The youngsters look forward to the annual show and their zeal is stimulated by the opportunity to display the fruits of their labors. The show also is helpin’, in preserving a skeletonized version of the pre-war State Fair.

O—o Another Record: It was wonderful news that the Queen Mary had survived 600,000 I mile- of wartime travel without serious mishap or casualty And it was also good to learn that th woodwork ami murals of this former luxury liner were unecratched and unsullied by the 600.00 t) wartime pa.'sengers—a halt million of them Americans—that she carried. i Not one G1 bound tor war. not even one jubilant veteran coining i home from Europe, so much as I carved an initial in one of the panl els or penciled a mustache upon a frescoed nymph. This te not m tradition of an American youth accustomed to adding freehand embellishments to country billboards ami city subway posters. We can’t account for it. Perhaps it was the sobering thought of impending combat on the way out. and a thankful joy on the way back that transcended monkeyshines. But we prefer to think that what swayed the hand of the returning veteran, at least, was the sight o'.' a little unspoiled beauty after seeing so many artistic creations senselessly and utterly destroyed by war. Alter the rubble of what had once been ancient cathedrals and ancient towns, even the an--tere elegance of the wartime Queen Mary must have been something to admire and respect.—Huntington Herald Press. The congregation of St. Mary' church of this city and the citizens of the community in general are pleased of the high honor conferred upon Rev. Joseph J. Seimetz. He has been invested by Pope Pitts with the title of Very Rev. Monsignor in recognition of the excellent work he has done during his years in the priesthood. Ho was one of eight to be thus honored while thr,ee others were designated as Rt. Rev. Monsignors. The investure ceremonies will be held later in the year, plans to be announced by Bishop Noll soon. Rev. Seimetz has proven lite ability many times and is generally beloved here as a good man who is doing a splendid work. We extend our congratulations.
