The feneral public is invited to the recital which is a part of North Carolina College’s Summer Lyceum series. Paul Knowles, tenor and his lovely wife, Adriana, meczo- soprano, are both distinguished vocalists in their own right. Both have sunic in opera and concert and have been soloists with such leading orchestras as the Philadelphia, Boston, Cleveland, Ameri can Broadcasting and the Little Orchestra Society of New York. Many singers have married other singers, but not many have wori(«d to pursue joint careers. The programs which these two young singers have arranged give both an equal opportunity to display their exquisite and dramatic art to the full, consisting, as they do, of solo selections as well as duets. Mr. Knowles is the latest winner of the Metropolitan Opera Auditions of the Air, which means that the great New York opera house has first call on his services for the next two years. Mrs. Knowles won a scholarship at the New England Conservatory where she studied for two years and has subsequently sung with such artists as Robert Merrill and Marguerite Piaisa in opera scenes on television as well as in oratorio and operettas. An Informal Glance At W. D. Hill Community Center By MRS. M. H. JOHNSON On Monday morning, July 14, | friends, approximately fifty-five boys and girls arrived at the W. D. Hill Center from the Hlckstown and Walltown Playgrounds, to open the day camping season this year. After everyone had as sembled, they hiked over to Hill side Park where the camping period was opened with ^ flag raising ceremonial and song period. After ttiis, everyone donned a bathing suit, and swim ming instructions were given to the group by the life gUSRT Itfitf. Everyone enjoyed an hour splashing around in the water. When this was over, it was time for the group to taice the daily nature hike wiiich eventually ended back at the Center at lunch time. After washing up, the twys and girls were served a very delicious, meal prepared by the camp dieticians, Mrs. L. V. Alston. Lunch was followed by a quiet hour during which time stories were told, and the children en gaged in dramatics. Then came another period of games and free play and swimming. At about four-thirty, the little band trudged back into the Cen ter to await transporatlon back to their areas by taxi. They were tired but happy, and we felt tliat all had spent a worthwhile and we felt tiiat all iiad spent a worthwhile and enjoyable day. Julius Knight again is director of the day camp, and Mrs. Helen Daniels is assistant.

Althea Gibson In Bermuda HAMILTON, BERMUDA Althea Gibson, the Number 11 CLEVELAND It was probably only natural that Satchel Paige drew the headlines after tliat recent re cord-breaking, 18-inning mara thon at Cleveland Stadium. Af ter all, he’s no ordinary pitcher but, for aU the world imows, he may be the oldest character that ever flipped an aspirin tablet tlirough the strike zone. However, it remains a matter of record that, on that memor able occasion, the almost forgot ten winning pitcher was a fel low named Lou Brissie, a short- chore artist who’d become strict ly a bullpen specialist with the Cleveland Indians. Certainly there’s nothing re^ markable about a relief pitcher winning a ball game. But wiien he has to toss nine scoreless in nings in the process, it becomes news. And when it marks the first time in some thirteen months that he’s worked longer than four, it’s headline news. Yet that’s Just what happen ed on this occasion. Not since June 7, 1952 had Lou Brissie been called on to accomplish more tiian a dozen putouts in a game. During that period he’d risen to a position as the most effective relief pitcher in the American League, posted a finished eamed-run average of 2.22, and earned for himself much of the credit as the Indian mound staff became listed as the finest in all baseball. Then, this spring something happened. Brissie complained that ills invaluable left arm ‘just didn’t feel right* and pro ceeded to prove it in a most dis-, heartening manner. Not only was he slugged rather roughly in sev eral of his early 1952 appear ances but in others he demon strated an amazing lack of con trol. As a result, manager A1 Lopez was forced to relieve his Big Four with one another in an effort to take up the slack. Perhaps it was the warmer weather and perhaps it was just the passing of time but sudden ly, about two weeks ago, Brissie t>egan to regain his old form. His fast ball began to whistle and his curve started diving for the cor ners of the plate. Both Wash ington and Chicago batters stood in awe as he completed a pair of successful innings against each club. Then came the marathon with St. Louis! Inning after inning the Brownie hitters went down helplessly as Brissie piled one goose-egg on top of another. For eight rounds he didn’t walk a single man and for nine he re fused to yield a run. Finally, in his 10th, St. Louis managed a score to break the string but the Indians came back with two in their half. The southpaw with a war-shattered left leg had edged baseball’s “Old Man Riv er” in the duel of the season! Satch got the headlines alright but Brissie got the satisfaction of iuiowing that he is once again ready for his part in pulling the load. To the Indians it was the brightest ray of light to appear on an injury-darkened horizon. Perhaps that one amazing per formance could be the spark to kindle a successful pennant firel Jackie Robinson Discusses ‘Good Sportsmanship’ On NBC-TV Panel NEW YORK CITY Brooidyn Dodgers star Jaclcle Robinson was among a recent | group of prominent personalities who appeared as guest panelists on the National Broadcasting Company’s television series “It’s A Problem.” Jackie joined author Jack Harrison Pollack, whose articles have appeared in leading mag azines, and anchor panelist Hel en Parlchurst in a timely discus- sjon of “What Is Good Sports- Kianship.” Ben Graur is moder- atbr of the series. “It’s A Problem” is aired Mon day through Friday on the NBC- TV network and is designed to been carrying out a gruelling sea ^ the viwiwa^o* «*pert»OB-s^ Willis Named Assistant Coach At Virginia State PETERSBURG Hulon L.

Black iiad been rushed in the game when start er Carl Ersiiine faltered in the first inning. Then with two on, nobody out and the score tied at 3-3, everybody in the ball park expected Black to weave his magic relief pitching. He gave up only one nm tlu:ough a force out so that when Duke Snider hit home run to tie it up again, it was Black’s game to win or lose. But a couple of bad breaks de cided the issue. With two out, first baseman Hodges missed a triclder by the Cubs’ pitcher and that scored a run from tiiird. AnH wbf^ri two ning in. Black was out of the ball game.

I MONTE IRVIN TRIES TO HELP ranking player in the United AILING NEW YORK GIANTS PITTSBURGH, PA. there. On his first western trip of the season,*^ the stouthearted Monte Irvin has been trying to pass some of his courage along to his ailing team mates. The Giants blew two games here to the lowly Pirates and both were behind their key pitchers, Sal Maglie and Jim Heam. The club just isn’t hitting in the clutch nor is the fielding sharp at all with both Irvin and Mays out of national tennis championsliips, which are being held at the Ber muda Tennis Stadium courts. The New York star, who heads a contingent of five Amer ican players, is making* her first appearance here diuing a sum mer circuit. The Tournament is being sponsored by the Somers Isles Lawn Tennis Association, with the sanction of the Ameri can Tennis Association. While Manager Leo Durocher talked of shaking up the lineup with Bobby Thompson and Alvin Dark due for the axe, Monte tried to instill some of his con fidence to the Giants. Durocher told reporters: “Monte Irvin has walked up and down the dugout talking to our guys, trying to get them stirred up, but with all his will to win, we cannot get the fire started tmder them.” FAMCEE HOST TO ECONOMIC WORKSHOP—^In the above A. and M.

' VA said the increases are au tomatic for those veterans who are receiving compensation checks for the disabilities speci fied by the new law. However, veterans who are not on the compensation roils and are cov ered by the new law should ap ply at their nearest VA Regional Office. The new law goes into effect on August 1, and the increases will be reflected in the checks usually received by the veter ans on September 1, Veterans who will receive the increased checks are those who have been awarded statutory al lowances for the loss, or loss of use, of either or both hands or feet, for blindness, and for total deafness (in combination W'th total blindness). Veterans who are receiving a minimum monthly rate of com pensation for arrested tubercu losis will also receive increased cti^cks. Statutory allowances are paid in addition to the basic compen sation rates which are based on the degree of disability and No Matches To Scratch With ‘Jet’ Gas Rang es If you hear a housewife ex ulting about her new “jet Job,” lon't think that she's been driv en "space happy” by children’s chatter or atomic comic books. She'll just be talking about her “jet-fired” gas range-^the newest thing on the market. The n.ew “matchloss” range is quipped with a modem igni tion system which provides au- c-iiptic instant lighting of any part of the range — including jvens and broilers — from the ingle pilot used to light the top burners. Experts at the Gas Appliance Manufacturers Association point out that the new jet or “flash- tube” system has met all tests, not only in industry laborator ies, but also in thousands of homes across the country. The enthusiasm ot housewives who tested the ranges in their own kitchens indicates that the new automatic ignition system will be the most popular advance in gas range construction and performance since the introduc tion of the oven temperature control more than 25 years ago. The flash tuije eliminates the need for additional pilots for automatic oven and broiler lighting, and as a consequence contributes to economical oper ation and kitcheen coolness. It’s fool-proof, too. The lighting mechanism includes a thermo static device which prevents any flow of gas to the oven until the heat is high enough to . insure perfect burning. All you have to do is turn the control to the desired ove^ temperature or broiler position. The flash tube takes care of the lighting instantaneously by sending a jet of gas from the oven burner over to “reach” the pilot flame, thus bringing the flame back to the burner. The new “jet jobs” are l>eing madee to fit every cooking and kitchen need. There are 30-inch space-saver ranges with full- width ovens for families with (Please turn to Page Eight) Approval ot the construetion contracts for McDougald Ter race, Durham's Negro low-in- come housing project, has been given by the Public Housing Administration, according to L. H. Addington, executive direc tor of the local housing Authori ty. Addington said tile formal contracts would be forwarded to the three low prime bidders for execution, and as soon as completed would be sent on to the Richmond office of the PHA. When they iiave been processed there, the local lx>dy will give the contractors the notice to proceed and construction can get under way on the 247-unit project in the College View section of the city. CecU’s Inc. of Spartanburg, S. C. was the low bidder for the general contract, while the plumbing job went to Arrow Plumbing and Heating Company of Durham. Fitts-Crumpler of Roanoke Rapids, N. C. was low on the electrical work. “Usually,” Addington said, 'the contractors are given about 10 days after the notice to pro ceed to start to work, but very often they begin operations with out waiting that amount of time. The contract calls for the job to t>e completed in 495 days, but it is not likely the full time will be required. At least 40 dwelling units must be ready for occupancy within 200 days, according to terms of the con tract.” The amount of the bids, along with the cost of the land, equip ment, off-site improvements and administrative expenses will run the cost of the project over $2,000,000 when completed, with appropriate landscaping. Construction of Few Gardens, the white project in East Dur ham, got into construction early in April, the McDougald Terrace job being delayed somewhat by a technicality in acquisition of the site. as well as 36-, 38- and 40-inch ranges for use where space sav ing is not a governing factor.
