What's In A Name?
Plenty-especially if your
name is Smith. According to
the Veterans Administration,
Smith is the most popular
(310,000) among veterans in
the VA's master index file of
names.
And, if you are John
Smith, W. R. Phillips, Man
ager of the North Carolina
VA Regional Office, reports
that you are one of 13,310 in
its file.
The Johnsons (202,700)
not only are keeping up with
the Joneses but are far out in
front. In fact, even the Wil
liam ses-- with 150,020 -are
ahead of the fourth-place
Joneses, who number
145,180. In fifth place are
the Browns with 144,000.
Phillips points out that
with more than 31 million
names in its master index
even somewhat unusual
names may be duplicated
many times. ,
While there are only 10
veterans with the name Abra
ham Lincoln, the VA file
contains 1,640 Robert E.
Lees. There are 44 Ulysses S.
Grants and 496 George Wash

With more than 95 million
pieces of mail being received
a year, the VA needs positive
identifying information in in
quiries from veterans and de
pendents, Phillips said. To
help the agency respond
promptly, he urged veterans
and dependents always to in
clude the veteran's full name
and file number.
Every veteran who has
ever applied for a VA benefit
of any kind has such a file
number, but if the number is
not known, or If writing
about an insurance question,
the veteran should include his
insurance number.
If the veteran has neither a
VA file or insurance number,
in his letter he should Include
his date of birth, social se
curity number, branch of mi
litary service, dates of service
and military service number.
When veterans or their
families write the VA they
should direct their correspon
dence to their local VA of
fice-not to the VA Central
Office in Washington, D.C.

Vance County Wins In 1-A Playoff
NORLINA ? Bill Elling
ton'! sacrifice fly to deep
center scored Lawrence
Floyd from third bate with
the winning run as Vance
County nipped previously un
beaten Gaston, 3-2, here Fri
day afternoon to win the
District Three 1-A baseball
playoffs.
The victory lifted the Cou
gars into the state 1-A quar
terfinals.
Vance County's winning
tally in the bottom of the
seventh came as a result of
Floyd's leadoff single. Kade
Spencer sacrificed Floyd to
second. Bob Moore, who re
placed loser Charles Clayton
on the mound after Floyd's
single, uncorked a wild pitch,
allowing the runner to take
third.
This move set the stage for
Ellington's timely sacrifice
which gave the Cougars' the
win and upped their season
mark to 15-1.
Wayne Ellington, a hard
throwing southpaw, stymied
Gaston on only three hits in
Ring Your Own Bell
A man returning home in
the early hours saw a notice
on a factory door. It read:
"Please ring the bell for the
caretaker?"
H? gave the bell a terrific
pull, nearly dragging it from
its socket. Shortly a sleepy
face appeared.
"Are you a caretaker?"
asked the man.
"Yes," came the reply,
"What do you want?"
"1 just want to know why
the dickens you can't ring the
bell yourself?"
recording his ninth win of the
season without a lots. Elling
ton kept the Gaston batters
off stride with his blazing
fastball and tantalizing assort
ment of curves, and in the
process whiffed 15 Gaston
battels.
Ellington has fanned 134
batters in only 74 innings of
pitching. The tall lefthander
has allowed Ave earned runs
in the 74 frames.
Gaston scored single runs
in the first and second inning
for its only two runs and
closed out its season with a
17-1 mark.
Vance County got its first
two runs on a throwing error
and singles by Wayne Elling
ton, Jackie Burnett and Pet*
Newman to tie the Kore in
the fourth inning.
