Today in Congress there have been numerous bills introduced to make it a Federal offense to deface or destroy the American Flag. This has been brought about by the anti-Vietnam war demonstrators. Following is an article that appeared in The Banner in 1910. “In Mexico the national anthem is held in such high esteem that permission must be secured from the authorities to play it at places not included in the list provided by law. It was played recently in a church at Tierra Blanco in honor of Archbishop Guillow, who was visiting there, but no permit having been secured, the church dignitary was arrested, imprisoned

and fined for the offense and a fine was also imposed on every member of the orchestra Which had been secured to play the anthem. The law for Keeping sacred the national anthem was passed to prevent its use at bull fights and theaters.” * • • • “The weather of the last two days has put a quietus on the fishing aspiration of the Isaac Waltons in Greencastle. Very few fish are being caught despite the fact that quite a number of the local sportsmen are spending a great deal of time on the banks of Big Walnut. The truth of the matter is, the fishing is no good at this time of year and the sooner these men get this into their heads, the less time will be wasted. The experienced fishermen of Greencastle have not yet opened the season and probably will not do so until the middle of June. After the bass have quit nesting is the proper time to begin. Those who are content with mud turtles and sunfish will probably continue to be found on the banks of the creek.” • * • * On Wednesday, May 18, 1910. the earth passed through the tail of Halley’s Comet. Some uninformed citizens viewed the event with a great deal of alarm as indicated by th» following account, and in 1985. if all predictions hold true, we will have an opportunity to view the spectacle as it is supposed to return close to the earth every 76 to 76 years. “Greencastle has her quota of amateur scientists who are looking forward to Wednesday night with varying pleasure and alarm. At nine o’clock on that evening the earth will pass through the tail of the comet, and some of the local sages

are predicting all kinds of evil. One Greencastle man is credited with the assertion that the air will all leave the earth at that time of passing and that all the people on the globe will be suffocated. Another asserts that it will be so hot on the earth that everybody will be burned and still another says there will be earthquakes in all parts of the world.” « e e * “Herbert Jordan reports another man who was expecting the world to come to an end when the comet was reached. The man borrowed a crowbar about two years ago and Tuesday he entered the shop and stated that he would like to pay for it, as he nad lost it and he wanted everything squared up before the worst came.”

Cubs Defeat State High In Baseball, 13-7 Greencastle Tiger Cubs jumped on State High with five big runs in the bottom of the first and second and held off two mild rallies by the Young Sycamores for a 13-7 WIC Conference win. In the wild first, the Cubs

Win WIC Crown Brazil and Gerstmeyer won the disputed 1967 WIC Conference championship Friday at Linton. Both clubs shot a 320 total. Greencastle finished with a 322 total and protested the final score. Greencastle Rob Lyon was assessed a two stroke penalty after coming off the course and that proved the margin. The penalty was one concerning out of bounds and Since the WIC Coaches were almost split in their decision the final stroke total will be determined in conference meeting. Dan Pallone was Conference Medalist with a fine 73. The scores were taken up somewhat by the gusting winds although several golfers managed 75s. Rob Lyon ended play with 36, 41—77 and Dan Mont shot a fine 40, 38—78 to lead the i Tiger Cubs.

In many hands the declarer cannot afford to have a particular defender on lead and therefore does everything he possibly can to prevent this from happening. South was in three notrump, got a spade lead, and made the proper plaj* of the queen from dummy. The purpose of this play was twofold. If West had the ace. the queen would win the trick and. the K-8 would then constitute a stopper if West later obtained the lead. If East had the ace, he would win the queen all right, but South could then duck the spade return, holding up the king until

the third round of the suit was played. This would serve to neutralize West's remaining spades if he had five originally. When the queen held, South cash the A-K-Q of hearts, hoping to find the suit divided 3-3 or West with four of them. In either event he would then be sure of the contract. But it turned out that East had four hearts, and the outcome was that South went down one when East won the fourth round of hearts and returned the jack of spades to trap the king and defeat the contract. Actually, the problem of avoiding East, the dangerous opponent, could have been solved quite simply early in the play. After winning the spade lead with the queen. South should have led a low heart from dummy and finessed the eight. The eight would have lost to the ten, but, with West on lead, the defense would have found itself stymied. Nothing could prevent declarer from winning nine tricks — consisting of a; spade, four hearts, three diamonds and a club. The avoidance play was bound to be effective if the hearts were divided either 3-3 or 4-2, and the safety finesse of the eight therefore offered a far better chance of making the contract than cashing the A-K-Q in the hope of finding a favorable division.

tallied the big runs on only two hits, but State High chipped in with four errors and four walks by lefty Bob Heck. The five run second was almost a repeat of the first, but the Cubs bunched four of their nine runs to bring in the five runs. Cub pitcher Phil Kidwell and battery mate Chuck Evans share batting honors with two hits each and Kidwell had two RBI’s, but Kidwell was relieved in the third after running into trouble. The Cubs, now 4-4-1 in the WIC conference, next entertain Sullivan at the local park, Monday at 4:15. State High scored three be-
