The main feature of the program was a little one -act alle- gorical play. The scene of the play is laid in a farm home, the time is Christ- mas eve. The story runs thus: Peter Steele, a pillar in the church, is the custodian of $3,000 left with him by a friend just before going to war. The money was to be held in trust for the friend's son. The time has come for Peter to give an accounting to the boy. He is tempted to ab- scond. The scene opens with Mrs. Steele's uncle trying to per- suade her to let a crippled beggar in; they also argue about the money due the boy. After she has sent her uncle to bed a man walks in and asks her why she sent the cripple away and talks to her about selfishness. Later, when Peter comes home, he again enters and talks to him; recalling all of the circumstances of the his agreement with his dead friend, and telling him just what he is thinking of doing and just how easy it will be to do it. In the course of their conversa- tion Peter discovers that his vis- itor is Judas Iscariot who has been following the visionary form of Jesus as he seeks admittance. In the end Judas convinces Peter that $3,000 is not worth a life of dishonesty. Then Peter goes out find the cripple. The played showed very nicely tho personal happiness which is the reward of listening to Ihe voice of conscience, telling us to follow the ways of honesty and Justice. For, after all, God is really Love, and doing Justice is the one and only way to worship Him. The character of Mrs. Steele was portrayed by Miss Merna Nonhof; Judas by Glenn Halvor- son; Peter Steele by Graydon Udelhoven and Mrs. Steele's un- cle by Walter Udelhoven. After the program games were played and a lunch was served.

MY BROTHtR'S KEEPER Few humans ever realiz the influence the most trivial of their actions may have upon t' lives of others, especially the lives of those younger than themselves. Perhaps the subject of crime may seem a bit out of keepin with the spirit of good will which now prevades those portions the earth inhabited by English speaking peoples, as well as other tongues. But perhaps no better time could be chosen in which to plead the cause of life's unfortu- nates. All crime is largely the outcome of environment and cir- cuAstance. Examine the past lives of the most notorious of crimi- nals and, when once you have gained his confidence, you will pro- bably find that at sometime, somewhere, someone whom he trusted im failed him; has figuratively hit him when he was down; has carelessly dashed cup of cold water from his hand ere he could bring it to his parched lips. Misplaced sentiment, poli ,heal greed and public opinion have played such havoc with the judicial branch of our government that justice is well nigh a mere mockery. The ancient Greeks were the fathers of the jury iystem but the Greek juries did not in the least resemble the juries of today. The jurors were so numerous that bribery was an impossibility. Jury service in ancient Greece was a duty instead of a job; they were there not to listen to the voice of public opinion, but to see that justice was done. A man commits a crime. Public sentiment is aroused against him. The civil law says the burden of proof shall rest with the State. Yet, if public sentiment is strong enough, nine chances out of ten, the jury will convict, whether or not the State has conclu- sively proven him guilty. Or it may be that a jury, awed by the cunning of an attorney; with the impassioned tones of a masterful plea ringing in their ears, will slap Justice in the face and free a guilty man. The law says a man shall be tried before a jury of his PEERS. It is high time that the judicial and law enforcing agen- cies be divorced from politics; that those duties be vested in honest and well -trained men under a national head. It is up to the citizens to begin to do a little serious thinking for themselves. Each individual is responsible in some way for the corrupt or just state of society. The mothers and fathers have a very serious problem to contend with. The influence of home training weighs heavily in the mature lives of children. The par- ents of the nation can make this nation more corrupt, or they can help to make it again a nation the keynote of whose law is Justice, by training their children to speak and act in terms of Justice for all And the rest of us have duties of citizenship too, Believing in Santa Claus will not make a child kind and gen- erous, but following the example of some worthy individual will. The boy apes and mimics some athletic hero. If his idol smokes cigarettes, uses careless language or refrains from those things, so will the boy who worships him an hopes to grow to be like him. Each and every person should hold him or herself responsible for the present state of society. Young eyes are watching each and every move: young ears catch and retain every word, Some careless word or act may be the deciding factor in the life of some growing child either for bad or for good. So it behooves each and everyone to set a guard on their actions and words; the.places they frequent; the company they keep. During this season of gladness and generosity let each individual resolve to be a truer and more upright citizen and by setting a worthy example help to lessen crime. By thinking and acting in terms of Justice we will further the cause of Universal Brotherhood which is the golden theme em- bodied in the glad festival of Christmas. Today- the bells ring sweet and clear; They sing about the Christ Child dear. God's in His Heaven while man is near; Let's help each other while we're here. FINE GOLD Rev. R. K.. Mustroie brought a group of the Lutheran young folks of Lewitown to Winifred Tuesday evening. The juniors presented a fine little play enti- tled \Fine Gold\ the theme of which was the influence of the Bible for good in the lives of people when its teachings are followed. The little playlet as presented the other evening had two end- ings. The first action shows life in reality; the second as it ought to be, and would be, if humans would follow the dictates of con- science, justice and friendship. The first presentation shows a wife trying to persuade her hus- band to refuse an advantageous business opportunity entailing the ruin of his neighbor and busi- ness associate who once came to his aid when his own family was in financial straits. Her more practically minded husband, son and daughter override her objec- tions. Her husband accepts his good fortune at the expense of his friend who is overcome by the news. Then his wife and daugh- ter come and denounce the for- tunate family. The play was immediately re- enacted and this time the good fortune is foresworn for the sake of friendship and the opportun- ity to repay the old debt of grat- itude. And this time there is the happiest of endings. After the play the young peo- ple entertained their audience with numerous humorous skits and sent them home happy. Mrs. Jackson Better I Mrs. Sallie E. Jackson was ta- ken to a Lewistown hospital Tuesday. Latest reports are that Mrs. Jackson, who is 91, is so much improved that she hopes to spend Christmas with her SOD Charles. To Mitchell A farewell party was given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Mar- tin Dahl last night in honor of Mrs. Carl Guliickson, Mrs. Gull- ickson will leave tomorrow night for Mitchell, South Dakota where she will visit for several weeks with her mother. ----- Business Is Good Business has been so good with the Winifred Farmers' Oil Com- pany that they have been forced to build an addition to their place of business. Manager S. E. Sande is hoping that business will con- tinue to hum throughout the New Year. Postmaster Haun got busy the other day and put a new and bigger general delivery window in the post office—one with nice shiney bars. The bigger window is a big help with the big Christ- mas rush now on in a big way. Visitors From Canada Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Flynn of Prince Edward Island, Canada are welcome visitors at the Rey- leck home. The Flynns left their home November first for a coast to coast trip. They came to Winifred from Swift Current, Sask. Before coming to Montana they visited in New York, Bsston Montreal and Winnipeg, Man. Mrs. Flynn and Mrs. Reyleck are sisters. The Flynns are de- lighted with the wonderful local climate and they will make an extended visit with the Reylecks after which they will continue their journey westward to Van- couver, B. C. where they will visit with other sisters. DEATH SENTENCE \Whatever difference of opin- ion there may be about policies of relocating our population, there can be none as to the public in- terest wherever agriculture is writing its own death sentence.\ With the above statement, Pre- sident Roosevelt's Science Advis- ory Board takes a definite stand for a national control of land pol- icies to further the battle against soil erosion. Growing alarm over the ever- increasing destruction of valuable top soil, which is persistantly forcing American farmers to a lower economic scale, is now one of the major causes of the en- deavors of the government thru the Resettlement Administration. The Advisory Board, in its re- port to the President, declared: \Where cultivation has become self-destructive t h e iss ue is clear-cut; here national policy will inscribe on the map of the United States the boundary lines of' areas to be placed under pro- tective management.'' Too great a problem for the in- dividual land owner, the county, or the state, the program is being pushed forward in the Mountain states as rapidly as possible by the Resettlement Administra t i u with the cooperation of the Soil Conservation Service and other agencies. The nation, during the last few years, has recorded a loss in fer- tile top soil estimated at four hundred millions of dollars. Death -dealing dust storms, improper farming methods, arid wanton destruction of timber which protected the watersheds from erosion abuse, are contrib- uting factors to this country's loss of 50,000,000 acres of land that will never again be placed under cultivation; an other 100,000,000 acres on the border- line; and 125,000,000 acres where soil vitality is now being des- troyed. Federal statisticians estimate the soil lost through erosion last year, if placed in freight cars, would circle the earth 19 times at the equator. With the realization of the terrific loss to the nation's re- sources, there comes the inevit- able question -- \What will the agricultural situation be in an- other 50 years?\ Scientific research men are now contemplating every possible avenue of endeavor in a desper- ate attempt to prevent agricul- ture from writing its own death sentence. Despite the present doleful outlook for the future of Ameri- can agriculture, the nation can be assured that the death sent- ence now threatening will be commuted if it is humanly poss- ible for the Resettlement Admin- istration and the government to push ahead its program. The Lutheran Sunday School will give their Christmas pro- gram Tuesday evening at the church. NOT GUILTY The trial of Jack Lewis charg- ed with the murder of Rollin J. Munroe ended Tuesday. Lewis' plea was self-defense. The case went to the jury at a few min- utes after 1 p. m. after a forcful plea by chief of defense counsel, Howard Gee. The jury was out almost five hours. After several ballots, the first of which was 7 to 4 for a verdict of guilty, with one not voting, they returned to the court room with a verdict of not guilty. Trial Postponed Mr. Ike DeWeese wishes us to state that the trial in which his brother-in-law, Wayne Hawn of Great Falls, is one of the prin- cipals, set for the 24th of Dec. has been postponed and will be called for the 3rd of Jan. The trial is a result of a triple car crash which ocurred Saturday night, three miles north of Lew- istown. At that time Mr. Hawn R car was wrecked when it crashed with a truck driven by Lester Heller. The third party to the nrash was a Mr. Johnson of Deerfield. Roy Girls Defeated While Boys Win Roy and Winifred divided bare ketball honors Saturday night. The Winifred girls had a walk- away, easily winning their game by the score of 71 to 14. The boys' game was a hardly fought contest ending in a score of 26 to 10 in favor of Roy. The score in the girls' game should have been at least 100 to 14 had the forwards played bas- ketball. Somehow they seemed more concerned with scoring than winning. No one could wish to see a nicer pair live -wire scrapers than Pat Peck and Dorothy Asb- jornson; give either of these girls a little more height and they would give any set of guards a case of jitters. The guards are continuing to show improvement although in the Roy game they had little to do except look on, Frances Davis was the high point scorer for the - visitors, getting away with 4 baskets in the sec- ond half. Vernon Marsh and Bill Davis plus Dotson and Maruska had the local boys more or leas at their mercy. But there were times when the smaller boys un- corked such a deceptive passing attack that they went through the Roy defense inspite of their beef. Cliff Odegaard was the lone scorer for the home boys during the first half of the game. They fared little better the sec- ond half, Lea Wildung, Kendall and Odegaard each scoring once while Marsh and Davis were making 16 points. The game was fast and clean with only five per- sonal fouls being called during the entire game, three on Roy and two on Winifred. Despite the loss of two games, the boys are looking more like a basketball team than anything we've seen for several years. It is only - a question of time until their passing attack will begin to show results. The Denton teams come to Winifred tomorrow night. Ac- cording to reports they have two good teams. Their girls have beaten Windham and Moore; their boys have won from Moore and lost to Windham. Come up and watch Winifred win two games. The town has livened up since the host of discharged witnesses came home. Most of them are of the opinion that there are a lot of better 'offing places than the court house corridors.
