Succor is still offered those in dire need. Women in many parts of the world are still regarded as more’ than dams of male posterity.

This we may be certain is not the fault of the Red Cross, but is due either to Germany’s refusal to permit“such aid, or because under conditions imposed, it would mean the ‘Red Cross was aiding Hitler’s war. We may be sure that the time will come when this great agent of human charity will be welcomed in ‘the lands now under the warlord’s heel. There has been a disposition in recent times, among those who once were generous contributirs to the Red (Cross and other charities, since the federal government has entered into competition with individual citizens in alms giving, taxing all ‘Americans for this purpose, to shrug off the obligation that. rests on every ‘senstive conscience. Of course, this is specious reasoning, for after all the real advantage in giving accrues ‘to the giver more than to the recipient. Those who are moved to give to the Red Cross, help to maintain the standards of an enlightened and onward marching civilization.

Floyd Ruth plowed through the center of the Grass Valley line for the extra point and a tie ball game. The battle, traditional ‘Big Game’ of the year for the . two squads, was witnessed by probably the largest crowd in Grass Valley gridiron history. Yellowjacket rooters were nearly as plentiful as the Grass Valley supporters. = Ceremonies Held Prior to the opening of the game flag raising ceremonies took place ‘on the field. The Grass Valley High School girls drill team performed and the bands of the two schoois played. The first half of the battle was . scoreless.

The contest, one of the principal attractions of the Armistice Day. celebration in Grass Valley, was nearly as colorful as the parade which preceded it. in the second half on a beautiful 30yard run by Leo Mitchell. The attempt at conversion was good. ters was short lived, however, as the e person of Allen Spracklen a short r fumble and romped nearly half the "ed up in their own territory.

Muscardini Good ‘ In the second. half Bill Muscardini ‘ took over the punting and his well directed kicks helped the Yellowjackets cause. Ruth, considered one ‘of the best backfield men on high . . fi school football teams in. northern California, played his usual good game. When the Yellowjackets threatened to score inthe closing seconds of the game it was Ruth who led the way. On the first play after the Miners punted from deep in their own ter,ritory, Ruth on an end run, made thirty yards. Muuscardini’s pass to Ruth on the next play was good for the game just when the Yellowjackets were in an excellent position to score. George Phillips was the Yellowjacket captain for the game.

This we may be certain is not the fault of the Red Cross, but is due either to Germany’s refusal to permit“such aid, or because under conditions imposed, it would mean the ‘Red Cross was aiding Hitler’s war. We may be sure that the time will come when this great agent of human charity will be welcomed in ‘the lands now under the warlord’s heel. There has been a disposition in recent times, among those who once were generous contributirs to the Red (Cross and other charities, since the federal government has entered into competition with individual citizens in alms giving, taxing all ‘Americans for this purpose, to shrug off the obligation that. rests on every ‘senstive conscience. Of course, this is specious reasoning, for after all the real advantage in giving accrues ‘to the giver more than to the recipient. Those who are moved to give to the Red Cross, help to maintain the standards of an enlightened and onward marching civilization.
