Giants Win 1876
Tilt From Creston

In the first home football game of
the season, the Coulee City high school
team trounced Creston by 10 to s
score
The locals first touchdown came in
the opening period When Leslie Blain
intercepted a Crcston pass on his own
35 yard line and made spectacular
45-ya'd gallop to pay dirt.
The second tally was mace by
Thoren, who received a short pass from
Tucker on the two-yard line and dug
his way to scoring territory.
The final Coulec City touchdown
came on the first play of the third
quarter. The locals took the ball on
their own 20-yard line, following an
out of bounds kickoff by C.eston.
and Jack Lewis took the ball on "a
beautifully executed double reverse,
and ran the entire 60 yards to a score.
The Giants took practically every
Creston man out of the way on this
play, with beautiful display of block
ing. Creston came back with touch
down shortly afterward, and the con-
test ended with Coulec City on the
long end of a 1876 count.
The Giants will invade Mason City
tomorrow nd rht for q game under the
floodlights.

SPIRITUAL EMPHASIS WEEK

In time such as this, we do well
to look to the foundations stones OH
which our life rests. The world is fill
ed with wars and rumors of war and
yet people realize that these wars
cannot bring us lasting peace.
The need of today is for a plan big
enough to include all nations, all class
es, all creeds. AS Christian people we
believe that that way is to be found
in Jesus Christ of Nazareth who came
saying 81 am the Way, the Truth and
the Life There are those who Ques-
ton this, but there are Others such
as Roger Babson, WHO says that the
great need In the world today is n
religious awakening. 1t ism that
Christianity has been tried and found
wanting: but 1t is that it iaas been
found difficult and not tried.
Our own government was founded
by men who believed firmly in Gee,
lnSlr lduIleTS were mel WHO Hdu CoH1e
to America that they might worship
God according to the dictates of their
own conscience. The American doct-
rine that all men are created equal
springs from their belief that One is
our Ruler, even God. We print on our
money GIN God We Trust" but how
can we trust in God whom we don It
know7 Believing all this, the Coulee
/ City Presbyterian Church is planning
Spiritual Emphasis Week, first week
in November. The Reverend Mark L.
Kohler, pastor of the Presbyterian
Church in Port Townsend, will be
speaker. Mr.. Koehler was clasamate

BRITISH:
Omen Second Front

The long-awaited, bitterly de-
manded second front" in North AT
RIGA has finally been opened by the
British with a surprise attack Of sur
prising power and terrific impact
upon the combined German-Italian
forces in Libya.
The severity Of the military blow
drew for a time all interest from
the magnificent stand the Russians
were making, and presented Hitler's
generals with the difficult problem
of either conceding the Royal Air
force complete mastery Of the Afri-
can skies or the withdrawal Of many
hundreds of planes from Germany
or from the Russian front.
Rapidly the British drive went SO,
so, 80 miles into Libya, and glance
at the maps had been sufficient to
show that the typical Nazi blitz tao
tic was being employed.
Instead of frontal attack against

g This trapped what the British

RUSSIA:
SaUes Machines

A Walter Kerr dispatch from Kui-
byshev had been enlightening on the
subject of what Russia's losses had
been in the area occupied by Ger
man troops.
S.. A. Lovsky,s Soviet spokesman,
had declared that Russian factory
equipment had been almost entire
ly evacuated from the occupied
area.
Kerr, checking on this statement,
wrote that he had made 1890
mile railroad trip from Archangel
through the Soviet Union. and that
machinery was being moved, and in
quantities that would astonish most
Americans.
His trip took 16 days because his
passenger train was sidetracked
often to permit trains carrying ma
chinery and workers eastward were
given preference.
Day after day he saw an endless
procession Of freight trains of from
80 to 40 cars, drawn by one to two
locomotives, carrying machinery,
machine tools and skilled worlmen.
He said he never saw wreck nor
evidence of q previous wreck. He
also saw munitions being landed
from America and Britain at the
wharves Of Archangel and moving
rapidly on railroads to the interior
of Russia. He said he did not dream

talks quite in their midst, the head
of the American state department
had called conference of the ABCD
nations (American, British, Chinese
and Dutch) representatives from
which the Chinese ambassador had
emerged with a broad smile.
Coincidentally the British had re-
newed their blunt warnings to Japan
not to plunge another area of the
world into a ''blood-bath, but to re-
fleet that the personnel Of the Brit
ish navy had expanded 300 per cent,
and that the navy now was in posi-
ton to divert considerable of its
forces to the Pacific.
At the same time it was evident
that Tokyo itself was preparing its
people for the worst. That Japa-
nese leaders were badly frightened
over the spot they were in was evil
dent, yet few of them could see a
way out without war.
