Ruth played outfield regularly for only 16 years of his 22 years in the big leagues. As a starting pitcher in those other years, he normally saw action on the mound every fourth ^y. Although he was used from time to time as a pinch hitter during his hurling seasons, he Butteric & Simplicity Patterns and all types of notions and Dress & Suit .Material. THRIFTY FABRIC SHOP Kinston Highway Dial 637-6565 HAVE YOU LOST YOUR APPETITE? • . You'll find it at The Parkway had fewer chances at the plate than regulars for almost a third of his career. Ironically, the Babe’s ability as a pitcher delayed his climb to . slicing stardom. Ed Barrow, who was managing the Boston Red Sox at the time, was very hesitant about converting his ace moundsman into an out fielder. Ruth won 92 games and lost only 44 as a major league pit cher. Few recall that he pitched five victories for the New York Yankees, one of them as late as 1935, and never tasted defeat whUe hurling for that team. In World Series play, he won three games while losing none. Two of the wins were registered without giving up a run, and his earned run average for World Series action was 0.87. Aaron would readily admit to anyone that no one will ever remove George Herman Ruth from his special pedestal. Roger Maris didn’t do it by clouting more homers in a season than the Babe had in a' shorter season, and Hank won’t do it if he eclipses Ruth’s lifetime total. Maris was never a .300 hitter, and fell well below that figure when he had his best year. Ruth, by contrast, had a lifetime average of .342. It’s true the Bambino went down swinging now and then, but obviously not often. Aaron, like Willie May, is one of the diamond greats, but you’d better believe it, the Sultan of Swat was in a class by himself. Oldsters remember that fact, and younger fans can learn It by consulting the record book. Scott Sf TILE AND CARPETING LCSCOnjR. i$37-3923 KEYS Ernul's 3^ >? Sport m Shop 2006 0.iks Rd.

YOU'LL FIND IT ON MEN'S CLOTHING AT: Bryant-McLeoil LTD 321 Pollock St. RALEIGH -- Children seem to outgrow every thing — even their bed rooms. Clothing can be re placed, but a room is something else, observes Mrs. Edith McGlamery, extension house furnish ings specialist, North C arolina State University, Carefully planned, it can grow with the child and involve few major changes. A youngster’s bed room is like a home within a home. It’s a place for more than sleeping. Playing, study ing, day dreaming, lis tening to records, munching on snacks and talking with friends are all a part of the bedroom scene during the growing years. A major criterion for creative decorating is adjustability. At all ages and stages, a child’s room should be sized for his needs with furnish ings at the right height to develop good habits of neatness, cleanliness and grooming. Properly chosen ac cessories — toy and book shelves, rods and pegs for clothing, a mirror for those initial efforts at grooming -- can be placed low to serve the toddler and be adjusted upward as he adds inches. Be sure to include a good- sized bulletin board for showing off artistic efforts. And make them savable — pictures and mementos become dear to an older child. Stackable furniture is a good choice. Pieces can be added as the child and his collections grow. Brightly enamel-painted and top-coated with polyurethane, the fur niture will be cheerful, scuff and stain resistant, and suds washable. There also are furniture lines that feature tough, washable, laminated, plastic surfaces. Flooring should not be H.K.LAND (.'SON msessaam Complete Real Estote ^rvice Mt-tut (LKS SMlDHra DIAL U7-4251 DIAL «M-2737 overlooked in planning, Because children of all ages spend much time on the floor, playing, study ing and visiting, floor coverings should be easy to care for, safe, warm and attractive. Easy washing, no iron fabrics are best for window treatments, bed coverings and pillows. While furniture and flooring are simple and suitable for years, fabrics can take on the decorative job of creating room personality at var ious age stages. The newer durable and scrubbable carpet ings are worth consider ing. Vinyl in combination with washable scatter rugs is a good choice. Whatever the final scheme, some pre thought with an eye to growth possibilities, easy upkeep, and activ ities the room will serve is likely to result in greater satisfaction for children and parents.
