The one in the post has a kohler engine, your link shows 562lbs where the new 250 is 501lbs so I think your link is the correct one. How in the world they could drop 61lbs, I don't know.
Looks like both engine machines weigh the same. Gesh that's heavy. The new 225 is 480lbs. Actually that's the one I want, 225. due to its size and weight. But if the used 250 turns out to be a good deal I sure would like it.
Thanks for the link, I couldn't find it for some reason, I was only finding the new model specs.

Yea, I am worried about weight somewhat. Thats why I was liking the new 225. I'm planning on going with an enclosed trailer with a 3500lb axle. But for now I don't have it.
It is a question of what to buy first, the trailer or the welder. There are trailers everywhere, I wanted to get that first so I could be setting it up until I found a good deal on a welder.
If you are going to use a trailer look for tandem axle. You will be happier in the long run. I have a 6x12 enclosed & I was running consistantly at 3500-3700#. I always worried until I added a second axle. Now I don't think twice when I hit an unexpected bump/pothole in the road.MM250

I had an enclosed trailer with a 3500 pound axle and with all my stuff in it I was at 3800 I switched it to a 6,000 pound axle and cut out the tounge and reinforced it. That thing pulled 200% better after the new axle and I wasn't near affraid on a bumpy road with the 6 lug axle and 15 inch 2500 pound rated tires you couldnt tell the trailer was loaded up as much as it was. I used it for 2 years before selling it Very nice to all have all the equipment dry and out of the weather.Lincoln Vantage Kubota diesel 30 amp spool gun , Hobart 210 with spool gun, Thermal dynamic pak master 75, miller 304xmt all mobile all ready to go.
I know you guys are right about trailer size, weight and such. I would like to have a larger trailer but room around here is limited.
I'm going out on a limb just rigging up. My best shot at doing mobile welding maybe years away so for now I need to push forward with the idea but not break the bank and run out of room.
Just seen a Miller pop up. 0 interest for 12 months, better go read about that.
Well that was BS. 10,000 mininum purchase. 100 processing fee. 833.00 a month payment. I guess thats for the big boys only.Last edited by Hardrock40; 02-17-2013, 02:10 PM.
You may have to do what gmmandan above did. Find a trailer in the size range you want, and if it has a 3500# axle under it, upgrade it to a 6000# axle. It can get to be tough to keep the weight down when you are getting rigged up and can't account for what everything is going to scale out at in the end. Not to mention if your total tooling weight exceeds what the trailer is rated for and you have to pick and choose what to take and what to leave behind when going out on a job. You will invariably run across a situation where you will be needing something you elected to leave behind to reduce weight. Then you may have to make another trip home to get said tool that you at first didn't think you were going to need. You may also need to carry material for the job on the trailer, thus reducing the amount of tooling can take with you. So I think it would be better to have a trailer rated for considerably more weight than just your basic needs for a job. That gives you more wiggle room when it comes time to add more tools to your set up in the future over what you think you need at the present time. A tandem axle trailer may be worth considering now, so you have more capacity built in from the start rather than having to upgrade in a year or two as your operations expand(hopefully in the future). So don't limit yourself to the 3500# weight rating right from the start without considering what your needs may be in the future. A heavy capacity trailer can carry a lighter load better than a light capacity trailer can carry a heavy load all the time. Just something to think about when trying to decide what trailer will fit your needs now and in the coming years.
Who knows, you may run across a good deal on a real good machine and have to pass on it because it would overload your light weight trailer that you didn't consider when trailer shopping.Last edited by Bistineau; 02-18-2013, 05:58 AM.
Bistineau. Thanks for the input. Seems even the larger single axle trailers are being built with 3500lb axles. Doesn't make much sense to me.

text: Huw, I've seen similar cases. A not-to-be-named company that I worked at decided to cut corners (and save cash) by purchasing a non-ECC cluster to expand their processing systems. Needless to say, jobs failed or returned incorrect results. All what you need to to do is multiply utlization ( > 90%) * number of CPUs (or cores, these days) and then divide by MTBF to find out how frequent these failures become. In this case, it turned out to be something small but very telling per hour across the cluster. And since the scheduler ran jobs in lots of 8 to 512 CPUs (some of which ran for days) and ran jobs across like nodes (we had many generations of similar systems, but most differed in clock speed, not to mention locality of data), all but the small jobs consistently failed on this cluster. Simple logic, but - naturally - something the authorizing manager didn't consider and managed to weasel out of. ECC + large systems = good. Derek R.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
There is sadly no shortage of Palestinian Arabs with an ingrained nationalistic motivation to harm and kill Israeli Jews. But for many others, there is another compelling reason to engage in terrorism: a steady salary.
An Israeli court this week charged two Gaza men with terrorist activity after they admitted to plotting to kill Israeli soldiers so they could collect a healthy Palestinian Authority salary while sitting in Israeli jails.
The economy is not healthy anywhere in the world. But with Hamas' mismanagement of Gaza (did anyone expect more from a recognized terror group?) and Israel's need to impose a security blockade, local unemployment rates are through the roof.
Salam Alsufi and Ra'ami Tayima knew that by joining Hamas they would get into the kind of trouble that would land them up in an Israeli jail. And that's just what they wanted, since the Palestinian Authority pays jailed Palestinian terrorists between 3,200 and 10,000 shekels (about $865-$2,700) per month, far more than Palestinian civil servants earn. Additionally, the families of jailed Palestinian terrorists receive tax breaks and free education.
With those kinds of benefits, it is little wonder that Alsufi and Tayima were anxious to get arrested. In fact, media reports suggested the two men became impatient with the orders given to them by Hamas, which included monitoring Israeli troop movement from a hidden position and killing any Israelis that entered Gaza. Instead of waiting, Alsufi and Tayima were caught cutting their way through the Gaza security fence in order to attack soldiers patrolling on the Israeli side of the border line.
The two men are now in jail, and, as they desired, will likely start receiving monthly payments from the Palestinian Authority. Most of that money is being provided by America and the European Union, in violation of anti-terror laws, though the issue has been repeatedly shelved by leaders on both continents.

BOSTON — Even though some indicators point to a possible improvement in the economy, recent surveys in the health club industry indicate that improvement may come slowly.
The International Health, Racquet and Sportsclub Association's (IHRSA) Monthly Trends Survey for September 2009 indicated that of the 54 U.S. health club companies surveyed, 53 percent had lower revenue from membership dues and fees in September 2009 than in September 2008. Thirty percent said that membership dues/fees revenue was up, and 17 percent reported it was the same for the month.
Non-dues revenue and membership accounts were down for the majority of surveyed clubs in September 2009 compared to September 2008. Fifty-eight percent of the club operators said non-dues revenue was down, 23 percent said it was up and 19 percent said it was the same.
The lower revenue may be one reason that IHRSA's "2009 Health Club Equipment Benchmarking Report" found that 45 percent of the 150 IHRSA club operators in that survey plan to order less new equipment in the next 12 months than they did in the past 12 months. Thirty-six percent plan to order the same amount, meaning 19 percent plan to order more. The 150 operators represent 400 facilities.
That's not good news for equipment manufacturers, considering the Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association (SGMA) recently released a report, "The State of the Industry 2009," which showed that commercial exercise equipment sales declined in 2008 for the first time in 20 years. In 2008, sales in this area totaled $1.04 billion compared to $1.15 billion in 2007. For 2009, SGMA is predicting a further decline to $934 million.

Dear Big Stink,
Today is your sixth birthday and you are such a little man now. Our constant mantra this year has been, "Think before you act!" But you just can't seem to master that impulse control quite yet. In fact, it's so rare for you to think first that you will actually announce it at times. "I *WAS* going to jump from that table to that chair, but I thought before I acted!"
You surprise me in the things you are drawn to (besides trouble). You love to help people and you love to get hugs and tickles. You love babies so much that you will stop and say how cute one is no matter where we are. You play really well with all the older kids we are with, but also equally as well with little ones. I love how gentle you can be.
Your Kindergarten year was wonderful. You excel at ever subject and are actually finishing up first grade work at this point. You pick things up very quickly and then move them further forward, concept-wise in your head. Amazes me how well you do this. I wish they could bottle some of that for me.
Your video games are a huge love this year. You love the Lego games for the PlayStation- Harry Potter, Star Wars, Batman, etc. You have a Skylander's game that you also love with figures that you collect. Very over my head, but brings you much joy, so that is all that matters.
Your big announcement being six years old this morning is that you can now go into Signa's top bunk. There is apparently a sticker up there that says you must be six to go on the top bunk. Apparently, Signa has held that over your head (figuratively and literally) for the past four years. Today, my little man, you may go into the top bunk. Enjoy!
We love you more and more every single day and are excited to watch you learn to think before you act over the next few years.
Love you, Bubbinator!

ADDISON COUNTY — New England's largest dairy co-op announced last week that it is phasing out use of a controversial bovine growth hormone that boosts dairy cows' productivity. Come August, Agri-Mark Inc. of Methuen, Mass., will no longer accept any milk from hormone-treated cows at its New England processing plants.
MIDDLEBURY — Leaders of Gov. James Douglas's hometown school board on Tuesday pulled no punches in panning the Middlebury Republican's recent request that communities freeze their per-pupil education spending levels for next year.

MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury Union High School girls' basketball team rode one offensive surge and a third-quarter defensive stand past visiting Vergennes on Tuesday, 48-30.
The win evened the Tigers' record at 6-6, a record that follows last year's 5-15 campaign and the 6-14 mark of the winter before.
By Andy Kirkaldy
It was one thing for the Middlebury Union High School boys' basketball team to crack 100 points against Montpelier earlier this year. The Solons are a perfectly competent (7-6 as of Monday) Division II Vermont basketball team and were willing, at least the first time the two teams met, to run and gun with the Tigers.

HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS — Few players divide the room the way Carmelo Anthony does.
To some, the New York Knicks' superstar is a scoring marvel to behold in a league that has always cherished guys who could put the ball in the hole at a record pace. Yet to others, Anthony is an elite scorer but little else and needs to expand the boundaries of his game if he wants to be mentioned in the same breath as friends and contemporaries like LeBron James, Kevin Durant and Kobe Bryant.
Of course, the right answer is probably somewhere between those two extreme views. Anthony is arguably the best scorer in the game today (he certainly looked the part scorching the James and Dwayne Wade-less Heat for 50 points in the Knicks' win Tuesday night on TNT).
But if he was a better rebounder, set-up man and finally "won the big one" then we wouldn't have anything to debate on Episode 111 of the Hang Time Podcast, where we also debate and discuss the Brittney Griner to the NBA (instead of WNBA … she's all for it, by the way) drama, the Mike Rice-Rutgers basketball flap, Shaquille O'Neal's retirement ceremony, our Final Four picks (GO BLUE!) and a whole lot more.
As always, we welcome your feedback. You can follow the entire crew, including the Hang Time Podcast, co-hosts Sekou Smith of NBA.com, Lang Whitaker of SLAM Magazine and Rick Fox of NBA TV, as well as our new super producer Gregg (just like Popovich) Waigand and the best engineer in the business, Jarell "I Heart Peyton Manning" Wall.

Evolution of the Cow
The cow is a simple animal that enjoys cow's of the opposite sex. They seem to mate quite abnormally often for a land-dwelling mammal. That is why we kill them for food. But really...where did they come from?! They eat grass and poop copiously, but why?
The Cow, I mean, What the Hell?[edit]
Many geologists are confused and baffled on the evolution of the cow. Ordinary bison, like the dairy cow, the heifer, and the bull have all been called into question on their existence. Cows seem to feel no physical pain, no mental pain, and are aggravated or frightened instantly by a firm, steady glance of "you look tasty". However, if let to be on their own in the wild, the cow would forget how to eat grass and revert to drinking other cows' urine as a lost train of thought and would not lay down for the lack of cow shit in the wide open desert where it would be most likely stranded. These things seem to not add up with other evolutionary advanced organisms, such as the common red squirrel. The red squirrel, when threatened (and hungry), will typically attack their enemy with a devastating force and chew off their gonads. This states in their dominance as a "Higher Squirrel", and so the other intelligent life forms, such as the Six-Foot Baby tend to stay away from them. Even with the behavior and high intellect of a red squirrel, the typical dairy cow would not survive much more than a full minute unattended by a loyal farmer wearing suspenders made out of haywire. The reason being that the cow would begin to have brain lapses on when to breathe, when to think to breathe, when to think about thinking and put all the stress into the udder, causing milk to be produced until it explodes to when the cow has burnt enough brain cells to open its mouth to begin to breathe.
Beginnings of the "Bison Era"[edit]
30,541,124.75846 years ago is thought of to be the beginning of the Bison Era. It is when the first bison walked the Earth. The first of these fowl smelling beasts was tall, very tall. It weighed between 14,000 and 25,000 pounds. It was the supreme ruler of the land it walked on (yes! It could walk!). It is what you and I would call the Calvinsaurous. Geologist Calvin first dug up the first bones in his backyard when he was 6. The first bones that were discovered resembled an empty Coke bottle, a couple of empty cans of Chef Boyardee, and two sporks (or foons. I don't care). Thought of as typical buried garbage, Calvin's Mom threw them away. Years later when he moved out of the house as a hobo, Calvin stumbled upon the remains on the side of the road and discovered BITCHES that the Coke bottle was a piece of a giant, stiff udder of an enormous beast. The other items were given proper names, and thus, the entire backyard was dug up to find similar bone structures, all resembling garbage that fit together perfectly to form the skeletal structure of the Calvinsaurous. You see the same similar structure in modern day cows served at McDonald's and other fine greasy restaurants.
Years later as more excavations went on it the surrounding neighborhood, more bones were discovered as mammals and looked more like a fat-pig-of-a-cow type of animal. These were thought of to be an evolutionary step
between reptile-to-mammal jump for the cow. These remains are said to be from 15,231,542.2151875125 years ago. Not much is known about this species of ancient bovine, other than it split into three species later on. One was the Rhino, one was the Pig, and one ended up as the Cow. The fat-ass cow grew minor problems from the start of its new domain and is said to be a miracle that it survived this era to be served as Big Macs and other assorted yum yums that we devour today. It itself served the same purpose back in these times.
Prehistoric Known Cows[edit]
Precisely at 3:47 P.M. Eastern time, 10:00 A.M. Hawaiian time in the year 3,000,000 B.C. (not B.C.E.), the not-so-mighty Crazy Cow was separated at birth from the traditional Archaic Wooly Cow. It was square in shape, therefore, it was not smart. It was possibly the dumbest cow ever born. This animal eventually turned cannibalistic and turned on its own parents, grazing on their entrails for days until turning normal and started raping other Wooly Cows to spread its genes. Later, it died a slow painful death unlike any other. The result was the Mighty Buffalo. Other mutated births were separated into the typical cow we know today, separated from the buffalo all together, because buffalo are cool and don't shart themselves. Lucky for us, the typical cows were immediately domesticated by ancient peoples know as Neanderthals. They pinned them in cages and slaughtered them when necessary for food, shelter, and ice cream. It eventually led to the extinction of the Neanderthal peoples, as ice cream gave them Hypothermia during the Ice Age. The trade was eventually taken on by Homo Sapiens, also know as Humans (us). We drank the milk of the cow instead of churning it in a bowl of ice like Neanderthals. This led onto our species thriving and the cow living to see another day.

You (hopefully) pull over soon as it's safe and get your spare tire installed. Next step is off to the tire shop to have your tire repaired. When they ask you what kind of repair would you like done, we really hope your response will not be "whatever is cheapest" or "whatever is fastest". A tire repair is a very important decision in regards to the safety of the tire so it's important to be informed. There are three main types of tire repair: Plug, Patch, and Plug-Patch. A plug simply fills the puncture with some material to make the tire air tight again from the outside. It is the fastest and likely the cheapest. Although a plug repair seals the puncture from the outside, it does not guarantee that the inner liner will be sealed leaving the potential for air to seep into the tire casing and even seep out completely. Also, when a plug repair is done, the inside of the tire is not inspected meaning there could be a hidden danger that you are not even aware of. A patch repair is the next step up in repairs where the tire is removed from the rim which allows the technician to inspect the tire's interior. This is important because there could be additional damage inside the tire that cannot be seen from the outside. The problem with a patch repair is that although it makes the tire air tight from the inside, it does not fill the puncture from the outside. This means there is the potential for small debris and moisture to get into this puncture and put stress on the patch repair and also to cause any steel belts to begin to rust and deteriorate. The highest step in tire repairs is the plug-patch and it is the only repair that we recommend. This repair combines the best of both worlds. The tire is removed from the rim and inspected. The puncture is repaired from the inside making the tire air tight, but there is also a plug that is pulled through the puncture to completely fill the hole making sure no small debris can enter and no moisture gets into the tire's casing. Now that you know what the differences are, you can make an informed decision to choose a repair that is safe and should maintain your tire's useable life without allowing any subsequent damage or deterioration.

Local startup crafts an app for craft brews
Anyone who's ever talked business with the owners of local startup Monk's Toolbox — Zac Harris, Adam Pryor and Jeremy Karney — knows of their passion for craft beer.
The three formed the company out of a desire to make their work something that they enjoy doing. That pact led to development efforts for software solutions that help startup breweries and bars with a large number of beers on tap by maintaining inventory, composing recipes and producing the monthly reports required by state and federal agencies.
Monk's Toolbox garnered a lot of interest when the team exhibited its ideas earlier this year at the Craft Brewer's Conference, a fact that shows the craft beer industry has reached a point of maturity that few could have predicted only five years ago.
"We want to work with passionate people," Pryor said.
The team's office at the Geekdom startup incubator, where Harris is also director of operations, is unlike the average office. Right by the door is a rack of beer tasting glasses, and below is a shelf stuffed with empty beer bottles ranging from Ranger Creek to out-of-state rarities brought back by participants of their weekly Fermented Friday bottle share and technology brainstorming sessions.
One of their six development partners is Branchline Brewing, who like many microbreweries, runs on a shoestring staff. The physical work of brewing and distributing beer is a time-consuming process, so the paperwork side is often a distraction. Having a system to help with that could save significant time and money. Brewer Les Locke has been guiding the Monk's Toolbox developers by explaining the nuances of production brewery operations. The company expects to release its first alpha test version in a little more than a month.
The other product, ontap.me, is a display to help customers know what's on tap at pubs. It's the face of Monk's Toolbox that most people will see. Development started three days before the Friendly Spot inaugurated its new 48-tap bar. Co-owner Steve Newman realized he had a problem: Customers had no good way to see what was on tap besides squinting at the closely spaced taps, so he asked Harris for help. Always up for a challenge, the chief monk started work on what has become the On Tap application, even before notifying Karney, the group's technical monk who manages the software development process.
The result can be seen on the four screens over the Friendly Spot's back bar that show the name, brewery, beer style and ABV of every beer on tap. Features are designed to take the guesswork out of ordering. The system can be dynamically updated from a web browser or phone app, so it's much easier to keep current than a printed list. Also, a phone app that will allow anyone to check what a bar has on tap is under development. For instance, visit ontap.me/friendlyspot to see a list of beers currently available (keep in mind the app's still in testing, but you get the idea).
Harris, Pryor and Karney are certainly fulfilling their mission to do something they like, and early indications are that craft beer lovers will reap the benefits at a bar near them.

Women, Hormones and HIV

Hormone Basics
Hormones are chemicals in your body that are carried in your blood stream and send messages between different organs. They are formed in glands and organs, and they control all sorts of processes in the body. Hormones have an effect on your growth, metabolism (your body's chemical processes), sex drive, and ability to have children.
Hormones and HIV
Studies have shown that HIV can affect the body's ability to make hormones and keep healthy hormone levels. There are many types of hormones. The hormones that seem to be particularly affected by HIV are the following:
- Estrogen and progesterone: female sex hormones that are made in the ovaries
- Testosterone: male sex hormone found in small amounts in women's bodies. Testosterone is made in the adrenal glands (located just above the kidneys) and in the ovaries.
- DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone): steroid hormone that may be connected with immune function and energy. DHEA is made in the adrenal glands and sex hormones are made from it.
Estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and DHEA levels naturally get lower as you age. Changes in one of these hormones can affect the levels of the others.
Some drugs that are used to treat HIV-related conditions can also affect hormone levels. These include:
- Cytovene (ganciclovir)
- Megace (megestrol acetate)
- Nizoral (ketoconazole)
Experts believe that hormones, especially growth hormone, are also connected to wasting and lipodystrophy, a group of fat-related body changes that appear in some people living with HIV (HIV+). However, more research is needed in this area.
Problems Caused by Irregular Hormone Levels
Changes in your hormone levels can affect many of your body's functions. Some of the symptoms that are caused by hormone level changes include:
- Abnormal menstrual cycles, possibly including early menopause for women living with HIV
- Weight loss
- Headaches
- Mood swings
- Depression
- Sleep problems
- Fatigue (extreme tiredness)
- Decreased bone density
- Vaginal dryness
- Decreased sexual desire
- Difficulty getting pregnant
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important that you see your health care provider, who can check your hormone levels and address any problems.
Women living with HIV who experience sweats at night may be misdiagnosed as having menopause-related hot flashes, when in fact their sweats may be the result of HIV infection and related conditions such as "wasting." Vaginal dryness can be mistaken for a yeast infection. It is important to keep track of your cycles and report anything unusual to your health care provider so that you can find the cause of your symptoms. For more information about menstrual problems and HIV, see The Well Project's article on Menstrual Changes.

1: Dark Lord's Reign
"Childhood days so sweet and tender,
"Memories" Ethel Kline
The night sky was stained ochre with the light of the capital city. The stars were drowned in a sea of false illumination as the Muggles raced through the busy streets, intent on their business and oblivious to the chaos about to befall a world they didn't know existed.
The centre of London was thriving with life. There were young adults going out on the town, whilst businessmen rushed for their taxis home. The West End was bustling in the pre-show hour, but folded within the grim heart of England's primary, industrious metropolis was a heart of darkness where magic thrived.
A man stood in the shadows of a grimy alleyway. Its walls were stained with neon scribbles, and rubbish bins spilled their detritus into the puddles on the ground. A red telephone box, battered with age, stood at the wall opposite him. He had been watching it for several hours. Dozens of people had used it, and time after time he had seen it slide downwards, vanishing from sight.
He shifted his weight; his black robes a mere extension of the darkness. A sagging cloth mask obscured his face. Two gaping holes were cut in the fabric, showing his eyes and the sallow skin around them. The only other flesh revealed was that of his hands. His knuckles were knotted, gleaming white in the gloom as he gripped his wand tightly and continued to wait.
Something flashed inside the phone box and he peered closer, raising his eyebrows at the small flower that had appeared. It was made of gold mist, a faint phantom of magic. Opening the box, he breathed in its subtle scent and watched as the rose bud opened, the petals fanning out before wilting and falling to the floor.
He'd been told to wait for the signal; he assumed that was it. Picking up the receiver, he dialled 62442 and waited impatiently.
'Please state your business,' the welcome witch's voice requested, filtering out of the air beside him. For a moment he appeared to choke; the fingers that held the receiver shook and he switched hands, wiping his clammy hand on his robe.
'Hello?' The witch's voice was impatient. 'State your business.'
'Avensis Melanor!'
The panes of glass in the telephone box door rattled from the force of his words, even though he only spoke in a whisper. He heard the woman scream as though in terrible pain, and shuddering, the booth began to descend into the darkness. He replaced the receiver, hearing the clatter of the little slot that deposited visitor cards, but there was nothing in it. Around him the earth slid past, until at last he could step out into the Atrium.
His footsteps echoed on the polished dark wood of the floor as his eyes swept the room. It was already full of people, sombre and androgynous in their robes that matched his own. More were joining them, stepping through the walls that the Cerebral's spell had made no more solid than water.
At last they stood, a collective of like minds. Distantly alarms were blaring, but they were of no more consequence than the buzz of a fly. He could hear the others drawing in their breath; he could smell the stench of the sweat upon them as they turned, as one being, to face their master.
One word was all they needed. The Death Eaters fanned out as the Aurors came running and curses lit the air. The fireplaces remained silent, with no one arriving or departing, and, one by one, the portals were caved in, closed off forever. The golden symbol had ceased to drift across the ceiling; it remained stationary, shining like the baleful glare of an eye.
The broken body of Eric Munch, the security guard, lay in the fountain, his clothes rapidly soaking with water as the pool turned pink. The gold gates hung from their hinges, the metal twisted and bent outwards by painful violation.
Voldemort looked upon it all with the expression of an artist appreciating his skill. With every fresh scream of the wounded or dying, his joy seemed to grow. Sweat beaded on his upper lip as his eyes glazed with passion. His crimson gaze turned to the woman at his side and darkened with triumph.
She looked soulless.
Her head hung limply, her glazed eyes staring at the floor between her feet. Her hair flowed softly around her head, the long, white waves ignorant of the laws of gravity. Her frame had become skeletal over the months that he had owned her. The ivory skin of her face and arms was marred with bruises, and cuts tore at her opalescent frailty.
At first the Cerebral, the creator of spells, had been fiery in her defiance. She spat and murdered his followers and thwarted him, despite the threats he offered. Now it seemed that her fire had died. She had stopped eating, as though she realised that there was no escape but death. Daily, one of his Death Eaters would force water and broth down her throat, but not too much, for with her weakness had come an unexpected occurrence.
Her magic had become stronger.
He leeched the spells from her, and she was helpless to stop him. There was magic of such devilish purpose; soul-snatching, earth-shattering and mind-destroying curses that had proved so useful to him. He preferred it this way.
He tore his eyes from her face as he heard his Death Eaters enter the elevator, ready to seek out the occupants of the other floors. No doubt the Minister had already been rushed to safety. It was of no matter; he too would be found and destroyed.
A Death Eater stepped out of the lift and walked along the dingy corridor of the Magical Law Enforcement department. There were posters pinned up to the walls; some were of sports teams, or a new Muggle film. There was a crude characature of the Minister of Magic, with the words "wanted for being inept" scribbled underneath it. The paper was crumpled as though it were frequently taken down in a hurry, but always replaced.
The cubicles were filled with the effects of the work place. Criminology devices were strewn across the desks alongside pictures of family members and stacks of paperwork.
A rustle made her jump and point her wand at one of the desks. As she watched a pile of sweet papers curled themselves into a ball and threw themselves into the waste paper basket. There was no one there. In fact, the whole department was deserted. Many of the Aurors had come charging down as soon as the alarms had sounded, and now most lay dead in the Atrium, but she had noticed a few were missing from the charge. She half expected one to leap out at her from the shadows.
She passed a sign that declared the area to be the "Wizengamot Administration Services" and stopped, listening carefully. Someone was breathing hard, gasping as they sobbed in fear. Peering beneath a nearby desk, she smiled under her mask and whispered, 'Aw, what's wrong, is the ickle girl scared?'
The girl was frozen in fear, her blue eyes huge in the darkness. Her hand was pressed tightly against her lips to stifle the sobs, but now it seemed she daren't breathe as terror overwhelmed her. Her badge declared that her name was Evette, and Bellatrix cooed at her gently. 'Come on, dear, come out of there.' When she didn't move, the woman's voice became more harsh and scraping. 'I said move!'
She reached out her hand and dug her nails into the young woman's scalp, dragging her out from her hiding place by her hair. The girl screamed and howled, clawing at her desperately, but a quick kick in the face sent her sprawling before a spell finished her off.
'Vermin,' the Death Eater spat.
The sound of hurrying footsteps and a slamming door caught her attention, making her look up and swear. She hurried along the corridor until she saw a door, still swinging on its hinges. Bursting through it, she half fell down the first flight of stairs before catching herself and looking out over the banister.
Someone else's footsteps beat a feverish staccato on the steps. She caught a glimpse of a green robe and a balding, ginger-haired head before she screamed, 'You won't get away, you know! We're everywhere!' A jet of red light spouted from her wand tip, lending the stairwell a hellish light, but it sailed past the man and struck the wall, melting the stonework.
Sweat trickled down her face as she gave chase, jumping from step to step, screaming abuse at her quarry. Distantly, she heard another door open and smirked, approaching it carefully. The fool—he hadn't made his escape, he'd trapped himself. What in heavens name could help him in the Department of International Magical Cooperation?
She burst through the door and collided with another figure dressed in black. The piercing blue eyes raked up and down her frame, and Lucius Malfoy's silken voice whispered, 'Playing with your victim, Bellatrix?'
'He slipped past me,' she spat, hating to admit it. 'Ginger-haired, going bald. Have you seen him?'
'Weasley? No, but I have his son. That will be what he's after.'
Lucius hauled a figure to its feet. The head lolled back, revealing a bloodstained face. His parted lips showed that one of his teeth had been knocked out, leaving hollow gums. His glasses had been lost in the fight, and his wand lay shattered on the floor, the pieces crunching beneath Lucius' feet. His robes were ripped and torn, as though he had fought hard, and a damp patch of blood on Malfoy's robes suggested he had managed to land a few blows—but it had done him no good.
'He isn't dead,' Bellatrix said accusingly.
'I'm aware of that, but I think you'll find it's to good purpose.' His voice changed, becoming silken and tempting. If Lestrange had been elsewhere, she would have found it attractive, but now, with the smell of death in her nose, it was nothing but sinister.
'Arthur, where are you? Your son is here, one of your precious children. Shall I kill him for you, save you a bit of money?'
There was no reply; the gloomy corridors remained blank and unyielding. There were so many shadows to hide in, mazes of passages that would lose any normal soul. The two Death Eaters looked around them, their wand tips flaring with light as they searched.
'Come on, Weasley, don't hide from us. Show yourself, or the boy dies.' The silk was gone; now the voice was barbed wire, all teeth and pain. 'Or we'll take him to Voldemort, is that what you want? For your son's last days to be filled with torture you can't even imagine? Are you going to let that happen?'
Lucius' laugh was chilling, and behind her mask, Bellatrix's eyes flickered with recollection of times past. 'I'll do it myself, kill him in front of you, are you ready?'
The wand tip was already sickly green, a chilling colour even to those who wielded it.
Arthur Weasley stepped into the circle of light, his eyes haunted, unable to leave his child's motionless face. He didn't even flinch when Bellatrix's wand stabbed into his chest. He moved as though he were numb, as though the world was a distant, impossible place and he was on the other side of a great divide.
Percy seemed to be coming around. His breathing was growing more uneven, and Lucius dropped him to the floor as though he were diseased. The impact woke him, but he did not move to sit up. His face was shuttered with pain as he stared at the two hooded figures.
The fear in his eyes almost brought Arthur to tears. He could remember a time when Percy had run into the kitchen screaming, terrified of the gnomes in the garden. The little worries of childhood were easy to wipe away, but now, as a man, he could see that Percy knew his dad couldn't make this all better. It felt as though he'd failed.
Bellatrix lowered her wand, giving a faint grunt of satisfaction as she kicked the prone boy in the ribs, removing her attention from Arthur to do so. She didn't see the older man lunge and screamed as his fingers twisted around her neck, throttling her from behind.
'Let us go,' he demanded, his eyes not leaving Malfoy's face.
Lestrange had dropped her wand and its lit tip spluttered against the floor as she thrashed around. Malfoy watched, his eyes lit with faint amusement. 'Kill her if you want, it will make life more peaceful. It really doesn't matter. You'll be dead in a few minutes anyway, and so will your boy. You and that hag of a wife of yours should have thought more carefully about money before you spawned so many. You should have got your priorities right.'
Bellatrix squeaked as Arthur's fingers tightened, her eyes bulging threateningly as her movements began to weaken. In that moment of breathless uncertainty, Percy inched his hand across the floor, taking a firm grasp on Bellatrix's wand and thrusting upwards, stabbing towards Malfoy's dispassionate, bright blue eyes. Their screams of pain filled the air as Lestrange fell to her knees, released abruptly.
The door slammed against the wall as the two men torn down the stairs, stumbling to get away. Words were left unsaid as the need to survive took over. Their joint breathing sounded loud in the close stairwell, and it was only as they were faced with the door to the Atrium that they paused.
Voices came echoing towards them, words overlapping and blending into one another. Someone was sobbing, deep gut-wrenching cries. With each breath they mumbled incoherently, and as Arthur quietly opened the door, he saw a familiar bowler hat, discarded on the floor.
The wreckage of the golden gates offered enough shelter to hide behind, giving the two Weasleys a clear view of the Atrium. Fudge knelt on the floor, visibly trembling. His pinstripe robes were tattered and stained with blood as he swayed gently back and forth.
Voldemort stood over him, his face twisted into a sneer, as though he were repulsed by what he saw. His voice was strong, that of a leader. It held no doubt as he spoke, as though he could see the future and was confident of its outcome.
'There will be nothing but anarchy upon your death. Most of your officials will lie in their graves and the country will be plunged into panic. Who will face me then, "sir"? Who will dare look me in the eyes?'
'The old fool is afraid. He knows what will happen, and he knows he has already lost. His age is showing, and with it, his weaknesses.'
'Potter.' The Minister sniffed and gasped a breath as the wand stabbed him in the cheek.
'He is a child!' Voldemort spat. 'He is of no threat to me. There is nothing in my way.'
Fudge carried on, the tears resting on his cheeks as he raised his voice. 'The boy survived the curse again; he's the one who'll do it. He'll spit on your grave and you know it.'
There was a short scream of pain as red light danced across the room. Percy, his face pale, tugged at his father's sleeve and motioned to a fireplace on the departure side of the hall. Only one remained whole, directly behind Voldemort's back, and the monster seemed completely mesmerised by the Minister's writhing body.
The flames were constantly active, the portal was open—if they ran, they could make it. There was only one Death Eater in the room, the sagging masked face staring at Fudge, along with the woman by Voldemort's side.
Arthur realised she was watching them, her dark eyes filled with tears. Her wrists were chained in front of her, but for a moment the sadness vanished, and something close to determination flashed in her gaze. Arthur pointed to the fireplace and she nodded, understanding his aim. She parted her lips and drew in a breath.
Her scream was terrifying. It was the worst sound anyone had ever heard, and as Fudge slumped to the floor, the green light of Avada Kedavra washing over him, it rose in pitch and intensity. It carried the grief and agony of thousands in its harmonics. It sounded demonic and unearthly. It made it hard to breathe, as all around her, the air seemed to tremble under the force of it.
Arthur sprinted towards the fireplace, his whole attention focused on the escape route. A spell hit him in the back, pushing him to the floor. Stumbling to his feet, he winced and continued moving, desperately aware of the dark shapes coming towards him.
The scream was cut off suddenly, and he heard a body hit the floor. He turned to see the woman on her hands and knees, blood pouring from her mouth. Voldemort's hands were curled into fists, and around him, like phantoms, were ranged his servants. Several held Percy back as he struggled, screaming for his father to go, but Arthur couldn't move. His heart was barely beating as the Dark Lord stared at him.
The wand was pointed straight at him. Part of his mind wondered at the ability for an inanimate object to be so threatening, but the dark wood shone in the dim light, reflecting the peacock blue ceiling. There was a vast stretch of floor between himself and Percy, and as he watched, the boy was forced to his knees.
'Will you beg for mercy?' Voldemort asked, his eyes narrowing curiously. 'Or will I have to force you? There's no escape, not whilst we have your son. I can't imagine a father who'd run away and leave his child to die here.'
'I wouldn't think any less of him for it!' Percy spat, only to be silenced by a smack in the mouth.
'How noble. I know a boy like that, too noble for his own good. He would give his life for the many with little thought for the few. Last time that was almost the case—are you going to go the same way?' Voldemort asked, his voice soft as his eyes focused on Percy. 'I've heard of your declarations about the boy's mental health and the threat he poses to your family, but now you kneel with pride in your eyes at the comparison.'
'I was wrong; he's different. Fudge said it a minute ago. He'll spit on your grave one day.' Percy's eyes flickered to his father and he squinted short sightedly. 'Tell Mum that I'm sorry.'
Arthur opened his mouth, but didn't have time to speak as the Cerebral raised her right palm to him. The spell was like a warm wind, pushing him backwards into the grate. The fire flared, flames engulfing him as the world began to spin. The last thing he saw was the curse light, and the last sound, the screams of his son, before the scene was gone and he stood, alive and safe, beyond the grasp of Voldemort.

Last month, Coffee Break welcomed Cindy Muchnick, educational consultant, author and former college admissions counselor, to discuss how parents can support their kids through the high school years. Muchnick, a mother of four, brought a wonderful sense of practical can-do philosophies for parents as we wander the ever-changing landscape toward college, career and life.
Before the speaker, Laguna Beach High School Principal Joanne Culverhouse introduced Naviance, the new online college search service provided at the high school. Naviance is a comprehensive tool helping each student through the entire process of self and career exploration and searching among nearly 4,000 colleges in the U.S. Yet, as parents were sighing over Naviance, Muchnick launched into her own divergent philosophy: When in high school, stay focused on the business of high school.
Muchnick warned that the college search can become a "huge distraction." She emphasized that one's high school years are the hardest four but that college is the prize, where all the hard work is converted into personal freedom to pursue passions.
Her entire approach is that high school is a student's job," and it is the student's responsibility to serve the interests of six to eight bosses, or teachers in the case of high school. Success should not be gauged by GPA as much as the more subjective goal of how one is doing at the job. Often parents who are competing through their children and pressing for the highest GPAs are adding unnecessary and unproductive stress to their kids' lives.
From the perspective of a college admissions counselor, Muchnick stated that the transcript is the single most important piece of paper in a college application. However, what is evaluated is far more nuanced than the GPA. First, the transcript is analyzed to see if the student really challenged himself or herself in areas of interest. Second the grade pattern from semester to semester is examined to see if students continue to work toward improving performance throughout the year, and finally the grade trend evaluates the trends through freshman to sophomore to junior year. Knowing this enables parents to frame conversations with their students in terms of trying to improve, whether in the year or from year to year.
Her specific recommendations for parental support:
•Contract with your kids to sit in the first three rows of class for the rest of their lives. Multiple studies have shown that teacher's focus on this area, and it is a way to jump-start the relationship between teacher and student.
•Extra credit is like free money. Don't leave it on the table.
•Create a study space at home that is free from the multiple distractions of earbuds, Internet and cell phone. Unnecessary distractions actually expand the time required to do homework.
•Challenge kids to develop relationships with their teachers outside of class. For example, show up at SDL on Thursdays, or say "hi" in the hall. There is only one chance to make a first impression, yet it's never too late to recreate self. It's documented that kids identities change fluidly throughout the high school years.
•Befriend the upperclassman; learn the ropes through their experience.
•Be a joiner or a leader. Parents can help brainstorm club ideas. One Laguna student had an obsession with Etch A Sketch, turned it into a club, then into a philanthropic mission and finally a killer college essay.
•For serious athletes, back off one practice a week to provide your child that extra two to three hour "gift of sanity." Use an academic explanation with upset coaches. Have kids handle it.
•Get a job to avoid an entitled, indulged attitude, which is especially important in a wealthy community. The job should be for money, require an application and be typical student work. It shouldn't be working for family or friends, or be boring, such as a clerk job. Work is also valued by colleges.
•Volunteer doing something you love, like teaching kids in the neighborhood. Often, volunteer work leads to an actual paying job.
•Spend summers wisely. This is evaluated by colleges. See Camps.com which is actually Yelped by kids.
•Find and pursue passions; be honest whether the passion belongs to the child or parents.
Muchnick concluded that it is important not to sweat the small stuff; be realistic, supportive and non-judgmental. Her demonstrated stance as an advocate and supporter felt like a reasonable, useful and attainable goal among the parents in the room.

College Wins First
Bethel College won first place in
the sale of Chirstmas seals in De-cember,
according to an announce-ment
sent to Helen Heitzman, Seal
committee chairman.
Boquets to the Lady with a Smile
"The rainbow is sunshine broken
into beauty by the storm." This is
the motto which appears on the
desk of Edith Larson, whose life
has ever radiated the glorious pre-sence
of the Lord Jesus Christ
just as surely as the rainbow has
reminded God's people throughout
the centuries of His unfailing love.
A former student once told
the writer that when she came
to Bethel she was far from
home and often homesick. She
confessed that she used to go
into the office for any trivial
excuse in order to see Miss
Larson smile at her and cheer-fully
say "Good morning!"
The homesick student was
never disappointed and some-how
it was easier to go on af-ter
Miss Larson's greeting.
Professor Omark in his Biblical
Introduction class the other day
listed as part of King David's
training the afflictions and perse-cutions
at the hands of Saul and
others and stated that before Da-vid
could rise he had to descend.

have been the sweet testimony she
is if it were not for the storms
which have broken into beauty the
rainbow of her smile. Nevetheless
I am sure that we all want to join
with countless students who have
passed through the halls of Bethel
in paying tribute to one who has
been an inspiration throughout the
years. How many of you know, or
have even guessed, that about two
weeks ago she fell and cracked a
bone in her knee and another in
her foot? Yet through constant
pain her smile has been just as
We pay tribute to Miss Lar-son,
our office secretary, who
has learned the secret expres-sed
by the poet:
"Them leaving all your weakness
With the One Divinely strong,
Forget that you bore the burden,
And carry away the song."

Aid Problems
After ten weeks of lessons, each
member of the First Aid Class has
received a certificate from the Am-erican
National Red Cross signi-fying
the completion of the stan-dard
course in First Aid. In the
next training period they will
learn to make practical applica-tion
of what they have already
At the present time actual First
Aid problems are given to the class
which is divided into terms of
three and four individuals. These
problems are worked out and pre-sented
at the next session—car-ried
through as if at the actual
scene of a possible accident. When
the problem is being presented by
the team, it is for the class to
critically observe the "first aiders"
and offer constructive criticism.
The instructor, Mrs. Anderson, is
a full-fledged teacher in First Aid,
having many classes during the
week. Under her able instruction
the students say they are learning
much that will be of benefit to

met last week to select a ballot

also made for the next Alexis

The program will be arranged
in such a way as to portray
the life of a chaplain in the
Army and Navy. The men who
have graduated from Bethel
and gone into the service as
chaplains are being asked for
suggestions. This should make
the resulting program worth-while
to one and all.

Page 2 THE BETHEL CLARION
A Biography of
Adolf Olson
Professor Adolph Olson is per-aps
one of the least known of the
faculty by the new students. Here
are some facts which will acquaint
them with him. He was born in
Floby, Vastergotlan, Sweden on
March 21, 1886. His father was a
farmer and Mr. Olson spent the
first seventeen years of his life in
those surroundings.
At the age of seventeen he came
to this country and the same year
he began a new life by accepting
Christ. Minneapolis became his
home, and interest in the Elim Bap-tist
Church proved a vital force in
his life. The Bethel Academy was
begun, and it was in this institu-tion
that he received his High
School education. For several years
he worked at the Crown Iron
Works in Minneapolis as a machin-ist.
To follow up his studies he at-tended
the University of Chicago
Divinity school, from which he was
graduated in 1912. It was during
his last year there that he taught.
The Bethany Baptist Church be-came
his charge where he served
as its minister from 1912 to 1919,
writing a history of the church
while there. During this time he
also attended Macalaster College
and was graduated with the dis-tinction
of magna cum laude in
1916. His B. D. degree was re-

ceived at the 50th anniversary of
our Seminary.
Professor Olson started at Bethel
in 1915 as an instructor in the
Academy and later was promoted
to Seminary professor. His main
subject was Church History, but
after the death of Dean Lagergren
he also taught Systematic Theo-logy.
The summers found him busy
with graduate work both at the
University of Chicago and the Uni-versity
of Minnesota. Besides these
accomplishments he has also been
active in Conference circles, serv-ing
as Secretary to the Minnesota
Swedish Baptist B. Y. P. U. from
1912 to 1920. He was one of the
workers responsible for establish-ing
the Assembly program in Min-nesota
in 1925. For three years he
acted as Corresponding Secretary
of the Minnesota Conference.
Mr. Olson has no definite hob-bies
though he enjoyed fishing in
earlier days, but as has been the
story before, the Lord revised his
hobby and it became his full time
work as a "fisher of men."
Biblical Biology
The world in which we live and
of which we are a vital part is
sadly in need of an anchor. Many
are the disappointments that have
s resulted from the attaching of our-selves
to that which "shall pass
Those enrolled in biology or zoo-logy,
will remember the words IR-RITABILITY
and TROPISM. Irrit-ability
is the response of proto-plasm
to stimuli. Tropism is that
phase of irritability in which the
protoplasm turns in some direction
in response to the stimuli.
The Greek word from which trop-ism
(tropa-turning) comes is used
but once in the Scriptures, James
1:17. Of God it is said, "with whom
is no variableness, neither shadow
of turning." That response which
is characteristic of living proto-plasm
is absolutely foreign to God.
Being the Creator He is outside
the influences of created forces.
To illustrate the contrast be-tween
God and ourselves, let us use
the types of tropism as discovered
by the biologists. To every type of
tropism there may be either a posi-tive
or negative response. So it is
said of living protoplasm that it
exhiibts either a positive or nega-tive
tropism, meaning that it either
Letters to the Editor
In desiring to better the policies,
conditions, and publications of
Bethel, we would like to have sin-cere
written comment by the stu-dent
body. We realize that there
are students who do not approve
of many things at school. Perhaps
by expressing their opinions, they
may aid the school in working out
sensible solutions.
Suggestions of public interest
will be published by the Editor.
For this reason we ask that they
be limited to 140 words. The let-ters
should be accompanied by
names which, however, will be held
in strictest confidence and will not
be printed if the writer so desires.
We hope this idea may be an en-lightening
and constructive means
of improving our school. Make
your statements reasonable and
true. Place them in Box 250 until
better facilities can be arranged.
turns toward or away from the
Geotropism is the first type men-tioned.
The prefix, geo, comes from
a Greek word meaning earth. The
plant demonstrates both a positive
and negative geotropism. The roots
go toward the earth, whereas the
stem always goes away. This is
also demonstrated in the Scrip-tures.
In John 3:31, "He that is of
the earth is earthly, and speaketh
of the earth." There are -people
whose predominant attraction is
evidenced by their earthly speech.
They naturally turn toward the
earth. Do the things we say and
does the direction of our natural
turning betray the predominant
force in our lives?
On the other hand, Phototropism
is the reaction of protoplasm to
light. John 3:19-21 beautifully
illustrates both the negative and
positive aspects of this character-istic.
We need not mention that
the Light referred to is God as re-vealed
in Jesus Christ. The men
whose natural tendency is away
from the Light and toward dark-ness
demonstrate the negative
phase. The life and limitations in-volved
in the Light are distasteful,
while the deadness of darkness
corresponds to the inate sinful de-sires
of the heart.
In contrast to the above are the
men who practice truth, who come
to the Light that their deeds may
be made manifest that they have
been wrought in God.
Certainly, we who profess to love
the Light will be found turning
to Him who is the LIGHT, that it
might be made manifest that our
actions, motives, and thoughts are
constantly radiating from God.
Space will not permit to mention
more of these tropisms, but cer-tainly
this is enough to make us
THINK! If we are continually
turning in response to something,
what is that something? Has our
planned future been according to
His leading or have we been moved
by some selfish motive that will
disrupt God's plan and peace which
we were to have experienced?
The Purpose of
Teaching at Bethel
Ever since schools have existed and even since students have attend-ed
them, there has been complaint because of work and studies. Not
satisfied with that, the complaints become howls at exam time when
what the students know or don't know is to be discovered. The essence
of study has become to learn "this" and to learn "that" in order that
one may "pass" the examination and get out as soon as possible.
To me this is a reproach to the teaching profession as a whole and
to our teachers in particular. The real value of school and learning
knowing how, rather than knowing what. Knowing facts is necessary
too, but only as a means to an end. Today the educational system's
fault is that students are crammed with "this" and "that" and then
turned loose to use it when they haven't been taught "how" or "why."
As H. S. Tuttle of the College of the City of New York says: "Knowledge
as such is powerless."
It is this complaint that many of the older students of our school
have voiced. They say: "If you memorize the book you can pass easily."
This criticism is applied to all our faculty here with one or two excep-tions.
Harold Speight in an article in Schools and Society on the "Criteria
for Teachers and Education," says...."the criteria call for ....reading
which goes beyond—specified assignments, self-directed work, and ex-aminations
which test the student's mastery rather than a mere mem-orization
of data." If our teachers are to be judged by our students on
these criteria, we would find the standards quite low. The teaching
method should not be one of "compulsion" but rather of motivation
and purpose".
Teaching a subject is similar to learning a trade. There should
be fewer tools and more practice, with most of the tools being obtained
when the practice is learned. Teaching is "preparing" not "filling".
We believe that is what we need here.

Those. Little Men cJlre Here
It seems that someone told the "gremlinettes" that Bethel was to
play Concordia the other night. Those sweet little things were there and
on time too.
At 8:40 P. M. when the Ref. threw up the first ball, the players went
into action. And to be sure, so did the gremlins. When the two centers
jumped for the tip off, about ten of the heaviest gremlins in the group
stood on Gordy's feet. The ball was tipped toward Shine but gremlin
kicked it and off it went via Mr. Grumm for the first two points for
How could Bethel sharpshooters_ hit the hoop against such odds?
The basket was full of the little workers of evil and they succeeded very
well in knocking all of Gene Johnson's long shots out of the ring. Every
time that Gozzle would turn and shoot, they would all come up out of the
nets and stand on the ring and bounce the ball off to the side.
Gus had just about the best nite of his career. Those sharp-nosed
fellows rode a rough ride on Gussie's shoulder. Some of them were
knocked off when he streaked down the center and broke in for a shot.
He had his troubles too. Just when he was set for a long shot that he
practices by the hour, a gremlin stuck his long bony finger down inside
of his shirt and tickled him so that the ball missed the backboard.
Shine Swanson was the victim of the most persistent of the little
creatures ever to come around Bethel. That little gremlin was always
sliding after Shine hanging on to his shoestrings and climbing up and
down his legs. He rode most of the night in his hair and when Shine
went to shoot, he insisted in having his finger in Shine's eye. The only
way that we can overcome these fellows is to get all of the people out
that is possible and then make as much noise as possible. There wasn't
enough noise at the last game to frighten the little fellows away but we
can win the next game if we support our team by chasing the gremlins
by a lot of cheering.

great powers as they emerged vic-torious
in both games over a well-organized
Northwestern Bible
School team.
The preliminary scrap between
the "B" teams of each school, wit-nessed
both teams playing a good
offensive and defensive game.
Northwestern took the lead at the
start, and was ahead 10 to 6 at the
first quarter. However, Bethel or-ganized
their men and led at half-time
by a margin of 16-15.
With machine-like precision the
Indians clicked in the second half
and went on to win the game, 32-
23. It was a hard-won victory for
at no time during the contest did
Bethel hold a safe lead.
High-point men were Paulson
and Lundh for Bethel with 13 and
12 points, respectively.
The feature game between the
varsity was just as thrilling al-though
the Indians played a faster
offensive game.
Northwestern jumped into the
lead early and had gained 6 points
before the Indians got a single
counter and ( (following their little
brothers) were leading 10-6 as the
first quarter gun sounded. The
second quarter was just as even
and ended in a 21-21 tie.
However, Bethel overcame this
tie to lead at the end of the third
quarter 32-24 and followed the road
to a 46-28 victory.
Swanson, with 22 counters and
Gene Johnson with 10 were high-point
men for the evening. Bye of
Northwestern was the only man to
leave the floor with four personal
As soon as I catch my breath
I'll start writing. Boy! !, that was
a close one, I thought for a mo-ment
that coach "let me show you"
Johnson was actually sending me
into the game to "do or die" for
Bethel! I almost died, my poor
heart nearly broke its moorings in
doing the Dipsy-Doodle. The game
is fast and close out there, how-ever,
so we might as well settle
down until practise tomorrow af-ternoon.
I'll tell you though folks, the gen-eral
lot of us bench riders is im-proving.
I bet next season that I'll
make the All-Conference team at
the rate Uncle Sam is going. There
won't be anything left but 4-Fs,
(and maybe ?) Disch, "Comrade
Bob" looked over the squad and
then proudly told his girl that next
year he would go out for the team.
Honest, its unscriptural what the
bench must compete with. Ima-gine,
having another ball handler
like Gene Johnson, we'll be just
like Thompson, and never get our
hands on the ball. Of course I give
that guy credit, no matter how bad
things go he just rushes all over
the court as happy as a lark and
singing—"You can't stop me from
Squaws Eke
Out Win
In a thrill-packed contest, the
Bethel Squaws eked out a 20-19
victory from a hard fighting Farm
School quintet. The game was a
preliminary tilt played on the lat-ter's
Bethel took an early lead and
managed to continue their fight un-til
they led at the end of the first
frame, 6-3. However, the powerful
Farmerettes staged a comeback in
the latter part of the half to lead
at the midway point, 12-9.
Then came a "nip and tuck" half
in which both teams thrilled their
rooters with "swishing" baskets.
Defensive play was tight and both
teams succeeded in checking their
opponents effectively. Appelquist
broke the Farmerettes' lead of 19-
18 by a last-minute basket to win
the ball game, 20-19.
Appelquist, although only active
in two quarters, shone as she pa-ced
the Squaws with 12 points
with Christopherson accounting
for six counters. Outstanding for
the losers were V. Held and M.
