Hording High
 "Does" $25,OO0
By JOHN A. CLUNEY

Though it was far from state championship rating this past sea- son, Harding High School of Bridge port, without stadium in any way comparable with Waterbury'S $350,- 900 municipal beauty attracted $25,- 900 worth of high school football customers mot including those who jumped over the fence according to report from athletic. director "Josh" Kicker to the Harding Fath- .ers' Club, which recently met at an annual banquet. He also told his listeners that Harding would be willing to invest the $1O,O00 it now has in the bank, if Bassick and Gen. tral will go along with the idea, and match the amount to get 8 new municipal stadium started, just for the privilege of playing one game ir it each year."
 More than 5O,O00 people paid to see the President perform last fall; with $7,000 going to visiting teams as guarantees and $4,000 more to the government for taxes. OFCA pOOV Woo okICAAo AO4 4NAAaA>AS- Al BILLS. Harding Central drew 11,000 people; Harding -Stratford, 8,465; Harding Stamford, 6,600
 fans; Harding-Fairfield, 5,565;
 Harding -Hillhouse ,3,791; New Britain, $500; Bassick, 5000 and
 White Plains, 5000.
 When and if the proposed new municipal stadium is finished; and
 1t could be added to each year, MT. Kicker believes it should have
 a seating capacity of 10000 people.
 Waterbury's stadium cost .$350, ,O0C (80 percent government money) but there isn't team that can fill it one day year; so where does Hard- ing expect to get with a $l0,000 in- vestment; though the Bridgeport in ter-city rivalry involving Harding Bassick and Central is so strong plus Fairfield and Stamford, that they could easily fill such stadium tWt or three times a season.

 In piling up a 34 to IA half-time advantage over Wesleyan in the opener, and then coasting to a 54 to 36 decision, the current Eli cage squad showed 8 lot of offensive power, but it was evident that Coach Robert A.

arrival of a new outfit in town,
however, that doubt was quickly

of the over commerciai.zation of
Mothers Day. Nevertheless it
seems fair to assume that just
about everybody welcomes the OPP
portunity to pay some special trib-
ute tof one kind of another) to his
mother on the designated day
With this thought in mind the
USO plans to have the occasion
observed at the Club twice this
coming Sunday May 18th. A
number of the Patronesses will help
in the serving of coffee and waf-
files at the usual o'clock party;
and more of these ladies will be
present to participate in the $50
Vesper Service at the Club. OF
this group there will be several who
are mothers of servicemen.
Some special features are plan-
med for the Vespers, which it is
believed will be very appealing to
the fellows. This is one reason for
urging all servicemen to join us
in this service. However, there is
a much more compelling reason for
your attendance that evening: So
far as YOU are concerned, the OBJ
servance of the day is solely in
honor of YOUR MOTHER. And
although flowers and cards and
other gifts doubtless will be much
appreciated presents. can you doubt
for moment that YOUR MOTHER
would find much more beautiful
and more deeply satisfying some
thing that YOU might do in the
spiritual realm in her honor? So,
how about it, fellows, what do you
say to coming into the USO lobby

ance of Mothers Day that you can
dbe sure will mean the most of all
