The Sunset League has the good wishes of many as It starts Its second quarter cen- lury. i' HVRKE Johnny Burke died In the ser vice of his country in far-off Cen tral Africa, To those who love him, who knew him, it does no seem possible that he can be dead was so full of life and vitality 10 self-confident, so typicall American, It did not seem as I death could touch him. In a way, Johnny Burke was symbol of the young America tha Is fighting this greatest of a wars. He loved life. He had muc to live for.

Still, he knew i that th things he loved and Ihe things wanted to-live for were at stak He was willing to iacrifice his ow life to keep those things sa: and sacred. Much could be said about him as a golfer. His skill had brough him into the top ranks In tha sport. In competition, he was cal and courageous. He had the flgh ing heart of champions.

Much more, though, could said about his spotless sportsma ship. From his caddy days to years of championship his modes and courteous bearing made him beloved figure no matter where He had the happy faculty attracting and keeping frienc and a large gallery always followed in his footsteps when he played. When Johnny entered the army, he teed off in the greatest-game that time has ever known. The fairways of the world stretched out In front of Thaf' final eighteenth hole lay in the hazy distances of anothec continent, Dimly he must have realized that death played with him stroke for stroke in that filial, fatal match. Just how Johnny died Is not 'known at this writing.

Those who loved him, who mourn him, those who knew him and played with and against him know one thing They know that he abided by the code of the game of golf. He played right for the pin. Only in this case, the flag on the pin was the Stars and Stripes. He shot straight and true for the flag. FOR TRAM SERVICE It Is to be hoped that the Hous naval affairs sub-committee on congested areas that has jus closed two days of hearings her will be able to bring about som resumption of passenger train sc-r vice lo and from Newport.

The need of such service wa emphasized by ranking officers the navy in their testimony Chairman Ed V. Izac and his Con gressional group.

This work has been authorized by the School Committee. It Is a very worthwhile and one that parents should appreciate. There Is no attempt on the part the school authorities to take over control of the health of the children.

The examinations are for the purpose of providing a continuous record of the child as he goes through school, so, that help can be given the parents In eliminating any possible causes of disease or other difficulty the child may have. In this way, troubles that might be serious are caught 'at their start, when it Is possible to take prc ventive measures.

There appears to be a sound policy on the part of the School Committee behind this. When a boy or girl is graduated from a Newport school and receives a diploma, It is an Indication not only of mental growth, but also of physical well-being.

It goes without saying, of course, that everything possible is done to Instill those principles of character without which other growth would be of no lasting value.

The State Council of Defense has asked for volun. teer workers to assist in handling distribution of both the applications and the No. 3 books. Office workers with some experience in this type of work are preferred. According to OPA, applications will be placed in everybody's mail box between May 20 and June 5.

Householders will be asked to send them to a central mailing center in Providence between June 1 and 1C. The No. 3 books will be distributed by mail in late June or early July.

As far as local opinion is concerned, every effort seeais lo have been made to get passenger trains back, but they all have been met with the same response, lack of equipment, poor condition of the tracks, need of repairs to the bridge across the Sakonnet, and so on. All of thi3 may be true.

Just to help keep up the spirits of the men through allowing them to visit out of town more. readily as well as to make it easier for their relatives and friends to come to them here, the deixand should get attention.

The workers at the Torpedo Station and on government projects, of course, needs that have long been recognized. Chairman Izac went to the heart of the question when he said it Is necessary to strike a balance between transportation and housing. Solving the transportation problem, or even making It less pressing, would help housing. They Interlock to a considerable degree. Every weekend thousands of men In the armed forces here are at liberty.

Newport has bee fortunate to have in the very center of the city a place where baseball fans can go every evening and see contests of such fine rank. The fact that the city has such a league has not been brought about accidentally. It is the result of years of hard and conscientious work, of difficulties met and surmounted, of long hours put in by officials who have devoted themselves loyally to providing the city with good, clean amateur baseball. hey sowed the seeds of hatred.
