The sec- jond quarter was an entirely dif- ! ferent story as the Comets started 1 to roll and outscored Wellington 23-11 to take a 34-30 halftimr lead. The Comets continued to go in the third period and piled up a 24-9 margin in that period. They sioweci down in the last quarter but camc out on the long end, 63.44) at the garne's end.

Found wandering around town in a dazed condition, he was first taken to the village jail and then to the hospital where .he died a few hours later. The only clue to his identity was the murmured name of Charles O'Leary. All leads to his identity have so far proved valueless. Approximately 55 years of age, he had no iden tification of any sort on his body. Photographs and fingerprints were taken by the sheriff's department in case a chance of learning the man's identity should ever appear. Rev. C. C. Vandersall conducted the burial services at the grave. Burial was under the direction of the Zilch Funeral Home. A. Nabakowski left Saturday on a short vacation of two or three weeks at Hot Springs, Ark. The three crews were headed up by Harry Earl, Roy Stevens and W. J. Durling. Twenty-two high school boys assisted the men by going to every house in town to collect the clothing. Trucks were donated for the drive by the Amherst Lumber company, the A. Nabakowski company, and the U. S. Automatic corporation. Packing of the garments was Sirica m me Boa.nidsium ui uic Congregational church as soon as tne urst collections were in. Assisting in the packing were either had the clothing all ready Ior collection or naa tanen me bundles to the various depots, Although no quota had been set, the national goal was at least one garment for every person. Including the shoes, bedding, yard goods, and stockings (too numer- ous to tabulate) the Amherst drive exceeded the goal by a wide margin. Collection depots will remain jn the churches, schools, the post .office, and the gas office in Am- hcrst, and in the various places jn the outlying districts, until the end of the month. No further house-to-house canvass will be made but all clothing left ini the depots will be picked up. The largest, single contribution came from one home where the workers were given 96 garments, 22 pairs of shoes, and 24 yards of material. Other large contributions helped to swell the total collection, Zilch said. Zilch expressed appreciation for the help given in the drive and for the cooperation of everyone in the community.
