National Guard and American Legion Post No, 47, for their deeds of kindness and expres sions of sympathy during the ill ness and death of William E. Riddle. THE RIDDLE FAMILY. By EDWARD S. KITCH CHICAGO (AP) ? When Dave Kaiser kicked the winning 41-yard field goala in the waning seconds Of the Rose Bowl game to give, Michigan State its 17-14 victory over UCLA, he kicked what may be known as an nonfumble football. A new type football was used throughout the Pasadena fiesta as well as three other holiday games, inlcuding the East-West game at San Francisco, the Blue-Gray All Star game at Montgomery. Ala., and the Senior Bowl game at Mo bile. The new sticky cover on the football is the result of three years of research. Its built-in grip, spe cialises say, is different from any type ev.er made. Paul Christman, who once tossed "em for the Chicago Cardinals and who has been named to the Na tional Football Foundation and Hall of Fante at New Brunswick, N.J., says "it's just what the* game needed." In a test, Pitchln' Paul, now a manufacturer's representative, gripped that ball and held ii free while 15 pounds of weights were attached. He was able to grip the ball long enough to demonstrate its nonskid feature. It is one of many tests product researchers Jack HSvey and Arch Turner con ducted for a Chicago sporting goods firm. The cling on the ball is possible by a new tanning process that per meates and gives a tackiness to the pebbled cowhide'leather. Its maker says it will never wear off and per forms in wet Or dry weather. The Player notices a traction that makes the ball cling to sleeve and body of his uniform . jersey. Called "TD" leather, the ball did not see action in a single 1955 game. However, teams in all sec tions of the country received sam ples during the season for testing in intrasquad scrimmages. It is scheduled to make its official de but jn the regular 1956 season. Tied To Resignation BUENOS AIRES (AP> ?

Antonio Carcamo, ex-president of the Bank of Santa Fe Province, admitted he "put pressure" on Venaneio Valliriain, manager of the Belincue bank branch, be cause Valliriain wore a red tie after July 26, 1952. For weeks after Eva Peron died citizens were exhorted to wear black ties in mourning. Cowboy Checkup AMARILLO, Tex. (AP) ?

The Indian drama usually opens on Saturday night, following a dress rehearsal on Friday night for guests. White explained, but this year there will not be a dress re hearsal performance. ? Not too many changes are being made in the drama for the current season, he pointed out. The Association which sponsors the drama, is building concrete block dressing rooms, to replace the temporary wooden building which has been used since the drama began. This, together with a new water line will represent an investment of about $45,000, White said. This year the drama will be ad vertised with additional highway signs, and more emphasis on local advertising,^ie pointed out. White, in making his report to the Western Carolina Associated Communities, said the starting of a new drama at Gatlinburg could cut down some on attendance of those patrons coming in from Gat linburg. He cited the advance sales of tickets at Gatlinburg as the hghest in the area for "Unto These Hills". No Stripped Gears DECATUR, 111. fAP) ?

"Are you supposed to do that?" she asked. Sample Will Test Acidity Of Your Soil By ROBERT SCHMIDT We hear a lot about certain plants requiring acid noils?for ex ample, ataleas and camellias?but most gardeners have no Idea of how acid the soils should be for such plants or what the present acidity o* their soil is. Most North Carolina soils are quite acid In reaction unless lime has been applied during the process of cultivation. Therefore the acid loving plants such as azaleas, cam ellias, hollies, blueberries and na tive wild plants will often do quite well in our yards without Jprther treatment However, if they do not thrive, or it is suspected that the goll is not Scid enough, a soil test j should be made. Your county farm agent Is prob ably equipped to make a quick test for you or you may mail soil sam ples to the State Soil Testing Lab-1 oratory, N. C. Dept. of Agricul ture. Raleigh. N. C. Soil acidity tests are generally reported in terms of pH. This is a technical symbol used to denote the rela ti? acidity of the soil tested. A PH of 7 is neutral; anything above pll 7 is alkaline, and any reports below pH 7 denote acid soils. A soil having a pH between 6 and 7 is slightly acid, one with a pH be tween 5 and C is moderately acid, and one with a pH between 4 and 5 is very acid. Most of the above-named plants, camellias, blueberries, etc., do best In a very acid soil. On the other hand, most vegetable crops do best on soils with only a slightly acid reaction although many of them? tomatoes, potatoes, snapbeans, tur nips, and others ? will tolerate moderately acid soils. In order to reduce soil acidity use some form of lime ? ground limestone, hydrated lime or marl. Lime should not be applied to soils unless a soil test shows that the soil is too acid for the crops or plants to be grown. Beets, spinach, lettuce, muskmelons and celery will not make their best growth on soils which are more acid than a pH of 6. W. T. Kirkpatrick Dies At 83 William Thomas Kirkpatrick, 83, of Clyde, Route 1, died Friday af ternoon in a Waynesville nursing home.

Selecting Silver Means More Than Buying It I If you want to make a wise sil ver selection, you'll need more than the money to buy It. Pauline Gordon. State College extension specialist in housing and house furnishings, says that silver should have good balance and feel right when grasped In the hand. See that the design and edges of the handles, spoon bowls and tines of forks arc smooth. Blades of hollow-handled knives should fit accurately into the handles and all excess solder re moved. There should be no deep scratches or marks of any kind on silver. Look for the design that has lasting appeal. Monograming per sonalizes silver and makes more attractive a plain design. The style and number of letters should be suited to the pattern of silverware. You'll find it important, too, to buy quality ware from a reputable merchant. Bargain sales may mean a pattern is being discontinued. Your Income and amount of enter taining will determine the quantity to buy. Miss Gordon points out that the best care for fine sterling is daily use. It helps prevent tarnish and with the years yields patina, a soft silvery luster. Pieces should be washed promptly after each meal in hot, soapy water, rinsed thor oughly in very hot, clear water and then dried with a soft towel. Pieces should be rotated in use so that all will be washed regular ly and will acquire the same de gree of patina. And of course, sil ver should be polished whenever it needs it. U; Of M.
