TROY LOSES OPENING GAME

Troy lost the first game of the
basketball season on Friday even
ing to the Boomers Ferry Badgers
in hard fought game. The Tro-
jams led the Badgers in the first
quarter 1913. In the second quarter
the Trojans were still going strong
and at the half the score was 1913.
The second half of the game
proved different, for the Trojan
team seemed upset and couldn't
hit the basket The team tried many
long shots but they seemed to have
lost their luck or accuracy that
they had during the first half. The
third quarter, the score was 1913.
The last quarter the Boomers team
came out fighting hard and ran
their score up, while the Trojans
were trying in vain to play the
brand of ball they had played in
the first half. AT the end of the
game the score was 1924 with Bon
ners on top.

4 Long. Long War

There is no desire to paint a too
dark and discouraging picture, yet
it is we'll for the people of America
to begin to realize that the war in
which they are at present engaged
is the most difficult and the most
dangerous one our nation has ever
faced 1t is time to grid up our
spirits and get set for the long pull.
There can be no doubt of the even
tdal outcome but unless progress
moves much more rapidly than it
has, there are still several years Of
fighting ahead of America
The United States News closed
an excellent editorial in late is
sue with these paragraphs. We
quote:
I'VE cannot allow the lives of our
gallant sailors, soldiers and Ma
rines to be taken in vain. We are in
the fight to the end The Cairo
conference has given us task of
unparalleled magnitude to do. We
cannot shirk that task,
Let the talk of rehabilitation
and postwar be soft-pedaled and
let's keep politics out of war prob
lie ms as much as possible. The COM
ing year will bring us an unWel-
come presidential campaign in the
midst of the biggest war in which
we have ever participated. If we
could have had a parliamentary
form of government. we would have
been spared the negative effects of
such a campaign at such an unpro-
pitious time. But the Constitution
provides for that election in 1914
Let us then face the future with
out partisanship. Let US consider
men and their abilities rather than
the petty resentments that arise
from irritations in time of war. Let
us not look to the mistakes OF pre-
war years or to the grievances that
are stimulated by the pocket-book
nerve. Let us keep faith with the
boys who are dying to achieve vic
tory and security for US all Let US
tax to the utmost. let us accept
economic restrictions to the utmost,
let us strive earnestly to overcome
class and group desires and self
lshness.
v For the road ahead is to be
stained with the blood of our val
liant sons. The war against Japan is
to be long, long war.

Many Thanks
But Nothing Else

The sound of the final nay had
hardly died away in the congress
killing the bill that would have
paid small newspapers for govern
ment advertising When the war pro-
duction board. launched another
nationwide campaign for the col
lection of waste paper. And of
course the newspapers were inn
portuned to get back of the drive
and make ii a success. Daily news
papers in the large cities are reap
ing a rich harvest from government
advertising. The small newspapers
are asked to give their time and
space free.
And be it salu 10 the everlasting
glory Of the newspaper fraternity
the newspapers will continue, with
out stint, to strive periodically to
do whatever they can in behalf of
their native country and to help
win the war But doesn't it seem
just wee bit like rubbing salt
into sore wound to beseech the
newspapers to donate freely of
their time and money just after the
congress had said in effect, We
won't you you anything for the fine
service we are getting from YOU
1t is estimated that the neWspa-
pers of the nation have donated
much over hundred million dol
lars in free advertising space fur
thering vital war undertakings.
That service was willingly given.
And it will continue to be given
without stint and in full measure.

A friend who's tried and true
And he will gladly do for me
What no one else would do
Last winter when I MIXED the
COWS.
(This story's oft been told)
Make would sit and wait for me,
Sit shiv'vering in the cold
A bed beside the friendly fire
Did not appeal to Max
When | went out to do my work,
To WELD the saw and ak
His body's white as winters snow,
His heads all brown. He's cute!
And he can talk a streak to you,
Altho he may be mute
With tail and eyes he tells me
just
What he would have me know,
And with the gayest capers says:
please won't you let me go?"
Across the fields on rabbit trails
We wander day by day,
And Makes blue, heartbroken too
When am far away.
He lovesa to play at ball games
too,
And when the game is Ger
He takes the ball, as you or l.

The antics OF my pup,
Who, tho he's almost fourteen
now,
Has never yet grown upl
But I'm afraid that might bore
you.
You know the old, old theme,
That we all see in those we love
A great deal to esteemi
You see, we see in those we love
Whatever they may be-
A thousand things that othe,

Could never, never see.
And so, | guess my little dog,
That true and faithful friend
Earns everything do for him,
And love that knows no end.

ment before they found their
bonanza that they decided TO put
up their log cabin home right on
top Of the mine.
They named the mine The Big
Four"--aftcr their quartet Of
children. Tex and his wife, Fran
ces, occasionally aided by the
kids, do all the mining them
selves.
Ordinarily the McDaniels do
not spend the Winter at the mine
because OF the cold weather. But
this year they've dug in for the
duration TO help meet the war
demands for vitally-noeded lead
and zinc.
The family had already moved
into Kremmling for the Winter
season when a War Production
Board representative called on
Mcdaniel, and outlined the needs
of our war factories. The patri-
otto mine owner and his wife inn
mediately returned 20 their cabin.

Using them, the would-be exer-

10 execute the steps of the diff

It's one thing to exercise in a
routine sort of a way-but an
other 10 know what you're doing.
And that's where the dolls come
in handy.
The pictures on this page were
taken after the figures had been
placed in an exercise sequence.
The large photograph shows how
the feminine gymnast initiates
The dolls action.
Not only are these puppets USE
full for physical workout instruc-
ton, but they are extremely val
liable in teaching dance poses.
This is especially true of group
dancing. The instructor is able
TO place the dolls in different
positions in order TO show the
dancers just what they should do,
where they should stand and
how they should move.
These clever little manikins
also help in the makeup of new
dances and new exercises, for

they make il possible for the
creator TO visualize the effect.
All the doll poses shown on this
page are for the purpose of illus
trating exercises designed for
strengthening the back muscles.
1t is these muscles, according to
Miss Strauss, that control the
entire body.
Build up the back, she says,
and correct posture will follow.
True alignment of the whole
body paves the way for proper
reducing exercise.
The first thing to do is to get
rid of the old and incorrect
muscle habits and this means
strengthening the muscles close
to the backbone.
Most people, instructress
Strauss points out, do not realize
just ho' deep and large the
muscles of the back are. They
flow out, like the branches on a
tree, in a connected way, to all
the other muscles.
When the novice knows pre-.
cisely what she is doing, expert
ence shows that she tackles the
exercises with greater effect.
