and Events
Apparently, the cold blooded
owners of America’s
professional basketball teams
are hell bent on killing the goose
that laid their golden egg.
Their utter disdain for the
well being of college basketball
was further demonstrated when
the New York Nets signed
Marquette’s top star, and
thereby greatly reduced the
team’s chance for a NCAA
crown.
Added to this sorry turn of
events was the revelation that
Jim McDaniels affixed his
signature to a pro contract last
season while leading Western

For a short period between the
13th and 17th centuries - when
spectacles were first being used -
women were forbidden to wear
eyeglasses for fear they would
become vain. Oddly enough, van
ity is one of the major reasons
why many women wear contact
lens today. Approximately 78
percent of all contact wearers
are female.

Kentucky to a winning cam

Taking away Western Ken
tucky’s many victories at this
late date is as pointless as
grabbing a swatter after a fly
has already perched himself on
the custard pie.
No opposing ball club will
gain satisfaction from a game
awarded to it by forfeit.
Inevitably, fans throughout the
nation are wondering how many
other college athletes are
presently signed by pro outfits.
Professional basketball’s
shabby way of raiding
collegiate ranks not only brands
the owners of pro ball clubs as
cruddy characters, but is
casting a cloud of suspicion over
every campus in the country.
Here in the Old North State
we don’t have to be told what
can happen when enticing
money is waved in front of a
college athlete. The greatest of
all collegiate tournaments, our
Dixie Classic, was destroy^ by
it.
Defending the signing of Jim
Chones, as Marquette’s team
headed for the home stretch, the
Nets front office spoke piously
about its announcement that the
deed had been done.
The contention was made that
several other ABA and NBA
teams were also trying to land
the Marquette giant. And all
collie basketball was smeared
by Net speculation that a
number of college players have
signed pro contracts.
Obviously, the Net
management figures that
nothing can be wrong, if the
other fellow is doing it to. Such
reasoning is convenient, but
completely devoid of decency
and logic.

MORSELS
They way of truth is like a
great road. It is not difficult to
know it. The evil is only that
men will not seek it.—Mencius.
Trust God for great things;
with your five loaves and two
fishes. He will show you a way
to feed thousands.—Horace
Bushnell.
We often says things because
we can say them well, rather
than because they are sound
and reasonable.—Landor.
Never one thing and seldom
one person can make for a
success. It takes a number of
them merging into one perfect
whole.—Marie Dressier.
If a man really has an idea, he
can communicate it; and if he
has a clear one, he will com
municate it clearly.—Emmons.
If Buying Pears
Be Sure to Pick
Those Ripening
Since fresh winter pears are
in especially good supply right
now, be sure to include them on
your grocery list. And when you
shop for pears, keep in mind
these tips from the U. S. Con
sumer and Marketing Service:
The color of the pear depends
on the variety. Anjou or Comice
nears should be light green to
yellowish green, Winter Nellis
should be medium to light
green, and Bose should be
greenish yellow to brownish
yellow. The brown cast of the
Bose pear is caused by it’s
characteristic skin russeting.
No matter what variety you
buy, the pears should be firm.
Pears which are hard when you
find them in the food store will
probably ripen if kept at room
temperature, but it’s wise to
select pears that have already
begun to soften—to be
reasonably sure that they will
ripen satisfactorily.
Avoid wilted or shriveled
pears with did 1-appearing skin
and slight weakening of the
flesh near the skin—which
indicates immaturity. These
pears will not ripen.
Also avoid spots on the sides
or blossom end of the pear,
which means that corky tissue
may be underneath.
No story is the same to us
after the lapse of time; or
rather we who read it are no
longer the same interpreters.—
George Eliot.
In a free country there is
much clamor with little suf
fering; in a despotic state there
is little complaint but much
suffering.—Caruot.
The b^etting evil of our age
is the temptation to squander
and dilute thought on a
thousand different lines of
inquiry.—Sir John Herschel.
We come to learn that it does
not pay to grieve too much over
our errors. Ordinarily we try to
do the best we can.—T. L.
Masson.
Wherever souls are being
tried and ripened, in whatever
commonplace and homely way,
there God is hewing out the
pillars for His temple.—Phillips
Brooks.
Those bings only are fit for
solitude who like nobody, and
are liked by nobody.—
Zimmerman.
