November 14, 1940 _Verhovayak Lapja Page T BRANCH 366 KEGLERS Cleveland, Ohio Our play-off game between Verhovay A. C., Branch 366. and Buckeye Business Tradesmen was bowled No­vember 2d. We bow our heads in reg­ret after this event. As I described in the last issue, in the two previous games we each, Verhovay A. C. and Buckeye Business Trades­men, won a game. We are not so much sorry at losing the play-off as the fact that we took a terrible beating. The summary: Verhovay A. C., Branch 366 764—677—732 Buckeye Business Tradesmen 872—798—851 This gave the Tradesmen a victory by 348 pins. But still, after all was said and done, we were glad to participate in a little party where everybody enjoyed himself. The boys wish to thank Mr. James Pesti, of Lorain, and Mr. William Miglets, of Youngstown, for their kind­ness in cooperating to ar­range a match game; also for their acquainting the va­rious members.

The ballad was first publish­ed in 1888 and became a national favorite almost im­mediately. Mellowed by time, it has taken its place as a classic of American folk lite­rature. Every village, town and city in the country once had its aspiring young elocu­tionists who sought local acclaim by reciting “Casey at the Bat.” It was a favorite on programs held in the coal regions. DeWolf Hopper, the noted actor, has been re­garded as the nation’s su­preme reciter of the ballad. He once said that he recited it over 15,000 times.--------------------O-------------------­WANTS TO BOOK GAMES Branch 52, New Bruns­wick, New Jersey, has or­ganized a bowling team and would like to book games with near-by branches in New Jersey and Pennsyl­vania.

THE FIREMEN OF LONDON The “battle of Britain” has brought to the notice of the world a new kind of war hero—the firemen of London. These men aren’t be­­medalled. They don’t march about to the playing of mar­tial music. Individually, few of them are known. But the fact that London still exists is largely of their doing. They take the most extreme risks calmly and without fanfare, in the line of daily duty. They go for days on end without sleep or rest, battling the fires the enemy’s great bombs create. A con­siderable number of them have died at their posts, that others might live and the seat of the Empire be saved. Here in our own country there are no bombers to de­vastate our cities, no long­­range guns to blast at our homes and industries and national monuments. But, al’ over the nation, firemen are doing a peace-time job that should be given far more recognition that it usually obtains. There has been many a jest concern­ing easy-living firemen, sit­ting about in their comfort­able stations, talking and yarning and playing cards. But it isn’t funny when an engine crew must enter a burning building that may collapse into an inferno of flame any minute. It isn’t funny to have to fight a great fire when the tem­perature is twenty below and the spray from the nozzles turns at once to ice. It isn’t funny to put on masks and asbestos suits and try to control an oil fire generating thousands of degrees of blazing heat. The fire department is any town or district’s first line of defense against an enemy that is as destnictive as war. And a first-class fire department is any town’s best investment. The fire­fighters of London are mak­ing the headlines with a service that is as vital in peace as in time of battle.--------------------O----------------— A device that warns of the presence of gas in mines, tunnels and buildings by signals electrically transmit­ted to distant point has been developed by Johns Hop kins University scientist. ODD LAWS . . . The Prohibition Amend­ment was a paragon of logic and justice compared to some laws that may be found on the statute books of many states. These laws of course are now unenforced and unenforcable, but they are laws just the same. Virginia, for example, has a law which states that any citizen who misses church for three Sundays in a row is a public enemy and, as such, may be put to death. In North Carolina it still is illegal to sing out of tune at religious service and a devout worshipper may be fined because he was not blessed with a true musical ear. Arkansas can boast stat­utes which provides that no one shall play cards or fly kites on the traditional day of rest. Some of the “goofiest” laws which never have been repealed have to do with transportation and the regu­lation of traffic. In Kansas trains approaching the same crossing- are supposed to come to a dead stop and not pass until it is decided which train shall proceed first. Silly as this seems in a day of automatic signals, it is a sound and sensible law com­pared with the Tennessee statute which reads: “The driver of any automobile must give ten days’ notice that he is going to drive along any road by taking notices to the side of the road.” CHRISTMAS GIFTS TO MAKE EARLY Apron Pattern No. 3479, sizes small, medium and large Medium size, 2 3/8 yards 39-inch fabric with 14 yard con­trasting for waistband style; 214 yards with 414 yards ric-ra; for fitted top version.
