Smyrna times., 1942-04-09

The next notable day will be
Good Friday-April 18th.
Some Smyrna correspondents of
distant papers have an astonishing
aptitude for inaccuracies.
Carey Frazier, a four year old
son of James H. Frazier, residing
near Collins Beach, nearly cut his
foot off on Friday while playing
with an axe.
The Sunday School of Centennial
Church will have an exhibition at
Centennial Hall Thursday evening
of next week. A full programme
has been prepared.
The original Blind Tom, the cele-
brated pianist will be at the Opera
House on Friday night. Those who
heard him eight or ten years ago
will want to hear him again.
The month of March will be re-
membered as the month that gave
the deepest snow of the winter,
some of the coolest weather and
generally wet and disagreeable.
There will be an entertainment
in the Opera House in the near fu-
ture for the benefit of the school
piano fund. 1t will be under the
efficient management of Mr.. Gill
bert Taylor.
The continental painting of the
National Bank of Smyrna, which
was commenced in the fall, but sus-
pended on account of the weather,
is being completed with the finish
ing touches.
There has been no time since
last summer when so many teams
have been on the streets going this
way and that on pleasure bent or
to church as was the case last Sun
day morning. 1t seemed as if they
had been imprisoned and had just
for the first time gotten free.
Frederick Lane, whom detectives
McVey and Witsl designated as
the probable man who shot Mrs.
Newcomb, was lodged in Jail after
hearing before Esquire Cooper.
Lane has born a good character in
the neighborhood, and the general
feeling of the community is that he
is not the guilty man.
One of our citizens who attended
Sunday "The Temple" in Philadel-
phia, Russell Conwells Church that
seats from 1000 to 5000 people, and
is crowded at every service, says
that he can see more laughing,
talking and misbehavior at any
evening service in one of our
churches, than he saw in the whole
of that vast assembly.
The sudden bound from winter to
summer with the advent of April
has been simply wonderful. The
temperature began to warm up
with the first day and by the third
had reached the summer heat, 76
degrees, and has ranged between
that and 80 degrees every day
since. All kinds of inanimate
things have been warmed into life,
fires and wollens have been oppres-
sive, and bursting buds and singing
birds proclaim summer.
There was much ado last week
by a certain class of people over
the death of Walt Whitman, whom
they choose to call ''The Good Gray
Poet" The daily papers, or certain
of them had columns in reference
to his life and writings, and 5000
or 1000 people attended his funeral
in Camden, N. j., to hear the ora
ton of Col. Ingersoll and others
who relished his realism" as ex-
pressed in his writings. These peo-
pie expressed admiration for what
they called his genius, while apol-
ogising for much that he said, but
the Cecil Whig, looks at the man
and what he wrote from another
standpoint.

Sorensen S Ship
I'd TO Apache
BY GEORGE r. VAN

TOLEDO, June 29--Light was
Streaking up into the sky as
Apache slid along lazily. much too
slowly, her crew thought. toward
the finish line in the Mills Trophy
Race.
A full June moon still hung in
the western sky like big orange.
II had been the most pleasant
Mills Race in the memory of the
oldest skipper The kind of night
your best girl should have been
along.
But Apache'S crew was in a
solemn mood as the ship worked
her way towards the blinking red
and white blinkers Of the Toledo
Light marking the finish line a
half mile away
They knew they were second in
their class, at least, and although
Charles Sorensen's 60-foot White
Cloud had TO allow them an hour
and four minutes time allowance
every one aboard loot Gmeiner's
47-foot Apache figured the big
ship had finished in plenty Of time
to win.
Then out Of the haze of dawn
came Russ Pouliot's eight-meter
Plntail. racing class entry. She had
already finished and was sailing
back 10 greet some of the leaders.
Her crew was jubilant. Pouliot,
in his best frog voice screamed.
I'VE beat White Cloud boat-for-
boat" His light canvas man, Ted
Coggin. made funny noises White
Cloud does not race against Pintail
as she is in a different class. but
1t was still an honor TO beat her
and that's why Pitfalls crew was
so jubilant.
Apache came 10 life. What time
did White Cloud cross the line
Pintail's crew shouted: 500.
Then Apache'S crew knew the
race and the Mills Trophy were
hers. Her skipper Wilfred foot"
Gmeiner. who was aboard when
she won a year ago when owned
by Tommy Fisher, was pretty
tired lad.
His injured knee had been put
into a cast last week but he had
not left the deck all night. In con-

GOOD GAME REWARDED

But KocSiS' marvellous game
couldn't be denied. and with "a
little help here and there from his
partner, they stormed through to
the championship.
1t was a 15-foot putt by Chuck
for a birdie three on the second
extra hole which decided the final.
And brides by Chuck on three out
of four holes beginning with the
eleventh were chiefly responsible
for the 80 victory he and Doctor
Coleman gained in the morning
semifinal over what was rated the
strongest team in the tournament.
Earl Christensen. the Miami
detective, and Arnold Minkley
In the other seminal. Griffin
and Connolly put on a rally be-
ginning with the ninth. which
Griffin won with a birdie four, to
