District Commission
Willing 10 Sponsor
Start Of Pastime

A proposal to add boxing to the
list Of sports in District public high
schools Is under consideration by
education officials here after an offer
was made yesterday by the District
Boxing Commission to sponsor start
Of the program by providing money
for rings, gloves and other equip
ment.
This offer was made at a meeting
of the commission yesterday at
tended by DR.. Frank Haycock, su-
perintendent of schools; DR.. Chester
Holmes, assistant superintendent,
and j. Dallas Shirley, acting head
of the Department of Health and
Physical Education. William D.
Leahy, head of the District selective
service system, also was present and
gave his approval to the proposal.
AS explained by Thomas P. Nor
gan, member of the commission,
boxing is a sport that will help con-
dition boys mentally for combat duty
In the armed forces. The man-to-
man contact of boxing gives boys
confidence and teaches them they
are the equal of any man their size,
he said. They may be physically
strong, yet unless they have done
some boxing they may have fear of
bodily contact, he added. This
opinion was backed by Chairman
Claude Owen and Member Clarence
Talley of the commission.
The Boxing Commission proposes
to use some of its surplus funds to
help get the program started in the
District if it receives the approval
OF the Board of Education.
Morgan presented a letter from
Comdr. Gene Tunney, former world
heavyweight champion, who had in
tended to be present yesterday, but
who was called out of town, backing
the proposal for boxing in District
schools. Boxing in schools in Eng
land comparable to our high schools |
has been compulsory for two CEN
turieS and has produced unusual
leadership and confidence,
Tunney said. With proper super
vision 1t ought to be an excellent
thing for schools in the District of
Columbia. I never knew an amateur
boxer who suffered more mental
anguish prior to actual combat than
man who has had no boxing.
Amateur boxing gives a boy self
confidence and he will be better
equipped mentally and physically
for combat"

summer.

While distance racing is only in

ORIENTATION NOTES


Last Mondays Orientation meet
ing at Post Headquarters Detach-
ment was in the nature OF an eX-
pertinent. After the regular news
analysis, fifteen-minute Skit writ
ten by Sgt. Thurman billiard was
presented, which endeavored to
transmit information in dialogue
form that is ordinarily presented as
a lecture. . , ereshas.
A somewhat humorous beginning
was made by having the chief char
acter give voice to various 'gripes'
which most soldiers have, and by
use Of local incidents and local fol-
bles. But gradually the lines be-
came more serious as the main idea
of explaining the true purpose of
the Orientation Program became
apparent. Several examples were
given of men like Booker T. Wash
ington, Frederick Douglas, Carl
Sandburg, Langston Hughes, Abra-
ham Lincoln and others who have
believed in and demonstrated the
unlimited power of the spoken word.
The value of free discussion in
moulding opinion and in preparing
the way for intelligent action was
emphasized. And the teachings of
1.-The Carpenter of Nazareth" were
mentioned as supreme examples Of
the spoken word.
The part of "Bootnose Green" was
ably handled by Pfc. "Sharkey' Hall
with his customary vigor and en-
thusiasm. Jim" was played by Sgt.
Thurman Dillard and the part of
the Sergeant in charge of Orienta-
ton: "Dribble-Pus JONES'" was
skillfully characterized by Pvt. Ar
thur Randall. 1t pleased all partic-
ipantS to believe that the essential
points were driven home as the per-
formance, on the whole, was very
well received.

Future Pride Considered

Realizing that, in the years to come, the
children of today who have been given the
opportunity to participate in winning the war,
will be proud and grateful, woman in the
Southern California War Finance Committee
originated the idea of "bonds for babies"
Miss Harriet Elliott, field director OF the
Women's Division in Washington, D. c.,
thought so we'll of it that she passed it on to
the women's sections in the various states.
Mrs Frederick Sloane Ford, state chairman
of the Women's Division of the War Finance
Committee for Michigan, saw the bonds pos
sibilities from a practical as we'll as senti-
mental standpoint.
And so, "bonds for babies" are to be fea-
tured by the women's division in the Sixth
War Loan campaign which starts tomorrow
and ends Dec. 10.
