Monday, May 19, 1947 Protect Investment In Notional Defense Americans have always been credited with a smart investment sense. We carry more life and fire insurance as a nation, and per capita, than any other people. We protect our savings accounts, keep our gilt-dged securities in safety deposit box es, and are generally pretty sharp about guarding our business assets. v It made sense, in line with that way of thinking, when we put our surplus Navy ships in the plastic-protected "zipper fleets," where neither rust nor decay can touch them. There was only one weakness in this arrangement. A ship is only as good as the men who sail it. You can't put brains in mothballs. It is impossible to seal off and leave dormant the "know-how" of millions of trained technicians and spec ialists?"know-how" which cost billions to obtain. "Operation Naval Reserve" is the logi cal answer to the question of how we can conserve, develop and utilize that "know how." It has for its goal the recruitment and training of a strong civilian Naval Reserve, including both veterans and younger men. These Reservists will have access to training and education that will benefit them in their civilian jobs. Mem bership in the Reserve will make them better citizens. And, finally, the know-how th6y ac quire and improve will be the best safe guard of America's investment in peace. Help Legion With Junior Baseball Wilkes County Post 125 of the Amer ican Legion has entered a baseball teaip in Afnerican Legion junior competition in area 4 of North Carolina. Legion junior baseball has long been recognized as one of the most worthwhile projects being carried out in the nation specifically for boys. Boys who had not reached their 17th birthday by January 1 this year are eligi ble to play. Many brilliant baseball careers have had their beginning in junior baseball, but perhaps of more importance is the physical and competitive training afforded the boys in clean sport which builds char acter as well as bodies. Boys in Wilkes county who want to try out for the county junior team are urged to get in touch with Frank Allen, Legion athletic officer, at North Wilkesboro. Parents and friends of boys who are good' baseball prospects are asked to help in the movement by encouraging boys to participate. Borrowed Comment RATIONING NEEDED? ;r r (Winston-Salem Journal) Proposal again has bobbed up in Con gress that the rationing of sugar be ter minated. Apropos this suggestion, news arrives from Wilmington that ships from Havana, Cuba, are almost literally covering up our North Carolina, port city with sugar. The Wilmington Star repeats that the S. S. Lotta Dan, a Danish vessel, unloaded 500,000 pounds at Wilmington Tuesday. On Monday of this week the S. S. Corinto, out of Havana unloaded 3,400,000 1 : pounds. Customs officials announced that four other shipments of sugar were due to arrive within the next ten da^s. The sugar is being stored at Wilmington for "local and State-wide distribution." On the surface, these shipments, first to come by ship to Wilmington since the beginning of World War II, indicate a growing abundance of sugar. If this is the case the argument of those who contend that sugar rationing, even under liberaliz ed rations, is -unnecessary gains weight. But there is a possibility, of course, that unless the supply is fully ample to meet consumer needs on something akin to the prewar standard competitive purchasing in the open markets would drive the price of sugar, which has been very stable and reasonable throughout, to the infla tionary price levels of various other food commodities. So, unless the supply is abundant Uncle Sain might be wise in holding on a while longer to the check reins which curb the free and indistriminate sale of sugar. The fellow who toots his own horn will end up playing out of tune. ?

ISENHOUR Hiddenite, N. C. LIQUOR STORES A CURSE When a grocery store goes up in a city, town or community, it is a blessing, as it furnishes us food for our bodies, and thereby sustains life. When a cottoti mill goes up, or some other manufacturing plant that turns out some product that is essential to life, it blesses mankind. But when a liquor store goes up it is a curse. J Absolutely. It takes the money people need for food and clothing, and with which to meet expenses, and poisons and kills them instead. Alcohol is a deadly poison. As Judge Webb says, "It kills the living and preserves the dead." Men who erect liquor stores in a town or city certainly don't do this to bless the people. Never, a thousand times NEVER! They know their dirty business is a curse. All they care for is the money they get, regardless of the harm they cause. What do they care for your home, your husband or wife, your sons or daughters? Nothing, just so they get your money. They know when they erect liquor stores that peo ple are going to buy their poison, drink it, get drunk, curse, disturb, brehk hearts and break up homes. They know that as men and women drink liquor they will cause horrible wrecks on our highways, and thus maim, cripple and kill human ity. They know their liquor will cause crime after crime, and thereby fill our jail houses, send people to the chaingang and penitentiaries. But what do they care? All they want is your money; and your soul may go to hell so far as they care. Friends, I'm against liquor one hup dred per cent, and that means I'm against every liquor manufacturing plant and every liquor store on the American soil and on the face of the earth. How about you? No nation can take the food stuff that God provides for our sustenance and health, and manufacture it into liquor and beer, which is a curse, and.go unpunish ed. Men and nations have to reap what they sow, and how awful is the harvest that comes from drinking and drunken ness! It is a harvest that has to be reaped for time and eternity. ABNORMAL ABSHMTIES By DWIGHT NICHOLS et al THE tJWUSUAIi - IJSUALLY HAPPENS? ( Baseball, the national pas- < time, sometimes comes up with unusual plays that start people. Including the umpires; guessing. It Is the most stable game In the nation, and there has not been a major qhange In the rules In 15 years. But written rules cannot cov er everything. And somebody oomee up with the question: Can a ruh be scor ed after the.third out? A run could be legally scored after the third out. If the bases were loaded with two out and the batter is walk ed, he could run down to first base, get off the base and be tagged out after the ball is put into play. The runner on third could be walking home and not have reached home plate when the runner on first Is tagged. But his run would count. A Carolina League umpire re lated the following about the' most unusual play he ever had to call: Theire was a runner on third base in a close game and the pitcher delivered the ball to the batter. It was called a ball and the catcher threw quickly to third base ii^ what looked like an effort to catch the runner off base. But instead of throwing the ball, the catcher had reached in to his pocket and pulled out an irish potato about the size of a baseball. It was the potato that he threw toward third base, but he threw the potato high over the third baseman's head and it sailed into left field. The runner, seeing what look ed like the ball sailing into the outfield, ran for home plate, but just before he got there the catcher stepped out with the ball *? dm. umpire was faced with a iilemma, Therer was nothing in :he book aJbout potatoes. The outcome of the play was that the runner was called' safe ind the catcher' was put out of the game for conduct unbecom ing a player. Of course, th^ home team fans poured onto the field ind the caps had to prevent a riot, but the umpire's ' decision itood the test.
