Panthers Real
Champions By
All Comparisons
BY MICKEY LAcEWELL

More proof that the Pascagou-
la Panthers are real champions is
contained in the scoring and de-
fensive record. No team scored
more than seven points against
the locals and five teams were
unable to cross the Pascagoula
goal line.
Every opposing team was beat
en- by at least seven points, and
only the Jackson Tigers and the
Laurel Tornadoes were able to
hold that margin among the elev-
en- teams played in the regular
schedule, Jackson was played,
early in the season before the
Panthers hit their stride and Lau-
rel in a binding rain storm.
Murphy of Mobile was the big
gest rout of the season with their
$40 shellacking and biggest up
set was the 40-6 blasting of the
highly-rated Greenville eleven.
The Partners scored a total of
800 points in their eleven games,
an even 30 points per try, and
their opponents scored an average
of less than three-and-a-half
points per game, leaving the Pan
theirs more than four touchdowns
better than the field.
All of the backfield scored dur
ing the season, as well as several
reserve backs, and the center, a
guard, both tackles, and both
ends. The record proves that the
Panthers are the outstanding
team produced in the state in sew
eral years.

Having resisted the temptation to exercise
through the years, Powell figures it would be un-
seemly to indulge in it now - at the age of SIS.
He is a thoughtful and intelligent man, but no
intellectual. He is staunch defender of Holly

merry goround for so long that they have adjust
ed themselves to its motion. They get dizzy only
when they step down on firm ground.
Hollywood, he argues, is like China. 'tNew
invading armies conquer the place, and the
natives swallow them up. Every few years we
have fresh invasion from the East. Stage d.
rectors Broadway actors, literary folk come out
here to take over They all turn Chinese"
Powell is unique in Hollywood. however, in his
indifference to fans. He is properly grateful to
them - and he avoids them as much as he can.
He never cuts up in public. reserving his clowning
for the privacy of his home In his rare public
appearances, he maintains himself with such reserve
that he was once mistaken for visiting royalty.

HE episode still gives him some amusement,
but was embarrassing to a fellow actor, Rex
Harrison This is what happened:
The Harrisons advertised their home for rent.
They received call from rental agent who
asserted his client wished to remain incognito, and
did not want the owners to be home when he called.
"Who will answer the door?" Harrison inquired.
1t was agreed that the maid might open the door,
but that she was to flee to her room at once.
At the appointed time, the visitor presented
himself gogged and muffled like the Invisible
Man. The maid could not resist peeking She saw
q majestic figure of a man, with a Hapsburg
nose. Accompanying him was a beautiful red
head. She jumped to conclusions. Carol OF Ru-
mania, of course, with Lupescu. She told friend,
who told the newspapers. 1t created headlines,
much to Harrisons embarrassment.
The mistake was not without justification. The
visitor was Bill Powell taking precautions to pre-
vent the rent from being lacked up-as it often
is for movie stars. With his chin muffled, Powell
does bear resemblance to Carol And he has the

Interest having been manifested in
having courses in drafting at the
Butte vocational school, Charles G.
Davis, co-ordinator of vocational
training, in the following letter has
advised that an organization meeting

There have been many requests for

tative plans are to held an organiza.
ton meeting on Thursday, November
s, at 700 PM. in the Cleveland
school A two-hour class once week
has been suggested.
The main subject matter requested
is machine drafting and sheet metal
layout. Clarence Thomas, a crafts
man of long standing with consider
able industrial drafting experience,
will be the instructor.
To maintain these classes, it is nee
essary to have an average attendance
of at least fifteen, and l sincerely
hope that enough tradesmen are in
terested to keep the class going.

the Cleveland school is the time and

Der, Maxim Litvinov, in a speech

POLAND TO ASK UNI BAN
ON BIOLOGICAL
warfare

Lake SucceSs.-The UN soon will be
asked by Poland to start negotiations
for prohibition of garm warfare.
The apparent U. S. monopoly in
atomic energy has played big role
in atomic negotiations. This country
has consistently lined up a donation
majority against the minority of Rus
STA and Poland. The fact that the
U. S. A. is sole owner of the bomb
and can dictate it's own terms has
been responsible in part for the ma
jority support.
With archaeological weapons it is
different.
'Everyone-I repeat everyone-has
meteorological weapons" one scien-
fist stationed at the UN remarked.
Il have seen some of them with my
own eyes-one, just bottle contain

nuclear scientists and its representa-
tive in the Atomic Commission, dis
closed he would propose a prompt
start on bacterial warfare negotia-
tions at the next meeting of the
Atomic Energy Commission, probably
in mid-October.
If there were any doubts in UN
circles that germ warfare is tremen-
1ous menace to humanity, many of
those doubts were removed here this

I'm FALLS
By BARBARA WARNER
MFU, Great Falls

Seventy-five delegates from worker
and farmer local unions in Cascade
County met in Great Falls October 20
and discussed plans for organizing
cooperative retail store and meat
market The meeting was arranged
under the sponsorship of the Great
Falls Smeltermen's Union Coop COM
mittee and ended with the election of
temporary officers and committee
members of joint educational COM
mittee for promoting the Coop idea
among more people in the city and
county.
D. w. Chapman, president of the
Montana Farmers Union, invited to
speak to the group on Farmers Union
experiences with co-operatives, re-
viewed early development and growth
of farm Co-ops and said they arose
from great need among agricultural
people for better marketing and sup
ply facilities. He said there was no
mystery about a Coop. A Coop is a
simple business institution that people
may have if they want it strongly
enough Mr.. Chapman stated that he
thought consumers Coop in Great
Falls would do much to bring farmers
and workers together on common
Mildred Stoltz, state education di-
rector of the Montana Farmers Union,
spoke on the need for adequate edu-
cation in maintaining a successful CO.
operative. The long history of fail
ures, tragedies and successes of the
Coop movement was outlined by Mrs.
Stoltz and she said the obstacles to
an effective cooperative are as real
today as they were one hundred years
ago when the first one was organized
in Rochdale, England She made a
strong appeal to the housewives to
in the Coop that was con-
templated because "they are the ones
who buy the groceries" eff women

supported by logical and I'M
pressive speeches by John
Brophy, delegate of the Indust-
rial Union Council and John
Clark, delegate of the Mine Mill &
Smelter Workers Union. While the
resolution itself, referred in general
terms to river developments by auth
critics patterned after the IVA, the
speeches supporting the resolution
gave credit to and endorsement of
Senator James e. Murray for his I'M
remitting work for the development
of the Missouri under such direction.
Among other resolutions showing
progressive forward thinking on the
part of the delegates to the conven-
ton were the following:
Reestablishing price controls: Call
ed for a special session of congress for
that purpose and to enact an adequate
tax program Ito recapture speculative
and excess profits.
Farmer-Labor unity: A pledge to
continue and expand its program of
working for closer unity with the rank
and file of farmers.

bark upon large-scale program of con
struciton of rental housing "to

ment of existing forms to meet new
conditions and to cover all occupa-
tons not protected now. Endorsed |
the national health insurance bill by
Sen. Murray and others now introduce
ed in congress.

which would be 'in the direction of a
tax grab by the rich. Demanded
greater exemptions for relief of the
lowest income tax groups; "$1, 500 for
an individual $4,000 for a married
couple and $500 for each dependent.
