Describes Island;
People OF Guam

Continued from Page One)
the islands Rotary club, in which
he participated as a member CT
the Butte Rotary club.
The people are cultured and
are of a high type. They speak
several languages and many are
graduates of U. S. schools in
the Philippines and China as well
as U. S. stateside schools. They
have a strong bank with deposits
of about 2 million. The speaker
told of n friend who has two
degrees, one in music and the
other in medicine. All are mu-
sically inclined, and in nearly
every hut in which people now
have to live since destruction of
their homes there is usually a
piano. Also they sing beautiful
ly.
The u. S. used 60 per cent
of the islands surface during the
war. At the end of the war,
material valued at SO billion was
stored there for the Knockout
thrust at Japan. The atomic
bomb and Japan's surrender
erased the necessity for using
the material, most of which was
subsequently lost. The speaker
was of the opinion that it was
better that way, the loss, than
the unacceptable expenditure of
many American lives in an inva-
sion.
At the peak there were 125,000
troops on the island.
The speaker closed by recon- !
mending that members of the
Laurel club write the Rotary club
of Guam and thus establish con-
tact with a group of pleasant
who were loyal to Amer
lea during the war and who Of
ten sacrificed means and life for
the American cause when the is
and was occupied by the Jap
anese.

The Greatest Knowledue

When Isaac Newton, famous
English scientist, lay on his
deathbed, he said to a friend,
II have learned two great facts,
one is that l am a great sinner,
the other, that Jesus Christ is
an even greater Savior"
He who has learned that, has
learned all that is really neces-
sary to know. He who has nor
learned that, has missed life's
greatest knowledge.
The most illustrious of
Christ's disciples confessed II
know that in me dwelleth no
good thing" Paul knew that no
matter how good he was, he was
still a sinner; and as such he
could not gain Gods favor.
But he also knew that through
Christ he had obtained COM
plete forgiveness. Christ had
died for his sins. Christ was his
Savior!
All the Libraries in the world
contain no greater knowledge.
Have you found this knowledge
- than which there is none
greater?

Boy, 4, Fights Fireman
To Turn in Second Alarm

DANBURY. CONN.-An uniden-
titled boy, who appeared to be no
more than four years old, had quite
a time here.
He turned in a fire alarm from
a box in the center of Danbury's
congested factory district, bring
ing three fire companies to the
scene.
After firemen arrived, he gave
the alarm box hook another yank
which brought out all of Danbury's
fire fighting apparatus together with
$50 fremen.
Fire Chief John A. Mcnamara
said the second alarm was equiva-
lent to a general alarm because of
the nature of the area.
He also explained that the boy
was able to reach the fire alarm
box because lit was a low hanging
one."
The boy turned in the second
alarm, the chief said, while he was
struggling in the arms Of a fireman
who saw him standing near the in
strument.
He slapped the fireman in the
face with one hand and turned in
the alarm with the other" the chief
said.
During the excitement Of appara-
tus arriving to answer the second
alarm, the chief said, the boy dis
appeared in the crowd.

Maple Leafs 10 Open
Defense Of Priced
Stanley Cup Tonight
by the Asseeiafsd Press

Toronto's scrappy Maple Leafs be-
gin defense Of their priced Stanley
Cup tonight as the semifinal round
of the National Hockey Leagues
Stanley Cup playoffs get under way.
The Leafs, who won the regular
season pennant, entertain the Bos-
ton Bruins in the opener of best
four-out-of-seven series, while the
runner-up Detroit Red Wings play
host to the New York Rangers in a
similar series.
Boosting a tight defense and a
good scoring punch, the Leafs are
favored to take the Bruins in camp,
but it shouldn't be walkover.
The Bruins, always good late
season f1nishers, usually are tough
in the playoffs and at the moment
they are pretty hot. The Bruins
have crack goal-tender in frankie
Brimsek and one of the best players
in the game in Milt Schmidt, cap
tain and center.
Toronto's attack revolves around
Centers Syl Apps, Max Bentley and
Ted Kennedy. Apps, captain of the
team, led the squad in scoring, with
So points. Bentley collected 48
after coming to Toronto from Chi
cago and Kennedy sniped 46.
The backline has pudgy Turk
Broda in the nets. Broda won the
Vezina Trophy during the season,
highest award for goaltenders. In
front of Broda are Jim Thomson,
Walt Stanowski, Bill Barilko, Garth
Boesch and Gus Morrison. Thomson
led all circuit defensemen in scor-
ing. He collected 20 assists but no
goals.
Meanwhile, the Red Wings rule
as heavy favorites to down the
Rangers. The close checking wings
have fine goalie in Harry Lumley,
two top rearguards in Jack Stewart
and Bill Quackenbush and the
loops top goal-getter in Ted Lind
say.
The Rangers, hampered by in
turies, are weak in the backline.
Regular Defensemen Neil Colville
and Frank Eddolls are doubtful
starters and rockies Jean Paul
Vamirande and Fred Shero and ex-
pected to share the job along with
Bill Moe and Bill Juzda.

Former Pro Aides Boosting SondIot Baseball
Kids Come Capital Finds Energetic Leaders in Amhor Sullivan
By Lewis r. Atchison

One Of Connie Mack's old bat
boys, vintage of IL, and a for
mer assistant master Of the ken
nels-hot dog, that is-at Grif-
fifth Stadium, are helping put
sandlot baseball back on the map
in the Washington area this
year.
Fred P. Amthor is the man
who toted lumber for Home
run" Baker, Eddie Collins, Rube
Walberg and others of that star
studded cast that ruled baseball
more than IS years ago. Tommy
Sullivan, a homegrown Wash
ington athlete, is the chap who
dispensed the late Uncle Billy
Smiths epicurean delights at
the ball park-mustard free.
Amthor is an organizer and a
joiner. The man has more but
tons than a pair of 1908 lady's
shoes, and is active in every
thing he belongs to-like this
baseball, for example. He got
mixed up in it last year while
casting about for an activity to
keep st. Francis Xavier Church's
Boy Scouts busy during the sum-
mer. He's their scoutmaster and
baseball seemed to be a logical
outlet for their pent up energy.
But independent games didn't
completely fill the bill, a league
was needed. So, Amthor called
the managers of several teams
together and proposed they Or
ganize one. He thought of the
Inter-City Junior League title
because the teams come from
Maryland and Virginia as well
as the District. It clicked from
the start and this year is ex-
panding operations.
1--WE got started late last sea-
son and only played % games,"
he told us, "but we're starting
early in May this time and will
play IS games. We're going to
hire regular association umpires
and we've appointed official
scorers. We're going f1rst-class
all the way this time"
The Inter-City Circuit turned
out some good young ball players
last year, including Pitcher Ralph
Fraser, son of the veteran Monk"
Fraser. Young Ralph, a star at
Anacostia High, pitched a no
hitter against the Maryland
Wildcats in his debut and in
chalking up an 8-4 victory over
Hume Springs whitfield Is batters
and allowed only six hits. Team
mate Johnny Snight held down
third well enough to attract the
attention of Pittsburgh scouts
while Centerfielder Johnny
Schurger was tabled as another
conner.
Other league standouts were
Tommy Darr and Billy OLeary,
a couple of southpaw first base
men. But both Amthor and
Sullivan claim you can pick out
a half dozen topf1ight performers
on almost any team in the league,
it's that good.
Sullivan is handling McQuinn's
Yankees, Virginia team spon-
sored by George McQuinn, New
York Yankee first sacker, and
Pierce Bragg. George and Pierce

shop and think it good business
