1912 he felt that the work OF

health. With a wife and two
children and no money, he quit
to free lance.
His most fortunate break came
four years later when he called
on George Horace Lorimer. editor
of the Saturday Evening Post

In all he wrote 200 full-length

It is a little hard to believe
that Albert w. Atwood and his
wife are celebrating their 50th
wedding; still harder to believe
that he is II.
Mr. Atwood is pretty we'll
known in Washington as an
enthusiastic Rotarian, president
of the Public Library Board and
/ ,ther civic and social activities
Tar too numerous to list. He has
looked just about the same for
the last 25 years, which is one
of the compensations of a bald
brow. Active is the word for
Albert Atwood, and he doesn't
seem to be slowing down a bit.
He is also known by many
more as the author of frequent
articles in the National Geo.
graphic Magazine and for the
many articles he used to con-
tribute to the Saturday Evening
Post.
His wife, a tall, handsome
woman three years his junior, is
almost as we'll known in the
women's world of the Capital,
twice president of the YWCA,
chairman of the District Mini
mum Wage Board for several
years and now chairman of the
United Community Services
Committee on the Aged.

stand housekeeping; it makes
him nervous, and he is glad to
get away. He says she threw him
out. He has promised to come
home in time for the party.
He is quite dependent on her
because she drives the automo-

Of a vision defect. Besides, he is
not mechanically minded. Mrs.
Atwood even has to adjust his
typewriter when it gets out of
killer.
Here p Years
The Atwoods descended on the
Capital q years ago, and neither
the community nor they had any
idea they would be such useful
voteless citizens. They had never
become greatly involved in the
several communities of their
prior residence.
He explains his willingness to
join and participate by saying
that the life of a free-lance
writer IS likely to become a lonely
life. Since 1912, his workshop
has been in his home. But when
they arrived in Washington the
AtwoodS, without any particular
thought on 1t, avoided the danger
of domestic introversion by their
involvement in civic activities.
They first met when they were
fellow students in the New York
State Normal School at
Fredonia, N. Y, not far from
Lake Erie. He was II, she was

railroads, and the death of his

New Concord, headed for a
second straight league title, has
now piled up 167 points in four
games for an average of AZ per
game, while holding all oppon-
ents scoreless. A previous $40
win over Crooksville was
eclipsed by the high point total
against Caldwell as the Red
skins undermanned squad prov
ed no match for the talented
MuSkies.
The Redskins were up against
a stone wall in the New Con-
cord defense, picking up scant
65 yards by rushing. This in
cluded 81 yards in the first
period, seven in the second, eight
in the third, and 19 in the
fourth. Coupled with the As
yards they were thrown for
losses, the Redskins wound up
with only 20 yards rushing.
The Muskies, moving at will,
ground out 423 yards as they
tailed eight times on a tricky
variety of plays. They lost the
ball to Caldwell four times on
fumbles, twice on pass intercept
tons, and once were forced to
punt.
For Caldwell, Buckley was
called on to punt no less than 10
times with an average of %
yards per punt. This was a fair
average considering one was
blocked and another deflected
for only nine yards.
New Concord tailed three
touchdowns in the first quarter
getting one the first time they
had the ball. Sophomore Ker
Johnson went 80 yards on q
sweep around Caldwel's left
end behind three blockers. Bill
