The
Teen Age
Set


Tournament time captured the
enthusiasm of all loyal London
teen-agers this week, as wave of
school spirit carried fans through
an exciting week. As always those
L.H.S. pep meetings were respon-
sible for a lot of the basketball
faver. Mondays get-together fea-
tured few acts by students, COM
bined with cheers and some real
hot music by the Off Beats. Friday
the pep meeting was handled en-
tirely by seniors, in view of the
fact that Friday was the second
annual Senior Day at London
High. The program, conducted by
an all-senior cheerleading group
from Raider Patch, included a
senior band which sang, pantomim-
ed and laughed its way through
a fashionable mock wedding. All in
all, the seniors left quite an i'm
preston as they concluded their"
day.
The cause for all the excitement,
the Raiders tourney games, were
played at the Coliseum Monday
and Friday nights. The first oppon-
ents, Westerville, found London
strong enough to come up with a
victorious 53-52 score, to the de-
light of fans who journeyed to the
game during brief siege of win
ter. This gave the Raiders a rea-
son for returning Friday night,
when North's Polar Bears captur-
ed an early lead to win the game.
Congratulations go to London's
team though, for the spirit they
showed during their final week of
basketball this year.
Wednesday night was dance
night at canteen. Dancing was
something different for canteen,
and everyone had gay time swirl
ing to the tune of popular records.

Concept Of Man as Chotte
AssoiIed at Bible PorIey

Much of the worlds distress
would disappear at once if the
vexing question What is a
man?" were exchanged for the
question What ought a man to
be?" a Methodist bishop said
here last night.
Bishop Lloyd C. Wicke of
Pittsburgh. speaking at the 9th
annual banquet of the Organized
Bible Glass Association in the
National City Christian Church.
said people are too much
troubled today by the first ques-
ton. He said it is answered in
various ways.
"A large segment of the world
looks on man as an engine of
production, others look on man
as just a bit of chance. others
view men as clattels of a polit-
ical system" he said.
Here in America, we are
altogether too prone to consider
men as agents of production and
consumption"
But such groups as Bible
classes, 236 of which are MEM
bers of the Washington associa-
tion, he said. "can give a funda-
mental answer as to who you
are"
I'VE who pride ourselves on
the name Christian know we
should think of ourselves in
terms of what we ought to be, +"
he said.
Some $50 members of the as
,sociation attended the banquet.
Organized in 1922, the associa-
Ition has nearly $4,000 members
in 86 Washington area churches,
representing IL denominations.

METHOD EXPLAINED
Soundproofing Possible
In Wall of Apartment

QUESTION: Is it possible
to make a wall between two
apartments soundproof? The
wall is two inches thick covered
with plasterboard over two-by-
two studs. The space between
the studs is filled with vermicu-
lite insulation. What can I do
to reduce the noise?
Answer: 1t Is not possible to
eliminate entirely the transmits
sion of sound by using ordinary
construction. There are con-
tractors in many of the large
cities specializing in sound con-
troll. A fair amount Of noise
can be reduced by erecting a
false wall out Of contact with the
existing one. In other words, the
new studs should be fastened to
the ceiling and floor, and there
should be a couple inches of air
space between the old wall and
the framing. A blanket insu-
lation is placed between the
studs and the wall is finished
with plasterboard or lath and
plaster.
Pulverizing Plaster
Question: I had a new roof
put on my home about three
years ago. A year later the
chimney wall from the third
floor to the basement caused the
plaster to look pulverized. In
other words. the plaster raises
and paint peels off. The roofer
says there is no leak and
have had several people look at
it. There is no need to paint
over this because in a few
months time it will look the
same. What can I do?
Answer: The plaster is evil
IDENTIFY disintegrating because Of
the presence of moisture. This
might be due to defective fash
ings between the roof and the
chimney brick. Your roofer or
mason contractor should check
this. Another possible reason for
the condition is that, if you have

A.: If liquid self-polishing

to use a wax remover prepara-
ton and 1000" steel wool. The
remover is generally sold by

and department stores. Walls
