Continuing Mr. Babson stated that immigration should be encouraged. The Scotch, the Irish, the English. Norwegians, Swedes, Danes and Ger­ mans should be encouraged to locate in this country.

The local high school basket hall season will open Friday evening when both the girls and boys teams meet the floor squads from Osborn. It is, as yet, uncertain who will .pet the first call and definite lipeup^ will probably not be known until game time. Last years veterans are finding plenty o f opposition from the younger material as various combinations are tried out, On the girls teams the guard and middle floor positions arc rather well fortified but it is impossible to say as much o f the forwards, lack of fast and capable shots is very notice­ able. The style o f play used by the boys team is gradually losing the rough spots bpt it wifi take at f least one game to show up the flaws clearly. The center position with Smith, Jur- kat and Webster as the leading can­ didates is most in doubt. A four man defense is being used by the local school this year.
