Sports roundup By Clint Fuller SPKING SCHEDULES SLIM This time of the year,' there is usually very little happening on the local sports scene. The college Is playing baseball, as is some high school teams and the Green Hill Golfers are participating in the Green Pastures weekly tournaments. There is plenty of news forth coming about the ACC baseball. . . and of course the M a jor Leagues, but very little can be found out about things happening under our noses. We still do not have a schedule for any of the high -school baseball teams. We have Franklinton's Track Schedule, but never any results of the meets. Louisburg High School baseball team we hear, is not as strong as in years past. Thoy lost at least one game to Raleigh Enloe" last week. There has been no news on Softball lea gues this year. However, we feel certain there will be one at Pearce's. Those of you that are in charge of local sporting events are invited to send us in formation of your teams or leagues. We'll be happy to use it. WHITE LEVEL OPENS SEASON SUNDAY The White Level Refts kick off their sea son on Sunday when they meet New Hope'of Wilson'County.

Pearce I am t quite certain that Joe Moss Is very proud of his well deserved honor In being select ed one of the four leadH^Wm ers in the entire country, but 1 don't see how he can be any prouder of his award than Is Jaycee President Ralph Knott. Now, 1 haven't sepn joe, but I have seen Ralph and Pm here to tell you he is beaming. As a matter of fact, every mamber of the Jaycees that r v? seen, sitae the award was announced In Tulsa, Oklahoma,' Tuesday night, has had a mighty satis fied expression on his face. The way I see it, about all that is left to bring honor to the local group Is for them to have a Miss Louisburg Pageant winner to go on to win the Miss America Pageant. And don't think for one minute that It can't happen. > Joe Moss has proved to the entire nation that Franklin County can produce farmers that are equal to any In the world. A whole lot Qf us have known for years that Franklin Hicks Speaks To Lions At Youngsville Mr. Robert Hicks, who is a member of the Loulsburg Res cue Service Squad, was guest speaker at the Youngsville Lions Club meeting held Tuesday night at the community house. introduced by Lion A. E. Hall, Mr. Hicks presented a most In formative talk on survival In case of nuclear war attack. Literature from the Department of Defense on fallout protection, first aid, and Home protection were given out to members. A number of Youngsville citizens remember Mr. Hicks as one of the" capable teachers of a First Aid Class taught at the com munity house. President Ray Pearce presid ed at the meeting. Welcomed as guests were two members from the Warrenton Lions Club, Lions Clyde Whltford and Allen Tucker, who spoke briefly In behalf of Deputy District Gover nor Monroe Gardner of Warren ton. Gardner Is now a candidate for District Governor of Dis trict 31-G. Mr. Robert Cooper was In at tendance as guest of Lion J.T. Allen. "(R.E.C.) G. A.'s Meet The Centervllle and Wood G. A.'s met with Paula Gupton Saturday April 6 at 7-30 p.m. Dene Ward called the meeting to order. The Opening hymn was, "We've a Story To Tell To TV Nation." The devotional was read by Miriam Leonard. The Centervllle roll called and minutes read by Stella Neal. The Wood roll called and minu tes read by Margarett Jones. Then all of the members said together, the G. A. Allegiance and Watchword. Paula Gupton was In charge of the program, titled "Philippine Puzzle." Seven members and the Counselor Mrs. Eula Ber tha Collins took part In the program. Refreshments served were: lemonade and assorted cookies^ County girls are the best look ing ones to be found; so now all we have to do Is sit back and wait. J think It Is a great honor for FrankHn County to have Joe Moss win and all of us are just as proud of him as are the Loulsburg Jaycees who spon sored him In the contest, but HI have to admit It didn't sur-' prise me one bit. I had read his qualifications and knew that it was beyond the realm of possibility for him not to be selected. You may remember In one of the columns I wrote last week, I mentioned a lady that used some liquid detergent by mis take when she was cooking corn bread. Picked up the bottle of detergent Instead of cooking oil. Well, I have a sequel to that sad story, and unbelievable as It seems, it was told to me for the absolute truth. Seems that one day this week the same lady w as getting ready to do some washing. She filled her automatic . washer with clothes, then called for her maid to hand her that bottle of liquid detergent on the shelf In the kitchen. This was done by the maid, or at least that was what they thought until they noticed a definite lack of suds In the ma chine. She Investigated and found the contents of the washer to be very much on the greasy side. As you may have surmlssed by now, In this case she had added cooking oil to the wash er Instead of the detergent. Just the opposite from what she had done with the cornbread. My advice to her would b? to start keeping those two bottles In separate rooms. Just doesn't look as though it Is going to work out, keeping them on the same shelf. ? ? ? * Speaking of politics, as I sometimes do, I noticed anoth er happening recently which I added to things the government does which I am at a loss to understand. In the dally papers one morn ing recently there was a story about a "Hate The United States" meeting which was be ing held In Brazil. Seems that representatives from 78 nations Including Russia, Red China, and Cuba were meeting for the purpose of denouncing the U.S. and praising Castro and Com munism. Over the radio that same afternoon I heard on a news program that Congress had ap proved a $398 million loan to Brazil and postponed payment of the $1.5 liilllon they already owe us. Seems that according to this system, If T.S. would quit brow n nosing and start talking about how much he hates the Kennedys he might get even more than he had been hoping for.
