ance was caried on the furniture and

A COMMUNICATION
To the Editors of the News Champion,
Republican and Gunnison Empire:
The American Legion as a body
wishes to call to your attention the
fact that there exists ir this city a
very serious spirit of disregard of
the courtesy and respect for the
country’s flag and the national an
them..
During the recent Loyalty Day cer
emonies at the city flag pole, it was
observed that a number of foreign
ers remained covered during the play
ing cf the national air and the low
ering of the flag. However distaste
ful such a situation may be, it would
be unreasonable to expect anything
different so long as some American
citizens are so indifferent to the prin
ciples of common courtesy as to fail
to uncover.
The schools have the responsibility
for molding the character of the men
and women of tomorrow, and it
should be borne in mind that a re
spect for things patriotic is one of
the essentials of good character. The
school children should be trained in
the observance of courtesy to the
flag and to the national air, at least
to the extent of standing still during
ceremonies.
This is not the first time that this
spirit of disrespect has been shown
at ceremonies, and a live editorial
on the subject would be deeply ap
preciated by the American Legion
and Ladies Auxiliary.

Commander, Bruce-Frew Post Ameri
can Legion,

CRESTED BUTTE HIGH EN
TERS INTER-SCHOOL CONTEST
The Crested Butte High School
has entered the field of competition
with the other high schools on the
Western Slope in the matter of in
tellectual contests
An effort was made to ascertain
our relative place in the sun when
Mr. Heagney carried four of his stu
dents down last week to enter the
contest being held in Gunnison, in
which nearly all the schools in this
section were represented.
Unlike most of the inter-schcol
contests, this was an occasion where
intellectual strength was to be mea
sured. After a series of examina
tions of the stiffer kind here at home,
the following persons won out over
their class mates and were chosen to
bear our colors at the Western State
College at Gunnison, May 11: Miss
Rose Gulliford, Algebra I; Miss Mary
Perko. History and Civics: Mr. Otho
Steinberg, Physics; and Mr. Orlando
Welch, General Information.
This is The first con Test of its kind
to be conducted on the'Western slope
and, naturally, the interest in the
outcome is keen. High hopes are held
out by our school-Tor the success of
our representatives, and expressions
of confidence in the ability of the
candidates in attendance from here

Band Concert
A concert will be given at the
Princess Theatre on Monday even
ing, May 14, by the band of the West
ern State College from Gunnison. A
concert similar to this was rendered
here last spring and all those who
enjoyed it then should bring a friend
with them next Monday. This band
is composed of young people from
all over the county and should have
the support of the county generally
in their efforts to earn their way to
the state contest to be held in Den
ver, May 18.
After the concert at the Theatre,
an orchestra will be furnished free
by the band to our high school for a
dance in the City Hall. The pro
ceeds from this dance will be used to
help defray the expense of the clos
ing events of school.
Sixteen Million Ounces of Stiver to be
Bought Under Pittman Act
Washington, “May s.—Director Sco
by of the mint announced Saturday
that only 16,000,000 ounces of silver
remained to be purchased unde.* the
terms of the Pittman act. He also
made public supplemental regula

chases, which he said were intended
to make certain that American min
ers receive the benefits of the act up
to the latest possible date.
The regulations, highly technical
in character, make few changes in
those already in force, but provide
that all deliveries to mints on tend
ers which have been accepted must
be made on or before October 1 of
next year.
Director Scobey said he would
make a public announcement when
the quantity of silver remaining to
be purchased under the act had been
reduced to 10,000,000 fine ounces.
