TOUGH TITANIUM

The metal is titanium. In OK

it commercially in pure metal

But, because it's light and
extra tough, military men
think it's a natural for the jet

Fritz Ridenour, Sophomore
Ace, Scores $40 Points,;
Elect Tim Thomas Captain
BY Dan Loblaw

Zion-Benton's ZeeBees, dismally
off on their shooting game and lack
ing the reaching power and expert
ence to cope with the high-scoring,
rangy New Trier Terriers in the
State Regional meet at Waukegan
last week, wound up their 1947-48
campaign on the short end of 1924
defeat.
1t was a sad ending to a season that
had been far better than the MAORI
ty of local fans had had any reason
to hope for. These youngsters, all of
them devoid of sufficient experience
to warrant the varsity berths willed
to them by that veteran, high scor-
ing quintet of 1946-47, rounded into
shape amazingly under the astute
guidance of Coach Fred Stanton and
before the season was half over We1e
providing local fans with fast brand
of basketball. AS it was they finish
ed the campaign with a record of Is
victories against 10 defeats, the third
best record ever compiled by any
Zion-Benton basketball squad.
Win Holiday Tourney
Of their 10 defeats, only three were
lost by decisive score, and four of
their defeats could just as easily been
recorded as victories. Defeats suffer-
ed at the hands of Crete, Cudahy,
Harlem and St. Edwards were heart
breaking and St. Edwards was later
made to pay on their home court, 81
33. The season was highlighted by a
championship decision over Grants
Bull Dogs in the Zion-Benton holi-
day tourney and one-point decision
over Palatine's Pirates. The current
ZeeBees averaged better than Sc
points game in compiling 865 points,
record second only to last years
record smashing total of 1148 points.
Leading performer on the current
squad was Fritz Ridenour, big sopho-
more pivot ace, who averaged better
than IA points a game and rolled up
a total of $40 points to establish him
self among the top pointsmen in Zion
Benton history. Rangy Sydney Chris
tophersen finished second with total
of 1877 points and might have finish
ed with a much higher total with
little luck. sgd is only a junior and
promises to be star on the 1948-49
squad. LaVerne Edwards, senior for
ward, finished third with 1O8 points.
Other members of the current squad
were Co-Captain Wendy Studebaker,
Jimmy Thomas and Freshman Phil
LaPello.. Studebaker will graduate
this spring.
At the close of the campaign Coach
Stanton awarded major monograms
to the above-named players as we'll
as Jim Previtti, Jim Kinsman and
Herb Merville of the reserves. These
players elected Tim Thomas as Zee-
Bee captain for 1948-49.

I acquire, the more I yearn for the
old and simpler days of way back
when.
For instance I remember when
everybody bought a new winter
hat in September and wore it for
best" until May, when everyone
bought summer hat and wore it
until September. The hats from
the year before, thereupon be-
came second best" and the only
complication, a relatively unim-
portant one, was the decision one
had to make as to the Importance
of the occasion. Whether it was
winter or summer was in our
country not hard to work out,
since the seasons announced them
selves unmistakeably.
But it seems to me of late that
the problem of hats has become a
very complicated one. A hat can't
be just hat anymore, even if it
is a pretty one. First of all, it
must harmonic with another
complication, accessories" Then
it must be either a tailored hat, or
a dressy hat or it can even be,
heaven help us, a cocktail hat or a
casual hat or an evening hat or a
beanie. Every hat in a shop win
dow therefore, has its own in
dividuality, has life of its own,
a personality to which 1, the pro-
spective buyer of a hat, must bow.
And finally, as if / weren't al
ready exhausted at the very idea
of acquiring a new hat, find that
while it is still January, "a win
ter month even in Tucson) my
winter hat even at the moment of
purchase, is already last years
model, because it now seems for
some inexplicable reason that it
is time for SPRING hats. At least
that is what I gather from reading
the ads in the classier journals. It
is all decidedly confusing and it is
small wonder I'm beginning to
yearn a bit for the good old days.

AS we grow older, most of us

thing more serious than middle
age, but one l had hoped some
how to avoid, since it does seem
little on the reactionary side.
This tendency I think, is seen
more obviously in men than in
w m e n, generally appearing
shortly after the honeymoon. AT
this period, coinciding with the
early culinary struggles of the
bride, the man of the house be-
gins to get a wistful look in his
eye and oh brother-this is the
point at which the little woman,
if she is a smart gal, should take a
very firm stand if she doesn't t
want to spend the rest of her life
listening to that familiar old re-
frain "the way my mother used
to do it,"
On the whole should say wom-
en- talk about the good old days
less wistfully but with more de-
finite intent. You know the kind
of thing 81 never thought I'd
live to see the day I'd have to

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
(The writer is the son of Mr.
and Mrs. Harry Strauss, East Elm
Street.)
Arizona Post
Tucson, Arizona
l don't know whether this letter
is worthy of newsprint or not;
that is up to you. But perhaps
there might be few people in
Tucson who remember me in con-
nection with local Zionist acti-
vities in which l have participated
and who might be interested to
know what am doing at the pre-
sent time.
For the past two and a half
months I have been living and
working and training at "Hecha-
lutz Pioneer Training Farm" in
Cream Ridge New Jersey. This
farm is owned and operated by
the Hechalutz Organization of
America, whose aim it is to train
and preplre young Jews to be
"Chalutizim" "--pioneers in Pales-
tine.
Already our organization has
over 500 of its members settled in
the cities and agricultural COM
munities of Palestine, with ap-
proximately another 1900 here
and in Canada now in training,
preparing for their future life in
Eretz Israel. We have two farms
located in New Jersey, one in New
York state, and two in Canada, in
which all our members received
one years agricultural training
prior to their departure from Am
erica.
The farm here in Cream Ridge
consists of 144 acres. The four
main branches in which we take
our training are those of field,
crops, vegetable crops, dairy and
poultry. All people here have an
opportunity to spend at least 3
months working in the branch
of their choice, and some put in
as much as a years time in their
particular field.
This past season 80 acres of field
crops were grown, including hay,
corn and wheat; and II acres of
vegetabl crops, consisting of to-
matoes, Strawberries, string beans,
peppers and egg-plants were cul-
tivated. Our dairy barn (Which
we built ourselves last year, now
houses herd of 20 cows, and we
have a flock of $500 laying chic
kens in our three large chicken
houses.
The farm in its operation is
modelled as closely as possible
after the communal agricultural
settlements (kibbutzim) in Pales-
tine. All the work, whether it be
constructing a barn, digging a
ditch, or milking a cow, is done by
the people here themselves. There
is no hired help; neither are there
any 'foremen" or supervisors.
The highest governing body is
made up of the group as whole;
every person who has been here
longer than 2 months has the right
to vote. Once week there is a
meeting of the entire group in
which matters relating to the
work program, personnel, and
all other phases of life are dis
cussed and voted upon.
The three main goals for which
we strive here are: to learn how
to work well at any job we do,
whether it be simple or skilled,
physically easy or tireing; to learn
how to live we'll with other people
