For example, it was obvious as never before this season that Jon Burwell and Robert Gillikin sim ply could not be replaced by Coach Jeff Hockaday of the New Bern High school basketball team. That they were good was clear to everyone, but time alone proved that graduation of these two guards —finest in the Northeastern Con ference—would wreck the Bruins completely. Other capable players graduated along with Burwell and Gillikin, including that constant hustler, Service on All Makes of Electrical Appliances Eubanks Refrigeration Service ME 7-2571 6>Room Home on the Corner of Rhem Street and Country Club Road. $2500.

DISTRIBUTOR ME 7-2197 Jean Earl Worthington, but Jon and Robert were . the take-charge boys who saved New Bern from de feat on repeated occasions. It has been a disappointing year for the local basketball team. The won and lost record during the reg ular season was nothing to shout over, and yet in fairness to all con cerned it was foolish to indulge in even modest optimism at the outset of conference campaigning. ■ Hockaday has a building job fac ing him, and it may take years to really do the job. Sooner or later, the Bruins will produce an aggre gation that will make fans forget stars of the past. Some younsters in the lower grades . are already showing promise, but at the mo ment the qutlook is bleak. One of our weaknesses has been the lack of proper training for the potential athlete while he is still in the elementary grades. That, more than anything else,, is the rea son the Kinston Red Devils have trounced us so often for so long a time. This state of affairs is now being improved, but we’ve still got a long way to go before we measure up to Kinston’s training program. Until we do, expecting wonders from green material is too much to ask for. V^teront News A new departure in psychiatric treatment has been undertaken by the Veterans Administration, tfA said. The agency’s first mental hygiene day center for treatment of vet erans with service-connected men tal illness was established recent ly at the VA outpatient clinic in Brooklyni N. Y. VA expects that more of its men tal hygiene clinics will establish similar centers within the next few years. The day center program is de signed primarily to provide more and better outpatient treatment for the increasing number of veterans being released from VA hospitals after treatment for service-connect ed schizophrenia. Many of these veterans recovering from schizophrenia, one of the most severe of mental diseases, need a great deal of help through the VA outpatient treatment program if L R.
