before graduating from that school in
1943. He boasts a little of having
once pitched a no-hit game in an in-
I dependent league organized in the
r Ayden section.
' Now a sophomore, Little plans to
■continue his studies at East Carolina
■until he graduates. He is majoring
' in physical education and plans to
! follow a coaching career.
!!, The 1946 Pirate nine saw Little
showing his stuff for the first time
at East Carolina. Strike-out king of
the Pirates, he blazed third strikes
by 19 befuddled Oak Rjdgers in one
of his best performances last season.
In his first outing this year, he
i teamed up w ith two other ECTC hurl
ers, to pitch a no-hitter against Guil
ford college. In this game Little
worked three innings, striking out
four. In his second game of this
: season, he was never better, as he
I fanned 19 Little Creek, Va., Amphib
j ians and equalled the mark set last
i year. When not on the mound, Little
is in right field for the East Caro
linians. He is one of the leading hit
ters on the club, posting a 350 batt
ing average for the 1947 season.
Last summer he played semi-pro
i baseball with Edenton and gained
recognition as an outstanding hurler.
He ended the season for Edenton with
a record of 14 wins and four losses.
An ex-Gl, Little spent two years
: in the army. He is married and is
the proud papa of one child.

Hats off. my countrymen, to your
newspaper boy. Once a year, we
set aside Newspaper Boy Day to
honor his thrift and enterprise. On
Newspaper Boy Day in 1943 the
late President, Franklin D. Roose
velt, paid him tribute for his in
spiring work of selling nearly two
billion ten cent war stamps. Today
he rates a salute for setting an ex
ample in training for success. He
is now enrolling in Treasury De

Brucellosis Said to Re

A new drive to check the spread
of the costly swine disease, brucel
losis, has been launched by the Amer
ican Foundation for Animal Health.
Brucellosis was described as one
of the few swine ailments that show
ed a serious increase in prevalence
again last year.
“Farmers are losing millions of
dollars because of this disease,” the
American Foundation said. “Breed
ing irregularities, premature births,
stillbirths and weak and sickly pigs
are some of the destructive effects of
swine brucellosis,”
To check upward trend in this dis
jease, swine raisers were urged to
I adopt a “rigid” control program, in

I have all pigs blood-tested. Eliminate
the reactors, the carriers of brucel
losis.
“If brucellosis is present in the
herd, repeat blood-testing at frequent
intervals until all infected animals
have been eliminated.
“Be sure that newly-purchased hogs
have a similar blood-test; avoid
bringing the infection onto the farm.
"Maintain strict sanitary measures,
and avoid the use of contaminated
feed and water.”
Swine brucellosis is also a threat
to human health, since the germs of
this disease can cause an especially
severe form of undulant fever in
humans, the livestock health organi
zation warned. Therefore, farmers
were urged to use special care in
handling swine in infected herds.
