AS thoughts drift backward to Christmas of year ago, we recall how much everyone wishing the would be short and the boys would be back to celebrate their next Yuede at home. The week before Christmas thousands of American troops trapped the Battle of the Belgian Bulge, and those at home find ing their confidence wavering in quick victory, dreadng the time the Americans would begin to crash the boundaries of Germany proper. survey taken by local factory newspaper indicated that most people
 cpated victory in Europe within the year, but expected
 that the Japanese would not be concluded until 946 or 1947 But Providence better than most of could hope for and has again returned America Yes, Christmas of 1945 is a much brighter and more joyous than Christmas of 1944. Yet first peace time Christmas not quite the completely happy tranquil Christmas expected the occasion would be. We're thinking of the boys who didn't back We're think ing of the millions still serving in Europe the Pacific Korea, China, Burma and Japan. We're thinking too about the outcome of this peace Perhaps it's the news in the papers, Millions starving in Europe. More than 50 cent of the French children ill with uberc- losis Pictures of Italians still warding off the cold with rags wound around their bodies. Revolt and civil war in Asia and South America Maybe the trouble we have to have Good Will towards Men well as Peace on Earth if we want to live happily. fellow has to be pretty selfish if he be happy when his neighbor is starving And maybe that's why this American Christ mas isn't meeting expectations. Perhaps we'll never be happy until we know that the poor suppressed ignorant peoples of other nations well off as we are. And maybe that's it should be. Maybe it will spur us trbuton of the good things which God has created and healthy respect for His children whether they live in mud hut in the Congo, worship before Buddha May be when the havenots lifted the American way life, America will be really happy And maybe that's only as it should be-

Business Reverses-A little seven year old boy, p the RObnwood section, wanting to earn little Xmas money Wednesday-and not being detained at school went about looking for jobs shovefng sidewalks His first one after hard back and work netted him 50 cents.
 You can imagine, he pretty happy.
 On he went to the next house holding tight to his hard earned 50 cents. Then it happened-the shovel slipped and the 50 cents fell from his cluched hand.
 His hard work was all for naught; and his heart was nearly broken. But perhaps the story will have happier ending. There's still plenty of on the ground and reports indicate many side walks. Well-gOOd luck anyway

going to give a good account of
themselves. Mickey has got them
hustling; they're taking chances for
extra bases; when they strike ou'
they go down swinging, instead Of
being called out with their bat on
their shoulders; they make errors,
but they make plenty of good plays

the better team right now.

Wrestling Champ
At Armory Tonight

Gus Ludwig, local wrestling pco-

tainly dished up a real treat for
wrestling fans in the person of Babe
Sharkey, the acknowledged champ
ion of them all, who will appear in
the feature bout at the Armory to-
night.
Sharkey has held the crown since
March, 1914, and is packing them in
at all the big wrestling shows
throughout this section of the coun-
try His opponent will be the color
full Matte Brown, one-time heavy
weight boxer, and the supporting
card will include two bouts between
members of the fair sex.

all about and put on a real show,

And now for a little criticism. |
don't like the way the left side of
the inield is being juggled around.
Drozd played third base on open
ing night, with Joe Moss at short.
On Sunday Vince Fauci took over
the hot corner q understand Drozd
was released), with Moss again on
short.
But on Monday night, at Lam
caster, Fauci was shifted to short
and manager Balla was on third.
We all know that Moss can only
play the home games and while he
looked good, both on offense and
defense, the team will definitely be
weakened as long as the infeld has
to be juggled around all the time.
l hope by the time the boys get
back here on Friday, Balla will
have settled on his infield, even if
1t means using Moss only as pinch
hitter for the home games. Per.

have heard rumor that there
is chance that Steve Sloboda has
changed his mind again and will
join the team, possibly before they
get back on Friday. Of course il
that is true, there will have to be
more reshuffling of the infeld. But,
as l said, that is only a rumor, and
until it becomes fact, I'm still
sticking with Fauci on third and
Balla on short.
1t sure is funny. Last season
owner Sterling would have given
everything but the kitchen sink for
couple of good infielders, and
here it is, just the first week of the
1945 season, and he and Balla are
like the old woman in the shoe;
they have so many infelders, they
don't know what to do"
Babe Sharkey, king of the "Grunt
and Groan" brigade is the star at
traction at Gus Ludwig's wrestling
show at the Armory tonight, al
though there are those who will
argue that the lady wrestlers are
the attraction. All in all, it looks
like a good card, so get on out there
and enjoy yourself.
