The big news that came out of the
meeting of the Board of Directors
of the Interstate League held at
Lancaster on Tuesday afternoon was
the announcement by president Ger
aid P Nugent that the league will
definitely operate in 1858,
In his statement Mr.. Nugent said
that there is a good possibility that
the league will have eight teams but
in order to be ready in case it would
be necessary to operate a six team
league, the schedule committee was
instructed to draw up two schedules
One for an eight team league and
the other for a six team league. Both
for a total of 140 games-70 at home
and 70 on the road - opening on
April % and closing on Labor Day.
The only club that has turned it's
franchise back to the league is Har-
risburg and Mr.. Nugent stated that
there are several cities who are in
terested in the Harrisburg franchise.
The following committee was APP
pointed to contact the interested par
ties and the result of their work
will probably decide whether or not
there will be an eight-team league:
Rufus Edward, general manager of
the HagerstoWn Club; Ed Kirschner,
president of the Hazelton Club; Hen
ry Ness, president of the York Club;
and Frank SPAR, general manager
of the Lancaster Club.

gerstown Club and vice-president of

the league, who has battled hard all
through the fall to keep the league
intact, stated that he feels that the
Interstate League is stronger than
any of the other B leagues and that
if eVerybody-and that includes the
press and radio-gets behind the
league, instead of spreading harmful
rumors, 1858 will find the league in
fine shape.
The final makeup of the League
for 1853 will be definitely announced
at the annual meeting and banquet,
to be held in Hazelton, Pa, in Feb
ruary.
The directors, during the meeting,
voted to make a change in the meth
cd of paying visiting teams.
Heretofore, the visiting teams
have been paid a guarantee of 500,
or 8 cents on each admission, which
ever is the highest, except for a stip-
ulated number of Booster Nights,
when the visiting team got 500, re
CARELESS of the paid admissions.
Under the new rule, all visiting
teams will receive a flat payment of
$500 for all games, regardless of the
attendance and whether or not they
are Booster Night" games. This
will not only do away with a lot of
bookkeeping, but will also permit
the Home teams to put on as many

without having to pay the visiting

ed several of my writer friends
to write such a definition for me.
Each promised that he would do

So, my friends having failed
me, I decided to have go, at il
myself. In simple, honey, down
to-earth fashion, I attempted tc
express just what America means
to me-.
Apparently, my effort struck a
responsive chord because it was
widely quoted in newspapers
and magazines, over the radio
and from the lecture platform.

It is customary for us to clean
house in the spring of the year
and plant crops and hope for
prosperity, which leads us to the
thought of our own growth.
In order for us to cultivate a
field, sometimes we must clear
away old rubbish before planting
time. We sometimes find the
some things true in our personal
life. In order to attain the happi-
ness we so desire, we must first
clean house.
I'VE have negative thoughts in
our minds. They keep telling us
we can't do this or that. That's
the thing we must deny. We can
be prosperous with the right at
titude.
There aren't many people who
realize the value of confession.
BY confession, I mean what we
are or want to be. eve are just
what we confess to be and will
never rise above our confession" P"
Love attracts love. Like at
tracts like. These facts are very
practical and I hope you are try
ing them. If we want prosperity,
health, joy and happiness, we
must put our faith in them. We
can have happiness by thinking
speaking and acting happy.
There must be the desire, be-
lief and action. In order to sue
ceed in life, we must have these
three and all agree as one. We
must include in our designs all
people, say together in these days
"In God We Trust" We must re-
new our pledge and use our faith
and act to preserve our freedom.

Brookfield township was one
If the original townships of Nor
gan county, having been organ
ized by that county in 1919. The
commissioners of Noble county
changed its boundaries in 1851
so that it does not have the orig
inal thirty-six sections. With the
exception of the Dyes and few
other families from Pennsylvan-
ia and Virginia, nearly all the
pioneers were New England
Yankees, chiefly from Massachu-
setts, a large number from Wor-
cester county in that state. The
earliest route of travel was the
so-called Federal trail, made by
General Arthur Saint Clair S
army, who were unable to OBJ
tain boats for transportation to
Forst Washington on Manhattan
Island, New York. The trail be-
gan at Grave creek, on the Ohio
river, and running westward,
crossed Dyes Fork of Meigs
Creek, near Renrock where it di-
vided, one branch passing
through Bristol township, Nor
gan county, crossing the Mus
Ikingum river at Gaysport, Ohio.
The first permanent settlement
in the township was made in
1906 by the sons of Ezekiel Dye.
Dyes Fork of Meigs creek takes
its name from this family. Mr..
Dye was native of New Jersey
and a veteran of the Revolution
ary War. He followed westward
as far as Chillicothe on the old
Federal trail, seeking land on
which to locate, but was best
pleased with the Meigs Creek To-
cation, where he entered several
hundred acres in the vicinity ot
Renrock. His sons Thomas Eek
liel, Jr., William, John, and Amos
were all young men at the time
of their coming and soon devel-
oped the woodlands into highly
productive farms. When the
IOyes first came to Brookfield
