Protection High School sent their negative team composed of Hermione, Richardson, Reed Price, and Florence Windus, to meet our affirmative here. Jessie Campbell opened the debate with a clear presentation and definition of the question. Her quiet but concise handling of the subject was very effective. Marjorie Roderick, who was our second speaker, made a stirring appeal to the effect that the government should interfere in behalf of the public and force arbitration of industrial disputes. Philip Pond closed with a clear and logical argument.

The Protection team made a very pleasing impression upon the Attica people. Their arguments were logical, sound, and well presented and at the close of the constructive speeches, the teams seemed equal. It was in rebuttal that the Attica debaters showed superior knowledge of the subject and ability to think quiekly and effectively. The judges saw fit to render a two to one decision in fayor of A. H.

S. Iris Brown, Edna Vermilya and the Girls' Chorus furnished music for the evening. Miss Baxter accompanied our negative team, Robert Reed, Glen Biberstein and Louise Crisler to Protection. Judging from all reports the debate at Protection was very similar to the one here, the decision there going to Protection, two to one. This made it necessary once more to determine the winning school by averaging the grades of all the debaters.

This being done, Protection was found to have won by of one: percent. the grades being practically the same. The negative team are enthusiastic about the royal treatment they received from the Protection High School students and faculty. Attica extends to Protection her best wishes for their success in the 7th Distriet debate. RALPH OLIVER DEAD This community was shocked to learn Monday that Ralph Oliver had passed away in France, a victim of bronchial pneumonia.

The news came in a message from military authorities at Washington. No details were given except that death came February 22nd of the disease mentioned. The family had received a letter from him which was written February 9th, so it seems that he must have been sick only a short time. The bereaved ones have the sympathy of their many friends. He was in the 35th Division and would have returned to the States soon.

FREEMAN-BOND Miss Gladys Freeman and Mr. Lloyd Bond were quietly united in marriage Monday, March 3rd. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A.

W. Freeman while the groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Bond. Both of these young people are well and favorably known in this community.
