VISITING CITY Mrs. Evelyn Ballentine and son, Larry, and Mrs. Mary Thomas and children of New York City were recent visitors Your professional beautician knows the answer... Can your hair be damaged from brushing, alone? All heir becomes damaged from exposure to sun and natural elements. Certain greasy compounds and many chemicals, im properly used, also take their t 011... not to mention simple at tempts at beautifying the hair with any brush not made of natural bristles. The results are brittleness, breakage, dry and dull looking hair. Your professional beautician knows how artificial bristles actually brush away a great deal of the “lubricants" of the hair that give it body, lustre and protection. And trained beauticians claim that nothing beats Clairol* condition'’ Beauty Pack Treat ment for overcoming brittleness, dryness and breakage ... leaving hair lively and easy to manage, condition 81 is an easy-to work-with creme which can even be applied during a chemical straightening retouch to prevent drying of hair that has been previously relaxed, condition * is the ultimate in repairing deep down damage. And, when time is a factor for their customers, hairdressers turn to new Clairol® Hair Dew*—the lotion condi tioiser that penetrates so fast many think of it as an instant conditioner. When applied regularly by your beautician, Clairol Hair Dew adds body, softens and gives a glowing new look to your hair that many friends will notice arid admire.

Lorenzo 1 Sanders is president. Some of Raleigh’s old timers 1 will remember the name of one Miss Gladys Hill, who former- 1 !y lived on Garner Road.

What their new names are, I can't say. They were called home on account of death in the family. They now make their ' home in East Orange, N. J. They are the sisters of Mr. Thomas Jackson, E. Lenoir St. ’Tw-as nice to see Joe “Ten derlea” Watkins back in town recently. Believe it or not, he did not get out of town without seeing Hal “Smoke” Syms, That brought to mind most pleasant memorial of the Old Twilight League. Joe was a member of the South Park Hornets and a ver>* valuable man he was! Hal was manager, pitcher and catcher for the I d 1 e w i 1 d Pan thers and a very valuable man he was. Something went wrong in the South Park Wig Warn one time and Joe Watkins, de pendable third baseman that he was, decided to join the Idle wild Panthers and Hal Syms against the Hornets. Needless to say, Idlewild won the ball game and Idlewild was most de fiant against the League. At that time “Sktnk” Brown ing was president of the League. He called a meeting of the man agers and owners to work out the difficulty. The managers w’axed hot and heavy and got nowhere fast. Browning thendis missed the managers and called for an executive session. No managers w'ere permitted to at tend. It w : as decided that Joe Watkins was the property of South Park, that he had to be returned and the game awarded to South Park. This momentous decision saved the League and v it survived the depression. Dally, thousands of people could be seen at Old Diamond and the West Raleigh field in Oberlin, St. Augustine's College Athletic Field in Idlewild; Buckeye Field in South Park, behind Washington High School, near Jamaica Drive for Fourth Ward and Berry O’Kelly Field in Method. This prompted the New York Daily Mirror to write that the Twilight League in Raleigh, N. C. is the best organized Negro League in the world.” It was! With such managers as Berry Wilcox at Method; Hubert “Hea vy'’ Towns at Fourth Ward; Hal Syms at Idlewild; Vernon Hester at West Raleigh; Alton Taylor at South Park and .Joe Wilder at East Raleigh, the old Twilight League operated out of the pockets of the own -1 ers and yet at the present we 1 don't have a closely knit, or ganization for sports anywhere around. I’ll admit that nobody had a whole lot of money, but it sure was fun everyday in the various sections of the city. - Come home again, Joe. Many yarns have been spun about you' I saw Mr. Allen Brew’er, former Raleigh Gray catcher, down on W. South St. last w’eek. “Al” was looking so much bet ter. Let’s hope he continues to improve.

Miss Mary Bryant, Montague Place, had the unique pleasure of hosting her son of her form er employer for just a few days before his wedding date. She had been his governess in in fancy.
