back today to escape battle
seeking French forces.
Gen. Rene Cogny's troops
pushed 3 to 5 miles north and

Gen. Cogny, French COM
mander in North Indo- China,

French airmen in American

SUPPORT THE JUNIOR VARSITY

Editor, The Citizen:
/ had always been under the impression the Conchs
were all out for football what with the great attendance
Friday nights but have to the conclusion that
to most of them it must place to go Fridays
This year the high school built up junior varsity
team and scheduled them to play Junior varsity teams
from the schools the varsity play The first game
was played on Friday night and large attendance
but since then they have been playing on Sat
urday nights and the attendance very little They
have game they have played up to date and
doubt the Conchs patng themselves on the back
for having such good team but how many have seen
those games?
Next year these boys will be varsity players and the
Conchs will be out there shouting for them to win How
many will know these boys?
Why don't you give these boys the support thev de-
and out to them play So Broward Varsity
team tonight? I'm would make them very happy
to play their last game of the before larger
crowd They could support from the students and
that wonderful band that has caused so much comment
lately. @t
Why not miss Saturday night movie for once and
what your future varsity players like before they
become varsity players? It's only half price for full
price entertainment After all they are part Of the high
school activities, too.

Concerning the high school band it is immateral to
me whether they play Beethoven or Slap Her Down

belt bringing my boy into it.

Adams Doesn't
Let A Suicide
Stop His Reading

OXFORD, England Up = John
Adams was reading in bed. Sud-
denly the door opened, man
rushed across the room, plunged
through the window and fell s5
feet to his death.
Adams went on reading.
The dead man was John Grady,
a 26-year-old Irishman who lived
in hostel here. At an inquest yes
terday, Adams said: 81 just stayed
in bed reading. There was nothing
I could do and it was none Of my
business.
Recording an open verdict, Cor
oner T. E. Gardiner said it was
extraordinary that man should re-
main in bed unconcerned when
someone he knew had fallen
through the window. Gardiner add
ed, however, that Adams ''could
not have saved Grady"

This Rock
Of Ours

My favorite philosophical, bed
side book was written by a Jew
- Victor Gollancz - and is en-
titled, "Man and God" It is a COM
pilation Of passages chosen and
arranged to express a mood about
God and man."
Perhaps Gollancz aimed at ex-
pressing one definite mood - joy.
However, I've never been able to
read his passages without exper-
fencing variety of feelings -
peacefulness, love, understanding.
It is an anthology that / heartily
recommend to any reader who de-
