TRAVEL AT NO EXPENSE

Memphis, ~Tenn.-AP-If you're
enterprising, it's possible to take
your wife on a year-long trip TO
the tropics at no expense.
Catching their breath here be-
fore heading southwark again,
Mr.. and Mrs. j. E. Mcbride, OF
Los Angeles, told how they did
it.
In a small boat they travelled
down the California coast. The
boat was sold in Mexico for "a
big price" With that stake they
went prospecting.
The gravel deposits of British
Guiana paid off with about SO
ounces of gold and $50 carrats OF
diamonds, Mcbride said. That bal
anced the books.

the Calvary Baptist church.
The choir of the church was as
sisted by singers from other
churches in Pascagoula and
in the county and from other
cities.
Among these was Mrs. Charles
Mitchell of Moss Point who sang
the soprano solos, Roland Boyd
of the Baptist Seminary at New
Orleans sang the bass, and Fred
Jones of Mississippi Southern
college at Hattiesburg, a tenor,
also rendered solo parts as did
Warren Lowry of Pascagoula who
sang beautifully the tenor recita-
ton of Thy Rebuke Hath Brok-
en- His Heart" and the following
air. Mrs. J. d. Clolinger also Of
Pascagoula sang the c~ontralto
parts.
During the first part, Mrs. Hig-
ginbotham at the organ played
the Pastoral Symphony from the
o~ratorio.
At the conclusion of the first
part DIR. L. E. Green, pastor
of the church, introduced Luther
Harrison of Jackson, director of
music for Baptist churches of the
state, who was in the choir and
who highly complimented the
First church for sponsoring such
high class undertaking saying
that so far as he knew, the choir
was the only one singing "The
Messiah" in its entirety in the
state.
A free-will offering to help de-
fray the expenses of the p%resenta-
ton was taken up.
The benediction was pronounc-
ed by DR.. Green.
The choir was under the baton
of c. R. Hare, director of music
at the church who is to be high
ly complimented on the excellent
training and artistry displayed
by the singers.
An impressive part of the or
itorio was the rising to its feet
of the audience during the sing
ing of the Hallelujah chorus thus
carrying out the custom began by
King George III since Handel first
presented it in England, centuries
ago. -sS

Stor Sfoff CORRESPONDENT

LOS ANGLES, Aug. 30.-Ki Al
drich went back on the Redskins
active player list today and there
were indications that Wilbur Moore
soon would rejoin the laboring class
as Coach Turk Edwards moved to
correct faults and buttress weak
nesses that cropped up in last Fri
days intra-squad game at Santa
Ana.
Aldrich, who, like Moore, was pro-
NOTED to assistant coach at the end
of last season, has been snortin'
and stampin' to get back into action
and while the old T. G. U. star has
slowed down some, his experience
will be invaluable to the team. Both
XII and Moore are needed primarily
on defense-Aldrich to back up the
line and Wilbur to protect against
enemy aerial strikes, bound to come
in Friday nights game with the
Rams at Los Angeles Coliseum.
Veterans on the squad predicted
Aldrich wouldn't be kept on the
bench long and now they're saying
Moore will suit up before the team
reaches Chicago. Aldrich, however,
launched his campaign to get back
in uniform almost the first day in
camp and was aided by the loss of
Clyde Ehrhardt, whose decision to
quit the game was a serious blow
Moore may have more trouble crack
ing the lineup once the backs get
Strengthened out, but the number
of passes completed in the Santa
Ana game means the pass defense
needs jacking up.
Edwards pointed to loose pass de-
fenSes on the parts of both teams as
a reason for the ground games in
effectiveness. He thought the teams
more or less concentrated on stop
ping running plays and in tighten
ing up this phase of work left them
selves open for the passes of Sam
Baugh, Jim Youel and Tom Mont.
Certain rockies are slated to go but
Edwards today was mulling over the
list, weighing the merits of all as a
precaution against losing prospec-
tive star. Guard Ernie Alther and
Tackle Cliff White are certain to
get the AK Alther seems too light
to stand up under the punishment
he would be subjected to. and
chances were blighted by
knee injury he received in scrim-
mage last week.
The only other switch in per-
sonnel was the transfer of Fred
Boensch from right to left tackle,

guard to right tackle. Harris origi-
nally came up as a tackle but was

Lehner with the run that gave the

The winners get $100 and up in

up, just like they do it at Saratoga

New England Horses
Barred from Three
Maryland Tracks
BY the Associated Press

BALTIMORE. Aug. 30.-Stabling
and racing privileges at three Mary
land tracks were denied today to
horses which have been stabbed or
raced in Massachusetts,, Rhode Is
land or New Hampshire. -,
Henry A. Parr, III, president Of
the Maryland Jockey Club and the
Laurel racing plant, announced an
order to that effect as racing in
terests along the Eastern seaboard
received reports of an outbreak of
swamp fever among thorough
breds in New England.
Parr said horses from that section
would not be allowed to stable or
race at Timonium and would not
be permitted to stable at Laurel or
Pimlico.
The club directors said the de-.
cision was reached after lengthy
conferences with DR.. Arthur L.
Brueckner, director of the Maryland
Stuart S. Janney. Jr.. chairman of
the Maryland Racing Commission.
First to feel the effect of the
order were several entries from
Bowie and Marlboro for Timoniums
opening day program next Monday.
Parr said these were turned down
pending an investigation by Brueck-
ner of horses stabbed at those tracks.
Among the earliest to undergo
quarantine in Maryland were five
horses owned by C. E. Grimm OF
Baltimore. The four thoroughbreds
and one stable pony arrived at Pim-
lico from New England August 81.
At least 30 horses were placed
under observation for swamp fever"
symptoms at Saratoga last Thurs
day.
DR.. J. G. Catlett, examining vet
erinarian for New York tracks, said
at the time, "our action is strictly
precautionary"
The means by which the disease
is communicated had not been de-
termined, he added.
