IN NO-HIT GAME t Credit North Carolina with an other first: Governor Hoey is, we j believe, the first governor ever to ! participate in a no-hit baseball game during his term of office. Governor Hoey last Friday sstar I ted on the mound for t-he Demon Deacons of Wake Forest In their baseball season opener against Springfield College and tossed a perfect strike to the first man up,: Heftier. Springfield first baseman. From there on three Deacon hur lers determined not' to be outdone by North Carolina's 62-year-old] Chief Executive, held the Spring field batters helpless and hitless and won the game, .12-0. i Many who observed Governor Hoey in action in the box were sur ' prised at his convincing wind-up i and his Ifawless handling of the i ball, surmised that he must have | played considerable basebuil iu , earlier years. As a matter of fact', j His Excellency's baseball 'experi ence (mu? )????' limited to rock pas ture baseball played with boyhood friends at Shelby. "When I was growing up, boys | didn't play baseball very much," governor Hoey explained. "I don't > think Shelby even had a high School team in those days, and if they had I would not have played iccause I had to quit school wht'ii I I was twelve years old. I did. how ever, play a HWle with my chums i round the town, but it was very 'little. We played mostly iu a pas jture, without benefit of gloves, and ! usually with twine hall. It was i tun. though." >IHS. Kll.ltV HOSTESS Mrs. V, U. Ktlby was hosti ssto the Cit ltent Literature Club on ruesday afternoon. Tlie program of study for tile afternoon was "Russia."

MKKTS Mrs. Wall, district, cnairman oT "the Parent-Teacher Association was the guest speaker at the monthly meeting of the Bunn As sociation on Thursday night, March 23. With Mrs. Wall at this meeting were Mrs. J. F. Mltcli iner. county supervisor of public health and Mrs. Holcutt, district chairman of Mothers' Singer. After the presentation of "On vthe Road to Mandalay" by the B?y's Glee Club. Mrs. Mitchiner whh i]i t>rod need to the association by MrsVvS. B. Nash, the president. Mrs. Mjtchtner explainud her work in the county and gave the dates of the various ^Jinics which will be held in Louisht|rg for school children. Concluding her talk, Mrs. Mitchiner 'expressed her ap preciation to the Bunn P. T. A. for the cooperation they had given her in planning the health prtH gram for the community. Mrs. Wall who spoke on the purposes and objections of the Parent Teachers' Association was introduced by Mrs. Mitchiner. In her talk Mrs. Wall stated that the primary purpose of the associa tion was one of study and infor mation while the' raising of money was secondary. In a very interest ing manner she brought out that through study, the parents gain a knowledge of the relationship that should exist between them and their children. Parents must learn to speak the same language as their children, for if they do inot they will lose the confidence of their children and will not know what they are thinking and doing. To keep the confidence of the children parents must keep , abreast of the times thus prepar ing themselves to help children 'with any problem. i "One of the greatest objectives before tihe P. T. A. In North Caro lina today," Mrs. Wall said, "was the legislative problems asking , for the twelfth grade, the restora tion of teachers salaries, morn busses, Improved secondary road* * and immunization against diph theria. Though some of t?he tm I provements asked of the stat? j have not been gained, Mrs. Wall ; encouraged the Association to ! work to bring these about next (year. After Mrs. Wall's Instructive talk Mrs. Holcutt invited the Bunn Association to Join the Mother's Singer's group which meets monthly In Henderson.
