THE PINEHURST OUTLOOK, PINEHURST, N. C.
( WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1939
The WORLD of TODAY
gyVAV CALLS SCANDINAVIAN POWERS’ PARLEY
By the Associated Press
A Copenhagen report iays that Norway issued a rush call Tues
day for a conference of Scandinavian countries to explore the possi
Li cips of a peaceful settlement of the Finnish-Russian war and to
take stock of their own alarming situation.
Emphasizing the earnest desire of the Northern country to re
establish peace, the Norwegian Foreign Minister invited the foreign
ministers of Sweden and Denmark to meet with him in Oslo Thurs
day.
Sweden, showing increasing alarm at the Soviet incursion into
Finland, mined her territorial waters near the Finnish-owned Aaland
Islands in the Baltic and took other precautionary steps to strengthen
her defenses.
FINNS CLAIM MANY PRISONERS CAPTURED
In Helsinki, the Finnish army last night reported the capture
of many Russian prisoners and the destruction of eight enemy tanks
in the Karelian peninsula while their air force bombed Soviet bases
beyond the Arctic Circle.
The losses were inflicted on the invaders at Salmi on the north
shore of Lake Ladoga, after the Russians launched a heavy artillery
attack, it was reported, with the Finns using a new automatic rifle
with deadly effect. 1
Fighting back fiercely against the invaders Finnish flyers were
reported in Norwegian dispatches during the day to have raided a
Soviet air base at Murmansk, and to have destroyed 60 Russian
planes with bombs. Another Finnish air raid on the Baltic port
which Russia leased from Estonia and from which Soviet bombers
are alleged to have set out for Helsinki was reported. ,
KELT STUDYING PLAN TO HELP FINLAND
In Washington, as a further gesture of sympathy for Finland,
President Roosevelt disclosed yesterday that he was seeking a method
of using the Finnish war debt payments for the benefit of the little
Baltic nation now being attacked by Russia.
The President told of his plan for the Finnish war debt payment
at a press conference, in the course of which he replied an abrupt
and emphatic negative to a question whether it would be unneutral
to forgive the Finnish debt payment under the circumstances.
As to what would ultimately be worked out, Mr. Roosevelt was
uncertain.
ITALIANS SEEK TO ENLIST IN FINNISH ARMY
In Rome, scores of Italians sought to enlist in the Finnish army
Tuesday to fight against the Russians. Applications poured into
the Finnish legation as police prevented 1000 university students from
marching upon the Soviet embassy to express their sympathy for
Finland.
Many young Italians appeared at the Finnish legation in person
to offer their services.

DlNEHURST SCOREBOARD
■ ty ROBERT E. HARLOW
Scoreboard’s old friend William F. Steedman, golf editor of
The Seattle (Washington) Times, in a 'recent, issi|e of his excellent
publication, wrote the following:
LYRICS OF THE LOCKER ROOM
There’s a ,chap whose lonely lot in life I heartily deplore. He
hardly knows what human friendship means. You only think about
him when you’re feeling glum and sore. I’m referring to the Keeper
of the Greens.
When the fairway's firm and springy and the greens are smooth
and true and your soul in pride and ecstasy exults, you seldom pause.,
to pay the' recognition that is due to the man whose work accom
plished such results.
But let your tee shot finish in a jclose or cuppy lie, or your putt
slide off a tuft of grass and miss—in wrath you’ll lift your hands and
eyes and voice to heav’n and cry “Dd we pay a man for such a job
as this?”
At appointed times and seasons, when on fairways, greens and
tees the fertilizer's nourishment is spread, and the acrid fumes of
fish-glue float upon the gentle breeze, don't you ever think that
grasses must be fed? 4
No, you cuss the Keeper of the Greens, confound his blasted
eyes and demand in heated word and plaintive tone that the green
committee fire him, though you ought to realize that you grow no
grass with perfumes of Cologne!
When the club is having trouble keeping out of carmine ink, to
the chairman of finance you're quick to go and murmur in his ear
the sly suggestion “Don’t you think the greens department’s spend
ing too much dough?" fl ?
, The engine of the tractor may be coughing out its lungs, and
the units of the mower may be shot, and the turf for food may holler
with its million starving tongues—but they’ll cut the greensman’s
budget, like as not.
Then he’ll coax the dying motor, he’ll get by with worn-out
tools, he will scrimp and save on seed and oil and gas, and despite
the interference of some unenlightened fools, somehow he will
contrive to give you grass. it -
When the product of his labors in the spring’s returning sun
shines forth in verdant beauty o’er the land, he doesn’t wait your
plaudits for the work that he has done, for he knows they are but
few who understand.
The sweetest praise he ever gets is silence most profound that
welcomes him when all is going welt He knows the only time the
boys will ever gather round is when they wish to give him plenty hell.
