Visits Capital of
Wisconsin
PRIZE CONTRIBUTION
By Paula Simonds, IS,


Ance OeAt Junior d1Eh School.
"Madisonl" called the bus driver
and when mother and I got of. ]
had my first glimpse of the capital
OF Wisconsin.
Some friends met us at the station
and. after we had deposited our bag
gage at their home. we were taken
on q sightseeing tour of the city
We saw the Capitol Building, which
has the third highest dome In the
world and Is located TN q square
park that is beautifully Handicapped
We drove by Lakes Mendoza and
Monona, between which Madison is
located, and then to the Union,
which was erected . a memorial to
the Wisconsin men and women who
served In our country's wars. The
building is used as the recreational
headquarters of the University OF
Wisconsin.
AS one enters the Union, there is
a large bulletin board on which
the schedule for the week is posted
Adjoining the hallway are lounge
ballroom, assembly rooms and din
ing room, where we had lunch. In
the corridor leading to the theater
are pictures Of the actors who have
played there. The theater, which
was completed in 1899, is one of the
largest and best equipped colleg,
auditoriums in the country.
After the Union, we visited some
of the other buildings, including the
Chemistry, with its laboratories ane
lecture rooms, the Engineering ane
Law Buildings.
On the campus Is VIVA, oldest
educational station in America, es-
tablished in 1917; also Music Hall
said to be the oldest university build
ing, which was originally intended
for q church. At the upper end oil
the campus in Bascom Hall, formerly
Main Hall. Some of the other build
ings are the library, administration
gymnasium and dormitories.

The Latin American artist finds

terest as subject, to Judge from
the exhibition of IS Latin American
prints which opened last Sunday at
the Corcoran Gallery of Art, to re-
main through October Is. Whereas
many Of our own printmakers are
preoccupied with landscape OF
architecture, the Latin Americans
seldom depict these per Sc; they ap-
parently regard them as mere set
tings for the human element.
Said to be the most extensive ex-
hibition of graphic arts from Gen.
trail and South America yet shown
in the United States, the present
collection was selected in 1941 for
International Business Machines
Corp. by John Taylor Arms, presi-
dent of the Society of American
Etchers and of the American Ma
tional Committee of Engraving. 1t
was assembled simultaneously with
the United States and Canadian
groups of the company's collection

more than 40 such institutions.
The laudable aims Of Thomas j
Watson, president of Internationa
Business Machines Corp, in acquir-
ing and circulating these print
shows, are to promote mutual
friendship and understanding, be-
tween our country and Latin
America, and to further the de-
velopment of contemporary graphic
art in general. It is recognized, oil
course, that the task of cementine
relations between nations requires
the cooperation of government anc
business interests. incidentally. II
IS somewhat ironic that, excluding
Mexico, the Latin American nation
whose artists in recent years have
been most extensively exhibited in
the United States, have won the
largest number of prizes, and have
been most highly praised, is Argen-
tina. Her government has not emu
lated her artists in creating good
impressions abroad.

could not weed. SO my father had
to do 1t all alone, many night
working until 10 or II o'clock by the
aid Of the moon or car lights.
Last winter, my mother was
against planting anything more in
the spring than corn and tomatoes
The year before daddy had planted
almost every vegetable you could
think Of and mother, because OF
all the work involved, rapidly be-
came a Victory garden widow
This year daddy succumbed to
mothers wishes and planted only
800 hills Of corn, $50 tomato plants,
string beans, sweet potatoes, Gu
cumbers, broccoli, radishes and cab
bage.
Daddy's Idea.
When daddy informed us of all
he had planted, mother said
What are you going to do with all
of the corn and tomatoes that we
don't eat and CAM. Well be able
to eat the other vegetables, but
not all Of that corn and tomatoes,
We'll, have an idea" daddy
answered. I'm going to give them
to Raymond to sell. I'll put I'D a
small stand for him and he can
earn some pocket money that way"
Then added my comment: "Whv
don't I try to earn enough to buy
a SIS War Bond and put it with
the other ones I already have for
my college education. I already
have $14.50 saved up and III only
need $4.25 to get one"
Daddy carried three low benches
to the end of the walk for the stand
and I began telling our neighbors
of my business venture. They were
very interested and ordered both
corn and tomatoes. When the first
day was over, had earned $3.75.
In one very good day, sold
over 50 worth Of vegetables. had
SO much business, I had to have a
helper, an 8-year-old, part-time
employe. I paid him from 10 cents
to rs cents day. He said 1t, was
a lot of fun.
Sold Fruit, Too.
In addition to the vegetables, !
sold two bushels of crab apples for
jelly near the end Of August. They
were from small tree in our back
yard. They went like hot cakes. y
even though there was a lack of
sugar.
I only had one catastrophe-a
little boy fell in the middle of a
pyramid of tomatoes I had on
display. He destroyed 8 pounds
of them.
During this venture, I learned
tact, courtesy, bargaining and how
to make sales and change.
AS the days went along, I watched
the money grow from the purchase
price of $25 War Bond to $3.50
the price Of two, then to $56.25, the
price of three, and then, much to
my surprise and pleasure, passed
the SIS mark, and I am now buy
ing four SOS Bonds.
I have accomplished three very
good purposes: Helping to furnish
our soldiers with war materials
helping to supply food to our COM
munity and increasing my college
fund.

Cranernan Wilcox Saves Small Boy

Craneman Wilcox had just parked his car in his usual place,
 which happens to be the area be- tween two houses on Poquonnock Road. He was sitting there doing nothing in particular, perhaps
 waiting for the spirit to move so he could get out of his car and get
 going to his job on the second shift.
 Close by, all unknown to Wilcox, a drama was being unfolded. It seems that two women had become aware that all was not well with small boy who somehow or other had got himself locked up in an upstairs bathroom.
 To make matters worse it ap- peared that in the room with the boy there was also an oilstove that
 was not acting nice, in fact, it was very decidedly smoking and was threatening to suffocate the young victim. The two ladies aforemen-
 toned were making valiant efforts
 to place a ladder to the window
 and not having much success. A passerby who happened to be Carl Sigmund noticed the strug- g1ing women and immediately cast
 about for a way to help, his eye
 falling upon our hero, who was
 still calmly sitting in his car wait { ing for the spirit to move. Carl yelled for help. Well, boys and girls, MT. Wilcox took in the Situa- ton at a glance, and anybody who doubts that a spirit can move should have seen our hero. l He tore out of his car, rushed over and singlehanded put that
 ladder up, was up it in a flash, and
 had that small boy down on the
 ground in nothing flat.
 ! When interviewed, Wilcox mod estly disclaimed any credit for his
 heroic act merely saying, "Aw-
 anyone would have done the
 same"
 But to my mind it only goes to prove that a craneman is a very handy man to have around in an
 emergency, being used to heights
 and ladders and quick thinking.

Hull No. 2 BOWlers Prove Good Sports

Sportsmanship of the highest grade is displayed by Hull No. 2 of the Friday Night Bowling League. Never a consistent win- Fner, this group of bowlers never theless show up each week with regularity, determined to put up Ia good game, win or lose. It is spirit of this kind which enables |-sports to carry on despite outside
 obstacles.
 Arvid Johnson is the captain
 and handspring of the team. Arvid
 does himself we'll as a kegler, and each year gets his men together
 and somehow or other keeps them coming, which is more than can
 be said for the more consistent scoring teams. Other members of Hull No. 2 team are Cafaro, Dev- enditis, Smith, and Akroid.

 |EarlySeasOnDefeat By Hamilton Prop.

The Electric Boat Trojans, under new coach Mike Severin, avenged an earlier season defeat at the hands of the Hamilton Propeller team of Westerly, by scoring a close victory over the Hamilton boys at their Westerly, R. I. court. The final score was 49 to AZ, a breath taking goal by Bill Tunes Xii gave the E. B. team the neces- sary two points. Chick" Chicocki, who has made an excellent come back after a 1ay-off of one year, tossed in 16 points to lead the scoring.
 This makes it one game each for the two teams. Manager Jerry Villain of the Trojans announces that a third game may take place at Westerly, but no definite date has yet been set. The first game was played as a preliminary to the FDiesel-Detroit Eagle contest, with the Hamilton team winning by Q score of .57 to 40.
