OLD TIMERS SHOW
YOUNGSTERS HOW
TO “HIT THE HOOP”
The floor boards creaked and
joints squeaked as the old timers
of the B.T.’s galloped up and
down court in a masterful show
of strength and skill to edge out
the fighting 8th Graders 32 to 31
in last night’s exhibition basket
ball game at the school gym.
The 8th Graders took an early
lead and by half time the score
read 23 to 10. With their backs to
the wall the B.T.’s came storming
out in the second half and their
shots kept the hoop humming as
they clawed their way to within
striking distance. Then with one
final surge of power, swished in
the field goal, with seconds re
maining, that brought triumph to
the old guards of yesteryear!
The 8th Graders feel that the
last basket was just a lucky shot
and so they demand a rematch to
prove their point.
For the victors, Minnix scored
10, Warneke 10, Woodcock 6,
Craft 4, and Grinsell 2. Other
players were Martin, Emmons,
Morse and Monaco.
For the 8th Graders, the point
makers were Locke 12, Cannon
12, Adams 4, Nuipok 3. Others on
the team were Greene, Boucher,
James, Atuk, and Kugzruk.
In the second game the Alum
nae Girls downed a spirited High
School Girls “B” team 30 to 16.
The first half ended 6 to 3 in
favor of the High School but the
Alumnae came out strong in the
second half, scoring 27 points to
win handily. For the victors,
Marge Bennefield scored 12, Bea
Lee 12 and Jean Mogg 6. For the
High School “B’s” Lois Okitkon
scored 7, Grace Smith 5, Ellen
Saito 2 and Edna Johnsen 2.
On this coming Friday, league
play will resume with two games
in the close second half race.

B. C. Unemployed
March on Capitol
VICTORIA, B. C., UP) — Some
500 marchers, singing and chant
ing “We want work,” swarmed into
legislative buildings of British Co
lumbia on Monday in an unem
ployment demonstration reminis
cent of the 1930s.
More than 20 policemen were
on hand, but they weren’t needed.
The demonstrators were orderly
and spent most of their time but
tonholing members of the legisla
ture in a mass lobbying effort.
The delegation sought relief
money and a moratorium to pre
vent repossessing of homes and
property of the unemployed.
Georgia Cole, spokesman for a
labor delegation that met with
Premier William A. C. Bennett,
said later a request for 5 million
dollars “to assist the hungry and
destitute” had been denied and the
moratorium “is still unheard of.”
Cole asserted the Premier had
told the delegation “his govern
ment would do nothing to relieve
the unemployment crisis facing
British Columbia.”
Bennett was not immediately
available for comment.
“The issue of unemployment is
being evaded by our government,”
said Cole.
At Vancouver, an official of the
National Employment Service said
35,712 persons were registered as
seeking work January 3>1. The un
employed total reached 44,488 at
the end of January last year.

Russian Official
Declares Western
Weapons Outdated
By I. A. GOLDBERG
MOSCOW. liP — Soviet Defense
Minister Rodion Malinovsky told
the West yesterday its nuclear
weapons are outdated. He said the
Soviet Union has intercontinental
ballistic missiles that can deliver
hydrogen bomb warheads with
pinpoint accuracy.
The Soviet marshal told the 21st
Congress of the Soviet Communist
Party that the West wants to “un
leash war with nuclear weapons,
but this is an outdated means.”
“We have more perfected wea
pons,” he continued, “ballistic
rockets — long, middle and close
range — that can carry their hy
drogen charges to any point on
earth ... to the very point, for
they are very accurate.”
Then he sharply told the United
States:
“It is written very frequently
overseas that the United States
Navy is capable of landing troops
at any point on our coast.
“It appears to me that it would
be a good thing for those overseas
to give a thought about the vul
nerability of their own sea coast.”
His rocket claims echoed Pre
mier Khrushchev’s opening speech
to the congress just a week ago.
Khrushchev said the “serial pro
duction” of ICBMs had been or
ganized.
Malinovsky asserted capitalism
is marching toward its decline but
said:
“The imperialists want to stop
by force the progress of mankind.
They are continuing their prepara
tions for a new war and the use
of the most powerful weapons of
mass extermination — nuclear
weapons — and are threatening
with the might of their aviation
and navy.”
Malinovsky added that the
ICBM weapon is even more pow
erful than any now in conven
tional aviation and navy arsenals.
He warned the West: “Your arms
are too short, gentlemen.”
