Ker bough, Sam Adams and Howard Cottrell win ning one etch. Monday five balls went to O. K. Richardson, four to Sam Travis and throe to Jimmy Cottrell. The rain on Monday cut down rather sharply on the en tries, since It was uncertain as to whether or not the players would be sble to complete their rpunds. The local course has been hold ing up rather well under all the heavy play, however there are quite a lot of ball mark* being left in the green*. We urgently request all player* to repair theee mark* and help keep the green* in the fine condition they art in. Many people repair mark* that other* leave, and for thit we are thankful.

Comment On Sports By PETE FRITCHIE Washington. D. C. ? Commis sioner Ford Frick ?ay? he want* to remain at the head of Major League baaebaU's organization long enough to tee each league composed of twelve teama, to work out something to itop the bonus binge and to see that baseball Is protected from federal Interven tion. The Commission**! second six year term does not expire until 1MB. He will not offer for re election to the post of Commia sioner at that time, but recent fe ports that he would soon resign ?re incorrect. The Commissioner denied these reports recently (Richard Nixon had been mentioned as a possible successor, among others) by say ing he wu working on a solution to the bonus binge, which would be announced shortly. And he said that there was a lot he still wanted to do before he stepped down from the post of Commissioner. One of the things on Frick's mind in the constant threat of federal intervention Into organised baseball's structure be cause of the reserve clause. The Commissioner wants to work out something utiafactory to all on this question, he wants to see both league! expended to twelve j teami and wanta to put an end to ( the bonua trend which ia coating ! the rich teama aa much aa a mil- \ lion dollara a year, or thereabout* ?at the preaent pace. It would aeem, then, that the , Commission would not be retiring < before 1964 or 1069. The reports , that Nixon, Joe Cronin, or Warren { Giles, will soon become the Major League Commissoner aeem prema- ] ture. Chances are Frick will be ' around for at least three more < years. By that time new candidates I will have Joined the llat of eligi- < blea for the top job in organized baseball. While some do not think about it much, the fact that big ieague baseball's Commissioner has been a respected and well paid man has done much to keep the game el*4n. Judge K. M. Landis probably did more for the game than any other Commissioner and he was a stern 1 man ? but above suspicion or re proach. The Job pays 960,000 a year and for that kind of money one can manage to stay beyond re proach. ' Hal Smith of Cardinals has heart condition. Hugh Morton took this picture during lait year's celebration of the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games. The annual event will be held again this week end, Saturday and Sunday, with Scottish Clam from near and far gathering on MacRae Meadows at Grandfather. Signs With Senators West Jefferson ? Arville Cor aette of West Jefferson last week ligned a professional baseball contract with the Washington Senators. He received a $1,790 tonus. Cornette, who recently gradu ated from Lees-McRae Junior College, la a pitcher. .Washington Scout Neal "Tex" Millard signed Cornette after watching him pitch ? 13-inning no-hit game. Cornette says he plans to use Ilia bonus money to pay his ex penses at Appalachian State reachers College, which he will ?ttend in the off-season in com pleting two years' work toward a degree. Cornette is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Cornette of West Jef ferson, and attended Beaver Creek High School, where he starred in baseball and basketball. SHOCKING PINK SPECKS San Francisco ? San Francisco police are looking for a middle ?ged man wearing shocking pink rimmed glasses. A man with this desci iption walked into a downtown branch of the Bank of America and slipped a teller ? note calling for "100 twenties, 100 tens and. 100 fives." The surprised teller shoved over $790 and the robber disappeared In the crowd. American Retailers Saluted For Aid To U. S. Bond Program Washington, D. C., July 3? 1 America's retailer! were saluted today by the Treasury Department I (or their contributions M> the U. ( S. Savings Bond program since i 1941. i The tribute was expressed !n a public service newspaper ad an nouncing July as "Retailer^ ' Month" in the bond program's ' 20th anniversary year calendar of salutes to prominent volunteer groups. The ad recalled that local merchants played a key role in mobilizing community support for the early defense bond pro gram and for the bond drives which helped finance the Nation's war effort. "Few groups were as well quali fied to promote bonds as the re tailers," the message said. "They sold ovor the counter, staged street rallies and parades, sponsor ed movie premiere*, and used all their selling talents to get every citizen on the bond-wagon and help speed victory . . . The job they did has paid big bonuses. Since 1941 Americans have invest ed $121 billion in Savings Bonds, spent $78 billion for the things they wanted as the bonds matured, and are still holding a large $43 billion reserve as buying power tor the future." Responding to the Treasury tri bute, Alfred C. Thompson, presi dent of the National Retail Mer chants Association, stated: "As citizens, we retailers are proud of the part we have had in the 20 year success story of the U. S. Savings Bond program. As merch ants, we are grateful for the rich reservoir of buying power the pro gram has provided for the busi ness community ? and the security it has provided for the nation. We earnestly recommend that Amer icans keep buying and holding U. S. Savings Bonds." ALL-SUMMER GARDEN A Niish county homemaker has proven to be quite a gardener. She believes in producing "a square meal around home." Mrs. Lydia M. Booth, assistant home economics agent, says Mrs. Cecil Williams, Wilson, Route 1, has already planted her fourth garden and plans to plant every two weeks during the summer. She likes to have fresh vegetables all summer and have some to freeze at different times. Goldberg asked to help missile labor inquiry. President signed bill extending minimum wage law. U. S. offer aid on Maritime Commission study. ANOTHER BIG REASON BEHIND THE BIG BOOM IN FORD SALES: No other wagon can match Fords features (or popularity!) There'* a whole wagonload of Ford features that only Ameri ca's station wagon specialists can bring you. First, there's more room. Ford's extended load deck is the longest and widest in its field. The tailgate opening is seven inches wider than last year, too. There's mora convenience. You can have an electrically con* trolled roll-down rear window in any Ford wagon ... it's standard faa afl Country Squires and 9 Passenger Country Sedans. In their Mid, only Ford wagons have off Mate facing forward. There'* 'mora distinction. The Country Squire (shown above) b the one and only wagon in it* field with body panels that look like mahogany, wear like steel. There are mow savings, too. Ford's Ranch Wagon is America's lowest- priced,* full-sixe wagon. And like all Fords, every Ford wagon n built to be more service free: goes 80,000 miles between chassis lubrications, 4,000 miles between oil changes, brakes ad just automatically, mufflers are made to last three times as long as ordinary mufflers, and the finish never needs waxing. , STOP putting off that station wagon you've always wanted. SWAP for a '61 Ford wagon now while your Ford Dealer's cele brating record-breaking sales. SAVK with the wagon America loves most . . . made by FORD . . .
