Our two ereatest heroes, Lincoln and Washington have their birthdays in this month. In the light of present day world events, wp find ourselves studying with re newed interest and understand ing the motivating ' action's of these two great figures of destiny. Mrs. Carl Wimherlv, the Americanism' chairman fbf the local unit. Introduced the speak er, the Reverend Perry Smith, on. the radio program Tuesday, Feb. 4," at 5:30 p. m. iThe Rever end Smith spoke briefly and con cisely on the phases of American ism that we as individuals must face at this time. Ho said in part: In dealing wifh this problem of Americanism it is well to re member that our institutions are not superior to our citizens. The state must follow and not lead. the character and progress of its citizens. The wise know that legislation is but a rope of sand that perishes if not supported by creative Americanism. The state Is a currency stamped with the portrait of its citizenship.. Our institutions have no exemptions from the defects and weaknesses of neopio which have wrecked civilization in the past. The form of government which will prevail will be that which ex presses the ideas and ideals of its people. And only those who build on ideals build for a sane future. It is impossible to fix the boundaries of personal influ ence, as persons are instruments of moral and spiritual forces. In our country a man is a man who exerts his power as a man eith er for or against democracy. The regular meeting was held Tuesday night with the presi dent, Mrs. Lois Baker, presiding. We are glad to have with us at this meeting Mrs. Peterson, state president of the Federation of Women's clubs and an active aux iliarian. Later in the evening the post joined us for a social hour.

(AP) As a 3-to l underdog, Ernie Vigh came so close to beating the high ly-blllcd Billy Soose that Promot er Mike Jacobs made plans today to re-match the two before giving cither a shot at Ken Overlin's middleweight championship. Although Soose, the former Penn State college boxer, was awarded a unanimous ten round decision in Madison Square gar den last night, he was anything but convincing about it, and had to come off the floor to turn the tflck. Besides, It was learned to day he was fighting a fellow who had been bedded by a temperature of 101 degrees less than 72 hours before the fight. What with that picture, plu: the added touch of an all-day shower-bath which Old Man Weather gave New York, holding the gate down to a mere Si-Mi1":'. Promoter Mike talked to the managers of both fighters today about putting the tussle right back In the Garden March 7. This time it would bo over the 12- round route, instead of ten. Each fighter thought he won last night, and there were as many "boos" as cheers from the fans at the verdict. Referee Eddie Josephs, while voting in Billy's favor, called the fight five rounds for each. Vigh contended his aggressive ness and the knockdown he scor-; ed with a crunching left hook at the end of tho eighth round Soose was still on the floor at the bell were enough to win the fight for him. Soose, on the other hand, used his advantage of boxing skill and Inches in reach to pull out of danger with a long, stabbing left-hand.
