Kunis comes to the Jays from Binghampton, after having spent the 1947 season with the Class A team. Pete is well known all over the Coastal Plain Circuit, having played three years for Goldsboro and one with William stod. From the Coastal Plain League he went to Jacksonville of the Sally League and from there to Elmira of the Eastern. Kunis was then purchased by the New York Yankees and was sent to Newark of the Internat ional League. At this point, the war interrupted his baseball career and he served two years in the Army, 1945-46. Pete hails from Wilks-Berra, Pennsylvania, is married and has one child. The new Jays’ skipper arrived in Roanoke Rapids late Wednes day afternoon, but lost no time ;n getting a look at his boys. He called a practice for 7:30 P. M. in order to get some idea of what he had to use in a season that was only twenty-four hours off. Val Gonzalez, hard-hitting first baseman, who was on option to the Norfolk Tars, was recalled and is now back with the Jays to booster their team for the open ing season. In the starting line-up to-night at Rocky Mount, there will also be two new infielders, for the Jays. Frank Kempf, from Long Island, N. Y., who was purchas ed from Amsterdam, and Bill Bolick, from Charlotte, N. C, who comes to the Jays from the Norfolk Tars. These boys, along with their new manager, should give the Jays a well balanced club to open the 1948 campaign.. National Guard Gets Pay Boost The local Reserve Unit, Com pany E, of the 119th Infantry, 30th Division of North Carolina has received a five per cent pay boost for Reserve personnel, bas ed on longevity of service, 1st Sgt.

(Coatinued on page sixteen) “Whatzit” Also Found In Canadian Waters Called Mud Puppy Remember our “Whatzit” picture on last week’s sports page—that was caught on hook and line in 'the Roanoke River by Sam Jordan of Gaston? A recent issue of the Kingston Whig-Standard (Ontario, Can ada, carries a similar picture. The weird-looking “thing” that looked like an offspring of some prehistoric monster, was identified as a “mud puppy” by Dr. H. W. Curran, professor of biology at Queen’s University. The Kingston paper goes on to say that ‘harmless in every re spect, the mud puppy is quite edible, tasting much like that of frog’s legs. Equipped with four legs, complete with jointed toes and all, the creature lies quiet during the day and then pro ceeds on its nocturnal ‘stroll’ around the bottom of whatever body of water it inhabits. It feeds on crayfish, earthworms and often small minnows. Water snakes in turn find the mud pup py quite a delicacy.” One of the mud puppies net tled in Canada, measured close to 10 inches lor^. This, Dr. Cur they have been reported over a foot long. The Roanoke River mud puppy measured about 8 inches. Member of the amphibia fam ily, mud puppies are classified by biologists as necturus macu losus. In the same family are newts and, salamanders. No ... they do not bark.

Young Discusses Dangers of Cancer (Editor’s Note: This is the first of a series of 3 articles on this subject by Dr. Robert F. Young, County Health Officer.) Imagine a killer wiping out the entire population of Halifax, aur historical county seat, in the brief span of 24 hours (Of :ourse, you would have to im agine, also, that Halifax had 500 people). But you certainly don t have to imagine that'this many Americans actually are killed in the United States every 24 hpurs by an outlaw, because cancer is the outlaw, and 500 people are his daily toll. Yes, cancer killed more than twice as many Americans every lay during World War II as were killed in combat. The actual 'fighting war is over for, at least, the time being; however, cancer continues its war against Ameri cans. day in and day out, stealth ily stealing into one out of every two homes and relentlessly kill ing one person out of every eight. Cancer kills more fathers and mothers than anyother sickness If some of you who are reading tnis happen to be youngsters, you should know that some wo men die of cancer when they are about as old as your mother. As a mater of fact, at that age, one death out of every four is caused by cancer. Cancer not only breaks up homes and brings in its wake suffering, hardships, and heart rending sorrow, but in so doing it costs the American people two billions of dollars, or almost one third of the total medical care bill for this country each year. This staggering sum is almost twice the total that the Federal. State, and local governments plan to spend on a nationwide hospital construction program during the next five years, as authorized by the historical “Hos pital Survey and Construction Act,” commonly known as the Hill-Burton Bill. “But,” you say, "we’ve had enough of statistics. Get on with your story. What is this outlaw cancer?” (Continued on page sixteen) Candidates Throw Hats In Ring For May 29th Primary Pestoffiee Lobby To Open Nights Postmaster L. G.

Union Election At Mill Delayed On March 26 the Textile Workers Union of America, CIO, petitioned the National Labor Relations Board for an election at the Patterson Mill. The NLRB called for a joint conference to be held Thursday, April 15. The company, however, de clined to meet with the union in joint conference last Thursday, giving as its reason, according to NLRB field examiner Martin L. Ball. Jr., that it was not the company’s policy to meet with unions unless they were certi fied by the NLRB. TWIJA Director Toby E.
