visiting team rallied to raise their
score by eight points giving them
score of eleven and leaving

The second half of the game
marked a struggle between two
evenly matched teams, both deter
mined to win. The end of the third
quarter found Damascus with a
score of Is and Brunswick leading
by one point. The fourth and final
quarter was hard fought and tight

New ACTIVITY PROGRAM


Beginning the second semester
Damascus High School has a new
activity program. Each student

ing to the offered activities. Some
of the activities and clubs includ-
ed are the Press Club, Glee Club,
Dramatic Club, Student Council,
Future Homemakers Club, Safety

The present schedule is tentative
one, but it is the consensus of
opinion that it is working very
well.
DRIVING COURSE
A driver training course has
been added to the curriculum of
D. H. S.
Inaugurated last week by Harry

already created much interest and
enthusiasm among the SO pupils
who have enrolled. The class will
meet twice weekly for instruction
based on set of manuals fur
nished by the A. A. A. Mrs. Sew
ard, representing the above or

NEWS REVIEW
MOSCOW MEETING:
Little ACCOMPLISHED

After seven weeks Of wrangling,
the foreign ministers conference at
Moscow ended in a state banquet.
Results of the parley were ex-
tremely disappointing, even to
those whose expectations had been
small. 1t had been hoped that a
treaty for Austria would be worked
out, but even preliminary agree
ments could not be reached. The
more important matter of the Ger
man treaty suffered the same fate,
as expected.
Secretary Of State Marshall blunt
ly blamed the Russians for OBJ
structing the negotiations. He
charged that the Soviet delegation
had "widened rather than narrowed
our differences.
Principal points of controversy
were the definition of German and
Austrian assets which the Russians
want as reparations and the disar-
mament and demilitarization plan,
known as the flour nation treaty"
Almost the only proposition ac-
cepted was one, introduced by Rus
sian Foreign Minister Molotov, that
all German prisoners Of war in
Allied hands be returned to Ger
many by December 81, 1948.
Failure to complete the Austrian
treaty means that occupation troops

WARNS OF SURPRISES

WASHINGTON. - Expanded con-

are the major points of a strong
farm program recommended by
Edward A. O'Neal, president of
American Farm Bureau federation,
in testifying before the house agri-
culture committee.
1T would be folly to assume that
we will not have burdensome sur
pluses of farm produce again that
may wreck farm prices" O'Neal
warned.

principles, the farm leader declared
that agriculture more than ever
needs an expanded volume Of for

NO RENT BOOST:
House Kills 1919 Plan

The house banking committee, re-
versing it's previous stand, voted
down a proposal for a 10 per cent
blanket increase in rents. It ap-
proved and sent on for action bill
continuing controls until December
81. The senate banking committee
already has voted unanimously
against any raise, and the senate's
bill would continue control until
March /, 1948.
The vote in the house committee
was IA to 10. AS outlined by Rep
resentative Wolcott, chairman. the
house bill provides:
Continuance of rent control just
about as it is now until December
81, with the President having author
ity by proclamation to keep ceilings
in effect until next March 1 If he
deems it necessary.
A new provision whereby tenants
and landlords may voluntarily enter

increases in rent. provided these
leases do not expire before Decem-

tables grcan with seven-sweet-and-

as you'll find though you wonder
the world between hors d'oeuvres
and baked alaskas from pole to pole
and back again.
York is a busy place, a place Of
bustling industries whose products
are known from coast to coast. 1t
is also a town which can lift its eyes
from the plowshare and the forge to
think. simply and soundly, about
caring for its own. It's town Of

1T is this approach which leads

built 613 new houses-100 per cent
more houses than were ever built
in any previous year of the city S
history. In addition, Yorkites add
ed 481 new dwelling units by con-
verting old houses into apartments.
Of course, this didn't just hap
pen. 1t was made to happen by
a great many local people deter
mined. that YOrk's veterans
would have a place to live.
The big drive got under way last
year when survey showed that one
out of every three York veterans
was living doubled up with friends
or relatives in dilapidated old
buildings in need of major repairs,
or in trailers without standard
plumbing facilities. That's the way it
was in York year ago when Mayor
John L. Snyder appointed an 49,
member emergency housing COM
mittee,
The committees decision was that
York should be able to provide
1000 new units in 1916; another
1900 this year. They called meet
ing of every cne concerned with hous-
ing; asked each builder to stand up
and tell the group how many Of
the needed houses he would build in
1946-until the pledges met the
quota.
Shortages of materials were se-
rious threat to this undertaking, but
York builders had accepted their
quotas and were determined to build
houses. When they couldn't find the
scarce materials near home, they
went to Buffalo. to Ohio. to Hagers-
town. Md.
\ Members of the housing commit
tee pitched in with enthusiasm. One
of them came back from a Sunday
drive with two kegs of nails in his
car-bought on the spot when he dis
covered a little country hardware
store that had some. Someone else
found millwork concern in a near
by town which had some door frames
for sale.
To keep prices down, local
builders voluntarily cut profits.
One went so far as to take a prof.
1t of only $50 per house ON a
large group of veterans houses.
Because converting to apartments
is quicker and takes less materials,
York also undertook a. campaign
in this direction, aided by the Cham
Der of Commerce, the local housing
expediter, banks, press and radio.
In 1946-a year when shortages
brought building programs in many
communities to a dead stop-York
built twice as many houses as had
been produced there in any previous
year. York's goal for 1947 is 1900
new living units. The folk in York
aren't promising anything they
aren't talking about what they're 60
ing to do. But in the first four
months of the year-with the build
ing season just getting under way
they've fled over 1.100 applications
to build houses.

WHEAT AGREEMENT:
British Won't Sign

There will be no worldwide
agreement Of wheat producing
countries on prices and marketing
procedures in the near future. This
seems certain as the international
Wheat conference in London has
broken up on British refusal to sign
the proposed plan. Negotiations have
been in progress for many weeks in
an attempt to formulate a five-year
price and marketing schedule.
Sir Herbert Broadley, British del
egate, explained his reason for re-
jecting the draft was that the price
scheme in it would not enable the
price of wheat to fall quickly
enough to a reasonable level. 1.-THE
United Kingdom cannot afford to
pay excessive prices for its i'm
ports" he said. THE world must
face much lower prices for wheat
than those ruling at present, but we
want to see those prices achieved
in manner which protects the pro-
ducer against hardship and enables
necessary switches to be made
without disaster"
Delegates from Canada, Australia
and India followed the British lead.
Leslie Wheeler, U. S. delegate,
urged immediate acceptance Of the
draft. BraziPs delegate seconded
him. This move was rejected.
Wheeler then asked that the pro-
posal be sent to the international
wheat council, which will be held In
Washington, and that countries not
now adhering be invited to join. The
conference accepted this request.
