Good Sportsmanship Is Main Factor to Success By ANNE SEXTON The youngsters as well as the teen-agers really get a kick out of this nice, warm, sun-shinny weather we are having now. Every day they try something new. They are simply Jaursting with vim and vigor. . . . never appear tired. . . . and always on the go. Every school I visit, I find, the boys out on the field with a ball | and bat playing that all time i game. . . . baseball. I have y«t to I find a boy that didn’t enjoy that sport. Regardless of their ages, that is one game that seems to j fascinate everyone. The high school clubs are busy j practicing trying to better them selves. Every team wants to be the best. . . . which is only natural. 1 Every player practices long and | Dr. Martin Goldner Optometrist Eyes Examined Glasses Filled 120 E. Washington St. PHONE 9431 Suffolk.

No one wants to be a dis appointment to their 'club, their school, or the people who go to see them play. Of course, they realize that their team can’t pos sibly win every time. . . . some body has to loose sometime, but you can be sure every player will do his best to make his team come out on top. GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP is the main factor in anything one undertakes to do. . . . WORK or PLAY. When one has that, he or she can get along anywhere, any time. . . . with anyone. It doesn’t come easy. One has to work hard and try hard. JEALOUSY is one thing that one should try to overcome. What good does it do to sulk, or per haps say words that will hurt your fellow man just because he or she can do the same thing you are doing. . '. . only better? Wouldn’t it be much nicer to congratulate them, admit they are better, and TRY harder the next time? You'd be surprised the good it does. ^ RESENTMENT is another thing that isn’t good for anyone. Always remember everyone can’t have the very best of everything. MAKE THE BEST OF WHAT YOU HAVE and don't feel hard or bit ter towards others . because they f Correct For Every Social Occasion Our up-to-the-minute knowledge of what's right in social stationery is a sure guide to announcements, invitations, cards, etc. that are in perfect taste.

Just remember you are equally as good, and act accord ANGER and TEMPER are two things that one has to work doubly hard trying to overcome. Needless to say, everyone be comes ANGRY at times. It just isn’t human nature not to. When something or someone displeases us and we become angry; it’s awfully hard sometime to con trol that thing called TEMPER. Not being able to control one's TEMPER causes more trouble and grief than any one thing in the It’s so easy to become angry; say things to hurt someone just to get even. . . . but, where does it get you? After the trouble ft over and things have cooled down a bit, there is nothing left but a feeling or regretfulness. You say to yourself, “why did I say those things? Why did I act as I did? If I just had my time to go over, I’m sure I would never say such words or do those ter rible things!” However, that time cannot be lived over. The words that were spoken, the acts of unkindnesses that were committeed will re main. The only alternative left is to apologize. Please be big enough to do that! Now is the time to say to your self, “the next time I become angry I will STOP and THINK before I ACT. , . . and by all means, DO IT! Whether it be work or play, if one can overcome JEALOUSY, ANGER, RESENTMENT and TEMPER then GOOD SPORTS MANSHIP IS INEVITABLE! Drum Hill By MRS.

READ THE CLASSIFIEDS Religion Living | By J. L. WALTER MOOSE | I “You are the salt of the earth; but if salt has lost its taste, how can its saltness be restored? It is no longer good for anything ex cept to bo thrown out and trod den under foot by men.” Matthew 5:13. Christ called his disciples “salt”. Why? Because salt has three qualities that every Christian should possess. Salt purfies, pre serves and flavors. To the people of Jesus’ day salt was even more indispensable than to us. It was al ' most the sole method of preserv ; ing foods, especially meat. The I fishermen depended upon salt to preserve his catch until he could ' get it to market. Salt was a necessity. | Therefore, said Jesus, the Christian ought to be a purfying and refreshing influence to the j life of the community in which i he lives. St. Augustine tells us of an early Christian custom. When a person became a Chris ! tian “Christ’s salt” was put in j his mouth to remind him that when a person decides to follow Christ he takes on the qualities of salt. Thus his life was purified and saved, and through him the life of the community was lifted a little closer to God. Almighty and Most Merciful God, in whose hands are all the things of heaven and earth, hear the prayers of thy people, and grant us thy peace all the days of our life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Home Club Meets With Mrs. Parker Corapeake. — In the home of Mrs. W. K.
