Iacis&
fancies Ml
Though most milking to
day is done by machine,
in the days when cows
were milked by hand it
was usually done from the
right side. The reason is
that most dairy farmers
have been right-handed
since the dawn of the dairy
business. It's easier for a
right-handed milker to work
from Bossy's right side.
Makes no difference to the
cow, as long as the milker's
hands a rent too cold.
America'* dairy and beef
cattle are likely to be a lot
happier from now on. The
reason for this lies in plastic
ear tags that many cattle
are' sporting these days.
Hie new tags from Dia
mond Shamrock are impreg
nated with an insecticide
called Ectrin. Ectrin is lethal
to horn flies, face flies. Gulf
Coast ticks, ai)d Spinose
ear ticks, which bother
cattle, therefore, greatly re
ducing their milk and beef
production.

The first use of the term
"Old Glory" to designate
the US flag was made by a
New England seaman, Wil
liam Driver. Before setting
sail for the Orient in 1831,
he had the flag unfurled
and said, "I name thee
Old Glory!" The term caught
on during the Civil War.

Pembroke to Win

SKmiutto- Thruu ah four innings
of Pembroke High's
game with coefereece foe
West Brunswick Friday night,
Trojan pitcher Scott Evans
frustrated Pembroke, limiting
the Warriors to a pair of
walks.
The Trojans, who picked
up a run in the fist inning
when Adrian Johnson singled
to center field, stole both
second and third and came in
on a bad throw by Pembroke's
catcher, backed Evans with
solid defense. Evans had
recorded five strikeouts be
fore Pembroke's big fifth
inning.
Randy Jacobs, out on an
infield grounder his first time
at bat, had the first of three
consecutive singles that load
ed the bases. Evans retired
one batter on strikes, but then
gave up RBI-singles to Timo
thy Carter and Anthony Lock
lear before being pulled. Greg
Pickett was brought in from
center field to take over the
pitching chores and promptly
made his first mistake by
throwing a high fastball out
over the plate that Pembroke
short stop Devy Bell drove
over the left field fence for a
grand slam, the first of his
high school career and the
third home ran he has hit this
season.
Pickett gave up a double to
Pembroke first baseman Ste
ve Cummings, but got out of
the inning when the next man
up grounded to the short stop
and Jacobs went down on
strikes.
Warrior coach Ronnie Cha
vis' worst fear almost came
true in the bottom of the fifth
when West Brunswick re
sponded with four runs to
draw within a run. Starter
Perry Strickland had held the
Trojans to just one hit prior to
the fifth, but threw a wild
pitch on a third strike and
then gave up back-to-back
doubles. Strickland got a pop
%
fly to left field for the first out,
but the Tnfaos woe abie to
score because Pembroke's
Cleo lockleer caught the ball
on a dead run toward center
field.
An RBI single by West
Brunswick's Jeff Johnson led
Coach Ckavis to make a
pitching change. James Bird
came on to shut down the
Trojans by recording strike
outs wrapped around another
RBI-single, this one by catch
er Henry Crawford.
Though the rest at the
game was scoreless, it was
not without its tense mo
ments.
After setting down the first
two batters he fsced in the
home half of the seventh
inning, Bird gave up a walk.
That brought Crawford to the
plate and with the county at
1-1, Coach Chavis made the
decision to intentionally walk
Crawford in order to get to
Greg Pickett who had struck
out twice and walked once
earlier in the game.
That percentage move paid
off as Pickett took a called
third strike to end the game.
Strickland got the win to
improve his record to 3-2, 2-0
against league opponents,
while Bird recorded his first
save. The Warriors' overall
record climbed above the 300
mark at 9-8, while their
conference mark went to 3-1.
"Who widms to travsl far
spares his mount."

This being Mother's Day
weekend I would like to share
a poem with you written by
my sister Pamell Hunt.
11th month and 27th dav in
1980..."Thinking at Wort
About Mother"...There's a
little old house ...just over the
way,...That I think about from
Day o> day...Its not big or
fancy...but its filled with
love,...(he kind that comes
from heaven above...When
you enter the door...you get a'
big smile...And a welcome in
to stay for a while...The
chatter begins and you're
invited to eat...if you refuse
she says "Please Won't you
have some coffee and cake?...
It's just sweet bread, nothing
fancy, but filling...And if you
take her treat she'll offer you
more this time...A bigger
slice than you had before...
you can bet your boots if you
ever come again. You'll be
treated the same with that
same big grin..No, this house
is not special although,...I
love to enter in...You see its
not the house but the contents
therin...For it holds my
Mother whom I dearly love...
God gave me one like no other
bn earth...You see, Mom
you're special cause, I love
you, Parnell...That little
house stands as it did before,,
but the contents of our
mother...There lingers no
more...On a Saturday at 1:15
June the 6th of '82...God
called our mother to be with
him,...Yes, now I know our
mother can grin...Because
she's safe...Now her victory
she's won...Resting and wait
ing till that day when...we'll
all be together once again to
stay...l pray none of Mom's
family will have to hear Jesus
say,...Depart from me on that
Judgement Day.
JUST THINKING
In working in my yard today
my mind began to wander.
Back in 1968, a deed was
handed to me by a family
friend. Mr. Lonnie Locklear
was this friend's name. In an
open field, I decided to build
this house of ours. Never had
a flower grown in any corner
of this field. But soon one
morning to my surprise, I
looked and saw my mother,
coming fast, swinging hdP1
arm. Then I began to wonder.
What did she have in her
my husband It was a flower.
My mother had had it tacked
under her arm. She got a hoe
and began to dig. She pet
some rich dirt in and not only
did she plant that flower, bat
planted more and more that
summer. Each summer since
then those flowers have
bloomed and its a light and a
wonder.
1 pray as long as I shall live,
I'll see the work of my
mother. Dear reader, if you
have a mother, love her and
cherish her. You'll never be
able to get another.
Do you feel this way?
A Mother's Plea...Come
children..Come sit with me...
I'm afraid to be alone...This
suicidal state that I'm in ...It's
not safe to be at home...So
alone am I Please..Take my
hand...As I struggle through
life try to understand...I'm
not ready for the slaughter
house,..can't you lend me a
hand?...I can't count the
times I heard you cry,...And I
was there, and freely gave a
hand...Please, be patient with
me...I know I'm in this senile
stage and many times I fell...I
knew you when you were
small in frame and mind,...I
was always there and on
time...So please, be patient
with me...Can't you see I'm
lonely?...Please make me
smile,...Make life worth
while... Please, do it for me
while I'm living...If you give
to me like I give to you,...
When I'm gone, there will be
no need for grieving...All I
ask as long as I'm here...is
please don't treat me like a
dummy...Please hear me and
maybe when you're Old,
scale and poar, ...Some one
will say. Come be my friend...
I just can't leave you alone not
for a day...Yes, we are all
growing old and lonely...
Children, stop by your
mother's house today...
