Local All-Stars Are Too Much For The Army's Court Unit Pap Dirai Scores Ten Points To Lead Local Com bination To Win The Williamston Mi-Stars, a cam bination team of the local Eagles and Martins, scored a 40-34 victory over the basketball team of Company A, 30th Engineers Battalion, of Ahos kie, in a game here last Friday night. The game was witnessed by a very small crowd. As usual, the slow starting locals were off to a poor start and at the end of the first quarter were trail ing 7-4, but the second period saw the locals hitting their stride and by the half they were in the van, 19-14 During the third period, with mostly Eagles in the line-up the lo cals outseored the visitors and built up a 32-21 lead, which was partly whittled away by the Engineers dur ing the last period, as the local de fense slightly crumbled, f or the visitors, Manager Ek, a ^^vutenant, was their best all-round performer and he led his mates at scoring with 13 points. This total gave him high scoring honors for the evening. Miller, center, with ten points, was next for the losers. TTie locals were led in sroring by Pap Diem with 10 points, and Jack Manning with nine, each playing less than half the game. Corey, with eight, was third, and Fitzgerald had five, to round out the "big four." Dawse Cook played a good game for the locals m his "Swan Song" per formance on the hardwood, as he leaves Thursday to perform for Uncle Sam.

The statistics for 1940, the last full year for which figures are available, show that out of approximately 44, 000 workers killed by accidents, only 17,000 died as a result of accidents on the Job, while 27,000 were killed away from the job?in the streets, at home, and in public places other than the streets. This means that three out of five fatal accidents to workers occurred off the job. While complete statistics for 1941 will not be available for some weeks, preliminary estimates which hereto fore have proved quite accurate, in dicate that the situation improved little, if any, last year. Apparently there was a welcome improvement in fatal accidents in public places other than the streets and highways 4 Htm k 0CC00****"*") 009 099 C0tT0Mt9t! ,R?poir? and occ?* fioriot now con bo bought on tho 3 0M4C PUM Don't put off noodod ropoitl j>M*' ??n 1 do without thooo oc coMorilt 'Vou olwoyt hoop otmilpJ i i ROANOKE CHEVROLET Co.

This is the final game of the season between these two teams, and should serve as the "rubber" game, as each team has won three games apiece. In view of this record, both teams will give an "all-out" ef fort to take this, the seventh game, in order to gain the vic tory edge in their friendly ser ies.

Burning Of Woods Is Expensive Way To Control Weevils Pests Hardly Ever Hibernate From Field Edges The burning of woods to kill boll weevils is one of the most expensive and least effective methods that a farmer can use. Boll weevils hiber nate in many places where they can not be killed by burning. Large numbers of weevils pass the winter in Spanish moss hanging high in trees surrounding cotton fields. More than 2,000 boll weevils per ton of moss have often been found. Clumps of grass and weeds along ditch banks, field roads, and at the end of rows afford ideal hibernating quar ters Many boll weevils hibernate in hay stacks and around barns, gins, outhouses, etc. Weevils also hiber nate in surface woods trash, but the records show that more than three fourths do so within the first 50 feet of the edges of woods bordering cot ton fields Practically none are found at distances greater than 150 feet from the edges of the woods. These facts point to the absurdity of burn ing large areas of woods and destroy ing valuable timber in thev belief that a large number of weevils will be killed. In this case the remedy is worse than the disease. Burning woods damages the tim ber ir.d kills the undergrowth and seedlings^-It-is also bad for the W'ilcL life and may lead to soil erosion. Woods fires often get out of control and larger areas are burned than in tended; and then too, burning the woods does not get rid of the wee vils. There are always enough left that cannot be killed by burning to start an infestation next spring, and if weather conditions during June and July are favorable for weevil development these will always in crease so that it will be necessary to dust with calcium arsenate anyway. It is wiser to encourage the growth of young timber and to systematical ly CUl Ana sen tnia in order to pur chase dusting machines and calcium arsenate than to destroy the timber by burning. The most important thing a farmer can do in the fall is to cut his cotton stalks as early as possible before frost so as to reduce the number of boll weevils that go into hibernation and survive the winter. The early fall destruction of the cotton stalks is more effective as a boll weevil control measure than the dangerous practice of burning woods. * Interesting Hits Of Business In the U.S. General shopping scorns to bo Bot tling down, but there's quite a rush on for refrigerators, radios, wash ing machines and ranges Customers are loss choosey about trade names, stylos and sizes in those articles; one Detroit store ordered many factory rebuilt refrigerators, some models as early as 1930, and did a very brisk business . . .

Michigan unemployment seems not as severe as was feared with stoppage of auto production? and CIO says it expects "total ab sorption" of auto industry workers into war jobs by mid-September. 1 Moderate bqt definite improve ments were apparent in the food sit uation of the United Kingdom from the spring of 1941 to the outbreak of war in the Pacific. and also in the number of fatalities in the home. Probably offsetting these improve ments, however, there was a drastic increase in the number of motor ve hicle deathse, and, it seems, even a substantial increase in the number of fatal accidents to workers on the job. This increase in occupational fa talities, however, is not expected to maternity upset the balance be tween accidents on the job and off the job. Safety specialists explained that accident prevention measures were instituted in industrial manufactur ing plants, machine shops and mines long before any serious effort was made to curb the motor car and cor rect general carelessness about safe ty matter*. As a result, the man on the job is closely protected by safe ty devices, educational programs, and hygenic working conditions in well managed plants. s-HEADACHE-% I When tout head achea and nerrae I |? rllf quickly, pic"-I I tnUy. with CspudliM.

"Almost nobody" knew trade. The Bishop's diary speaks of a section m the fool hills near "Quak er Meadows" as a "region that has perhaps been seldom visited since the creation of the world." While in camp in the three forks of Muddy Creak, he wrote: "The land on which we are now encamped seems to me to have been reserved by the Iv?rd for the Breth ren (Moravians)". There were "countless spring, and numerous fine creeks ' As many mills as de sired could be built, and when the Moravians came, they built them. Home Accidents Hit War Effort rhree Out of Five Meet Death Off Job; Auton And Falls Are Leading Causes Home may be a man's castle under >ur democratic system, but especial y in time of war it has a sizable acci lent prevention job to do in addition o its other patriotic responsibilities, leclares Kenneth N. Beadle, educa lon director of the National Conser vation Bureau, accident prevention iivision of the Association of Casual ty and Surety Executives. In the lame breath Mr. Beadle reminds us hat February and March are par icularly important months from the itandpoint of home accidents. Many of us." the well-known etiu ?ator continues." are busy as bees DUilding air raid shelters in the base nent, taping windows to reduce the langer~of flying glass7~stocking the it tic with rakes, hoes and buckets if sand, all in anticipation of an air ?aid without once giving thought to he fact that junior's ipnnr?nt foot ball or sister's rag doll lying on the iarkened steps may be the greatest ?ourcc of danger the family faces. "I do not mean to say that we should not take all of the precautions nentioned to protect ourselves if air aids should come. What I am trying lo point out is that most of our in juries are caused by the little, ob vious hazards. Even in peacetime we should be more careful about them. But in time of war we must be care ful, else the constant loss of manpow er may bring disaster on the military front." In substantiation of his appeal for increased vigilance around the home hearth. Mr. Beadle makes the sur prising statement that home acci dents are second only to motor ve hicle accidents in killing our citizens and that in the number of persons in jured they actually top the ill-re puted automobiles more than two to one. Mr. Beadle quotes the official figures for 1940 as follows: Motor ve hicles account for 36 per cent of the accidental deaths in the United States, while home hazards account ed for 34 per cent. In terms of per sons killed, 34,500 died in automobile accidents, while 333,000 died from falls, burns, asphyxiation and other home hazards. As to non-fatal acci dents, automobiles injured 1,800,000 persons, but home hazards built up the staggering total of 4.850.000 "We do not have the official fig ures for 1941, as yet." Mr. Beadle continued "But unofficial estimates, usually reasonably accurate, indicate that last year home accidents killed 32.000 persons and injured approx imately 4,700,000. True, these figures show a slight improvement over 1940 but it must be obvious to the most ingrained optimist that the loss of so many skilled hands strikes a ser ious blow at maximum production of war needs.
