
over the court, tossing in back
handed shots and running pot shots
with equal abandon. Counselman
has been the outstanding star in all
the Eagle games, and bids fair to
be the top scorer among the local
high school lads this season.

War on Disease

Two of the most dreaded of human
diseases are the virus infections of
the central nervous system-ence-
phalitis and poliomyelitis.
For a generation they have baff1ed
medicine. How did they pass from
one human being to another? They
appeared suddenly in a community,
took their toll, and disappeared.
There was not necessarily any con-
sact between successive victims.
Within the past month has come
new light. Public Health Service
workers have proved that the ence-
phalitis experienced in the North
west this summer was, almost beyond
question, spread by mosquitoes. Now
two Yale scientists disclose to the
American Public Health Association
that the dreaded polio-better known
because of the wide publicity given
It by the efforts of President Roose-
velt to curb the malady-can be
spread by the common housefy.
There may be other vectors of both
these maladies. Discovery of the
method of spread does not neces-
sarily mean that the maladies can
be prevented. 1t is not synonymous
with cure" But it places in the
hands of public health officials
knowledge which will be invaluable

Wushinqton's Parks

Those who have participated In
the development of Washington as a
model city welcome the stand which
Secretary Ickes has taken against
abuse of park facilities in the name
of eXpediency.
While national defense demands
must be met in full at whatever sac
rifice may be necessary, care should
be taken to avoid needless mis-
takes now that will plague the city in
the future. There have been some
cases in which the use of park areas
for utilitarian purposes has been
necessary and justified An example
is the Rock Creek-Potomac Parkway,
which has been developed as a major
highway, although originally planned
as park drive. In this case the ad-
Joining right of way had little value
for purely park purposes and served
primarily to link the two major rec
reational areas of the western section
of the city. A prime example of the
type of errors to shun was the pro-
posal since abandoned, to place the
new War Department Building in
front of Arlington Cemetery.
Park areas can serve only one pur-
pose at time. They cannot re-
tain their recreational and esthetic
values if they are to serve as traffic
arteries or building sites. AS conges-
ton increases in residential commu-
mites, heavier demands are placed
upon parks and playing fields. And
never before has the need for such
development been so important in
Washington.
For the parks of the Capital serve
a multiple purpose, which is absent
in every other city. THE parks here
not only provide recreation and
relaxation for residents of the COM
munity, but constitute the setting
for the National Capital and it's pa
triotic shrines and edifces., They
are an integral part of the National
Capital.

Picket Problem

For three years Mrs. Carroll Harris
had been picketing the jewelry store
of a Mr.. Carter in Kansas City. The
arrangement was ideal. The lady
seemed sure of steady job for life
as a career picket and Mr.. Carter
was equally pleased, for he obtained
hundreds of new customers who dis
liked picketing and proved it by
patronizing his store. In apprecia-
ton OF her services in doubling his
business, Mr.. Carter ran errands for
Mrs. Harris, invited her to use his
telephone and so on.
Then for two days she failed to
appear. Fearful of losing customers
who enjoyed picket et-crashing, he
called up the union and complained.
Your sign says I am unfair to YOU"
he said, "but really it is you who are
unfair to me, calling off your picket
without warning"
The union apologized. There was a
mistake, it said. Mrs. Harris had
never been fired; she must be A. w.
o. L. Please excuse the rudeness;
she would be back on the job tomor-
row. 1t is pleasant, in these days of
labor strife, to be able to report that
the union was as good as it's word.
Mrs. Harris is again on duty and Mr..
Carter is getting richer.

there were many coming and going"
Some kind of enforced quiet and rest
is urgently needed for all of us. We
cannot attain any true measure OF eff1-
cient living without it. The most stable
ard sober among us must have periods
when we really can think and think seri-
ously about life and Its purpose and the
part we are playing in it. We never
seem so unimportant as when We find
that our part of the world can get on
without US. Possibly we never seem so
truly important as when We are made
to realize that we really have a place
in the scheme of things and have the
strong impulse to put gil that We have
in it.
God does have place and part for
us to perform. Happy is he who knows
what that part is. Ons thing is certain,
the part will not be performed unless
we have the capacity and the will to
give to it the best that We have.
Doubtless there is reason and logic in
interrupted action. Doubtless there is
purpose and plan NJ periods when action
suspended we are sUi.ed to think From
the confinement of a sick room and
physical disability the world looks a bit
different. Much of its confusion and
disorder assumes difficult aspect Our
Judgment of human frailities and weak
nesses becomes juster and kinder The
sense of self-dependence gives place TO
God-dependence. When there are few
to talk with one turns naturally 70 COM
munion with God. Sleep tina: "knitS up
the raveled sleeve of care" becomes a new
blessing, and enforced quiet affords op-
portunity for the spirits release. An
anonymous poet thus expresses the
thought OF needed quiet and reflection:
IF I had the time TO find a place
And sit me down full face to face
With my better self. that stands no
show
In my daily life that rushes So
It might be then I would see my soul
Was stumbling still toward the shining
goal
I might be nerved by the thought
sublime.

Yes, it is a good thing to be compelled
to be quiet and TO face soberly the
realities of life
Evening star., 1941-10-19

Sometime ago a friend of mine found
himself suddenly taken from active
duties by reason Of serious malady and
compelled for several weeks to lie quiet
and idle 1t was for him unique expert
ence and one that for the while caused
him great discomfort and dissatisfaction.
Presently, he found himself for the first
time in many years becoming intro
spective and deeply reflective. Confined
to the limitations of room he had long
occupied he began to observe with
minute care its every object; its dra-
peries, wall paper, the pictures that
adorned it. even the smallest items that
made up its appointments. Everything
in it seemed to assume new meaning.
1t was as if for the first time he had
observed the plan and design of the
room he had occupied for long years.
From this intimate study he proceeded
to a closer observation of himself, his
thoughts, his ways and habits. The
study proved singularly interesting and
profitable, and when the time came for
his emergence from enforced inacton he
found himself facing life with a new
zest and finer enthusiasm. 1t is true that
the average of US lives life under normal
conditions quite unobServant of environ
ing conditions and without much OF
reflection as to the part We play in the
everyday scheme of things. We do our
part according TO our aptitudes and
ability, perform largely the same func-

We have largely determined for our
selves and take with reasonable patience

they are indispensable. Life these days

our capacity to evaluate men and events.

human motives and values. He even

Raising Our Sights

The report that plans looking
toward an annual defense outlay of
$4,000, 100000 while possibly be-
longing in the trial balloon" cate
CORY, is nevertheless a development
of considerable interest
This program, assuming the cor
rectnesS of the report that it is
under consideration, rests on the as
sumption that it would be cheaper in
the long run, and certainly less
painful, to 60 AL out" for defense
in the literal sense now and over
whelm Hitler with an avalanche of
American war material. The alter
native, it Is said, is to continue
preparations at our present level,
accepting the probability that the
war will drag out for many years,
with all that that would entail in
the way of priorities, commodity
scarcities and general economic
dislocation.
The expenditure on ornaments Of
the huge sum indicated means that
approximately half of our national
income and national resources would
have to be diverted to the demands
of war. But this involves more than
the mere spending of unprecedented
sums of money for we would also
need to have available hitherto un-
dreamed of stores of raw materials
and the trained man power to con-
vert them into finished weapons.
A particularly striking example Of
the colossal industrial effort which
would be involved is to be found in
the matter of four -engine bombers,
Many experts believe the war will be
decided by these planes, which are
capable of flying from England to
any point in Germany with tons of
bombs and returning to their home
bases. At the present time our
major effort in aircraft building is
directed toward the production of
these huge bombers. Floor space and
materials originally intended for
other types of planes are being di-
verted to the bomber program, but
even if our most hopeful present
expectations are realized, it will be
two years before we are capable OF
turning out 500 of these ships
month. Yet the new program re-
putedly under consideration is said
to contemplate a fleet of from $4,000
to 10000 of these planes by the end
of 1943 or early 1914.
In a recent radio address, Stacy
May. chief of the o. P. M. Bureau of
Research and Statistics, indicated his
belief that current production Sched-
ules, which will require about 25 per
cent of our resources by the end OF
1912. should be doubled But he also
pointed out that this would require
drastic" diversions of raw materials
to armaments Taking the manu-
facture of automobiles for private use
as an example, he said that, to match
Britains proportionate diversion of
raw materials to defense, we would
have to reduce out output of pleasure
cars to 1000 per week. This con-
trasts with an American production
of 100000 cars week in good times,
or, in other words, calls for a cut of
SO per cent.
These considerations merely serve
to emphasize some of the problems
that would be encountered in dou-
bling our defense program schedules.
They do not mean that the greater
effort should not be made, nor that
1t may not have to be made. But,
at the same time, the problems do
exist, and care should be exercised
not to talk in terms of performances
which raise hopes that may be shat
tered against hard realities.
