^ A beautiful Armed Forces Souvenior
Book, illustrated in color, has just been
^sued by the Manufacturing Division
of Marshall Field and Company, for all
men and women in the Manufacturing
Division who enlisted in the services,
members of their families and present
employees. It is a book that families in
the Tri-Cities will treasure for years
to come.
A special section of the book is de
voted to military decorations, service
and campaign medals and shoulder
sleeve insignia reproduced in color.
Photographs of more than 1,000 service
men appear in black and white. Much
credit is due those who originated the
idea and spent long arduous hours col
lecting photographs and information
and did the planning.
It is a valuable issue not only because
it contains the pictures of most all ser
vicemen formerly employed by the
Company, but it is a book of the times.
It is history, a memorial to those who
gave their lives, and a tribute to those
who remained on the job to produce
material for the armed forces and to
those who have done more than their
share in the fox-holes around the globe.

YOU
It isn’t the money you make.
It isn’t the clothes you wear.
It isn’t the skill of your hands
That makes folks really care.
It’s the light in your eyes.
And the way you wear a smile;
It’s the cheer that you bring.
And the way you bear each trial.
It’s the way that you live.
And the way you work and play.
And say “How do you do’’
To the folks along the way.

1946 Carolina League
Schedule Approved
By The Directors
Tri-City Trips Will Open
Season At Martinsville
Wednesday, April 24
At a meeting of Carolina League
directors held in Burlington last Satur
day a 142-game schedule for the 1946
playing season was adopted. The season
opens April 24 and closes on September
9, giving a two-game increase over last
year’s schedule.
On opening day the local Trips will
journey to Martinsville for games on
April 24 and 25. Friday and Saturday
of the same week, April 26 and 27,
Raleigh will play two games at the
local ball park.
P. W. Ziglar, business manager of the
local club, and Mickey O’Neil, playing
manager, represented the Tri-City base
ball club at the meeting.
The league harmoniously agreed to
raise the number of veterans on eacli
team from three to five. President Tom
Wilson, of Draper, who presided over
the meeting, was authorized to hire as
many as ten umpires. Thus the league
will have eight active arbiters with two
in reserve to jump into the shoes of
those absent because of sickness or
other causes. Also, Wilson was author
ized to appoint a publicity manager for
the league. This appointment will be
made at a later date.
After much discussion, both pro and
con, the directors killed the proposal
to raise the monthly salary limit of
each club from $2,000 to $2,200. Rudy
Knipe, of Raleigh, made the motion but
withdrew it after discussion.
Club leaders were given a 10-day
period of grace in which to re-arrange
schedule and make other adjustments.
Soon thereafter the 1946 slate will be
released to the newspapers of the state.

inventor whose birthday anniversary
will be observed Februray 11, at one
time was talking to one of his assistants
who expressed amazement that Edison
had made 50,000 experiments before per
fecting the storage battery. “Don’t you
ever have any results?” asked the as
sistant.
“Results?” replied Edison, “Why, man,
I’ve had a lot of results, I now know
several thousand things that won’t
work.”
Wife: “Honey, we lost half our kitch
en equipment when our country cottage
burned down.”
Husband: “Which v/as it—the can-
opener or the cork-screw?”
