BatherS

BY shutting out the Hazel
Park aggregation l3 to o, Satur-
day, Mount Clemens Battling
Bathers finished the season
among the higher rated elevens
Of the state.
The Coach Roy Quinn boys
played perhaps their best game
of the season, and showed the
spectators the brand Of ball that
has carried them through for a
good year. They also showed
that they had good players
among their juniors and soph-
ignores, who may carry the
scarlet and gray through as
equally a good, if not Better
season net year. The Bathers
this season have lost only one
game, to Ferndale last week, 7
to 6, and have tied only one,
with Port Huron, IA to IA. They
have scored l43 points TO their
opponents 40.
STARTED EVEN
Play in the first quarter was
fairly evenly matched, and it
was not until the second period
that the Bathers were able to
strike pay dirt. In this quarter
the Bathers started a drive on
their own 35-yard line that end
ed with a Mount Clemens touch
down from the Hazel Park
three-yard line; back John Tor
rey doing the scoring.
The Mount Clemens drive
was highlighted by a pass from
back Bob Manning to end
Clarence Schroeder which was
good for % yards. Torrey kick
ed the extra point, and the
visitors lead to 0. The Hazel
Park eleven was saved from an
other touchdown by their rivals,
when the first half was called
with the Bathers on their OPP
ponents' 11-yard stripe.
In the third quarter, both
teams again played close ball,
and neither eleven was able to
make a point. In the last quar-
ter, however, the scarlet and
gray started drive on their 20
yard marker and on IL plays
carried the ball down to the
Hazel Park siX-yard line from
where Torrey again went over
for the second Mount Clemens
touchdown.
The drive was featured by a
27-yard run by back Jimmy
Charbencau on reverse. Tor
rcy failed in the conversion for
the extra point, and the Bath
ers lead l3 to 0. In the last quar-
ter, Charbeneau got off kick
from his own 30-yard line,
which was grounded on the
Hazel Park fiveyard line, to
get Mount Clemens out of
trouble, and put their opponents
in a hazardous spot themselves.
PROSPECTS GOOD
In In the last four minutes,
Coach Quinn used the backfleld
that he will probably field next
year, Nichols and Charbeneau
at the half back spots, Vickers
at quarter, and Dick Fox, who
saw his first action Of the sea-
son, at fullbaCk. Manning was
injured during the second quar-
ter, and taken out of the game,
but was put back in the second
half. Coach Quinn stated that
eight or nine lcttermen are eX-
peCted to return next season.
End Alvin SahroW was also
kept out of play the first half
with an injured knee. The M.

NAPLES Three months ago
when the Fifth Army fought its
way into the most important city
in southern Italy, the prize they
saw was a ghost. Naples had no
water, no power, no light, no
telephones, no transport, little
food, no garbage collection, no
police, no schools, no courts.
The Fascist mayor had fled.
The port seemed heap of rub
bic. A time-bomb wrecked the
post office; shops were closed;
criminals had been freed; the
dead were unburied; the living
-two-thirds of Naples 1000
900 population had stayed in the
c.ty-were hungry, dirty, many
of them living in quarry caves
at night, footing by day.
Only Mount Vesuvius was
indianapolis smoldering bea-
con to guide. German night
bombers. to the completion of
the destruction.
Two months later, Naples had
water. There was light in most
of the city. There was phone
service for essential Army uses.
There was transportation -
even a few taxis for civilians.

ROBINS TAME" ELEPHANT

After years OF confinement,
khartoum, an elephant OF the
Bronx zoo, became a rogue and
could not be approached by hu-
man beings. But he was very
fond of a family of robins with

to touch the nest with his trunk.

Now, there is food garbage is
being collected; the police force
is at work; courts are open;
schools will open soon.
HARBOR is BUSY
The port, as the Germans
know only too well, is doing a
lot of business. Postal service
is being resumed. Shops are do
ing a land office business. The
dead are buried; footing is
stopped; trolleys are running.
Such is the Allied Military
Government answer to its
critics. Naples still is in bad
shape. 1t will be years after the
war before this city is really
back on her feet. But Naples is
alive today despite the supreme
efforts of Germanys most ex-
pert destroyers.
The Germans did their best
or worst to wreck the city COM
pletely. Take only few ex-
amples:: Thirty German sappers
spent two. weeks doing nothing
but mine the machinery at the
important Iva steel and iron
works. Mines in Naples most
important telephone exchange
wrecked 20 10000 dial num-
bers and many other i'm
portant insta lations. The
electric power network was sys-
tematically blown up. The
aqueduct was blown up in
dozen major places.
The restoration Of the wa
ter system in incredibly fast
time was our biggest and best
job" said Lieut.. Col A. Kraege
of Burlington, Kan, AMG's SEN
ior officer in Naples.
Incredibly fast time it was,
too. The worst damage was the
complete destruction of one long
section spanning a deep valley.
Civilian experts said it could
mt be repaired in less than three
months. The Fifth Army engi-
neers with civilian help bypass
ed the place in three days. Wa
ter was coming through within
eight days.
The water ran at a compare
tive trickle because, without
electric power, pumps could not
work to keep the main reservoir
at its proper level. The rigging
up of makeshift electrical sys-
tenn was AMG's second biggest
job.
NAILS HOLD POWER
PLANTS
Makeshift it had to be. The
Germans had destroyed all four
of Naples chief power substa-
tons. They held and still do the
main sources of Naples power
hydro plants to the
north.
Captain Harvey p. Wingate,
upper Montclair, N. 1.-THE
AMG officer who has been in
charge of the water supply
went to work on power. A new
transmission line was built to
southern hydro-electric plants
in Allied hands. Emergency
lines we're rugged. BY November
/, the first job was completed.
Because Of the danger of mines
wired to the power system, ev-
eryone was moved out of the
sections of Naples to get power
while the test was made. 1t
worked without incident. Power
was turned on in the essential
areas for special uses two days
later.
Throughout this cru c
month, civilian health somehow
remained good, except for a
threat of typhus. Other prob
lens still remain. There are no
phones for civilians. There Is
shortage of coal (the Germans
set fire TO 1000 tons). There is
no gas.
And all over the city there is
need for more food, relief and
industry.

as to the parents who lost their children and others who lost relatives or friends. They may take comfort in the thought that they meant well, and that they did what they could to get their charges out of that fast moving inferno. Their own escape should not be attended by self condemnation for things moved too rapidly for much rescue work amid the panic inside the tent, and in many cases the worst had happened before the first natural feeling of terror and helplessness had passed.
 The people of great community are united in pain, and If there can be anything ameliorating in this tragedy it is in the bonds of sympathy that has united a popu- lation, and in that evidence of far reaching self forgetfulness that revealed itself immediately the great need for help was known.
 The men of Bloomfield and Greater Hartford who are in the midst of war will not be less moved by this calamity than the folks at home, even though the sight of death and destruction has become daily experience to them. By such visitations man learns that through increasing wisdom and understanding, through wig ilance and virtue he must learn to overcome the insidious foes of human security.

THE CULPRIT HAD FRIENDS

Chief Bowen, like the Canadian Mounted Police, always gets his man, but one predatory creature has consistently eluded him right in his own domain.
 The common thief of varacious appetite had shown particular liking for several varities of the succulent vegetables strugoling to reach maturity in the Chiefs garden at the top of Juniper Hill. Naturally the Chief felt an in tensely personal challenge to end this flouting of law and order, and so he climbed into tree that commanded a view of bis victory rows and settled down with gun in hand to execute immediate judgment and justice.
 The result at the end of a long vigil was that the Chief did not get the woodchuck, but the mos quitoes got the Chief. Note: There will be an extra thirty days recommended for any prisoner at the bar who dares to chuckle over this reversal of justice.

OUR LOSS-THEIR GAIN

Simsbury has gained but Bloom field has lost in the transfer or Father Michael J. Guerin from the Blue Hills Parish of the Church of Christ the King. We are losing 9 friend whose spiritual and CIVIC contributions to the town were immeasurable.
 We have marveled at the re- sources of energy that have en- abled Father Guerin to teach at St. Thomas Seminary, conduct the affairs of his parish, and engage i'm the many secular activities that have brought him into close con- tact with the residents of our town. The brick parish house on Cottage Grove Road will stand as 9 memorial to his interest m wholesome social life for the peo- ple of all ages, and his hospitality fhere will be remembered as evidence of his affection tor all human beings regardless ot race' creed or color.
 Without sacrificing any eccles1- astical integrity, Father Guerln has been a striking example of the American ideal of tolerance that properly exercised makes all right minded people pround of those national guarantees that make It possible for people of differing faiths to live together in happy concord. :,
 To our good friend we extend our sincerest good wishes as he takes up his new responsibilities. .
