Favored Son Is Spilled,
Skating Fans Protest
Mcdonald Boxed
AS BoZich Wins
at Saginaw
BY GEORGE Il. VAN

SAGINAW, Jan. 135-Saginaws
civic pride voiced itself in loud
protestations on the ice at Hoyt
Park yesterday during the annual
Diamond Derby speed skating
races.
Most of the spectators believed
that Joe Mcdonald of Saginaw
was being "ganged" by Detroit
skaters in the races in the senior
mems class.
Everybody in Saginaw knows
Joe. He's the son of DIR. Francis
Mcdonald. dentist and former
mayor. Everybody knows that
Joe, a student at Bay City Col
lege, goes STEADY" with pretty
Bonnie Doyle of Saginaw. a coed
this year at the same school. Bon
ME is one of the best skaters in
the state.
Most everybody in Saginaw
knows that Joe was the class
of the intermediate skaters two
years ago.
BOXING is OKAY
Saginaw skating fans believe
that the lanky Mcdonald lad was
victimized by the Detroit boys last
year, his first in the senior ranks.
They believe that the Detroit boys
were out to- box" him in every
race.
There is nothing wrong with
boxing" another skater. It's
good skating practice. But Sag
NAV fans were noisily demon
strative when young Joe tripped
and fell on the ice at the finish
of the 440-yard race, second on
the program in the Senior Mems
Class Sunday.
In his first start, the 220, he
never got going as he slipped and
sPfawfed on the ice. In the 440
many thought that Jim Thomson
deliberately had tripped Joe as
the two skaters hit the line be-
hind Vincent Bozich who won the
race.
Mcdonald was awarded second,
thus averting a possible riot.
SAYS IT'S ACCIDENT
Thomson, u, Detroit veteran
of 10 years experience, said the
spill was an accident. Thomson,
who has coached many Detroit
skaters in an amateur capacity,
is known for his fairness.
The races here were scheduled
at the eleventh hour after Flint
had postponed its Central Michi-
gan championships Sunday be-
cause of soft ice. The Saginaw
races were originally listed for
December % but mild weather in
terferred.
Bozich, Detroit's outstanding
skater, winner of the state title
last year, was easily the class
of his field. After losing the 200.

scores. the flying redhead whirled
around the course to win the next
three starts and top honors in
the Senior Mems Class.

When AL Ellis. Chevrolets classy
steps into the ring Fri
day night at Olympia seeking The
Detroit Times Diamond Belt open
crown he'll find teammate Frank
Cicala as his opponent.
Which means that Chevrolet will
have completed its domination in
that class. for Ellis gained the
final by decisioning another team
mate. Dick Betchal. in the semi
final. He scored a knockdown as
the second round ended and then
carried Betchal in the final stanza
to win easily
But there'll be no carrying of
Cicala in what promises to be one
of the best bouts of the evening.
For Cicala won the nod from Jim
Tanning of Brewster in a semi
final clash that had the crowd in
an uproar from start to finish.
MAKES COURAGE COUNT
Cicala doesn't have the polish
of his taller teammate. and he
doesn't have the reach. But he
gave away both those advantages
to Tanning and made up for 1t

little 112-pounder rushed. out to
score another knockdown almost
before the echo of the bell had
died out. But Tanning was far
from a beaten fighter. and the tide
or the battle changed Just as
drastically as it had between the
first and second round.
1t was Tanning. now. and the
Brewster boxer scored a couple OF
knockdowns himself to take a
momentary advantage. The little
fellows are supposed TO be boxers,
but for slam-bang action this fight
was second TO none during the
evening. .........#
COMES BACK AGAIN
Then the game little Cicala
came back a second time. His good
condition stood him in good stead
as Tanning tired. and he drove the
Brewster boy against the ropes as
the bout ended with a furry OF
fists that gave him the narrow
edge he needed.
That's the kind OF fight that's
promised not only IN this bout. but
also in every one of the other
battles that will make up the card

listening much to the others, just
enjoying the fact that Gran and
Maxine and she were together
again. "The linens at boarding
school were soapily clean, and
you know you would get up and
60 to bed and eat by bell. Here
they all smell of lavender and
heliotrope; and you know the cof-
fee will be hot and served in
dainty cups. and that either the
sun will be shining or that fires
will be burning in the early
morning"
Each room at Rosewood had its
own fireplace, and in the winter
fire was always lighted in the
bedroom before it's occupant was
up. At night, except in summer,
Peggy had sleepily watched the
freight dancing on the walls of
her large room ever since she
could remember.
After supper, as they were leav-
ing the dining room, Nancy held
Peggy back a little after Mrs
Horton and Maxine had left the
room.
"What are we doing tonight"
she asked. II am always so curl
Gus when I'm on a blind date"
"But we aren't doing anything"
Peggy told her in confusion.
"You mean we haven't any
dates?" Nancy asked, drawing
back in shocked surprise. Cant
we call up somebody to come over
and take us some place or dance
here or do something? Why l
never spend an evening alone"
Peggy was close to tears. Every
thing was wrong. She did not
mind spending evenings at home
although she did want to 60 out
some, but it had not daWned on
her that she should have some
thing planned for every minute
of Nancy's visit. How could she?
/ "You see it's on account of my
engagement. He is frightfullJ
jealous. Perhaps with Maxine
here we may be able to fix ur
something. I'm sorry"
Nancy pouted in silence the
rest of the evening. At quarter tt
ten Mrs. Horton suggested that i
was time for bed, since both
guests must be tired. Maxine
caught Peggy's eye and smiled. A
smile of remembrance. This wa:
the hour when Mrs. Horton al.
ways suggested it was time fol
bed. But the light always burned

in her own room long after the
other lights were out. Both girls
had often wondered why Gran
always insisted on going up to
bed so early then remained awake
so late. But no one ever ques-
toned Grams decisions.
Nancy and Peggy talked as they
walked back and forth between
their rooms while they undressed.
At least Peggy talked. She kept
up a rapid fire, asking of this girl
from the boarding school and tel
ling what she knew of another.
She remembered Nancy's dispo-
sition of old. She must fix up
something for them to do.

times thought I might 60 into pic
lures. You remember, Peggy, at
school I was always in all the dra-
mates? Of course, I don't know
just how to get in, but you could
probably help me there" she said
to Maxine.
"Well, I'm afraid not" Maxine
answered slowly. "You see there
are so many pretty girls who
want to get in, and they have
such bitter disappointment. just
happened to fit a part they need
ed someone for, and some studio
executive saw me when we were
going through studio, and asked
me to come back for screen test.
1t was just break, but of course
that doesn't happen often"
"Have you no other friends in
California, Maxine, except these
people of the stage with whom
you work." her grandmother
asked.
ooh, yes, of course. But, Gran
dear, you must realize that many
of the people connected with the
studios are delightful. The direc-
tors and people like that. l wish
you knew some of them"
Mrs. Horton shook her head.
''No, they do not seem to have
hurt you, but l am afraid they
do not appeal to me. l have no
desire to meet anyone connected
with pictures"
Peggy was silent for the most
part. Content to listen, and eager
| ly awaiting an opportunity to
have a talk with her sister.
In the triangle between the
serving wing which made an ell
on the opposite side of the house
corresponding to the office, and
the terrace, Gran had her herb
garden. In the late afternoon the
clean spicy odors of sweet mar
joram, tansy, thyme, lavender
heliotrope and others that Peggy
could never remember, mingled,
and she inhaled the fragrance con-
tentedly.
Funny about the way things
SMELL" she thought to herself, not

Nancy glanced at MaXine's
hands as the station agent took
her check promising to send her
trunk up later. Her nails, Nancy
saw, were beautifully buffed, but
there was no rich liquid polish on
them. She remembered thankful
ly that she was still wearing her
gloves and that she had a bottle
of nail polish remover in her bag.
Then she glanced at Peggy's
hands.
Peggy" she cried. ''Y our
ring"
In the excitement Peggy had
forgotten the ring. For a moment
she stared uncomprehendingly at
Nancy, then down at her hand, at
which the other girl was looking
so intently. Maxine, too, was star
ing in surprise at the ring. She
picked up her sisters hand that
was hanging foolishly at her side.
Peggy" she cried. "You en-
gagged? I had no idea. Why hadn't
you written me?"
Over and over to herself Peggy
was saying, why, oh why did I
ever do anything so silly? Maxine
will be utterly disguised with me
when explain" She knew SIZE
would explain everything at the
earliest opportunity. She could
not let Maxine believe something
that was not true. Aloud she said:
Its quite recent. No one knows.
You know how Gran is. Don't
mention it to her. I'd better take
it off now before I forget it. Gran
doesn't know anything about it,
you see."
She wanted to get the ring out
of sight to forget about the whole
thing. Opening her purse she
dropped the ring inside, then
closed the bag firmly.
Maxine was watching her anx-
iously. SIS he nice?" she asked
seriously. Someone we will all
1ike?"
"Oh, yes" Peggy assured her.
F'Tll tell you all about it later.
Come on, let's hurry. Gran will
be so excited about your coming"
She had not noticed Nancy's un-
usual silence.
Maxine waved to old friends as
they drove through Marshville,
who, stopping to stare a moment
in surprise, waved back in excite
ment.
Tell me about Gran" she de-
manded, settling herself beside
Peggy.
''She is still the sweetest thing
on earth and I don't believe you
will notice any difference in her
at all. She continues to run the
house-and me-"
Both girls laughed. ''Does she
still get her express packages ev-
cry week." Maxine asked.
Every Monday. Rain or shine"
and you have never found out
what is in them?"
Peggy shook her head. Il never
expect to. I have even given up
wondering about them. That pack
age Vust comes every Monday
and William takes it to Grams
room and that's that"
Bless her heart!" Maxine cried.
IF she wants secret-when was
it she started getting those ex-
press packages? About the time
of her SEVENTEEN birthday, wasn't
it? Well, if she wants a secret
from the time she was seventy
until she is hundred, guess she
can have it without our prying
into it.

continued as they turned in at the

MRS. A. N. KISHLER IN
"PEOPLE YOU KNOW

The article which follows, writ
ten by Gloria Williams, is taken
from the New Lexington edition of
The Lancaster Eagle-Gazette, will
interest many from this vicinity:
Mrs. A. N. Kishler came to New
Lexington IL years ago as the bride
of Dr. A. N. Kishler. At that time
hardly anyone in New Lexington
knew her. Today she is one of the
most widely known and most popu-
lar persons in New Lexington.
Mrs. Kishler was born in Colum-
bus, Ohio. After a few years the
family moved to McConnelsville
Her father was for many years the
editor of the McConnelsville Her
aid, and she worked as reporter
and practically grew up in a news
paper office
Mrs. Kishler, formerly Josephine
Birch, led very busy and a very
happy school life. When a senior
in high school she won $500 by get
ting subscriptions for newspaper
This money was the largest amount
she ever earned at one time, and
was used to help defray her expenses
at Muskingum college
At the time of the World war the
schools of Ohio were short of teach
ers, so they let down on teaching re-
quirements. Mrs. Kishler, then Is,
had just graduated from high
school. She began teaching after
taking a l2-week course at summer
school
Her first teaching position was at
country school. Some of her pu-
pills were older and larger than she

We out among you seven men of

Ghost and wisdom, whom we may
appoint over this business" Here
was the first church official board :;
its members were not chosen be-
cause of wealth or social position
but because (a) of their good rec
ord, (b) Of their Christian consecra-
tion and their good judgment. An
official board whose members do not
come up to this standard may send
the church on the rocks.
V. 4. fBut we will give ourselves
continually to prayer, and to the
ministry of the word" Much pray
er is imperative for effective spirit
ual leadership. But religious leaders
dare not stop with prayer, for an eff
fective prayer life expresses itself in
all forms by which the Gospel of
Christ can be presented.

In the preceding verse the names of

work by the laying on of hands has
always been a beautiful custom elo-

solemnity Of Christian service.

multiplied in Jerusalem; and great
company of priests were obedient to

true Christian service.
