Dixie. Alabama ranchman in the off-months, ex plained that he was busy as a bee. that there was little time for sleep after attending to his cattle business and herding players from the four corners. At the present time I am on the fence with several trades, and I win wan a ifw aaya before giving the low down on the club as it is shaping up to date," Parker said in his letter, pledging his cooperation in keep ing the fans posted on all his activities as 1 1 they relate to base I Dixie Parker ball "You know this is going to be a tough assignment I'm having to go from the bottom to the top. There are about thirteen ball players to sign, and they are hard to find. They want a great deal of money, so one can see it's really tough," Parker wrote. Continuing he said, "It would have been wonderful had we not had to make so many changes in a single season. However, I feel hopped up over what I have and if the fans will only bear with me I'll do my utmost to get a good hustling bal 1 club. They hustle. I can excuse an error and' overlook mistakes, but I hate a loafer." The new skipper pointed out that he was pleased to be working with the president of the Martins, Mr. J. Eason Lilley. "He seems so willing to help me and I do hope and pray that I can bring him out close to the top both in the league standings and fi nancially," Parker added. The new manager is expected to pull away from his moorings in Green Pond. Ala., within the next few days and visit Mr. Lilley here for a general confab on the baseball situation. l-H Calendar For Year Is Announced Dates of events important on the North Carolina 4-H club calendar for 1940 have been announced by L.

Perfect New Method For Making Mirrors For 105 years the principal tool jn mirror-making has been a big white China pitcher, identical to thoae which graced bedrooms in pre plumbing days. From it the silvering solution is poured by hand onto the glass. This method is still used by almost every one of the 500 Ameri can mirror manufacturers. Last week William Peacock, of Philadelphia, started his first vacation in ten years. All that time he had been perfect ing a process which would banish the old pitcher from its final haven and for the first time put mirror produc tion on a streamlined basis. A spray gun that can silver a 12-foot square of glass in ST seconds, compared to a half hour for the pitcher method, is the answer. Glass experts say extension of the process will produce truer Image-re flection and, by lowering manufac turing costs, will aid expansion of the quality mirror market, especial ly with regard to low cost housing. *Pap" Diem Leads Martins to Victory Over Crack Rifles One of the Bent Games Seen Here During Current Season The crack Huntington Rifle club basketball team of Newport News season here Sunday afternoon when they went down before a determin ed team of Williamston Martins by a 32-25 count. The game was wit nessed by an enthusiastic crowd which turned out to see the Martins try to avenge a recent defeat handed them by the Riflemen over in the Virginia city, and they were well rewarded as the Martins bottled up the invaders supposedly high scor ing machine, which was made up of some of the best players in the Tidewater area. The locals got the tip-off and in about a minute they were off with a 2-0 lead, from which point they con tinued to stay in the van all the way, the lead varying from two to ten points At the intermission the Martins held a 16-11 advantage. Play throughout the entire game was on the defensive side as each club displayed brilliant guarding, featured by several pass intercep tions. With only four minutes to go, and the locals leading by four points, the Riflemen seemed determined to put on a last ditch rally, but the Martins took care of that, defensively, as they nroreeded to do some rallying them selves and ran their lead tu a 10 point advantage. Even though Pap Diem was suf fering from a severe cold, he play -, ed his usual fine game and for about I the first time this season he was thel high scorer as he scored five field goals for ten points. Breezy Beaird, with eight, and Oscar Anderson, with 6, ranked next. Allmond, guard, and the Rifle men's scoring ace, lived up to ad yaiKv notice and dropped point* III III* team's losing cause The win was the twenty-ninth for the Martins this season.

Expanded School Lunch Program To Aid Smaller Units Small rural schools having no fa cilities for providing hot lunches to be given to needy, undernourished graded school pupils were brought under the new school lunch program this month when the commodity dis tribution division of the State Board of Charities and Public Welfare mail ed to school heads application blanks for requests of fresh fruits and other commodities that can normally be" consumed without cooking. State Director of Commodity Dis tribution, A. E. Langston, called at tention to the fact that a very defi nite limit is placed on the amount and kind of commodities available each month since purchases of the Federal Surplus Commodities Cor poration of excess foodstuffs are made only when the production of a farm product is in such quantities as to depress the producer's return be low normal or fair levels. Commodities allocated to schools may not be sold, traded or exchanged and must be distributed to the chil dren daily only in such quantities they may normally be expected to consume. Langston said. Education al establishments having facilities to provide hot lunches for the under nourished children were not eligi ble to participate in the expanded program, the director said. North Carolina's quota of needy, undernourished children to come un der the 1939-40 school lunch room program was set last fall at 150,000 pupils, three times the entire num ber serviced during the preceding school term.
