BARIUM-MEXINGTOSr GRIDIRON GAME TODAY For the second time this season, the Barium Springs High-Lexington High football game has been forced to postpone Its game because of inclement weather and bad conditions of the Cecil Field at Lexington, where the game Is scheduled to be played.

which was originally be played on Friday afternoon, October 9th, waa postponed to Wednesday afternoon, December 2nd, but now the game has been postponed until this afternoon ('Friday) December 4th, when an attempt will be made to play the game, which is an important one, as It has a final bearing on the final standing of teams in the South Piedmont High Conference. A win for Lexington will give them a tie standing with the powerful Children's Home eleven of WInston-Salem and will force a play-oft for the conference 1936 grid championship between these two elevens, while a victory for the Barium orphans will knock Lexington! out of a chance at the conference championship and give the Barium lads second place position in the final standing of teams in the loop. Had the game been scheduled last Wednesday afternoon for Sloan Field at Barium, the contest could easily have been played as ftield is a grassy one arid drains readily after heavy rains and the melting of enow and aleet, but the Lexington Field where the game is scheduled to be played Is a red clay field and after rains and other elements have descended upon! Cecil Field at Lexington, it becomes a sea of mud and morass.

But that conception of the Azores Is expected to change materially with the selection of Ponta Delgada as a port of call by one of the transatlantic steamship companies. Octanic islands have always had a fascination for the land-bound, and their popularity seem never to wane.

Few people realize the extent of the Azores. The entire group comprise some 922 square miles with a population of over a quarter of a million. Like the Bermudas, the Azores are of volcanic origin and have the legendary appellation as remains of the lost Atlantis. On approach the island oases an unreal, mirage-like appearance, but the illusion is soon dispelled by hundreds of tiny boats whose olive-skinned occupants call to one another In a resounding chorus across the Ponta Delgada.

The town is a paradise for the modern painter. Ire every direction houses, streets and luxuriant vegetation compose themselves into a perfect picture. The bright white light and the sharp, brilliant colors of carts, flowers and native dress form a harmony that challenges the imagination. There is nothing of the resort about the Azores. Hotels are simple and inexpensive, as are also the native wines, luscious fruit and the copious meals.

It is Interesting to find that the natives speak English, for atone time these! waters were the whale- flehdng and sperm! grounds whew New England and English whalers came and spent their shore days with the natives.
