Durham's summer love affair with it's beloved Bulls of. the Class-A Carolina. League has been renewed", ! At first, it seemed like ;. the Bulls may have.' . become passe during the ; first three nights of the season opening series with Winston-Salem as( only, about. 1300. fans showed up. (Many minor ! . league cities would brag on these numbers, but Durham averaged well , over 2,000 per game last , season.) As it turned out, it was not the fickleness of the fans but, the unseasonably cold ; weather (in the 40's) that ; kept many away. Too bad, they missed three well-played games. . On the last night of the series (last Monday), the weather was beautiful and over 3,000 lively, fans were on hand. ; ? , Durham's historic ' Athletic Park has been : spruced up. The field is in great shape and new refreshments and ; souvenir stands have been added. The Bulls still play their exciting fast-paced brand of ball and this year they're laying down ; bunts! The Bulls this year are managed by former ma jor leaguer and last season's third base coach for the Atlanta Braves, Bobby Dews. Dews said that many of his players who hadn't played in Durham before were pleasantly surprised at the enthusiasm that the Durham fans showed (even on the chilly nights). "They were with us on every pitch," Dews said. The crowd, as usual, is it's interesting, mixture of blue collar workers, good old boys," profes sionals, soul brothers (and sisters), young, old, rich and poor. The Bulls will return home this" coming weekend and they will have a televised (WTVD, Channel 1 1) game during this stand. Check your .listings. So, if you find that' movies and other outings are too expensive, yet you're tired of being trapped within your home, then the Athletic Park is just the place for you and your family. I'll see you there!!! By the way, Durham won 3 of 4 games against Winston-Salem to take an early first place lead in the Southern Division. f , ' ' ; Vivt 4F 2 i"J Talking CIAA Softball Fayetteville State University Softball coach George Williams gives last minute in structions before a CIAA Softball encounter held recentty on campus to bis co captains.

Carolina, which has quite a variety of weather, especially dur ing the spring season, the weather service s, indeed invaluable in keeping, track of changing condi tions manny of which can be quite severe, Cheatham says that! "spring is a very tur bulent time of year. We; get many of our severe thunderstorms and tor nadoes during this period, the unusual thing about this spring is the amount of cold weather that we've had." Cheatham said that snow that many North Carolinians , were "treated" to on April 8 was caused by a low , pressure system that had swept out of the Rockies, ," moved southeastward to the Gulf Coast, then nor theastward. "In the winter, such a storm could cause heavy. ..." r .:,' snowiaus in pur region, r The mountains of North Carolina did receive as much as seven inches of snow from this storm." .' When asked by it is that localities such as Greensboro, Winston Salem and even Roxboro (30 miles north . of . Durham) often receive, more snow than the Triafiglc, 7 Cheatham : said, ''First snowfall is determined by where the "zero" or 32 degree (F) , high altitude line is." This line is found by sen-i ding up weather balloons ' into the air more than 5,000 feet in the winter I and early spring. When ! 1 Inw , nrACcuro veimt' come into contact with if the cold air. masses, this , line can determine where the snow wilt fall, as op- . posed to rain. - On April 8, the ' "zero", line reached as far east as Durham And that is why some parts of the bull Ciij received noticabie' saow while others very little or none 1 at all.
