DflSKfflftAWL Gerald (Doc) Vizard Is wondering’ no more. Ills Pleasant Mills Spartans copped their first victory of the season last nigh, defeating i the Commodore seconds. 34 to IS. The Berne Bears, victorious by a good margin over the Decatur Yellow Jackets Thursday night, gave the fans a convincing display of their much vaunted power, proof of the respect in which the Bears are held throughout the state. —oOo — In some respects, the Bears looked better to the writer than the 1934-35 team which advanced to the quarter-finals of the state tourney. The Bears played a smoother brand of ball than last year, hit better and showed more cleverness. —oOo—■ For the Y’ellow jackets, the Decatur boys had plenty of tough luck in making their shots stick, particularly in the first half. Many shots iolle-l around *ie rim and fell off. to be recovered nearly every time by the Bears. —oOo — The Decatur Commodores kept their perfect record intact Thursday night, by traveling down to Berne to give the Jefferson Warriors a severe 56-22 trouncing. This marked the seventh straight win for the Commies, all but one of them by comfortable margins. —oOo — Next week will be rather tame for basketball fans of the county. Friday night the Commodores will entertain Catholic Central of Hammond on the local floor in the only game of the week for either team. The Commies were also scheduled to meet Lima. Ohio, here Saturday night, but we understand the game has been changed to a February date. —oOo — Interest of most of the county fans will be centered on the Berne Bears. The Bears will compete Saturday in an invitational tourney at the South Side gym in Fort Wayne, with the three Fort Wayne public high schools as th. other participants. —oOo — For sports oddities, we would cite you to one right here in Adams county, to be exact, Monmouth high school. Ernest Curtis, coach, who, incidentally, is a cousin of Herb Curtis, former Yellow Jacket mentor, tells us this one: •‘The regular starting lineup of the Monmouth second team is composed entirely of Fuelling boys. Here they are: Richard and Robert Fuelling, twin brothers; and Edgar, Lorence and Harold, all of whom are cousins and all related to the twins.” Top that one. if you can. o Carl Buflenbarger Is Given College Award North Manchester.

RABBITS LIKELY TO 00 DAMAGE Thousands Os Fruit Trees Likely To Be Damaged By Rabbits Urbana, 111., Dec. —Rabbits are so numerous in some sections of Illinois and Indiana this winter that thousands of fruit trees may be damaged unless they are made rabbit-proof before the first heavy snows, according to R. S. Marsh, of the horticultural department. College of Agriculture, University of Illinois. Heavy snows not only cut off other food supplies of the rabbits, but also make it possible for them to reach the upper trunks and crowns of fruit trees to nibble at bark which they seem to relish, he said. Heavy roofing paper, wood veneer or hardware cloth may be used for protective barriers around the trees. The material should be wrapped around the trunk of the tree from the base up to at least

| 20 or 30 Inches above the ground. The deeper the snow is likely to be. the higher the barriers should i be. Marsh said. While there are a number of paints and chemical I preparations which may be applied! ! to the trunks of the trees, none of I these preparations which may bo' these preparations has been found as satisfactory as the mechanical - barriers. .Another fruit tree threat brought along by approaching winter is that of mouse damage. Field mice i moving in to more sheltered quarters for the winter find the upper; roots of fruit trees much to thc-ir ’ liking as a winter diet. Since these I little creatures object to traveling: over the ground in full view, their; attacks on the trees can be discouraged if the mulch is kept rak-1 ed back at least 20 inches from the base of the tree. Another method is to place pois-: oned bait in "poison stations" near' the bases of the trees. These sta- ‘ tions may be made of boxes, small drain tiles, tin cans, or fruit pars.' A poisoned bait recommended by the U. S. Department of Agricul- ’ ture consists of 1 tablespoon of gloss starch mixed with 1-4 tea cup of cold water and stirred into 3-4 of a pint of boiling water. One;

BOOK NOTES By Ruth Winnes "DISCOVERY” by Richard Evelyn Byrd Bac from the twilight' it an ice age Admiral Byrd aas come with a story of sights that men have hardly dreamed of. sights that no human eye has ever witnessed before—an account of difficulties met and overcome in the “loveliest aim most unforgiving of continents." Using the most primitive means I and the most modern, pushing on i by ship, dog team and by airplane, Admiral Byrd and his men penetrated to the very heart of the Antarctic. There, with the latest scientific instruments, they coaxed from the age-old Ice secrets that have been locked there since the ' world was young. In all twenty- ' two branches of science wi.l pro- , fit from the discoveries for which these men risked their lives. "7 or . the first time the Antarctic ice ' cap was tapped be seismic sound- | Ings, aud the depth of the ice determined. On the rim of the polar : plateau, 180 miles from the South | Foie itself, a sledging party came I upon the petrified remnants of i semitropical vegetation; and on the glueerized slopes of the Edsel i Ford Range another party dlscovI ered with wonder a rare profusion i of Antractic flora, hints of mineral ' wealth, and microscopic life. Now in this great book Admiral Byrd tells the whole magnificent story of geographical exploration, scientific echievement and adveni tur. The reactions of a man faced I self-imposed isolation for the beneI fit of science.
