served fairly we'll to carry him over
the frozen surface of the "old SWIM
ming hole"
AS the years passed, James went
on with as much school work as
possible, then did full-time work
on his uncle's farm. Had it not
been for desire to add to his edu-
cation, he might have spent the rest
of his life as a farmer. In that
case we might never have had the
game Of basket ball.
AS it was, young Naismith wanted
to attend college. Shortly before his
22d birthday he was able to go to
Montreal and start a course in Nc
Gill University. 1t was his plan TO
become a minister of the gospel.
AT the start Of his college career
ne spent almost all his free time In
studying. There seemed no time left
over for sports or games.
One afternoon Naismith passed
the football field where the Nc
Gill team was at practice, and
stopped to join some other students
who were watching. Before long
the center on the team was laid
out with broken nose and the cap
tain called out, will one of you
fellows come in and help us out?'
Since the others did not offer to
go In, Naismith stepped forward
and took the place of the center.
His work was good, and he was
asked to play in the game with
Queens University the next Satur-
day.
During the rest of the time f1s
spent at college, James Naismith
wss a regular player on the team
BY the time he finished his studies
at McGill he had given up tbs
idea of being minister. Instead
he decided to go to YMCA school
at Springfield, Mass, where men
were trained TO teach physical edu-
cation"
Before long Naismith became ar
Instructor at the Springfield school
He taught boxing, swimming and
wrestling and was well liked by the
students.
AT length the director of the
school gave Naismith charge of
class in gymnastics. The instructor,
now 80 years of age, was far from
pleased. The work of teaching men
to move dumbbells and Indian club.
seemed dull to him. The students
showed little liking for the course
Yet it was to lead to the birth OF
one OF the most popular modern
games,

Uncle Rays Corner
BY RAMON COLEMAN.

Seventy years ago there lived In
Northern Ontario boy named
James Naismith. His home was in
village called Bennie's Corners, a
place which contained blacksmith
shop, a store and a small school,
house.
James was fond of sports. and
spent much of his free time play
ing games with other boys of the
village, Having no skates of his
own, he turned two old files into
runners and fastened them on his
shoes, those home made skates

 s265 billions. Divide this amount up between the l33 900 people who have the task of paying it off and you what it means About $500 per per- son. So if you think your bills all paid and you're out of debt, take another look. This is your debt. Along with this you must pay interest on the debt amounting to about $4 billions yearly according to the current rate of spending And if the debt climbs as the war continues will reach figure close to the total national wealth of the United States.
 It should be apparent that the foregoing figures insist that all unnecessary spending be stopped But this is not a popular movement in Government circles
 Civil employment still climbs with gay inn perturbablity that is amazing. The latest report of the Civil Service Commission shows an increase of 23 900 employees in May alone, and civil employment has been increasing the rate of nearly 50 percent

For Religious Studies
(New York Times

It is good news that the Institute Of Religious Studies is to continue it's work graduate Schooi conducted with cooperation of Catholic JeWsh ana Protestant scholars, the Institute enables ministers of all faiths to study under the guidance of eminent theologians regardless of denominations. series ol meetings has been arranged to be held at the Jewish Theological Seminary, at which group relationships will be discussed by outstanding scholars of the com munity Another important series of meetings Will deal with the problems faced by the churches in the changing world of today.
 Possibly the most important contribution made bv the Institute that each of the scholars speaks from the point of view of his own religious belief An analysis of intellectual and cul- tural foundations of world order will bring together thinkers in various fields relating to an enduring peace. Experts in such fields as anthro- biology sociology, psychology philosophy jurisprud- ence religion education and practical administration will participate.
 Only in a democratic country could an Institute colors and beliefs will be encouraged to sit down together break bread and exchange ideas. Although they may differ on intellectual grounds, they are all agreed that if the democratic way of life is to be preserved individuals must respect the honest opinions of their fellow The Institute believes that par ticularly at this time, clear appreciation of the religious background of American democratic ideals
 is fundamental to their preservation It is in this spirit that the school operates.

CLAIMS
 ARE BEING SETTLED

Speeding up of unpaid shipping claims which have been. made by retail merchants in Alaska, has been successful according to word received by Mildred R. Hermann from Guy Green, Jr., Regional En- forcement Attorney of the Ninth Region, OPA, who has been hand ling the problem with the War Shipping Administration in Wash ington, D. C..
 According to word from Green, reports received from the Alaska Steamship Company indicate that out of approximately 1000 claims processed. l8 percent have been paid and 80 percent have been approved and forwarded to Alaskan agents for payment. Only 2 percent of the claims were disallowed and 1000 are still pending. Due to the man power shortage, work on this matter has been slowed up to some extent, the report stated. It is expected that similar reports will be received from other steamship companies in the near future.
 Unpaid claims for loss or damages to goods in process of shipment have represented a very serious problem to retail merchants. it is explairr- ed. Without definite clarification as to responsibility in the matter, the steamship companies have been reluctant to settle claims. Losses have been heavy, due to inexper- fenced help and considerable pilfer- ing and have greatly added to the merchants cost of doing business an item which had to be absorbed by the merchant. since it is no chargeable to direct cost and coult not be passed on to the consumer.
 Merchants are advised to presen their claims promptly, giving all in
 formation necessary to enable tn transportation company to under stand the problem involved Settle
 ment may be delayed, but they ma, feel sure that proper procedure ha
 now been developed and tbat al
 allowable claims will be paid,

WHAT'S TO BE DONE?

In view of the many recent investigations and shouts for reductions in Government spending through reducing Government personnel it will be interesting to see if Congress do anything about it.
 Practically everyone knows by this time that the Government supplies work for about 3,000000 people and more today Tn 1881 it cost the taxpayers about $1 900 900 year pay the salaries and wages of Federal office holders and workers Today that figure is six times as large.
 The public debt has reached figure so large it is beyond the comprehension of most persons Back in 1900 the public debt s100O0000O0 By the end of the first World War this figure had risen to S26 900 00O O00 This amounted to about $250 per capita So from 1919 to 1880, through taxes, the debt was whittled down considerably In 1930 it stood at $l6OO0 100000. Then the public spending started in earnest In l94o the debt had reached the astounding figure of SAP 900. But what small drop in the bucket that is today.
 By the end of 194l it had climbed to S49 billions. In 1922 it had reached SIP billions The President now estimates that the public debt by next June will be

about it. He is Joe Scott, President of Oklahoma's State Board of Ag- riculture.
 Scott was summoned to Washing ton by Marvin Jones. who offered him the job. When Scott left, he was doubtful whether he wanted to stick his head into that moose.
 He talked to members of the Appropriation Committees on the Hill but went away feeling the fu- ture of FSA was too uncertain.
 Meantime, the fortunes of FSA and the small farmers are in sus- pense, at time when the big far mer is waxing fat with wartime in- come.

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 bat do not compel'
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 4

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER
 Variable planetary influences are active today, the good aspects over- coming many that are adverse. II is wise to push matters of import ance in the morning.
 HEART AND HOME: Poise and confidence are the keynotes for wo- men today, for they are under the kindly direction of Venus. Vision land understanding should be keen under this configuration but there may be tendency toward anxiety, Accidents in the household may be more frequent than usual. This is day in which girls should have courage to face feminine weaknesses and vagaries which will be apparent at time when so many evidences of strength and common sense pre- dominate.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Vested in- terests and class privileges which have been decreasing rapidly in re- cent years will receive final blows before the new year, it is foretold. Nevertheless, many large corpora tions will profit immensely and will arouse wide criticism. Advocates of reform will be numerous, but the seers declare that inequalities in war sacrifice and war benefits will be prevalent despite protests. Pros perity will continue and many per sons will make merry while thou sands die to assure their safety and general welfare. Malefic aspects for Washington indicate discontent and unrest among war-weary workers.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Confusion affecting production and distribu- tion should be less distressing than formerly to those who carry heavy responsibilities. Adjustments to- ward a sane and conservative ap- proach to many national problems are indicated by the stars. Rules governing wages, prices and the cost of living will be greatly revised, as- trologers predict Facts and figures will be more clearly presented, giv- ing cause for national gratitude be- fore the new year
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Severe fighting on German soil is indicated for this month. Rioting in the Rhineland is forecast, due to food scarcity and the appalling losses of Nazi troops in fierce battles. Portents of a setback to United Nations forces may also presage the enemys resorting to sven more barbaric methods of war fare. than employed in the past. This month and next. the power of spiritual forces will be convincingly demonstrated by the progress of the Allies.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augary of a year of advance ment. Men and women in the arm ed forces should benefit.
 Those born on this day will be lovers. of adventure, seekers of change and recipients of good for tune. Caution in love affairs is counseled by the seers.

The Signal Corps has discovered way to make carrier pigeons fly faster, in delivering messages of war.
 The male bird is always eager to return to his mate. And if he knows that his mate is waiting for him at the home coop, he will fly fast. But to make him fly faster, officials have found use for the eternal triangle.
 Before taking the bird from home. he is shown the disturbing spec tacle of his mate in close proximity to a rival male. Then the pigeon is carried away for his errand. His return home is found to be 25 per cent faster, borne on the wings of jealousy
