Whereas, four years of devoted

Record Prices At
4-HBaby Beef Sale
Grand Champion Hereford
Steel Sold For $67 Per Hun
bred Pounds.

The annual All Baby Beef Sale,
held at the Four-States Livestock
Sales Yards on Wednesday after
noon, November 4, in conjunction
with the Washington County All
Livestock Club, was the most SEN
sational sale ever conducted by
Four-States.
The Grand champion Hereford
steer, raised by Wayne Draper of
Williamsport, brought the record
price of $1,000 per hundred pounds.
1t was bought by Daniel Wieland,
proprietor of the Tortuga Restaurant.
The reserve champion steer, raised
by Elwood Leather of Smithsburg,
also brought the unusually high price
of $4,000 per hundred pounds, the
purchaser being Armour & Com
pany.
Still another All steer, raised by
Pete Wakenight, was bought by the
Hanks Packing Co. of Baltimore, for
$500 per hundred pounds.
The sole top-placing animal raised
by All girl was a reserve cham
pion hog, raised by Nancy Hocken-
berry of townsville, which went to
Roy Hoffman and Son for 301s cents
per pound.
These unusually high prices re-
fleet the fine work being done by
members of the Washington County
All Livestock Club in raising their
stock. The young people were given
the finest cooperation by the local
merchants, whose support went a
long way towards making the sale
so successful.

BEHIND
HOME PLATE
BY H. S. DOUGLAS

The football games between the
Hagerstown High School Hubs and
the City College of Baltimore, and
the Saints of st. James School and
st. Pauls of Baltimore, scheduled
for Friday night, were both cancel
led because of the snowstorm.
The High Schools game was COM
pletely wiped off the map, as neither
school has vacant date before the
season ends.
The Hubs will journey to Fred
erick tomorrow night for their final
game of the season, against Freder-
lex High School, and here's hoping
they make it a winning one.
The Saints travel this week end
to Delaware, where they will play
st. Andrews school of that city on
Saturday afternoon. This should be
a honey of a game, but am looking
for the Saints to come up with their
fifth win of the season against only
one loss.
Last Saturdays college games ran
true to form in the Upset Depart
ment," the two big surprises being
the win of Texas over previously
unbeaten Baylor, and Southern Cali
fornia's win over Stanford and by
strange coincidence, kicking account
ed for both upsets.
A Southern California field goal
gave them their three point margin
over Stanford, and the point after
touchdown enabled Texas to stop
Baylor's unbeaten march.
The nations two top teams, Notre
Dame and Maryland, both kept their
unbeaten, united records intact, but
neither game was the runaway af-
fair it was expected to be.
An inspired Pennsylvania team
gave Notre Dame the scare of their
lives before they bowed to the
Fighting Irish by a score of 1920,
In the Maryland - George Wash
ington game, the boys from G.. w.
playing as they never had before -
and probably never will again -
fought the mighty team of Jim Ia
tum on even terms through he en-
ire first half, at the end of which
the score read, Maryland, z G. W.,
6.
In the second half, however,
George Washington was unable to
stand up against the tremendous re-
serve strength of Maryland and
any possible chance they had was
ruined by a blocked punt and
tumble, both of which resulted in
Maryland touchdowns. The final
score was 27-6.

Notes

Kev west Peiies Deps.

Parents and teachers Of Truman
Elementary and Reynolds Street
Schools are to be congratulated on
the realistic way they are going
about promoting Safety amongst
the children.
Both schools now ny the Green
Cross nag. It Is . proud symbol.
When Key Westers, as well % the
school children, see that white ban
ner with the green Cross waving,
they win know that "Ail's wen. !"
However, whenever school is in at
tendance and the Green Cross
isn't in sight, there is reason for
grief. Some child has been injured
In an accident which in all proba-
bility could have been prevented!
It isn't right for Us to expect
those kids to shoulder the entire
burden Of their own safety. Every
adult Key Wester must aid them
In keeping their nag flying. You
can do 1t by setting an example :
drive with extreme care In all
school zones; If you're walking,
cross the street at the proper
cross-walk and make sure that you
have searched for on-coming traf-
fic from every direction. Obey the
orders Of the school safety patrols.
That last is Important The boys
and girls who form these patrols
are entitled to as much or more
respect than you give a police Of
ficer. And YOU can rest assured
that II any policeman sees you de-
|liberately ignoring the school safe
|ty patrols, you're going to find
yourself in court.
There Is one especially nice thing
that can be said about Safety it
Is It's own reward. Think Of that
and help keep the Green Cross
Tags flying at Truman Elementary
and Reynolds Street Schools.
