In Memoriu'

Dedicated to all our beloved--wno hav.
walked in the valley of silence)
Take up the damp covers of earth
And let me walk again
Amongst the green trees and the f1owerins
shrubs,
Feeling the soft winds kissing my ease,
Iace.
How long have slept here
Dreaming of nothingness-
Maybe hundred years-maybe an hour
or So
Maybe an eternity.
Only the dead can speak to the dead.
The living look at the long rows
And wonder whence they all came.
Tears pile upon years-wars come after
And all that remain of the aftermath
Is tears and heart break and names.
Names carved deep in white marble.
What does it really matter
Whence came, or the reason.
Sufhcient that here is my homeland
Sufficient that served my country.
The sky and the sun and the land
Measured the hours of our being
And time cut the skein of our destiny
And men wrote book called history.
But here we are one with our Maker
Taking our rest in the soft clay
Surrounded by trees and beloved ones
The long sleep that goes on forever.
Yes, here we can lie in the sunlight
And talk of the days we were living
The days we were laughing and playing
Dream OF our loves and our loved ones.
Sometimes I have walked from my slumber
By the soft muted voice of a bugle
And I know that a brother is coming
To share my home meath the stars.
Peace to the hills and the valleys
And peace to the rivers and mountains
hunters
The living shall never know peace!

Extension Next Week
BY the Assoeiaisd Press

Sponsors of a much-modified
rent control extension today
predicted Senate passage of their
bill early next week.
The measure moved up to the
point of final approval late yester-
day, but plans for a three-day re-
cess over Memorial Day forced lead
ers to defer vote until Monday
or Tuesday.
The bill would extend Federal rent
controls eight months beyond June
80. A measure already approved
by the House extends controls only
six months, but authorizes the Presi-
dent to grant another three months
II he deems it necessary.
Two liberalizing amendments ap-
proved yesterday would:
l. Permit an increase of up to Is
per cent in rents in cases where
landlords and tenants voluntarily
negotiate boost. Rents in effect

as the base figure
Q. Require monthly decontrol of

Hawkes. Sponsors Boost.
The Is per cent proposal was Of
fered by Senator Hawkes., Republi-
can, of New Jersey, who said it was
simply permissive and many ten
ants would welcome the chance to
negotiate limited increased rentals
to run beyond the end of Federal
controls. Under the amendment.
such agreements could be entered
into up to December 81 and run
through 1948.
Senator Myers, Democrat, of
Pennsylvania called the amendment
"Windfall" for landlords and Sem
ator Barkley of Kentucky, the
minority leader, contended it would
benefit only tenants in the higher
income brackets.
A 48-to-26 ballot put through the
permlsslve rent increase. A voice
vote approved the idea of gradual
dropping of areas under rent con-
troll. Its author was Senator Nc
Carthy, Republican, of Wisconsin.
Eight Democrats-Byrd of vir-
ginia, Eastland of Mississippi, Hoey
of North Carolina, johnson of Colo

controls.
Other amendments approved by

l. Authorize public housing au-
thorities to evict tenants whose in

With that much at stake, the

Broadway high cagerS won two
thrillings victories during the

with it the championship of the
Union county North League.
Last Friday, the Taylor town
ship lads, regarded as the most
likely successor to Magnetic
Springs for the county champion
ship, to a SO to 80 victory from
Redwood, in the Broadway gym.
Wednesday night, Broadway won
from Bellepoint, of Delaware
county, 81 to AZ, in an overtime
game. This contest was played in
the Delaware Armory.
The MISUNDERSTANDING game
was a hum-dinger from start to
finish. Although the winners held
a slight-very slight = margin
most of the way, the outcome was
in doubt until the closing seconds
and the 800 fans who jam-pack-
ed every aisle, corner and cram
ny in the Broadway gym were in
an up-roar throughout.
Broadway was ahead, 8 to 5,
at the end of the first quarter, 18
to Is at half-time, and "a to %
at the end of the third period.
Throughout nip-and r'1ck fourth
period, the crowd was in 2. tren-
zied excitement as they realized
the contest could go either way.
Bud Westlake topped the scor-
ers with IA points for his Broad
way team, while Wall and Wiley
each had six markers for Rich
wood.
At Delaware, w e dneI. day,
Broadway led the first talf, fell
behind in the third period, raj
lied to tie the score in the final
stanza, and went on to win easily
in the overtime. The score was
10 to 8 in favor of Broadway at
the end of the first quarter, and
20 to II at half time. But in the
third canto, Bellpoint forced in
to 81 to 27 lead. In the final
quarter, Broadway tied the score
