A fan wants to know if a set of
twins ever played in the Coastal
Plain League. The answer is yes—
Elmo and Otto Patrick, who per
formed for the Kinston Eagles.
What was the longest losing
streak in Costal Plain history?
Well, Tarboro set a record in 1939
that nobody wanted to top. They
dropped 27 straight before defeat
ing the New Bern Bears at home.
Here’s another question from a
Mirror reader. Did any Coastal
Plain player ever get married at a
ball park? A Goldsboro catcher,
Bucky Overton, was hitched to his
beloved at home plate just before
the Goldsboro - Kinston game on
July 8, 1940.
Bridegrooms are notoriously nerv
ous, but Bucky proceeded to collect
two hits in three attempts, and led
his team to a 5-2 win over the visit
ing Eagles.
And now, for a final Coastal
Plain query. How many Coastal

Plainers, if any, played in a Rose
Bowl game during their college
football careers? There were
three—and all were outstanding
backs. Kinston’s Eric Tipton came
through with the greatest kicking
ever seen at Pasadena, for the Duke
Blue Devils, while two of the loop’s
pilots—Kinston’s Herschel Cald
well and Ayden’s Happy Campbell
contributed to the glory of Ala
bama’s famed Crimson Tide.
A New Bern resident, R. D. Bask-
ervill, has no trouble recalling the
Rose Bowl game in which Tipton’s
toe kept Southern California in
check until the final seconds, when
a substitute quarterback tossed a
touchdown pass to give the Pacific
Coast champions a 7-3 victory.
Baskervill was a guard on that
Blue Devil team—in fact, ode of
the three guards that Wallace
Wade had on a squad of 18 re
gulars. Despite a lack of reserve
strength the Blue Devils were un
defeated, untied and unscored on
during the season.
UNFORGETTABLE — Har
ry Soufas has long since stor
ed away his baseball togs for
keeps, but whenever New
Bern fans hold a session of
the hot-stove league on these
winter nights, they usually
get around to a few com
ments about his Coastal
Plain League feats.

HOMEMAKER'S
CORNER
The utility room is definitely an
important part of new houses, and
if the present trend keeps on, this
room will become as common-place
as the kitchen. Women agree that
there must be a place in the home
where the washer and dryer can
be operated with allied activities,
Most women ask for separate
laundry units, a built-in ironing
board and a pair of porcelain tubs
that can be used to hand-wash col-
red and white clothing, defrost
large items such as 25-pound tur
keys, cut flowers and even bathe
a baby.
The utility room, we are told,
should be about 10 by 12 feet, lo
cated next to the kitchen, and have
a door leading to the backyard. It
should be decorated attractively so
that a woman will want to work
there.
It is a very good idea for the util
ity areas to have separate electrical
circuits so that the washing ma
chine and toaster can be operated
simultaneously without fear of
blowing a fuse.
The placement of electrical out-

lets brought heavy criticism from
one group of women. They decried
the practice of placing outlets
above baseboard level in rooms
other than the kitchen and the
bathroom. More outlets are need
ed in every room in the average
home.
Outdoor living areas are extreme
ly important to the modern family
life. However, the tendency of late
to ignore the importance of a utility
yard that is planned with the same
thought and effort as the garden,
is always a mistake in a family
A recent survey showed the'
swimming pool was not favored by
the majority of homemakers as a
backyard fixture. The main rea
sons given were safety factors and
loss of too much yard area.
