Why Was | Born?

Some years ago as a student at Virginia State
College in Petersburg, Va | was asked to
speak before the student body during weekly
assembly and | used the subject, Why Was
| Born?" Last week as sat in the chapel and
listened to Chaplain Martin developing his
subject The Flagman, the similarity of
thought so close that | suddenly realized
how important it really is for one to know
why he was born
Why was born? That's question to which
each Individual should seek the answer in order
to ascertain if he is really living his life in
cordance with the purpose of his birth AS
Chaplain Martin puts it: Are you doing
good job with your talent or do you have it
buried where it will be useles toward the de-
velopment Of real civilization?"
Yes, you were born for a purpose. Maybe
you can't play music that will thrill millions;
no doubt you can sing like those whose melo-
dious voices seem to pierce men souls; maybe
you can paint as the artist who brings realism
before your eyes No, maybe you can't do
many things that you desire to but if you sit
yourself down and examine yourself there Is
som ething that you can do that others cant.
Also, you will find your job, and, however
small to you it may seem, it is important and
will contribute toward the eventual success of
any undertaking.
Why was | born? All of us were born for
a purpose. Let US find that purpose; and let
us do our jobs we'll for they are important
and important.

You say you are lonely each time you write,
You dream of me while asleep at night,
You hope that Ill be coming home soon,
And go with you for walks beneath the moon.
You say you miss me as days go by,
My letters are sweet and yet you cry,
You think of the things we used to do,
And write to me often when feeling blue.

It's you, only you I'm thinking Of

But you cannot be as lonely as |.
know what the word lonely means
And how, feel from what I've seen
cannot go to a show or dance
cannot make dates or have romance.
4 have a job that must be done
And will not rest until we have won;
have no time for dates or play.
You say your lonely stay that way.
The war can't last forever, know;
But here in the Pacific there no place to GO
The people are strange and don't understand
We find enjoyment wherever we can.

You have date without mate.

I'm trying to plain my loneliness to you

KODIAK - (AP)- Kodiak was an accidental target for live shells one morning recently when four 20 millimeter anti-aircraft shells landed in town during firing at a lowed sleeve target.
 One shell fell on Main Street and another lit near the Russian church and exploded. A frag- ment of one went through the roof of a residence and fell 0 hall bed without exploding. The fourth, also a dud, penetrat- ed the roof of a downtown cock tail bar. It hit the bar, bounced 10 the floor and rebounded onto pinball machine, breaking the glass,

That the incoming officers and board of the Chamber of Com merce should lead in formulating postwar program to assemble the necessary data to be ready to be presented to the proper au thorities as soon as it becomes necessary to formulate a program for the Territory and the Second Division. This postwar program has been, and is, now in the fore most attention of the nation as well as other cities in Alaska. We all realize that this program will be necessary for the caring of the unemployment problem, which will undoubtdly become problem No. l in the near future. In the past Nome's requests have been modest as Nome has received the least amount of help than any other city in Alaska.

Birds Like
Free Eats

LANSING, Feb. 28-Pheas-
ants enjoy eating at the free
table provided by feeding sta
tions and furnish much pleasure
to their hosts, but they do not
actually need the food. particu-
larly in a winter with weather
conditions like the present, the
game division of the conserva-
tion department points out in
answering inquiries about win
ter bird feeding.
The pheasant is a hardy, ad-
aptable bird and very seldom re-
quires special feeding in south
ern Michigan. Occasionally dur
ing heavy sleet storms a few
pheasants may die from lack of
food, but even this is doubtful,
game men say. In a winter like
this one, pheasants can find
plenty of weed seeds, corn that
has been left in the shock or
dropped in the field, soy beans
that have not been harvested
and other crop residues to keep
them we'll fed.

Labor Fights
For Bargaining
Guarantees

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo, (FP)
Missouri labor-AFL, CIO anc
the railroad brotherhood
chalked up an important victory
when the labor committee of the
constitutional convention, now
in session here, recommended 6
constitutional guarantee of the
right to organize for collective
bargaining.
In addition the committee
threw out a clause which would
have banned a closed shop con-
tract.
The collective bargaining pro-
posal, sponsored by Pres. Reuben
T. Wood of the Missouri Fedora
ton of Labor, a delegate to the
convention, reads:
There shall be no abridge-
ment of the right of employees to
join, organize or remain mem
bers of any bona fide labor or
ganiZation and to exercise the
right of collective bargaining
through representatives of their
own choosing; nor shall any en-
ploye be Disseminated against
for such labor union activity"
Another recommended proviS-
ion guarantees to municipal,
county or state employees the
right to belong to any fraternal
or labor organization or to any
creed, religious or political" and
forbids discrimination against
employees because of union affi-
liation or religious or political
belief"
After a bitter argument the
conventions educational COM
mittee voted 8 to 8 to drop any
reference to racial segregation
in public schools. This action
overturns provision in the 1875
constitution that separate free
public schools shall be establish
ed for the education of children
of African descent"
Closeness of the vote, however,
foreshadows hot debate when
the recommendation comes out
on the convention floor.

Bowling
Classic Is
Scheduled
BY Ed MOndy

Well here it is, fellow bowl
ers! Just what many of you have
been looking forward to all year
the first annual UAW-CIO Lo-
cal IL Individual Classic, to be
held at the Collingwood Bowl
O-Drome on Saturda.' and Sun
day, April l and 2.
There will be two classes, A
and B. Bowlers whose highest
league averages are IT'S and un-
der will be entered in class B..
Bowlers with 176 and better will
bowl in class A.
Four games will be rolled
across eight alleys. The entry fee
is SIS plus 81 so for bowling, with
a 1907 return of entry money
in prizes. Get your entries in
early, because the field is limited
to 144 places, 72 to each class.
For more detailed information
as to the time of shifts, prizes
and rules of bowling, read next

When the 1910 is left stand
ing as shown on chart No. Al,
the right-handed bowler must
start his ball from the left of the
center of the alley. The same
general rule given for chart 40
applies here also. In this case,
however, the ball can strike the
3 pin just trifle to the left Of
the center - this depending a
great deal on the type of deliV-
cry used. This spare is some
times accidentally made by hav-
ing the ball just touch the 3 pin
on the right-hand side, the ball
then going through and fitting
between the 8 and 10 pins. There
is a remote chance of striking
the 3 pin on the left-hand side
causing it to 60 to the kickback
and rebound full into the 10
and the 10 knocking the 9 over
to the left, but neither 40 or Al
should be played in this manner
at any time.
DODO SPLIT
Chart No. az shows what is
called a "dodo split" the dog
leg" and the "washout" in vari-
Gus bowling centers. This is gen.
orally left by just missing the
headpin on the right-hand side
when rolling a hook ball. It can
be made in two ways, but in both
instances the head-pin must be
struck on the left side, the ball
carrying through into the 2 pin
and the head-pin going either di-
rectly to the 10 pin or to the
kickback and rebounding onto
the 10 pin. 1t is in no manner
as difficult as the $40, although
many bowlers apparently believe
this to be the case.
Chart No. 43 shows the 4-7-9
leave. Although the chart shows
that this leave should be at
tackled from the left-hand side
of the alley, it may in reality be
bowled at from any spot at the
foul line. However, the hook
ball bowler should nevertheless
bowl at it from somewhere to
the left of the strike spot. In or
der to convert this into a spare,
the 4 pin must definitely strike
the 8. The angle here is identi-
cal with that between the 5 and
10 pins.

New Department
Is Suggested

COLUMBUS, Feb. 29-Crea-
ton of new State Department
of Conservation was suggested
by Conservation Commissioner
Don Waters recently. Mr..
Waters advocated that the new
department embrace all state
agencies concerned with the
conservation and development
of Ohio's natural resources.
In making the change, Com
missioner Waters stated that
the present Division of Conser-
walton should still be guided by
bipartisan commission, as es-
tablished in 1929, but suggested
a greater representation of
farmers, since, under the set-up
lit would become a division of a
new State Department of Con-
servation, instead of division
of the Department of Agricul-
ture,
Also, under the Waters plan,
would be included divisions of
forestry, the water supply board,
the state geologist, a state parks
board and the state soil conSer-
walton activities,
The change, which would re-
quire legislative action, Com
missioner Waters stated is great
ly needed in Ohio for a we'll
rounded, coordinate program
of conserving and restoring the
states natural resources. 1T is
perfectly ridiculous to have
them scattered in a number of
different departments" he said

BowIers'
Clinic
MORE SPLITS
Courtesy A. B. c.

In chart No. 38 we show the
4-5-7 split which is left up gen.
orally following a weak or thin
hit. The spare ball is often be-
tween the 4 and 5 pin with the
7 left standing because the 4 IS
hit so thin that it rebounds off
the kickback without touching
the 7. If, however, one is fortu-
nate enough to strike the 5
lightly and the 4 a trifle more
full so that it goes TO the kick
back toward the Z. it oftentimes
carries the off. Even the most
proficient bowler will find this
leave difficult to convert into a
spare at all times although he
may fit the ball between the 4
and pins. This leave, being on
the left-hand side of the alley,
should be rolled at from the
right of the center of the alley.
No. 80 presents the same
problem but here the hook
bowler must definitely move to
either the center or the left half
of the approach in order to bowl
at the spare from the proper an
gle. The straight ball bowler
can bowl at this leave from near
his strike spot, but would have
a greater advantage If he started
his ball at least a trifle to the
left of the spot from which he
starts his strike ball.
Leave No. 40 is far more diff
cult to convert into a spare than
would seem to be the case. Here
we have combination of tan
dem and a split with which TO
contend. The safest way to at
tack this leave is to have the ball
strike the 2 pin almost full and
have the 2 carry into both the
Z and 8 although it is made now
and then by having the 2 take
off the 8 and the ball following
into the Z. A fairly slow ball
which would permit the 2 pin
to fall into somewhat of hori-
zontal position is advisable in
order that the 2 pin cover a
wider area than when struck
with speed which would send il
off in an upright position. This
spare should at all times be
bowled at from the right of the
center of the alley.
