Pros 10 Clash Monday
For Mid-AtIantic PGA
Title at Baltimore

The Middle Atlantic PGA cham
ptonship finally has found a home
for a day and will conclude the
pros golf season next Monday as
q $50O-added tournament at the
Five Farms course of Baltimore
Country Club.
Last year the Maryland, Virginia
and District PGA members opened
their season with a 5000 cham
plonship at Hampton Country Club
at Old Point Comfort, won by Lew
Worsham. But this year with Wor-
shaw, and Sam Snead no longer
members of this section, the tour
nament did not have the spectator
appeal and no bids were received.
The minimum prize money will be
$500. including $500 donated by
William Baskerville Of the Balti-
more News Post. First prize will
be 5000 and a gold medal and Sec
ond $l25. Eight prizes will be
awarded. Entries should be sent as
soon as possible to Walter Romans
at the host club.
The annual meeting will be held
after the tournament at the Bonnie
View Golf Club.
Federal Golf Associations windup
party was double success, with 73
turning out for the golf tourna-
ment at East Potomac and 125 for
the buffet dinner and presentation
OF prizes at the Village Inn. 1t was
a successful conclusion to the as
sociation's biggest season, but by far
from the biggest it hopes to have.
The Federal golfers still are dream
ing of their own golf course.
Prize winners in the final event
were Mrs. Ora Emge and Ken
Skaggs in the mixed Scotch four
somes, 83-11-72; D. T. Smith in
the sweepstakes with a gross 76,
and three net winners: Dan Musser,
78-6-72; Fred Wachtler, 84-1+70,
and c. A. Peesagamo, 89-19-70.

Prize Contribution
By Suson Erwin, II
Gnrdon luninr hiah School

My Sunday school story paper
carries q section headed "Pen
Points" I wrote to the editor, ask
ing for pen-pals. He published my
letter, and now I have 20 pen-pals
in IL of the States and in England.
It's simply wonderful to come
home from school and find one or
two letters. My correspondents and
I exchange snapshots and picture
postcards.
The big news Is school. Most of
the girls are II and in the seventh
grade, but three are in the eighth
grade. Two live In Chicago and one
in Larchmont, N. Y.
My most interesting pen-pal is
Mary Lyn Phillips, in England. She
Is proud of her three brothers. The
oldest is IL and very handsome, and
I regret that he lives so far away.
Their father, who was professional
singer, died a year ago, and her
mother is having difficult time
getting along. We are sending them
some food and clothing.
My hobby is one that every one
who likes to write would enjoy. I
hope some day to have pen-pals all
over the world.

Many Famous Ships
On Postage Stamp
Commemorative
Prize Contribution
By Owen Roynor, IS
Roosevelt HIah School

Among the most recent American
commemorative stamps is q 3-cent
issue honoring the U. s. S. Constitu-
ton, "Old Ironsides." This historic
vessel, of which Oliver Wendell
Holmes wrote so stirringly, is the
latest American ship to be shown
on a postage stamp.
The Bonhomme Richard, John
Paul Jones indestructible craft, ap-
pears on the Navy issue of 1896.
This set also includes the Lexington,
the Hartford and the Powhatan. all
depicted with. their commanders.
The Mayf1ower has earned a re-
spected place in the Pilgrim Ter
centenary series of 1880. This gal
liant little vessel is seen at sea, pic
tured on the 1-cent green.
Collectors doubtless know the Co
lumbar commemorative best, for
they are not only striking but rather
scarce. On several OF the stamps
Columbus three vessels are shown
plunging into the unknown. These
pictures are beautifully real, yet
drawn with that poetry which be-
longs to the world of graceful sail
ing ships and open seas.
Two other American stamps show
historic ships under sail. These are
the Maryland issue, showing the
Ark and the Dove bringing colonists
to America, and the Huguenot-
Walloon commemorative which illus
trates the landing of the Flemish
pioneers.
The other vessels pictured are
steam powered - the determined
little coal-box that was Fulton's
successful steamboat, and the Sa-
vannah, first to cross the Atlantic.
These stand for the new century in
which the marvel of swift travel re-
places the leisurely grace of the
white, billowing sail.

PAUL I,Inior kinh Schc


The time was drawing nearer;
I sat there full OF fear.
Soon he would be coming
To put me in the chair.
The clock was ticking slowly,
I thought that I would die.
And then saw him coming
From the corner of my eye.
He came in, and he told me
To go sit in the chair.
While the hair on my head
Seemed to rise up in the air;
He said if I'd come sooner,
It would have saved a lot of tint
And then he started drilling
On that little tooth of mine.
