Junior Basketball
Nearing End
OF It's Season

M. Y. r. AS initial program is
nearing its close. With more than
125 sixth, seventh and eighth grad
.ers swapping baskets, and fouls
every Saturday morning from nine
till noon. This morning Basketball
Leagues finish play one week from
this Saturday.
In the three boys leagues, the
Lions sixth grade), Episcopal
(seventh grade) and the Chamber
of Commerce eighth grade) teams
appear headed for championships
in their respective divisions. In
the girls bracket, the teams were
not divided by grade in school and
as they have had only one week of
official play, no team is a stand
out. The general play, however.
is much better than was expected
and great credit should be given
to the girls varsity who are act
ing as coaches and to the team
mothers and to the players par
ents for their encouragement.
Last Saturday, the c. of C.'s
swamped the Fire House gange q
to 4, and the fast stepping Pres
byterians made it three straight
over top-fight finis as they down
ed the American Legion 25 to IA.
In the seventh grade, all winning
Episcopal continued to dominate
their league with 25 to 8 win
over V. F. W., while the Catholics
trampled Avenue Methodist 26 to
IL. The sixth graders had difficult
! ty in filling teams as sickness pre-
vented the Rotary and Kiwanis
from having a full team present,
resulting in forfeited games for
both teams.
Saturdays program, whic h
I would normally end the season
(extended one more week on ac-
count of the March snow storm)
+ brings together the leaders in all
three of the boys grades and the
two winners from last Saturdays
girls program.
Boys schedule for this Satur-
day: $500 a. m, Rotary VS.. Lions
and Kiwanis VS.. Calvary; 9:40 a.

cOpal VS.. Catholic; 1920 a. m,

THE MODERN RIVAL OF
CHRISTIAN FAITH by Georgia
Harkness. Abingdon Cokesbury
Press, Nashville. $275. An analy-
sis of secularism, and. therefore,
an important volume for tOday's
bookshelf. Secularism is defined as
the organization Of life as if God
did not exist. The Christian Gospel
receives damaging blows from
those who stand within a long
Christian inheritance, but are now
preOccupied with more exciting
matters. Something else claims
first allegiance, and gives life sup
port. Many goods are placed over
against spiritual values. I'VE no
longer live in the Christian West,
but a mission field ripe for har-
vest" Rival faiths take advantage
of our living in a world that has
so largely lost meaning. AS sin
cere followers of Jesus Christ,
Christians must be willing to pay
the cost of their Gospel. Self-lOve,
self-sutficiency, and self-depend-
ence must go, and victory be OBJ
tanned through self-surrender to
the hard way of the Cross. 1t is
most encouraging to read the en-
phasis on lay and pulpit evangel-
ism, the conviction that evangelism
and education should be together
in union, and the call to prayer in
the daily practice of the presence
of God.

mite that threatens to blow us to
bits is not in the stuff we hold,
but in the ideas we hold: the
danger lies not in the atom, but in
us. 1t is that fundamental atheism
with which we regard the material

this is Gods world and to be used
for His purpose. that assumption
that it is ours to serve our ends
and to do with as we please"

1t has been brought to the atten-
( ton of the Independent Order OF
Odd Fellows of Delaware, that we
can serve the troop of Boy Scouts
/ (NO. 330), composed of the boys
who are the guests of the Cover
nor Bacon Health Center at Della

serving but come from families
who can do so very little for them
They all want to spend one week
at Camp Rodney, but there are nc
means provided for them to do this
After several meetings with your
Grand Lodge Officers the Off
cials of the Boy Scout movement
.. and the Governor Bacon Health
Center, your officers thought il
would be a fine thing if our Fra

Camp Rodney for these boys. There

The cost for each boy would be

Many of the lodges, as well as

to sponsor one or more boys.
This is one of the most worthy
projects we have ever undertaken

Farm Income Drops Off

The American farmer will begin
to feel the effects of imitation more
keenly in 1862, as farm income
drops behind nOn-farm income, the
Bureau of Agriculture Economics
has revealed.
Farmers are starting what may
be the highest production year in
the Nations history with parity
prices in their favor. But net in
come is likely to be no higher than
last year and well below the 1947
peak. Income of the non-farmer is
expected to climb in 1852.

some hope today for lower food
COSTS,
The decline in prices Of farm
products as a whole during the
menth that ended September Is
was reported late yesterday by the
Agriculture Department.
At the same time the depart
ment said average prices paid by
farmers dipped only ! per cent so
that farm prices averaged 101
per cent of parity, compared with
l03 per cent both a month and a
year ago.
More livestock are moving to
market now as a result of a period
of high prices, and so market
prices were Is per cent lower than
a year ago and lowest since June,
1850, just prior to the Korean war.
Movement Of more potatoes to
market after a short crop also
pushed priced downward as much
as so cents and more a bushel.
They averaged 1922 a bushel in
mid-September and $2.78 q month
earlier.
Milk and other dairy prices
moved in the opposite direction,
probably because of widespread
drought and high prices for live
stock feeds. The survey showed
an 8 per cent increase in average
dairy prices and the highest aver
age for any September in 43 years

After 4.3 Million FIiqht Miles

Guerre with three palms and the

From 1920 to 1925 he barn
stormed in the canvas-covered
"Jennies"-which a latter-day
pilot might well regard as dam

His first assignment for Pit
cairn was flying the night air
mail between Philadelphia and
New York in single engine, open
cockpit planes which carried the
pilot and $50 pounds of mail-if
the pilot didn't weigh too much.
Matter-o fact about his long
career in a job ordinarily thought
of as a young mans spot, Capt.
Shaffer is proud Of his safety rec

Joan Wage, 10. whose sergeant

humiliation when Wage brought
"a plump German seamstress into
their house at Fuerstenfeldbruck
