Vomp Bits
By Vampire T.

After a long leave of alb
sence I am returning to give
you a bit of Vamp Bits.
In all my other columns l
brought the news of dances and
or various affairs but now this
is a different column-it is for
the graduates of Collinwood Hi
and other schools.
When we were in school how
we envied the 12A's and now,
when it is our time to take
leave, the majority of us are
sorry that our school days are
short. First came the great day
of the Prom and then Glass
Day, but last of all came Com
mencement. The theme was a
democratic one and the best
part was that of Abe Lincoln
played by Ray Durn. When lis
tening to the different speeches
on democracy we didn't give
much thought about graduating
but then when we received our
diplomas and sang our Alma
Mater there were tears in the
eyes of some of the pupils, or
should I say ladies and gentle
men of the class, and your re-
| porter was one of them. After
that was over you just had to
stop and think for while that
in all your life you will never
see school again and the rest of
the class you so dearly admired

were taken out of you and nev.

didn't know what to do with

others getting into the armed

Comrades War Bond Dance February 5th


nounced and dedicated to bond
buyers that are helping to put
Comrades War Bond Drive
across.
If you will be unable to be at
the February '5th dance there
will be another affair on the
18th with music by Peter Sr-
nick and his orchestra.
An acknowledgement of our
dance invitation was received
from Ernie Pyle's office. They
stated that while Ernie would
have been most happy to be
present duties across are oc-
cupying his attention at the
moment. An invitation was also
sent to different dignitaries, in
Guiding President Roosevelt.
Coming back to the subject
of War Bonds which is a para
mount subject of the day, many
of the Bond buyers listed above
requested the writer to call
again in a few weeks. Lodges
and clubs holding meetings dur
ing this drive should make it a
point to bring this subject up
for discussion.
My experience as a bonda-
dier has been interesting and
most gratifying. In no single
instance did the writer come
across anyone who was not
more than willing to do all in
their power. Practically every
one regretted that a greater
price Bond could not be pur-
chased. We sincerely hope their
prayers will be answered; that
their small bit will help in get.
ting our boys back home sooner
In conclusion we repeat
Back the Attack-Buy An Ex-
ira War Bond" Also, listen to

American Legion
News

At our first meeting this
year, at which we hoped to have
a large attendance, it seemed
that the old myth number "13"
had a superstitious spell cast
upon some of the members. At
our initial session January 18th,
1914, when the attendance was
just about fair, the "American
Legion Department of Ohio" ;"
once again extended congratu-
lations to the Post for reaching
its quota. By reaching this
number, it makes 18 consecu-
tive years that the Post has met
or exceeded it's membership
quota. We owe our grateful
thanks for this remarkable
achievement to our ever-alert
Adjutant R. F. Gregorich who
is constantly on the job.
AS guests at this meeting we
had Scoutmaster Felix A. Dan
ton and Mr.. Thomas A. Cook,
field scout executive, explaining
to us the program and organi-
zation of clubbing. Clubbing is
for boys ranging from the ages
of 9, 10 and II years of age.
AS sponsors to the Boy Scout
troop $50 and Sea Scout Ship
"Saratoga' and also to this new
group which is now being
formed, the members of the
Lake Shore Post invite enroll
ment in this new organization.
The main object is to give these
youngsters the right start

tainment committee to attend
their session which was held
January 29th, at John L. Mihe-
lich's residence. Upon my ar
rival that day all were present
with the exception of John Bu-
kovnik who came five minutes
later. Very prompt this gang,
I thought to myself. They are
seldom like that at the regular
meetings. How come? Then
suddenly Chairman Frank Skok
went into action. | was bewil-
dered again but not for long,
for as soon as the session was
over, out came the card tables
and a case of Carvings, and
the game was on. To get to the
point, the committee has de-
cided to hold a Social and Card
Party which will be held at Mr..
and Mrs. Frank Snyder's resi-
dence, on February 10Th, for
members and their friends.
Prospective members, from
both World War l and the pres
ent war are also invited. Many
self-denials were made by men,
bers contributing ration stamps
towards the refreshments.
We are looking forward to
good attendance at our next
meeting, Thursday, February
10th at the st. Clair Recreation
Center, so that we may more
fully plan on the attendance for
the above affair.
Remember: The boys are
still in the Army. Retaliate by
buying more War Bonds.

Continued from last week.
Dolivet-Mr. Raditsa, how
can the Balkans get out of the
grasp of these reactionary
forces?
Bogdan Raditsa-There is
only one way. The old slogan,
"The Balkans for the Balkan
people," must be rejuvenated
into formula for a Balkan
community Of free Balkan ma
tions. This community must be
a link between the West and
Russia and not an attempt to
isolate Russia behind a series of
buffer states erected against
Russia. The Balkans must real
ize the global sence of this war;
that we must achieve a free
world in cooperation with the
three major powers in the free
world-Russia, Great Britain
and the United States.
The masses Of the Balkan
peoples want liberation from
corrupt ruling classes at home.
They want to become federated
in a free community of Balkan
nations.
You must take into account
the enormous pro-Russian feel
ing throughout the Balkans. 1t
is inspired by the Russian peo-
ple's resistance. The reports
now arriving from the Balkans
say there are two currents of
feeling-one pro-Russian and
the other pro-Allied q mean
pro-Anglo-American). We must
effect a unity between those
two currents. That unity can
be achieved only if the Balkan
peoples are free. The pro-Rus.
sian feeling must be respected
because that is the sentiment OF
the peasant people and the
peasant in the Balkans is the
common man of the future.
You cannot, however, realize
community of free Balkan
nations if you do not have g
democratic form of government
within each country. The new
leaders arising from the peo
pies resistance are bringing
with them the conception of g
democratic order in the Bal
kans.
Dolivet-I think we agree as
to the need for democratic re
gimes in the Balkan countries

Fairgrounds Needed
More Than Stadium,
Conference Advised

Additional public Fairgrounds are
more urgently needed In the District
than the proposed new stadium, the
wartime recreation conference at
the White House was told last night
by Mark A. McCloskey, director of.
Community War Services for the
Federal Security Agency.
Il am interested in your getting
a stadium" he told members of the
War Recreation Workers Associa-
ton meeting at the invitation of
Mrs. Roosevelt But l am more
interested in your getting many
more Fairgrounds in the District"
The District-and many other
cities of similar size-has poorly dis
tributed its Fairgrounds so that
tough places" and public sick
beds" often are entirely lacking in
the recreational facilities that might
help cure their ills, Mr.. McCloskey
said. He warned workers to avoid
becoming mere guardians of basket
balls" and instead see the higher
aims OF teaching people to enjoy
themselves.
Another speaker, DR.. Howard Nc
Cluskey of Michigan University,
said that concentration on the post
war needs of veterans should not
blind recreational workers to jul
venile recreation demand.
I'VE may have another lost gen.
eration," he said. He asked that
community agencies continue to CO.
operate In the future as they have
in the wartime emergency.
Mrs. Roosevelt closed the confer
ence, held all day in the East Room,
by describing it as fruitful" Dis
cussion from the floor centered on
the possibility that USO clubs might
become permanent institution,
which was denied by Ray Johns, di-
rector of operations of the conti
mental USO clubs. 1t already has
been announced, he said, that USO
clubs expect their usefulness to end

Sport News For
Men In Service
By T. H. BENNETT,
Laurel high school principal and
athletic coach

At this stage of the season it
looks like Columbus. Red Lodge and
Belfry have the strongest basketball
teams in this district. Belfry has
lost to both Columbus and the
Miners. The Cougars and Red
Lodge have not yet scheduled each
other and they may not play until
tournament time. There is no doubt
that this years Columbus team is
one of the best in the history of
the school. Most of their boys are
small but they got off the floor
high enough last week TO throw a
scare into their much taller Billings
opponents. The Broncs finally won
the game, 46 to 40, which opened
their home season, but Columbus
was ahead at the first quarter and
only one point behind at the
half.
