Locals Are Not Consistent
?Even at Losing
Games
Although it is far from being fav
orable to the Williamston Martins,
it is a known fact, that a baseball
team can't win the Coastal Plain
Championship by winning one and
losing two out of three games.
Tli?' hurling corps of the locals is
far from top form, while, except for
certain spots, batting in the clinch
has not been any great benefactor
upon which to expostulate.
Anyhow, the Martins lost two,
while gaining one victory in their
last three contests The Saturday
game with Ayden's Aces was thrown
away by the pitchers. The Sunday
battle with the Aces was won by
tiie score of 3-2. Then on Monday!
afternoon, in a playoff of ji rained
out game with New Bern, the lack
of getting base knocks when they)
were needed, caused a 4-3 defeat
Thus, the Martins are now tied with
Greenville for fifth pia... the I
league standing.
loir Tllit in Hurting Dept.
Ayden knocked Pitchers Swain
and Harper for 16 hits last Satur-|
di.y afternoon and gained a 12-7 de-|
ci-ion over the Williamston Martins|
as a result.
Six of the local runs were scored)
with home runs by Ace Villepique
and Gene Marshall, two men being
on bases both times.
And yet, in spite of the fact that
the Marlins gathered twelve hits,
they couldn't find quite as many
runs as Bill Herring's Aces. George
Bowen led at bat with three hits for
four times at bat, being followed by
Marshall and Villepique, each hit-)
ting two for four.
? Wade
Oh Sunday afternoon just before]
game time, the Great Ignasiak was!
bumped on the head by a wild
throw, which knocked him cold for
some time. Finally Eddie shook it
off, and went out to play one of his
best games yet. After Wade and La
katos had singled, Eddie drove the
ball to the deepest part of center
field for a three base hit, knocking
in two of Williamston's markers.
Williamston won in a real thriller
by the score of 3-2.
in the eighth inning with the
score-tied at two-all. Gene Marshall
came home on a perfect squeeze
play, Bowen doing the bunting.
I-arry Wade, pitching his second
time before the Sunday crowd in
as many weeks, limited the Ayden
Aces to five hits, striking out five !

Thirteen Hits?Four Runs
While Blondie Wry was giving 13
hits in the game Monday afternoon,
he allowed only four men to cross
the plate, and yet, the locals seem
ed uname to solve the pitches ol
Buigeges and Bull Hamons, the fi
nal count being 4-3 in favor of the
New Bern Bears.
The Great Ignasiak continued to
but in his share of (lie runs, knock
ing in a pair. Ignasiak and George
Bowen were leaders at the plate
each getting two for four, Eddie hit
ting a home run.
Steve Lakatos featured afield for
the Martins, the second baseman
handling five put-outs and three as
sists without a blot.

Most County Home
Inmates Eligible for
'Otuside' Assistance
64 Per Cent Are Eligible
For Some Form of Fed
eral Assistance
.
Following a survey of county
homes of North Carolina, it has been
announced by the Division of Insti
tutions and Corrections, State Board
of Charities and Public Welfare,
that of a population of 2,811 in 84
such institutions during February,
1938, a total of 1,860, or 64 per cent,
"are likely eligible'for some form of
categorical assistance through the
federal social security program if
they are placed outside of the insti
tution."
In making his report on the sur
vey. Dr. J Wallace Hygard, director
of the division, urged the abolition
of county homes and the substa
tion of district ??hospital-homes."
"?The traditional type almshouse
?is out of step with modern public
welfare," he said. "It has been pro
posed that, for the county homes of
North Carolina to serve their new
functions- in the changing develop
ment of state and federal aid for un
employment relief and special forms
of categorical assistance, they should
consolidate into district hospital
homes to care for the indigent,
chronically ill and infirm. It was
the experience of other states that
through consolidation of county
homes into district hospital-homes
they provided better care and medi
cal attention at less cost than if each
county continued to maintain its
own institution."
The report showed that during the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1937,
there had been an average of 3,382
inmates of 86 county homes in North
Carolina. The cost of maintenance
and permanent improvements at
these institutions was 3948,229.61,
for an average annual per capita
expenditure of $205.47, or $17.29 per
month. The value of county home
property was placed at $4,007,706.81.
The highest per capita cost, the
report disclosed, was in Yancey
county, which spent $1,843.34 on
seven inmates, an average of $32.65
monthly. The lowest, $5.44 per
month, was in Bertie County, which
expended $4,367 during the year on
a population of 48. The greatest ex
penditure was $290,538.64 by For
syth County which Included costs of
permanent improvements. The low
est was $565 04 in Camden County
for six inmates.
Durham County, with 175,
ported the greatest number of in
mates, while the lowest, only two
was in the Mitchell County home'
Mecklenburg bad 165 and there
were 142 in Guilford.
Dr. Nygard said two county
homes had been closed during the
last year, and that consideration was
being given -to the abandonment of
three others in the near future.
In commenting on the proposed
hospital-homes, Dr. Nygard said:
To make the district hospital
homes possible, the counties will
have to take an aggressive part by
placing as many of their county
home inmates as possible on Old
Age Assistance, Aid to the Blind
Aid to Dependent Children, and oth
er forma of general relief. Smaller
county homes can close completely
by placing as many as possible in
homes of their own choice with cate
gorical assistance or other relief
measures and transferring the re
maining unplaceable inmates to one
of the larger neighboring county
homes on a cooperative arrange
ment as the North Carolina statutes
?provide. This whole plan depends
upon the support of the boards of
county commissioners. Many of the
commissioners have welcomed the
opportunity to reduce the popula
tion of the county home or to abol
ish the home completely provided
that satisfactory placements can be
made for the inmates outside the in
stitution.
"The capital outlay of the district
hospital-home is borne by the par
ticipating counties in the ratio of
MCh In the total population of the
district hospital-home. Local units
need not build new institutions for
this purpose as some counties have
fine county Mmes which, with mi
nor alterations and possible expan
sion, especially in introductions of
medical equipment and personnel,
can function in this capacity." 6

Hints On How To Thin
Trees In A Timber Stand
?
About 200 of the thriftiest, best
crowned trees should be selected
and reserved for the future crop.
Trees that interfere with these
should be cut out. The stand should
be thinned and weeded just the
same as a cotton patch. The best
timber cut should be lield -/or poles
and saw logs as this class of tim
ber brings from two to four times
as much as firewood. In all thinning
operations, cut out all crooked or
poorly formed trees as well as those
that are fire-scarred and diseased.
