SPORTSMEN'S CLUB
BUFFET SUPPER

The SportSmen'S Club of
Greater Boston, Inc. had a re-
vival of Mems Night by giving
a Buffet Supper and Reunion
to its members andg uests of
their annual outing Thursday
evening, April 9, in Jackson
Hall, 1895 fremont ST., Boston.
President Wendell L. Leach
welcomed the gathering and
introduced DR.. Columbus w.
Harrison as ToaStmaSter; a
rousing cheer greeted the doc
tor as his ability for that po-
sition is SO well known; at his
request all stood in silence for
one minute in memory of the
departed members.
Clay pipes, corn cobs and
other varieties were filled while
the witty introductions and
interesting talks were being
made by the various speakers;
many anecdotes and stories,
along with a more serious vein
seldom heard at such gather
ingS were listened to with
much ecstasy. The lawyers re-
minded all of the potential
benefits in the final outcome
of the present strife, that with
our men and boys in uniform,
some on the battle front, there
can be no doubt or question as
what should be our attitude in
this crisis. The doctors
stressed physical preparedness.
Treaurer LomaX declared
himself as heartily in accord
with the previous speakers and
took the opportunity to exhibit
the recent Defense Bond as
purchased by the club.
Approval of the remarks
made by the speakers was
shown by the chanting of the
clubs Good Old Soul" num-

Valuable prizes for the lar

as follows: 1st Club prize to

THE KHAN RIDES
BY RUTH TAYLOR
For Charles SteEzIe

We are waging two wars to-
day. One is the war of men
and machines which is being
fought all over the world. To
this war we send our best. To
the winning of this war we have
dedicated ourselves as a nation
and as individuals.
But there is another war at
the same time. It's battlefield
is here and now. Here is no
war of men and machines-but
a war of poison gas, of treach-
cry, of Sniping from behind-a
stealthy guerilla warfare that
descendS from the shadows and
fees before the light, leaving
havoc and desolation in it's
wake. 1t is a gigantic Khan at
tack upon the minds of our
people.
This is the war in which we
all are soldiers. This is the war
we must all fight. Just as our
boys are in training to learn
how to fight the enemy. so we
must learn how to fight this in
Sidious attack upon us. We
must learn to recognize the
enemy propaganda for what it
is-a deliberate attempt to de-
Stroy from within-to divide
and conquer.
The attack is coming in vari-
Gus wayS-but the first and
foremost is an attempt to di-
vide our people, to sap faith,
to destroy courage. The enemy
tries many different methods
but WHATEVER CREATES
HATE OR DIVISION AMONG
The CLASS, RACIAL AND RE-
LIGIOUS G R o up S THAT
MAKE UP THE UNITE D
STATES is ENEMY PROPA-
GANDA-AND IT IS ANOTHER
KHAN LIE!
1t will come cloaked in a dis
guise, of course-the purveyors
OF hatred delight in the mas
querade, be it black shirts,
brown shirts or flowing robes
Of white. But it will be an ap-
peal to hatred of others, a gem
eralization about groups, an
attempt to stir up resentments.
to emphasize the flaws in our
democracy, in order to conceal
the fact that THESE SAME
FLAWS ARE A BOTTOALESS
