frying the Sidelines
Ji'rl The decision to put football on the sidelines this year was a
'Vwlse ofte.
hlMMlr Although many of us thought several weeks ago that our
.4i!hools just had to have teams to be in the swing of things, it was
mostly the manifestation of that old pigskin magic which catches
yJyld of every red-blooded American about the first of Septem
; , ber. Emotion over football overruled reason.
2 Actually a clcarcut decision against football has come only
, : from Morehead City. Perhaps Beaufort still intends to field a
team. It has been reported that 100 uniforms have been promis
;!' ed Beaufort by Wake Forent. If so, that's reason enough end
Men some for beginning this year to get things in line for a
typ season.
l Reasons for Putting football out of the '48 scene in Carteret
it county are lack of players and lack of money. In our estima
tion the first is enough to cancel a pigskin parade. In high school
!;. money and "scholarships" can't buy players. If we had the ma
'l'. terial, we know the Jaycees would raise the money somehow.
But in this case, again it must be remembered that merchants
i'. will keep handing out money for this end that for only so long.
There is always the necessary initial investment, but there have
be some other returns from a football season besides display
sportsmanship and the old school spirit.
; To keep the number of injuries on the field at a minimum,
: the proper equipment is needed, but in addition, proper coaching
! is required too. Putting the boys into condition, teaching them
-!; how to run and fall, tackle and block without getting hurt can't
4' be done bv anyone who merely thinks he knows how.
We haven't heard much rah rah from school pupils them
elves about football. But they undoubtedly don't know what
they're missing because they have never experienced a football
season In which their own school participated. Football, more
than ?ny other sport, thrives on school spirit. If the kids aren't
out there cheering, the game, to the spectator, is about as inter
esting as a tea party.
Let rudimentary instructions in football begin this year. The
boys can learn to run plays, handle the ball, and physical cd in
structors can keep their eyes out for those who might make good
football material next year. Possibilities could be investigated
right now for starting the '49 Football Fund.
Show school authorities the physical material and the money
. . . how then can they say ho?
Vonngsters Are In lhe Streets, Again
j Since school has started again, motorists should keep their
I jjveather eye out for youngsters crossing streets and whipping
' along on bicycles.
Although bicyclists are to obey the same laws as motorists,
many children are not aware of this fact. They ride on the wrong
side of the highway, move against signal lights, use sidewalks as
. their hijhwoy, and at night probably think their vehicle is painted
with phosphoreseeht paint for they seldom think' it necessary to
TKjuip It with lights. meirt''-;:-'-
-f In case of an accident, the mdforlst Is always held respon-
aible. Slowing down to 15 miles an hour in the vicinity of a
IJ school and exercising caution nt all tim l iho hoot I
lj that the youngster attending school today will not end up in the
hospital tomorrow.

' JOURNEY JOTTINGS
j Arriving in the old home town
'on Sunday night, we spent several
idays visiting old friends. Time
had" wrought its changes in the
town as well as the absence of for-
'er friends by death.
Thoughtful friends took us on
many side trips which included
good dinners and amusements.
'.The highlight of amusements was
fan auto trip into Buffalo to wit
ness the play "Harvey" with
fFrank Fay in the principal role.
YiThis play was one of the prize
winners of recent years with I fun
f nearly five years In New York.
ll The old town of Warsaw Is lo-
ley, not quite as rugged a one as
i4he Wyoming Valley m Pennsyl
vania. Having been away from our
'tjljome for nearly forty years we
tieft it Saturday morning with a
weep feeling of homesickness
i which has prompted as to express
ourselves in verse:

Mary Ellen's little friends, In

the last minute they relented, and
invited her pfter all.
"Hurry, dear," urged her moth

no use, Mother," she explained;
"I've i-.lready prayed for rain."

Islands. For mile after mile the
river is dotted with ishnds of var

beautiful summer homes.
At Prescott one lenves the lake
streams for the river boat which
is built to run the Racine Rapids.
These are several miles in length,
giving one quite a thrill as the
boat tosses up arid down through
the angry waters.
The run from Kingston at the
mouth of the river to Montreal
takes a full day. With fine weath
