v Page 6 TUPPER LAKE f REE PRESS Thursday, Septembi Drum Corps Toolij 22 Men on 3-Day Trip To N. Y. on $365 How to take 22 men from Tup- per Lake to New York City—a round trip of approximately 680 miles; house, feed and entertain them for three days—and that at the nation's biggest national Con- vention - and do It all at an aver- age cost of a little over $18 per man was the problem faced and sojved by' Sherman Jonea, buai- nesa manager, and Leo Anable, director of the Drum and Bugle Corps of Benjamin Churco Poet 220, American Legion. According to local legion- naires, the boys managed it only by the strictest economy en route; taking • modest quarters in an out- of-the-way section of Gotham and nursing the Corps budget atten- tively throughout their trip. A $300 donation from the local Chamber of Commerce made the trip possible, and the Drum Corps men managed to swing the entire excursion on about $365, making •up the balance themselves. Tupper Lake doubtless benefit- ed considerably in the way of homo-town advertising by the trip. The bus which carried the legionnaires to New York bore banners proclaiming it from Tup- per, am! the Tip Top Town's name was on the Corps standards car- ried before countless thousands in the great Legion parade. - Post- Commander E<t Cote will submit a complete report to the Chamber of Commerce shortly. #1.12 I'KK $100.IS COST OF <t>U.K<TIN<i FKDKRAL TAXES Washington Sept 29.- It cost Uncle Sam an average of $1.12 to collect each $100 of taxes which came, into the federal coffers last fiscal year, a treasury analysis\ 1 ^ collections disclosed today.

Pacific is a tiny tropical ialand Where more than 1,100 American* are living, yet It was rarely mentioned be- fore Clipper airships made a baae there on their flights to the Far East. This dot in the Pacific, call- ed Suam, lies about 1,600 miles eaat of the Philippines, remote from the route* usually traveled by tourist*. Guamvja/ about 30 miles long, from 8 to 4 miles wide, and has been owned by Uncle Sam since the 8panlah-American War. Thou sands of U. S. Marines have served there for varying periods, living amid surroundings typical of tro- pical Islands In the far-flung Pacific Although unfortified, Guam's chief value to our government Is as a naval base, and nearly all of its white inhabitants are attached to the naval service. Its popula- tion, ' including tly naval estab- lishment, U upward of 30,080, and has increased rapidly under Amer- ican rule. Marines who look forward to a Robinson Crusoe existence on the Island are surprised whan they learn that Guam is qufte-up-to- dato with compulsory education, a hospital, radio and cable sta- tions, and many of the comforts and conveniences of the main land. The easy-going natives are call- ed Chamorros and are a mixture' of Malay, Filipino and Spanish blood, the latter a heritage from the Spanish pioneers who settled there permanently in the 17th century. They are engaged chiefly in the cultivation of coconuts, the dried kernels of which' are called copra. From copra a valuable oil is obtained, used in the making of soap, hair, 60, cosmetics and AROUND TOWN Mrs. Joseph Dallaire and Mrs. John McCauley of Richmond, Ont., accompanied by Lawrence Dallaire and Gordon Lindsay, were week-end guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. R.

With three victories needed to clinch the five-game series, the I-aFave team has won twice and the Northlandera once. The end of the 16-game league schedule last week found LaFave's OrlU leading the drcut; Sun- mount, 2nd; Kiklevich Hotel, 3rd and the Northland team 4th. The Northlanders eliminated Sun- mount to win through to the championship series, 'and ' La- Fave's Grill disposed of the Kik- levich contenders.

Otborne Okays Nine Ski Trails in State Forest Area Friday Nine of 11 proposed public ski trails in the, Adirondacks and Catskills were \approved Friday by State Conservatiaq Commissioner Uthgow Osborne. At least half of them', he said, will be ready for use this winter- Seven trails *on which a hearing was held yesterday by the conser- vation department will. be built by civilian conservation corpi workers in th<5 Catskills and two In the Adirondacks In the Mount Mclntyre and Wright's Peak sec- tions, Osborne said. The approved trails, which total more than 40 miles, were selected, the commissioner said, because of their accessibility and because they will involve the destruction of few trees! Two other trails proposed for the Adirondacks were rejected, he said, because of their remoteness and the fact that they would necessitate chopping down numerous trees. similar preparations. Nominally under the rule of an officer of the U. \B. Navy who serves as governor, moat of the policing of Guam is in charge of the U. S. Marines. The sea sol- diers rarely have trouble with their native charges, who for the most part are law-abiding and are given the utmost liberty in the conduct of their affairs. Despite their temporary isola- tion, the Marines have no lack of amusement, and they go -in for swimming, tennis, golf and base- ball. They have even been known to play football under the palms. Sometimes their tours of duty have been varied by trips to Japan, and many of them see service In China before they re- turn to the United States. Visit- ing transports and- airlines help them to keep in touch with the homeland.
