ehing the bees work among

Pearl'.
After working with bees for a
while Pearly states that it is pos
sible to “take the honey” from
the hives without too many cas

are not too uncommon.

Vacation Period Ends
All the folks in both the Caro
mount and Wilson plants enjoy
ed their annual one week’s vaca
tion during the week of July 5th,
and irom the reports which have
been forthcoming, it was most
enjoyably spent by everyone con
cerned. There were a few cases
of excessive sunburn, more popu
larly known as “blisters”, but by
and large no serious casualties
were suflered and everyone re
ported back to work on Monday,
July 12, ready for action, and it
appears as though there will be
plenty of it lor the rest of the
year.

Softball League Suffers From Vacation Lull
The Cara mount entry in the
City .Softball League seems to be
having trouble snapping out of a
vacation lull and as a result has
dropped to fourth place in the
league standing.
As of July lo the Carpmount
team had won H and lost 4 ganips.
It is expected that the players
will settle down during the sec
ond half and boost their stand
ing.
The line up is as follows: Dick
Brown, catcher; Frank Shelton,
pitcher; A1 Inscoe, pitcher; Her
man Roberst.m, pitcher; Jake Jon
es, first baseman; Clyde Evans,
second baseman; Ed Creekmore,
short stop; Bernice Inscoe, third
baseman; Walt Thompson, Char
les Johnson, Vernon Wood, Tom
Brown, Sam Cockrell and Willard
Cooper, outfielders.
The caromount Departmental
League is also having its share of
trouble. It seems a sure sign of
rain wdicn tbe Dyfins are sched
uled to play. On July 19 the team
standings are as follows: Atoms,
Blues, Braves, Dyfins.
Not too much interest has been
shown in the departmental teams.
What we need are better crowds
and more participation
