Dear. ...:
Here are some more glances
through the pages of our T. S. ].
A. history. I'm hoping to hear
from you and other Saxons as to
what you think of this reminicing
letter.
l6 years ago, Jan. 10Th, 1928
The second week of the newly
organized league shows Cleveland
East and Salem again winning
and Farrell breaking into the win
column for the first time. Two of
the games were close hard con-
tests as East nosed out Lorain
34-30 at the Cleveland Turnverein
Gym and Youngstown travelled
to Farrell to lose 26-2l. The Sa-
lem-West game was a rout as Sa-
lem ran wild at West Tech High.
Salem playing a close guarding
game kept West bottled up all
night and their short passing at
tack was good for, basket after
basket as the whole team played
well. Scoring leaders were Flip
(16), ]. Sanders (l5-, and Ham
Q2) while Joe Brigadoi was best
for West with (8). The East-Lo-
rain game was nip and tuck all the
way through, Lorain led at the
half but East finally battled into
the final lead. Simonis again led
the field in scoring but he was al
most matched point for point by
Schneider of Lorain. "Bill" fin
ally scored II points and Schnei-
der IS. Seech led Farrell to a close
victory over Youngstown as he
scored Is points and played a
bang up all around boor game.
The Youngstown team again
showed balanced scoring power
but did not gnite make enough
points to win. Bretz and f. Schul-
Ter were best for the visitors. At
this time there was no club news
as basketball games were all of
the activities.
IS years ago, Jan. 18th, 1929
Continuing their unbroken string
of victories to II straight-4 in the
Ipresent season and 10 of the year
before Salem remained the only
unbeaten team as Homestead was
dumped by Lorain. The cham
pion Salem team out-classed 70.
54-23 in game that was hard
fought but never close as the Yo.
team could not hold back the scor-
ing drives of Ham (l7) Pete SAM
ders l6) and Older (lD, Hart
mann and E. Schuller led for Yo.
Lorain went into a tie for End
place with Homestead, East and
Alliance by downing Homestead
$3.50 in a game that was hard
fought and even the first half. In
the second half Mowry displayed
an uncanny ability to drop in long
shots as he made 7 baskets from
mid court these were too much for
the Homesteaders. Balbach led
for Homestead with 10 points.
Monaco broke into the wincolumn
by defeating Canton 29,22. Can
ton threatened throughout the
game until the last minutes to
play. ]. Leitschaft led his team
to victory with II points and was
aided by G.. Theil. All the Canton
boys aided in the scoring but did
not have enough drive left to over
take the Penna. team. Playing a
close defensive game with their
usual offensive game East wallop-
ed West 1923 as West scored but
7 goals. Coyle stole the scoring
lead from Simonis as he played
his best game of the season being
all over the floor on defense steal
ing passes and scoring l8 points.
Simonis and Kluter both played
great games to help Babe. Mar
tint and Olschon were best for
West but it was East's night. In
low scoring defensive game Alli-
ance nosed out Farrell 1914 in

ONLY THE WORTHY
REMAIN FREE

AS the calendar heraids 1914,
grim predictions of allied poll
tical and military leaders rank
foremost in the minds of all peo-
|ple. Observation-Disclosures
is the year of decision. 1t is the
year of total war and destruction,
death and suffering. 1t may we'll
be the year of military victory --
thanks to the courage of our fight
ing men and the American pro-
duction miracle.
Armament production in the
United States has reached stag
gering proportions. In November,
every five minutes saw the birth
of one new complete plan. The
months total was 8,789, of which
LOCO were heavy bombers. More
than 10000 planes have been
built since the start of hostilities.
Nineteen million tons of mer-
chant ships were launched in lo43,
compared to 10000 tons in Al.
Naval and shipbuilding has out
stripped the imaginations of the
widest dreamers. About a dozen
aircraft carriers were turned out
in November alone. Warship ton
mage in l94l was 2,l32,OOO. Out
of the ashes of Pearl Harbor it
rose to 100000 tons in 1943, a
colossus bent on the destruction
of Japanese aggression and Nazi
tyranny.
Tanks, gums and supplies are
being produced in unbelievable
quantities.
These things were made pos
sible by the productive genius of
free enterprise. In the hands of
10000 OOOOAmerican men and their
companions in arms, they are
Americas answer to the warped
leaders of Europe and Japan who
have challenged our freedom.
But we have no cause to rejoice.
Tens of thousands of our mefl
must die in 1914 to meet the chal-
lenge of the dictators. Usual year
end speechmaking and editorial
phrase-making are out of place.
The people were told when the
war started that they would have
to make sacrifices. They were told
that this was total war. And, vet,
other than those who have given
their men, no one has so far made
an iota of real sacrifice. 1t is not
in the cards for such a condition
to continue.
Sometime in the not-too-distant
future we: at home, are going to
find out what total war means,
even though we may never feel
the impact of bombs on our cities.
A pretty good indication of how
we are going to find out can be
seen in the gusts of bitter con-
troversy sweeping through the
land over strikes, taxes, subsidies
and initiation. They are the prelude
to the storm. When it hits in full
fury, the test of our love of free
dom will be upon us.
No person in this nation can
ever shut from his mind the aw-
full vision of the last days of l945
in which 1000 marines lay dead
on the beaches of one little South
Pacific Island. Those men died for
the right to be free. We at home
have yet to prove worthy of the
freedom for which they died.

THEY Y%HF}!l SHR LAST
General Henry A. Arnold, chief of
the Army Air Forces:

the Army Alr fOrceS:
"Charts, graphs and strategy
would mean nothing without the
devotion, anger and bitter pride
of our men. The reading public
has been almost surfaited with
fabulous accounts of how they
live and what they do. how after
having had three engines and a
wing shot off they come in on the
other wing, one engine and pray
er. Unfortunately, it always takes
two wings and usually two en-
gines to return. The crews are
made up of men. and it is as men,
not as heroes, that they have to
fight this war. 1t is dirty war, as
dirty as any. Heroes or not, our
men have done heroic things :.
not without regard to consequent
ces, as some like to think, but
knowing full we'll what the odds
were. Behind them and behind
every man in uniform are the men
and women who work in our air
craft factories, the farmers who
raise their food, the miners who
bring up the ore, the Women who
make parachutes, the 100000 vo-
lunteers who acted as plane spot
ters until they could be released
for other defense work. But final
tribute must be to the airmen
who pit their flesh, skill and steel
against the flesh, skill and steel
Of our enemies. 1t is they who
are fighting this war"
Carl w. Ackerman, dean of Co.
lurnbia University's Graduate
School of Journalism:
Immediately after the war
there must be an end to secret in
ternational conferences and to Of
fetal governmental propaganda
financed and operated for the pur-
pose of influencing public opinion
in foreign countries. Every nation
in the Western Hemisphere, whe-
ther large or small, is entitled to
international news freedom with
out being subject to international
propaganda pressures and induce
ments. Even the government OF
the United States of North Ame-
rica should go out of the interna-
tional propaganda business. First
of all within the Western Hemis-
phere, so that the free flow OF in
formation between all nations,
victor and vanquished alike, may
be on a basis of equality from the
standpoint of news interest and
values"
Paul v. McNutt, chairman of the
War Manpower Commission
women have more than the
usual reason for accepting part
time employment. Wives OF SER
vice men may find need for addi-
tional income and discover that
their household duties have meas
urably decreased after one or more
of the family have entered the
Armed Forces. These conditions
increase the possibility of part
time work for women. In Great
Britain more than $4,000 women

Loyal to Mr.. Willkie

To the Editor OF The Star:
read with great interest David Law
rence's column August IL, In which he
refers to possible Roosevelt Willkie
entente.
And I think Mr. Lawrence might be
interested in knowing the views of one
voter-myself. am just a small busi-
nesswoman Of average intelligence Il
hope) and have been Republican all
my life and would have voted the Re-
publican ticket this fall If the party
could have seen It's way clear to NOM
mate Mr.. Willkie. To my way of think
ing, he Is the greatest statesman and
the most liberal thinker the party has
had in many decade. But as matters
stand now, shall vote the Democratic
ticket simply because feel that one
of these great and ar-sighted men, Mr..
Roosevelt or Mr.. Willkie should be at
the head Of our Government during the
rest Of this crisis.
These are my views for what they
are worth. would be interested to
know how many other voters feel the
same way. MARGUERITE PARKS.

Letters to The Star
Tells Home. Front Troubles
of Service Families

10 the 1ditsr Of The star:
One reads that there Il some bin
before Congreas to give discharged war
workers sSS week. Whyi Most Of
them made big wages and in many
families both husband and wife drew
these fancy wages. think most Of
them worked for the money and not
from any sense 'of patriotism. Since
most bought bonds. they should have
NEST eggs"
Meanwhile, servicemen's families have
had to exist on 4 bare pittance. A
seryicemsn's wife with one child re-
ceived the princely sum OF go month.
How could she maintain home on
that7 She couldn't. 30 furniture was
sold or stored and she moved In with
his parents or hers, but who cared7
In Toledo 4 servicernan came home
on furlough to find his wife Ill and his
six children uncared for. He took them
to the Child Institute and the wife to
the hospital.
Returning veterans get the shock Of
their lives when they see strikes all
over the Nation and the American
people quite complacent about It, They
are shocked, too, at our complete ig-
norance OF what they and their buddies
had been and are enduring "over there"
Small wonder they are bitter and dis
illusioned at the spectacle on the
home front.
