A1 has been Vacationing in Louisiana for a 'Honth. The game between Caromount i^nd Rocky Mount Mills on July iB, which was a replay of a game that was called for darkness with score tied, was a very hard one la lose. The boys had played ex ceptionally well, and then a very, Cery close decision ended the game in Rocky Mount Mills favor. To those of you who are not Seeing any of these games, you ®re missing some good entertain- 'Hent. Frank “Smoke Ball” Shelton pitched the Weaveshed to an easy '^ictory over the Foremen, but he ^ound the going not so easy when faced the Machine Shop. The Veaveshed won the game, not ‘before the Machine Shop had let it be known that they were on the iield. , i The hot weather, which took a iot out of all of us, also took sev- eral of the games which were Scheduled in the Interdepartment al League and tossed t oni, so o ^Peak, into the nearest shady spot. The City League schedule was Chair Cmpire cut short, and Caromount played Rocky Mount Mills one game to determine the winner of the first half. Rocky Mount Mills took the tilt, four to two. Two Caromount boys, Raleigh Evans and Ralph Morris, are now playing for the Jaycees. Raleigh incidentally, was in the Jaycee lineup in the first game of the second half, and helped to hand Caromount a surprise defeat. W. H. Hare, who played in one game for the Weaveshed, is prob ably the largest catcher in soft- ball; Hope I’m that spry at his age. The Rocky Mount All-stars, with several players from Caromount, made themselves known in the championship playoff of the North eastern District of the North Caro lina Softball Association, held in Roanoke Rapids. After winning two games, thy lost to Simco. Question Of The Month —If an umpire from Peachtree Street makes a player from Peach tree Street so mad that instead of popping to the infield, as he prob ably Would have done, he knocks it into the nearest corn field for a home run, who gets credit for the four-bagger?? The umpire or the player?? Morehead City Deep Sea Fishing By “Crow” Davis Paul Parker, Pearly Morris, John Gardner, Oscar Davis, Fon- zie Parker, W. L. Parker, Crow Davis and Jack Thompson from the Weaving Department; Jesse Baker, formerly employed in that department, and Frank Marx chartered a boat for a fishing trip, August 7. The group left Rocky Mount, August 6 about 11 P.M. Morehead City is 114 miles from the city limits of Rocky Mount checked by the speedometers of a Kaiser and a Mercury as a result of a $5 bet lost by Paul Parker and won by Pearly (Shopping Bag) Mor ris. Note: Pearly carries all of his fishing gear, towels, bathing suit, and snake bite medicine in a shopping bag. We arrived at Morehead at 2 A.M., ate breakfast at the Water front Cafe. The ham and eggs were excellent; but some of the fellows ate very light for fear of seasickness. Our boat was the Sea Raven. She was 54 feet long, 18 feet wide, and it was powered with a 150 Horse Power diesel and would do up to 18 miles per hour. On the deck was a large card table and* (Turn to Page Four) Troop 113 Attends Summer Scout Camp By (ieiie Ijanier The Boy Scouts of Troop 113 have returned from a recent trip to Camp Charles.

Gene Lanier was elected Patrol Leader and Dickie Edmundson, Assistant Pa trol Leader. The afternoon started with a medical examination for everyone, followed by a swim in the lake. The lake covers 53 acres and it is a good place to swim. We rest ed until assembly and then had supper. At Camp Fire we sat around and sang some songs until (Continued on Page Three) Safety Shoes Pay The protective value of safety shoes was illustrated recently when a heavy weight dropped on the toe of James Modlin in the Final Examining Department. Fortunately James was wearing a pair of safety shoes. The leather of the shoe was scuffed but no damage was done to the toe. Mod lin stated that his shoes were worth many times their original cost in this case. He recommends Safety Shoes highly.
