Methodist church in Oakland
Mrs Lawrence Riley claims that
she is the owner Of an educated cat,
or at least one with real sense For
some time Mrs Riley had been an
noyed by the squirrels in the upper
part of her home. A few days ago
tabby came bringing a young SPUR
rel and carefully laid it at her feet.
A few minutes later another was
brought down. They had been care
fully handled by tabby and were I'M
injured. A cage has now been placed
in the yard and the squirrels seem to
be happy in their new home guarded
by their captor tabby.
Congratulations to Miss Mary Lois

get a tennis court at the bowling alley
in condition to use. For several days
they have Weeded, cut, swept and
cleaned the court. What's the matter
with one or two of the boy scouts
giving the girls a hand. They would
appreciate it, but since this has been
written several of the boy scouts have
said that the girls wouldn't let them
help. Said they had started it and
would finish the job-even to using

boulders with our naked hands. But
there were other boulders fifty yards
out. We got some dynamite and
worked all one afternoon pounding
holes in them and blowing them up.
With our money we hired natives
driving carabao to pull pieces away,
at the rate of one peso for the ma
tive and another for the carabao.
1--WE were about ready now for
the test" said Lieutenant Kelly.
Another army tug showed up. We
hitched line onto it, we bridled the
wheelhouse of the first tug with
line, and as the tide came in we
took soundings. The "a boat needed
five foot of water to f1oat-that
meant we'd had to dig a two-foot
hole under her-had we done it?
High tide was nine o'clock at
night. At 8:45 the two tugs started
steady pull; she didn't bulge. The
water churned as we took sound
ings. As nine approached, we sig
nailed the tugs to give everything
they had. At 9:03 the "a gave a
sudden lurch-she was free and
would fight once morel But first
something had to be done about her
back end-rudders, struts, and pro-
pellers were a tumble of bent steel.
Before he left for Del Monte the
skipper had told US he'd heard of
little machine shop up the coast at
Anaken which might possibly have
tools to straighten out steel if by
some miracle we got her free. So
we begged tug from an army
colonel to tow US up there. We
were gone ten days, and I missed
one of the high spots of the whole
campaign while we were gone"

sisted. Just one of those things
where they thank you if you do it,
but give you hell if you fail. The
army called me in and said that
President Quezon was over on Ne
gros Island, and if he could be
brought over here, they hoped to
get him to Australia by plane. The
"Trip 10 NegroS was rlSky-Seven Jap
destroyers were loose in the vicinity.
Probably to cut off Quezon's escape.
So they weren't going to order it.
They weren't even asking it. They
were just explaining to me. But of
course I knew they hoped for it.
so we left at seven o'clock
was In the Il boat and Akers was
commanding the 35. Of Apo Island,
we sighted one Jap destroyer, but
luckily she didn't see us and we
could dodge around the island in
time. It was one o'clock when we
entered Dumaguete-it was pitch
dark; both the town and the harbor
were BACKED out. We had no chart

Sunday, we were again up at
dawn. We had persuaded the army
to lend us sergeant and work
ing party of native troops, and we
started digging and pounding away
at the coral the propellers and rud-
ders had chewed into.
''Bulkeley came around at 1880.
Frankly, Kelly he said, you'll
have hell of a time to get her off.
I'm afraid We'll have to blow her
up if the enemy comes. She's GER
tainly done her part, but this may
be the end. I've got to go to Del
Monta. However, keep working. It's
up to you
''I called the crew into the for
ward compartment and told them
the skipper had left it up to us. I
talked about what the old boat had
done to date with them in it-sunk
two ships and two landing boats.
So now, were we going to let this be
her end-sit by and watch the surf
pound her to pieces? Or were we
going to get her off?
You're damn right we're going
to get her Off they said, and some
one suggested maybe we could hire
work gangs of natives to help US,
whereupon the whole crowd started
pulling money out of their pockets
and piling it on the table. They'd
had no pay since the start of the
war, but since they'd been down
here in Mindanao, they'd had shore
leave and chance to play poker
with the army. The government
could cut the cost of the war by
just paying the army and then giv-
ing the sailors a chance to play
poker with them.

The Older Ddys

Plain or Glamour Boy Ben Jones
who trains Whirlaway, Ocean Wave,
Nellie L. and other members of the
Calumet stable, outlined almost the
same experience in his old Missouri
and Oklahoma days.
eve used to ride or drive our rae
ing horses 10 or Is miles to the
track" Ben said.
'I'H admit I never walked any Is
miles to track and then another Is
miles back home, but this John Par
fridge is a rugged hOmbre. He and
his horse would walk 40 miles If
John thought he had a chance to
win.
But long time ago, I'd have my
racing horses in front of a wagon
heading Is or 18 miles away, just
to carry the saddles and other need
ed supplies. Maybe the jockeys.
Maybe me.
''It was just something in the
blood. There were no handicaps that
could have stopped us. We'd have
ridden a burro over the Rockies, If
we thought there was a chance to
win a S100 purse and $40 bet.
''AIl this helps to explain" Ben
Jones went on, ''the crowds that
are coming to different racetracks
every day against the expected and
necessary handicaps. It goes long
way back, and the rougher going
belongs to the Middle and the Far
West, to the cowboy sections, where
they like horses, where they like to
ride and gamble. It all goes back to
frontier stuff. These modern rae
ing conditions are on the soft side.
Walking seven furlongs? In golf
that's only three holes. Well soon
have the spectators in better shape
than the horses. They would be in
still better shape if they had to walk
10 or Is miles"
"What about 36 miles, there and
back?" John Partridge asked. Plain
Ben Jones turned trifle pale and
shook his head. 81 was never quite
that tough" he said.

Lately in racing, the mutuel-mind-

one to two miles in order to buck

is the harder of the breed.
As Col. Edward Bradley said to
me a year or two ago-"I did all

I have no such imagination.
But the modern racing crowd is

of the best of our racing trainers,

"Oh, they walked 18 miles to the

PRESENT MARIAN ANDERSON
MURAL TO GOVERNMENT

Formal presentation to the
Federal Government of a muir
al painting representing Mar
ian Anderson's first concert in
Washington when she sang on
the steps of the Lincoln Me-
mortal on Easter Sunday, 1859,
will be made on Jan. 6. At a
special ceremony in the de-
partment Of the Interior audi
torium Miss Anderson will
sing several selections, accord
ing to the announcement of
Secy Harold l.. Ickes, Promin-
ent Federal officials, diplo-
mats, civic leaders and out
standing white and colored
men and women will attend.
The program not yet COM
pleted will be conducted in
recognition Of the great cul-
tural contributions made by
Miss Anderson.
The mural was arranged fer
by the Marian Anderson Mural
Committee under the chair
of Edward Bruce. It
depicts the scene at the Lin
coin Memorial at Easter, 1899,
when Miss Anderson sang an
outdoor concert to a crowd of
$4,000 persons gathered before
the Lincoln Memorial. Use of
the Memorial was granted by
Secretary Ickes at that time
following refusal of the use of
Constitution Hall by the OAR
for a concert by the singer.
Funds to finance painting
were raised by thousands of
contributions from school chill
dren and others throughout
the nation interested in the
strengthening of racial rela-
tons. Mitchell Jameson was
chosen to paint the mural af-
er national competition. The
mural will be accepted for the
government by Secretary
.ckes.

but the yardstick to be used IN
the new Federal subsidy set-up
is not yet officially determined.
Small business has been hard
hit the past year and compan-
les doing a yearly business of
from $4,000 to $4,000 have
been the hardest hit. Many
small business houses, such as
clothing, grocery and the like,
have gone out of business the
past several months.
Indications that Kennedy Is
TO be the man to head the con-
templated set-up were shown
in a newspaper interview pub
lished in a Sunday edition this
week when Congressman John
w. Mccormack of B Q o n
strongly urged that a place be
found for a man of Kennedys
ability in the war cabinet.
