By that time you were just too old to circulate. Monday, a husky guy with a familiar face came into the Eagle and we found ourselves with Major R. D. Fox, USAF.

We're almost hesitant to take note of the fact that Murray high's Spartans will entertain South tomorrow (Friday) in a h Class A football game. Our hesitancy stems from the criticism levelled at high Bchool principal Varian Mortensen by the mother of a local student. Seems she thought the publicity angle on high schc4 athletics was being pretty much overdone and that the game of football didn't justify such extensive coverage. . WelL she may be right. Perhaps newspapers are prone to athletics because s. so many Americans are Maybe the same of publicity channeled toward music or the arts would eventually have the effect of swinging the public to more, general attendance of these things.

Poplar street from 48th South street, south to 5th avenue is street for south now a bound traffic. Another bottleneck at 4th avenue and State street (First National Bank corner) has been alleviated with installation of a eyncronlzed semaphore directly in front of the 4th Avenue entrance. ' This forces traffic traveling south on State Street to stop north of the 4th Avenue-Stat- e street entrance. Thus when the go signal Is lit, traffic can flow freely through from Vine to 4th Avenue and motorists desiring to turn south or north off 4th Ave. may do so without waiting for a long period while State street traffic files by. 53rd ths in Proves Hotbed Ot Semaphore South-Stat- e I W V' h V.J 2p one-wa- y Arthur Ruben Ruben Becomes Third' Candidate .
