A perplexing question in most
teen-age minds always is, What's s
my future? ?" A film was shown
to the student body last Monday
which helped answer that ques-
ton. How not to tackle a job
was the lesson taught in the story
of an eX-football hero who tried
to sell real estate on his "pigskin
propelling' fame. The way in
which the moral was put across
was thoroughly entertaining and
painless. All this and Robert
Sterling, too!
LHSers flocked to the school
polls last Tuesday to cast their
votes on sample ballots. The
pint-sized citizens had Lausche
and Taft in office by two-thirty
that afternoon, but it took the
older generations official ballots
to make the results legal. We
want to thank the government
classes for making these sample
elections" possible. 1t certainly
will relieve a lot of brainstrain
when we students reach that ripe
old age of twenty-one!

London Red Raiders wound up
the 1850 football season Friday
night with a hard-to-take 27-20
loss handed them by their Mid
Six Rivals, Worthington.
London finished tnird in the
MidS Six marathon with a league
record Of two wins, two loses.
and one tie. All in all, the Raid
ers had a good season, winning
seven, losing two, and tying one.
Just to freshen your memory
here's the complete Raider recore
for 1850. The Raiders defeated
the Alumni 9-7, w. Jefferson So
0, Urbana 1870, billiards 39-7,
Grove City 26-6, Washington c. fl.
20-12, and Delaware 21-14. They
lost to Marysville 0-24 and
Worthington 20-27. They tied the
league winnnre Westerville TT.
London began the scoring Fri
day night with a sustained drive
from the kickoff on their own
AZ to the Cardinal 10. From there
Dwight Simpson ran around left
end for a Raider TD, and then
a LeBeau-Bopeley aerial racked
up the seventh point.
After quick exchang of punts,
the Cards started rolling or the
London 38 Quarterback Doug
Diercks plunged over from the
one, John Campbells placement
was good and the game was tied
TT Early in the second quarter
Worthing recovered a London
tumble on their own IA and
started on their second scoring
drive This time fullback Jim Tar
button carried the mail and
crashed through the line from
the three. Again John Campbelfs
placement was good, and Worth
ington was ahead AT.
The Raiders took CampbelFs
punt from their own 38 and
pounded their way up to the
Cards Is. Here Bob LeBeau pass
ed to Bill Hunter behind the goal
line for the Raiders second I'd
John Duffey bucked center for
the extra point, and the score was
tied again.
This stalemate was broken
three plays later when RoEnie
Jarrett broke through the Raider
line on his own AZ and ran 50
yards for a touchdown! Camp
bells placement was good and ,~e
half ended, the Raiders trailing
14-21.
Neither team scored in the
third quarter, but in the last min
ute of this period, London began
a scoring drive that climaXed the
second play of the fourth quarter
when Bob LeBeau drilled one to
Tom Bopeley who ran twenty-five
yards for a Raider touchdown.
Bob LeBeau crashed across on
a quarterback sneak only to fun
Bile, and the Cardinals stayed
ahead 21-20. Worthingtons final
tally came in the last four min
utes of play when Diercks bucked
through center to raise the Cards

Al~-ougn plants tdat shed their
leaves can usu&ily stand dry soil
without serious damage, ever
green's, especially broad-Ieafed
ones, will need water. So if gard
eners or farmers have any such
evergreens as lockwood, holly
evergreen barberry or Oregon
holly grape, they should soak the
soil around such plants every few
weeks in November and December
if the ground is not frozen.
Ries advises to apply enough
water to soak the ground to a
depth of at least foot. Even
more water can be applied around
larger, deeper rooted plants.
Fall-planted evergreens such as
yews, jumpers, pines, hemlocks
and spruces should be kept soak
ed so they will not dry out and
die. Ries points out that wind
will make it more difficult TO kcer
plants alive if soil is dry

$4,000 Mail Gifts
Puzzle Churches
BY the Associated Press

JACKSON, Tenn, Dec. 81
The Christmas rush at Jackson S
postoffice apparently preserved
the identity of a mysterious don
or here who mailed more than
100000 to four church groups.
II cannot understand why the
packages were not caught and
examined at the time of mailing, "
Postmaster Roy Gilbert said today.
He said the only explanation
he could give was that the par
GELS, mailed during the Christ
mas rush, were handled by extra
help on duty at the time and
were not thoroughly checked to
make sure they carried a return
address.
At Richmond, Va. today, the
Foreign Mission Board of the
Southern Baptist Convention said
it received 5000 in $40 bills in
paper-wrapped box with a Jack
son postmark.
A package from Jackson reached
the Baptist State Board of Mis-
sions at Louisville, KY, yesterday
containing $3.50 and a note on
the envelope reading "for the CO.
operative program"
An unregistered box wrapped
in brown paper and containing
5000 was received by the Home
Mission Board in Atlanta Thurs
day. The money was in eight
envelopes.
Earlier, the Rev. L. c. Kelly,
head of the Clear Greek Mountain
Preachers School near Pineville
KY, reported he had received a
gift of 1880 from Jackson.

Germ War Convictions
Hailed as Warning 10
'ImperiaIists' by Reds
By the Assoeioied Press

MOSCOW, Dec. 31.-The So
Wet press and the prosecution
said today that Russia's germ
war trial was a warning to i'm
perialists" to stay clear Of the
horrors of meteorological and
atomic warfare.
The Soviet military court at
Khabarovsk, by sentencing IL
former Japanese Army officers on
charges of experimenting with
germs, struck a blow at Anglo
American imperialists," Izvestia
said.
The government newspaper
gave more than four full pages
to the trial in Siberia, which con-
cluded with 25-year sentences for
four former generals. including
the former commander of the
army in Manchuria. and SEN
tences of from 2 to 20 years for
eight other officers.
formidable Warming"
Prosecutor L. N. Smirnov, in
summing up the six-day trial,
told the court its verdict Should
sound a formidable warning to
the instigators of a new world
war"
These instigators, he added, are
'"just as merciless and cruel hat
ers Of humanity as those upon
whose crimes you will pass judg-
ment."
He declared three learned
japanese psychologists, Shiro
Ishii, Kitano and Wakamatsu," !"
who should be in the defendants
dock were sheltering in Tokyo
under the wing of those reac-
tionary forces of the imperialist
camp which themselves dream of
the time when they will be able
to hurl atom bombs and lethal
bacteria against humanity"
The Soviet indictment charged
that 1t. Gen. Ishii and Maj. Gen.
Wakamatsu commanded Units
731 and 100 of the Kwantung
Army in Manchuria which were
especially entrusted with devel-
oping and experimenting with
ways of producing germs and car
riers for the waging of bacterio-
logical warfare from 1885 to 1945.
Russian troops captured the IL
defendants in 1945, near the end
of the war.
imperialism Hit.
Izvestia. in its main editorial,
said the trial had made it more
difficult for "aggressors to hide
their beastly countenance in
floods Of hypocritical declarations
on the rights of man and 'hu-
manity.'"
1T mobilizes the democratic
forces Of the entire world for in
creased struggle against war
mongers." the paper added.
1t said American officials in
Tokyo had attempted to defend
the II japanese on trial by say
ing there was no evidence there
supporting Soviet charges of Jap
anese experiments with bacterio-
logical warfare.
American "imperialists" were
declared to sEbe 9busilya turning
Western Germany and Japan into
nurseries OF fascism and re-
vengefulness. ssszs
Smirnov. in his summation, said
the prosecution had proved that
the Kwantung germ war units
conducted Satanic experiments
on living people" and bred billions
OF bacteria to spread disease and
death among Japan's enemies.
Germans Also Accused.
Smirnov said the Russians had
found that the Germans also ex-
perimented with bubonic plague
