cleus for starting an entirely new
organization"
"This is the logical year for chill
dren to begin on band instruments as
the new group will be started immedi-
ately. Every child joining during the
first month will have an opportunity
of winning a regular chair in the new
band"

A Call to Reason
by L. c. Derricks


we come to a point where we
must look backwards and check
upon ourselves. At that specific
period we pause to remember
with exactness the achievements
we have accomplished, little or
great to the betterment of self or
for the good Of others, or on the
other hand the setbacks which
have retarded our progress. It is
a fact that we measure our
achievements by the yardstick Of
altruism forgetting self and doing
the good to our fellowman.
If we get right down to BUSH
ness and see ourselves as others
really see us we would no longer
try to deceive our fellowman at
any time as such acts of deception
can boomerang and strike usfisht
in the face.
1t must be recalled that during
the last political campaign two
men were boosted to the voters as
being all the material for good le-
gislators. their prai~es were sung,
the voters responded and the men
were sent to Council by a over
whelming majority. One Of the
candidates was a dark horse, the
other had failed in many starts.
To the surprise of a majority Of
voters we see today that the two
men who lauded the present coun
cilrnen for Christiansted Town are
battling them with full force and
letting us know now that the men
they begged voters to send to
Council are everything but good
Councilmen. What was the main
reason for thrusting upon the peo-
bic men whom they felt were not
the best to serve the interest OF
the greatest number? 1t is obvious
that the plan backfired, and today
swords are crossed and the din IS
being heard for miles. Were the
men sent out as feelers much to
their surprise? If we read between
the lines we can note what is hap
pening now and what is going to
happen if we do not put an end to
such acts.
It is sincerely hoped that in our
rareh of progress we stop the
practice of keeping to ourselves
knowledge that would benefit our
community, and to spring them
upon the voters as election time
comes around in order to win
votes over the opponent. This is
a very serious time and no credit
can be given any man who sees
his people going along the road to
perdition and remain silent just
waiting until election is around
the corner to release the facts. If
such acts are political know-hows
the voters verdict on November
z will be the beginning of the end
of Operation Doublecross, if the
voters tide over the men they car
ried last election.

Power Too Much
For LeWiStOWn

Scoring 26 to IS, the Locomotive:
battered out their second victory
of the conference series in Lewis
town, Friday, in spite of a wind
that seriously hampered their pas
sing. Wagner and Dantic brought
the Laurel team its fruits, Wag-
ner running the extra point after
Dantic crossed to pay dirt on a
line buck in the first quarter.
Early in the third period, Wag-
e took off on a 28-yard end-run
that ran up 6 more points for the
charging Locomotives. A 12-yard
run by Sheets gave Laurel an
other touchdown, DantIc convert
ing Sheets scored again early in
the fourth quarter, on a reverse
play from about 9 yards out.
Lewistown plays paid off in the
first and third periods. Dwane
Smith ran up 6 in the first, and
Ken Byerly brought in another 7
points in the third quarter by
scoring and converting.
The Lewistown passing attack
worked on several short shots,
while Laurel completed one out
of four long range passes. The
statistics give the Locomotives Is
first downs and 324 yards by rush
against four first downs and
Ga yards for Lewistown.
