John Sobey and Claude Mitchell, both Highland Parkers and memâ€" bers of the Sheridan Rifte club, reâ€" turned from the Wisconsin State Rifle Championship match with three medals each as place awards in individual events. The extraordinary and continued successes of these and other local riflemen has focused considerable atâ€" tention on the Sheridan Rifle and Pistol Club of Highland Park. The 1939 outdoor competitive record of this organization is unsurpassed by any other group of shooters in the Chicago area or in the state. ‘"‘School crossing warnings are among the most important which confront the motorist," George Barâ€" ton, chief safety engineer of the motor club, pointed out in urging drivers to obey the signs to the letâ€" On Sunday, September 24th in the Wisconsin State Fall Championâ€" ships, Mr. and Mrs. Spahr teamed together to place 2nd in the twoâ€" man team event, later firing on the Sheridan Rifle club‘s fourâ€"man team which also placed 2nd. Mr. Spahr finished 2nd in the grand aggregate next to E. L. Lord, former national champion. Mrs. Spahr placed in several individual matches to bring their combined medal awards, for this one match, to a total of eight. Assuming that he may be fortunâ€" ate enough to defeat Mrs. Spahr, it would appear that Spahr has a fine opportunity to win the State individâ€" ual championship being fired this Sunday at Fort Sheridan. Robert Spahr, of Highland Park, the Sheridan Rifle club‘s ace small bore rifleman. has climaxed a very successful outdoor season with sevâ€" eral sensational victories in recent matches. On September 10th, Mr. Spahr fired against Wisconsin as a memâ€" berâ€"of the winning Illinois State Small Bore team. On September 17, he won the Johanson trophy, an annual award for the high aggreâ€" gate score fired in the six matches held yearly in Joliet, Ill., winning simultaneously the trophy for the sixth and final match. On Septemâ€" ber 23rd, in a district match fired at Wheaton under artificial light, Spahr won again with a fine 399x 400 to outrank Mrs. Spahr by a narrow margin. Mrs. Spahr fired the same numerical score.

"Whether there are actually chilâ€" dren in sight or not should not afâ€" As to the objective, however, there is more or less complete agreeâ€" mentâ€"that the United States must keep out of this European war. Of the thousands who have written me only six have expressed the opinion that this country should, with her men and money, enter the war on the side of Great Britain and France. An additional few express the view that regardless of what laws we enact or what course we follow we cannot possibly avoid becoming inâ€" volved, particularly if the Allied powers meet with successive defeats; but, they state, it behooves us noneâ€" theâ€"less to make a real effort to stay out. There seem to be three schools of thought on the way to keep out of this war. First, there are those who advocate the complete repeal of all neutrality legislation and return to international law principles. This seems to be the policy which the President now prefers. It will be reâ€" called that in his message to Conâ€" gress in regular session on January 4th he stated: "We have learned that when we deliberately try to legislate neutrality, our neutrality laws may operate unevenly and unâ€" fairly ... " Likewise in his message at this Special Session on Septemâ€" ber 21st he laid much emphasis on international law principles and his recommendation to Congress was in the form of alternative plans. The leading spokesmen of this doctrine in the House has been Conâ€" gressman James W. Wadsworth, Republican, of New York. A few other members expressedâ€" the same thought during the debates on the Bloom Bill at the last session. It is, however, a decidedly minority opinâ€" ion in Congress and a decidedly minority opinion insofar as my mail is concerned that a resort to interâ€" national law is better than neutralâ€" ity statutes. "Children are apt to dodge out from between parked cars anywhere in the vicinity of schools, and strict obâ€" Save for these few letters, probâ€" ably no more than 50 at the most, the thousands of others on my desk indicate that the great mass of American people unequivocally beâ€" lieve the United States can avoid inâ€" volvement if we pursue the proper policy. But there is indeed a sharp division of opinion on what constiâ€" tutes this "proper policy." That is the difficult, truly grave problem confronting the Congress in Special Session as it takes up the question of revising our Neutrality Act of May 1, 1937. Secondly, there are those who adâ€" vocate legislation along the lines of the Act of 1937 but believe it should be changed so as to permit the shipâ€" ments of arms, munitions and imâ€" plements of war to beligerents on a "cash and carry basis." In a genâ€" ter. ‘"Their appearance should make Since the President‘s call of the Special Session of Congress I have literally received thousands of letâ€" ters, postal cards, telegrams and petitions with regard to our foreign policy generally and the Neutrality Act specifically in the light of the war in Europe. To what extent this personal mail from constituents truly reflects the prevailing public sentiment in llinois I have no means of knowing. But of one thing I am certain. The communications from home definitely show there is no unanimity of opinion as to what our foreign policy should be, as to what course we should pursue. youngster‘s safety."
