SEE THE STRUGGLE
Oh, Yes, the Annual Fashion
Show Will Be a Feature of
the Afternoon! Grim War
riors in Last Secret Prac
tice This Afternoon
In and about the corridors of the
two city high schools to-day there was
a strained hush. Somehow or other
the boys did not talk quite so loudly
as they usually do and the girls—of
the one school —failed to giggle their
usual giggles. It was the same hush
that falls when two grim, low-lying
battleships strip for action on a dull
gray sea; the same hush that falls
when armies face each other, waiting
for the word to fire; the same hush
that falls every year on the day before
Thanksgiving in and about the Central
and Technical High schools.
To Decide Tliat Question
For to-morrow the football warriors
of the two schools—one eleven, the
Blue and the Gray; the other, the Ma
roon and the Gray—meet at Island
Park to decide that momentous ques-]
tion of the year.
Not, will the Germans or Allies win?
Not, shall the nation prepare for de
fense?
Not, will the T-atin teacher "flunk"
us?
No, none of these—but,
Tci'li or Central
Which?
And so in and about the corridors
of the two city high schools to-day
there was a strained hush.
But To-morrow. Bedlam
But to-morrow bedlam will break
loose. The hosts of the rival institu
tions will make up for that strained
hush of to-day—and don't you forget
it! Instead it'll be strained throats
and strained relations between Sister
Sue and Brother Bill whose sympathies
lie In opposite directions. Fully 7.000
cheering. football njad, Thanksgiving
Day celebrators are expected at Island
Park when the whistle blows for the
kiekoff at 2.30 in the afternoon.
Quito a Fashion Show, You Know
Perhaps nearly as interesting as the
£amo itself, will be those 7,000 people.
For many and many a one of those
thousands will wear the season's regu
lation short skirt and fur trimmed
garments—and what could be more
interesting than this? Especially when
blue sweaters, and red, decorated with
the gray letters of the two schools are
wrapped snugly about pretty chins
that peek out above the upper rim of
fur, eh?
The odds to-day were in favor of
Central's winning the big battle. Cen
tral has walloped Steelton all over the
lot. and Tech hasn't. Central has won
all but one of the* games it played this
year—and Tech hasn't. Central has
Harry Rote —and Tech hasn't.
Rote, with his clever running and
punting and handling of the team is
expected to lead his team to victory
by the football dopesters. But doesn't
it seem to you that the "dope" has
been wrong several times this year?
Wliat tlic Teams Have Da«c
Harry Rote, captain of the Central
High football team scored 144 points
for his team this season exclusive of
the Thanksgiving game with Tech.
Rote tallied these points for his team
in the first nine games by making 19
touchdowns, a goal from field, and by
kicking 27 goals after touchdown. His
111-around playing stamps him as the
best offensive as well as defensive
player in this part of the State.
While Rote was doing this, his team
mates added 110 more points, while
but 7 points were made against the
team during the season. In the first
contest of the season, J. Swank, right
end on the Lancaster High team,
scored a touchdown on a forward pass,
and Dudley kicked the goal.
Nine players took part in Coach
Smith's scoring machine. Following
Captain Rote's brilliant performance
came fullback Houtz. who scored 54

WEST SHORE FAVORS
BODY TO BOOST DISTRICT
[Continued *-"roni Flint I'age.]
more homes, the location of new in
dustries and a general increase In the
population, which In turn would bene
fit business in the Capital City.
Men prominent in every day life
along the West Shore continue to ex
press their view** as to what benefits
would be derived if an improvement
organization or betterment league
could be formed. They are of one ac
cord in saying that great good would
result and that the territory would be
improved generally. They are dis
cussing many things of interest which
they believe can be accomplished If
every one puts his shoulder to the
wheel and with a proper beginning
some great developments In lower
Cumberland must come.
To Organize Soon
Dr. J. F. Good, a New Cumberland
druggist, says an improvement organ
ization Is a thing of the near future
and he believes his town will be great
ly benefited If a local association can
be formed. "New Cumberland," says
Dr. Good, "is peculiarly situated inas
much as it is at the extreme lower end
of the West Shore but there arc many
things in which we, as well qs soma
of the other towns are Interested. Just
as an example, X might say, that if
there were a civic association here and
another in Lemoyne, we couid join
hands and endeavor to get a better
road between the two towns. 1 favor
oach town having its own organiza
tion and when an occasion arises that
intorests all of the towns then let
tho associations meet together.
"Here in New Cumberland we have
blanket, woolen and knitting mills
where girls do almost all of the work.
There is little work here for a man. 1
would say that if we had some kind of,
an association In tho borough we
might Induce some persons to estab
lish metal and wood works and then
give employment to jnen. If men can
be brought here to work then it
that their families will come here also
and the result of that would be the
building of more homes and the en
larging of the town, the schools and
churches, and the betterment of busi
ness conditions generally.
"A municipal organization might
work for street Improvements, too, and
in many ways help to better the town.
Some improvements could be made at
the square and by planting shrubbery
and erecting p. fountain, if possible,
that would be made a very attractive
place."
Heartily Endorses Move
M. A. Brinton, of the Brinton-Packer
Company, and a well-known resident
of Camp Hill, is enthusiastic over the
plans for the new organization. He
heartily endorses any movement which
would benefit the community and in an
interview he has mentioned many
things which could be accomplished
by co-operation. "Maybe we could se
cure a tree bridge," he said, "and that
would not only help the entire lower
end of Cumerbland county, but It
would also benefit the supper end of
York county. Then, too, better high
ways might be in store for us if we
united our forces over here. 1 would
like to see additional building sites
laid out, with reference to connect
ing all of the West Shore towns. At
present very little ground lies between
the towns and 1 believe that If the
proper spirit were manifested we could
make the West Shore one big town.
There is need also of another artery
from the river westward and this will
come eventually. People in Camp
Hill need another road to Harrisburg
and the new highway should connect
with the upper end of Wormleysburg.
There is a small subway at the railroad
In the upper end of that borough now,
and this could be enlaregd. The pres
ent road there is private and leads
to several farms. This road, if
exteritfhd. widened aijd put lit first
class shape would be exactly -what
both Wormleysburg and Camp Hill
want. lam sure, too, that with proper
co-operation, narrow tracts of lands
could be gotten on either side of the
proposed roadway and these could be
planted with shrubbery and beautified
so that we could have a real parkway
between the two towns. Camp Hill
needs a new outlet to the river and
this plan appears to be very accept
able.
Community High School
"There is another thing which in
terests the whole West Shore and that
is a community high school. If all of
the six towns would put the money,
which they now expend for separate
high schools, in one pile a first class
community high school could be main
tained. There would be better courses
provided. As an example, boys could be
taught manual training and girls do
mestic science. The standard of the
§ehool undoubtedly could be placed
much higher than the standard of any
of the present high schools on the
'West Shore. The community school
would not likely require more than
the present high school teachers from
any two of the towns so that the ex
pense of one department would be
balanced by the saving in another and
the taxpayer would have the same mill
rate as he now has. Children living
at Washington Heights must go up to
Enola, to the township high school. If
a community high school was estab
lished and the logical place for it
would be in the vicinity of Port Wash
ington, then conditions would be re
versed. Speaking of other improve
ments I would say that the whole
West Shore should join in endeavor
ing, in some way, to improve the
river front. in Camp Hill are not
along the river but believe that if the
west bank of the Susquehanna would
be beautified the whole community
would reap the benefits. Systematic
, Coal Operations
Below Capacity
The coal situation is becoming more and more
serious as cold weather approaches.
Mine owners are prevented from running their
mines to capacity for the following reasons:
First, the railroads are not furnishing enough
cars.
Second, the labor situation is far from satisfactory.
No one is willing to predict what will happen in
the coal regions when it gets real cold.
On thing is sure—poorly prepared coal will be
put on the market in an effort to fill all orders as
fast as they are received.
If you want to burn good, satisfactory coal you
should have your bins filled without further delay.

improvement would show them that

live wires, men and women who favor
development and people who take ail
interest in their surroundings. With
this improvement idea the territory,
must grow. New homes will be con
structed and eventually there will bo
but one big town over here."
Ralph E. Sclirack, secretary of the
Wormleysburg Borough Council and
one of the men who has worked dili
gently for the erection of the new town
hall, is another improvement advo
cate and he says that in Wormleys
burg an organized effort would do
much to benefit the town. He favors
river front Improvements, the estab
lishment of playgrounds and co-oper
ation with the City Panning Conils
sion of Harrtsburg. In speaking of
the river front Mr. Schrack said: "For
some time past residents along Front
street having been showing much in
terest in improving the river front anil
some of them have been doing some
grading and planting. Now, I be
lieve that if the proper kind of or
ganization were effected we could in
duce residents along the entire front
to adopt a uniform system of planting.
Other persons in the town, too. might
take a hand and help by contributing
toward the purchase of shrubbery and
tlowers. The river bank needs grad
ing badly at some points and I believe
that the majority of people over here
are willing to have the work done. All
we need to have is Mitflcient Interest
aroused. We worked here a long time
for a new tlrenouse and when the in
terest was at its proper height there
was little difficulty in getting what we
wanted. To save some money, too
many of the residents got picks and
shovels and helped quite a bit with tlio
cellar excavations. If we can continuo
the improvement spirit you may see a
crowd of us down on the river bank
grading it preparatory to planting.
Playgrounds Possible
"Playgrounds for the children might
be one of the accomplishments of or
ganization. At the upper end of the
borough there are some plots which
would make great playgrounds anil
I'm sure that an improvement organi
zation could do something toward pro
curing some of the land for play
grounds. The City Planning Commis
sion in Ilarrisburg, as I understand.
| is ready to help the West Shore if tile
can be issued and I. for one, am In
favor of forming a local organization
'and accepting any advice offered by
the Harrisburg planners.
"My idea is that each town should
have its own association or league.
From time to time things will aviso
which will interest all of the towns.
A joint meeting of all organizations
could then be called and I believe that
with such forces lined up there will be
something doing."
Locks of Panama Have
Been Operated Without
Hitch Since the Opening
One of the most strikingly success
ful features in the operation of ttie
Panama Canal is the working of the
great locks. While these were' in
course of construction they were the
subject of all sorts of dire and pessi
mistic prophecies. Certain distin
guished foreign engineers declared
that they were too unwieldy and too
complicated to work. Others asserted
that the first, earthquake would put
them out of commission.
As a matter of fact, the locks have
literally worked without a hitch. There
has never been an hour of delay In
the operation of the canal, an if there
has never been a ship or a man in
jured because of any trouble with
the locks. The ease with which n
giant steamship is lifted upward '(5
feet at Gatun, for instance, is a most
impressive example of the might of
machinery. Your vessel steams slow
ly between the great concrete walls.
You look back and behind you t lu
great gates are swinging closed, slowly
and majestically, scarcely making a
ripple in the still waters, tons and
tons of steel and concrete movinc al
most-without a sound. Then suddenly
the water all about the vessel begi >s
to bubble exactly as though it were
boiling. The great, culverts havo
been opened and water from Gatu.i
Lake is pouring in. Almost imper
ceptibly the great vessel rises, and yet
within three minutes it is thirty feci
above the level of /the sea. Another
pair of the giant, locks swings open.
The squat, powerful electric towing
[engines seize your vessel fore and afl
| and creep forward with it. You an
