Pioneer Anniversary
 Banquet Great Success

Wednesday evening over ninety guests were served at the Pioneer Hall at a party honoring the anni- versary of the Pioneers of Alaska which was organized in 1907. A turkey dinner, excellently pre- pared by Geo Gemalis, was served followed by a program with ChaS. ID. Jones as toastmaster.
 The guests were welcomed by the president Fred Rohn after a prayer was given by the chaplain of the Women's Auxiliary, Mrs. Fred J. Rohn.
 Speaking for the women's group, Mrs. M. J. Walsh, grand trustee, recalled many of the fea- lures and memories of the early days, way back to 1898 when she first came to Nome She told of the wildness of the early tent days and the limited social activities and how sincerity, honesty and courage" portrayed those who founded the organization of Pion- eers.
 Antonio Polet, past grand presi- F dent of the Pioneers gave a brief history of the organization which has grown from it's start in Nome in 1907 to 26 Igloos throughout the Territory, all founded on the same spirit of friendliness and com radeship. He called to mind the hopes of plans of the future where by the organization can become perpetual to carry on the fine tra- ditions of the founders, builders and backbone of the Territory.
 M. J. Walsh was called upon, who recalled how he landed in Nome from the Kougarok the day the Pioneers were parading down Front Street, forming their organ iZation, and he stated that he would not be far off in saying they came from every country on the earth.
 Between the addresses of the evening lively entertainmnt was given by the younger pioneers.
 Mary Jeanne Boucher recited "Alaska's Flag" which was writ ten by Marie Drake.
 Jane Scott and Mary Margaret Roell put on a clever and original song and dance skit, depicting the early days. They were accompan- jed by Helen Nordlind.
 Kitty Bornstad, accompanied by Marilyn Dowd on the accordion beautifully sang "Home on the Range"
 Carrie McLain delighted the group with a medley of songs of 1900 which brought up many memories of a past era and re- minded many of the oldsters of the good old days"

pro circles, the Bulldogs are
making their in itial visit
here.
The Union team, with a score
less tie with the Rossford Mer-
chants, and a To loss to the Syl-
vania Merchants on the 1948
record, is out to snatch its first
victory. From the looks of re-
cent practices the squad looks
as though it has finally reached
the point wanted by Coaches
Bing Crosby and Vic Irvine.
With a rip-roaring Dick (Por-
ky) Jennings leading the often
sive threats, the club is greatly
improved over its first two tits.
The passing attack will be in the
hands of little Bobby Sarchiz, an
All-City selection last year from
the championship Libbey High
School team.
Outstanding linemen are a
dime dozen with such stand
outs as Ray Feldt, former Cen
trail Catholic, Dayton University
and Notre Dame luminary, Bob
Reagan, Libbey High and Tole-
do University star, Ken Feneske,
All-City guard from Libbey,
Walt Gunlite, veteran Local IL
performer, and John Rizzo, on
the roster.

A. A. U. Boxing

The first exhibition boxing
show under the sponsorship OF
the Northwestern Ohio A. A. U.
Commission will be held Mon
day, November %, 1948, instead
of November /, as previously
announced, at the Civic Auditor
ium.
This show and the one week
later, on November 20, is being
planned primarily for the pur-
pose of giving inexperienced
boys a chance to appear on a
fight card prior to the Amateur
Tournament schedule which
starts December 10, with the
City Novice Championships.
ALI member clubs that have
boys in training at the present
time are urged to submit names
of boys that they would like to
have appear on either the No
vember % or November %
dates, so that matches can be
made and publicity given out
far enough ahead of the show
to assure a sizable crowd. All
moneys derived from these bene-
fit shows will be split with the
member clubs, in proportion to
the number of boys they have
on the card.

night for more than an hour be-
fore game time.
When the Baldwin-Wallace

cation of B-W's strength may be
noted by the score of their

of Cleveland. Carroll topped
Toledo, 1920, and B-W played
the Clevelanders to a 1919 tie.
The Rockets have met B-W

A CASE FOR THE D.E.A.

The writer desires to discuss
briefly the issues and develop
ments in the new teachers union
and particularly to defend with
facts the record of the D. E. A
and it's affiliates.
l think any teacher has a right
to join any lawful organization
without being insulted or smear
ed. Likewise, any teacher has the
right to refrain from joining any
new, and defending his old organ
ization, with the same immunities
Frankly, l fail to- see the wisdom
of joining the AFT, but let no
teacher be insulted who does. No
constructive, convincing platform
has been offered, from the best in
formation I have to base an opin-
ion on. In Mr. Osborne's letter,
power, freedom for teachers and
the smearing of some of his fell
lows are evident planlls. The
main theme of Mr.. Kuenzli's let
ter is that Dickinson teachers
have no organization and that
they are uprofessional if they do
do not organize to fight their ap-
parent lifelong enemy, school
administration. Since it is mutual
ly agreed that Dickinson school
administrators and the board OF
supervisors have done about all
for us they can legally do, fin
ancially or otherwise, it seems to
me that Mr.. Kuenzli's circular is
inapplicable to our case. He is
obviously not acquainted with
the existing facts in our prog
ram.
The old setup of county-city-
state-national organization has an
accepted professional program
This setup has been originated
and geared to press the interests of
education and teachers generally.
We should be proud Of its work
and none of the progress has
been made by the rule of force
but rather by the rule of reason
and merit. All students of educa-
ton must admit that the total
cause for education has improv-
ed, including teacher interests.
Through the efforts of DEA mem
bers, school officials included,
we have steadily broadeneh and
deepened our program thorugh
the confidence and sympathetic
support of our public. Legislative
bodies have appropriated money
to increase teachers salaries
while they have let other phases
