Ileen Curtis , old 8th grad-er was called to the stand and received the award from Neil Bis-hop. It was his old son that Ileen saved from drowning July 5, when she jumped in a large canal and rescued the child as he float-ed downstream. The locket was engraved recording he courage and quick thinking. The award was a surprise to Ileen as well as the audience. Wells Starley, district command-er, was the speaker for the pro-gram, and talked on World Peace in This Atomic Age. He made a point on loyalty, but to the right, not the wrong ideals. Nations and peoples could work faster toward world peace, he said, by gaining deeper knowledge of each other. The best precept, in his opinion, is "Love Thy Neighbor as Thy-self". The program closed with prayer by Darrell Lott, and the audience stood as the colors were retired. House Looted For Third Time At Yuba Dam It's getting so that Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Broderick can't tlock their house up tight enough to keep out persons unknown who insist upon entering and helping them-selves. Three times now in their absence their home at Yuba dam, where Mr. Broderick is care taker, has been robbed. Three weeks ago, when they were away on business, someone entered the house and took $85 from a wallet. A week ago Mon-day they made a trip to Delta and on their return found an entry had been forced, and two guns and $200 of clothing taken. They had left the house secure-ly locked. The back door was bol-ted, but whoever got in chose that way, and had kicked the door frame off. The racket wouldn't matter, as the Brodericks are 10 miles distant from any neighbors. Also whoever entered must have figured on taking time, for the house had been well prowled thru. Some boxes that Mr . Broderick keeps on a clothes closet shelf had been dumped out on the bed and ransacked. They contained pa-pers of value to him, and they were left scattered on the bed. A new suit of clothes and other articles belonging to their son Dean, were taken, including 20 pairs of sox he wore for basketball. The drawer they were in was left cleaned out. A suit and overcoat of Mr. Broderick's was taken, but Mrs. Broderick's fur coat was left. When in Delta Saturday Mr. Brod erick was wearing the same blue wool suit coat he wore on the day of the robbery' with khaki pants. The pants and vest (to the coat were taken with the other cloth-ing. Mr. Broderick figured that with-in 3 weeks they had been robbed of about $350, in cash and proper-ty. The first of the three robberies was in the summer, when someone also kicked out a door and entered At that time all that was taken was cooked food, and the dishes it was in. for New Building Rummage Sale By Third Ward Is Bargain Day Come one,'' come all.

F. held two of their usual successful turkey shoots over the weekend with one all day Friday and one held all day Sunday. In saying "successful" we mean successful as far as the shooters were concerned because they picked off the turkeys at all ranges with great rapidity and un-concern. The Owens boys seemed to do about the best shooting, but not far behind were the Rufe Clark boys, with Rufe doing some nice shooting with a shotgun. The Ed-wards boys clipped them off when they could get up to one of the ranges. Mrs. Bertha Owens was crack shot for the women on Friday. She tied with Mrs. Ruth Done, and when they shot the tie she was winner. And again on Sunday she won tops honors and another tur-key To give those who weren't there an idea of how fast the shooting was there was a series of four birds won on the 100 yard offhand range in but seven shots. The Odd Fellows were getting bowlegged toward the end carrying the birds to the various ranges. Jim Owens of the dead-eye- d clan, Owens, Owens, Owens, Owens and Mrs. Owens did the best shoot ing to our knowledge Sunday. On the 100 yard range he won a bird on the first shot. Taking the same gun to the 125 yard range he won another bird with one shot. He, stubbed his toe on the range and had to take two shots to get his bird but was back in the groove on the range getting his turkey with one shot. His four turkeys averaged $2.25 each, which in these high times seems quite good. Trap shooting was a big favorite at the event and was kept busy all day on both days. There was also target shooting with rifles and target shooting with pistols, which kept the participants busy all day. The Odd Fellows will have to change their system in the future or else blindfold many of the men or they are going to lose their shirts and the lodge hall to boot, if the boys keep up their dead-eye- d marksmanship.
