Welcome
ToRefugees
IsUrqed
BY Ruth Deon

MIS-. hiram Cole HOugAIOn,
assistant to the director of the
Foreign Operations Administra-
tlon in charge of refugees and
migration. called upon Ameri-
cans yesterday Ito welcome into
your communities" the $4,000
homeless immigrants expected in
this country in the near future.
Speaking at a luncheon of the
Soroptimist Club of Washington,
Mrs. Houghton pointed out that
214,000 immigrants will be ad-'
mitted to this country under the
Refugee Relief Act of 1858.
Asking for more sympathetic
understanding of the newcomers,
she urged:
Don't think of them as riff
raft. They're not. A great many
of them are doctors, lawyers,
teachers and professional peo-
pie. They believe as we believe.
All they ask is the right to move
about, to cooperate. to work, to
achieve some economic security"
She also gave assurance that
National Security will not be
threatened by their admission.
Never fear they are security
risks" she said. They have been
1nterrogated and screened. Most
of them have riSked death to
flee from behind the Iron Cur
tain"
Mrs. Houghton said she in
spected refugee centers in Eu-
rope last April and October.
I've sat and visited with them"
she declared. ''I know what they
want out of life. I know their
dreams Help them to make those
dreams come true. Don't let
them down."
Recalling that I'VE didn't do
too good a Job with UNRRA or
with some of the CT brides, who
went back home" she added:
IF they come into your COM
munlty, welcome them, invite
them to socials, introduce them
to their own people, enroll them
in English-speaking classes"
Mrs. Houghton made her ap-
peal as part OF an inspirational
Christmas address.
Declaring that too much en-
phasis has been placed on the
material side of Christmas, she
said: We've lost sight of the
fact we are celebrating the
birthday of Our Savior, Jesus
Christ. We should observe it in
the spirit of friendliness He
showed to all people,"
The speaker. who is a former
president of the General Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs, was in
troduced by Mrs. Grace Nicholas,
program chairman. Mrs. Eliza
beth M. Perkins, president of
the club. conducted the meet
ing, held in the Willard Hotel.

London Winds Up
Dismal Season
With Alp Win
Raiders Down WinIess
Wilmington Before
Less Than 300 Friday
BY PETE CONWAY

Last Friday night the London
Red Raiders beat Wilmington AZ
to II at the London athletic field.
This was the last high school foot
ball game for the ten seniors on
the London team. Wilmington had
not won a game this season.
In the first quarter Wilmington
wasn't able to get anywhere with
the ball, but London on the other
hand scored two touchdowns. One
of these touchdowns was made by
Jim Stahl after a 50-yard run. The
other I'd was made by Dick Le-
Beau. Bill Ames only made one of
the placements. Early in the sec
ond quarter Wilmington's Jim
Gregory drove over for the first
Wilmington score. The extra point
was no good. Later in second quar-
ter Wilmington fumbled the ball
and London recovered. In the next
few plays Stahl drove over for an
other London score. The placement
was good. Wilmington fumbled
again in the second quarter, and as
a result London scored again. The
I'd was made from a pass from LIE
Beau to Smith. The extra point
was good, and the half ended with
London out in front 81 to 6.
In the second half London again
drove into Wilmington territory,
and after a series of ground plays
lie Beau went around end for
London score. The point was good.
Wilmington wasn't able to move
the ball out of their own territory
in the third quarter. In the fourth
quarter London again moved into
their opponents territory and a
pass from lie Beau to Crabbe was
good for another I'D. The extra
point was good. Wilmington then
took the ball and moved deep into
The Raiders territory and after a
few plays Haidet drove over for a
score. The extra point was no
good. Later in the final period
Wilmington was forced to kick on
fourth down. They kicked the ball
to Howard, who ran the ball back

IN MEM0RIAM
In loving memory Of our dear
husband and father, Clifford Hill,
who passed away Nov. 10th, 1912.
I've lost my souls companion,
life linked with my own,
And day by day | miss him more
As / walk through life alone.
No one knows the silent heart
aches
Only those who've lost can tell,
OF the grief that is borne in
silence
For the one Ioved so wei.
In my heart his memory fingers
Sweet, tender fond and true:
There is not a day, dear Dad,
That we do not think of you.
Sadly missed by wife, Mary and
children.
