Panthers Defeat Fabius Sunday

Considering , t . h e occasion, Mother's Day, which kept the attendance at a minimum, lack of practice, and t h e chilly atmo­sphere -wfhich made overcoats most welcome, the local ball team got away to an excellent start, Sunday, a t Dunbar Field, by taking the visiting Fabius I lads into camp, 16 to 1.

Wilder was in mid-season form, and made his teammates look especially good by little ball handling. He whiffed fourteen, and granted but four hits. How­ever, the boys did some hitting, Lewis a n d Orton contributing triples, and Saltsman a n d Spear, doubles. Wildness of the visiting pitchers and a sievelike c a t c h e r , contributed sev­eral runs.

Sunday next the locals visit Parish.

v AID THE BOY SCOUTS

BY GIVING TODAY The annual Boy Scout drive

for financial assistance is in full swing this week and co­operation is asked from every­one to make it possible to com-Diete it today so the reports can be completed for a meeting Fri-URV evening.

The drive this year is being I sponsored by the Oswego Coun­ty War Council, because of the very great assistance the scouts are giving toward the council's activities. In time of war the Boy Scout movement is of even more importance than at any other time, and the air raid wardens have volunteered to "ive their personal time to raise funds for the continuance of the organization.

When the wardens call for voiir contribution, don't make them wait. Just remember, they

It was the coldest game since Arcade^—though the sky was bright and there was no hail. The crowd—resemblant of the brood t h e Old Woman had In the shoe—resorted, at times, to lung power, to keep warm.

Right here, it might be well to mention, t h e team is on its own, financially, t h i s year; there Ls no angel. I t hopes to play t he kind of ball which will warrant patronage, and Invites same. Assembleges, like Sun­day's, will not pay the recovery charge on lost balls. Manlius comes here the 24th. Better plan to see t h a t game.

By a queer quirk of the sched­ule, t he locals are away all the month of June, though the 21st is an open date.

Phoenix lost a heartbreaker at Parish, Sunday, with last year's champions scoring five times in the eighth. Pete Zollo, reformed catcher, whiffed 16 Oil City boys, bu t ran into trouble in said frame when three hits, an error and a muffed third strike, which would have retired Parish, spilled the beans. Mean­while, Wayne Herrick swished 11 visitors and gave but five or six h i t s .

"If they keep their eyes open," says vivacious M i s s Shearer, "they'll soon get the answer to the first question, and as for the second—the ultimate

v SCHOOL STUDENTS TO

OBSERVE ARBOR DAY

SYBIL SHEARER I

The whole purpose of the arts , we dancers feel, is to help peo­ple live more keenly and with a better appreciation of the forces in na ture and in themselves. Through the d a n c e an a p ­preciation of movement (which after all is t he basis of l ife), people will not only understand the dance, but will also be more conscious of movement in n a ­ture; a quality as beautiful in its way as color, shape, a n d sound."

In any event, Miss Shearer is a crusader for the Dance, and believes it has something to of­fer everyone who will open-mindedly give it an opportun­ity. Her own background is evi­dence that it can be absorbing enough to be a career. Brought up in Newark, New York, she was interested in writing, t he drama, and all other ordinary activities.

Not until t h e close of her un ­dergraduate studies at Skidmore College, did she really become awake to t he possibilities of modern dancing, and then ar­ranged to go to the Bennington School of the Dance, Benning­ton, Vermont, to work under Martha Graham, Charles Weid-man, Doris Humphrey, and Hanya Holm. Soon she was with the Humphrey-Weidman Group on tour, and her career has been assured ever since. Her most recent professional con­nection has been as a faculty member of t he Academy of Al­lied Arts in New York, and as an associate artist with the Agnes DeMille Company.

Her assisting artist, Allison Choate, for the past year has conducted h e r own s t u d i o classes at Portland, Maine, and has a record of interest and de­votion to her ar t similar to tha t of Miss Shearer.

Arbor Day will be observed at Pulaski Academy and Central school next Wednesday, May 20, according to B. C. Snyder, vice principal and agriculture in­structor.

Approximately 15,000 trees will be planted' by local school students to celebrate the occa­sion. Mr. Snyder said the com­plete details are not available, concerning this work, but will be before next week.

FatheV Lyons left the follow­ing statement: "I am most happy and consider it a deep privilege to be sen t by my own parish in particular, by the Service Club, by my friends and acquaintances, a n d by the com­munity at large, to serve my God and my country. I am proud tha t it is from this vil­lage of Pulaski t h a t I go forth on such a mission."

Out-of-town guests included several priests from Oswego, headed by Rev. T. F. Howard: four priests from Scranton, and an army chaplain from Pine Camp. Rev. Pau l Martineau of Cortland, who will take Father Lyons' place here, was also present.

Father Martineau is a native of Springfield, Mass., but later moved to Syracuse. He was ed­ucated for the priesthood at St. Bonaventure P r e p School, Col­lege and Seminary, Allegany, and .was ordained a priest, June 2, 1928. He has served as assist­ant a t St. Mary's, Cortland; St. Francis de Sales, Utica; St. Paul's, Norwich; St. Lucy's, Syr­acuse; St. James' , Johnson City; St. Anthony of Padus, and St. John the Baptist, Syracuse.
