Baseball club, with faith in FANS, PLANS FOR NEXT SEASON North Wllkesboro club, with the belief that base ball fans and supporters will come to the financial aid of the club, is making plans for the 1950 season in the Blue Ridge league. j About half of the required $5,000 to meet the 1B49 deficit has been raised, and the re mainder must be had before the team can so ipto operation, but the club believes that baseball is worth so much to the com munity that the task can be ac complished. luring the past week there lave been developments in base ball which may affect the Blue Tidge league. Martinsville, Va., is definitely out of the Carolina 'Mass B league. The Athletics ire giving up on Martlnsvillp because of operating losses there in class B ball, which is far more expensive than class D, and Martinsville may enter a class D club in the Blue Ridge league. Possibilities for the eighth club are Leaksville, N. C., Abingdon and Marion, Va. The Carolina league sought to obtain High Point-Thomasville for class B ball, but foV various reasons that team could not withdraw from the North State league to get into the Carolina. Meanwhile, the Carolina league is looking to Fayettville, if that c.'ub can withdraw from the To bacco State circuit. A baseball club cannot withdraw from a league without approval of the baseball's minor league commis ; sioner. j North Wilkesboro club is ex pecting to employ a player-man ager if prospects are good for meeting . the financial deficit. There are two applications , for the job which look very promis ing at present. One is Bernie Loman, brother of Henry 'Flash' Loman and who was *a league WfW 1?"

HORTON APPLIANCE } COMPANY ' FRIGIDAIRE DEALER 821 Main St. North Wilkesboro, N. C. Charlie Spivak Coming; Dec. 20 Aids Young; Folk Charlie Spivak, who brings his orchestra to play for a dance December 20 at the V. F. W1. hall here, believes a name band leader has a mission and a duty to perform for the youngsters ot America beyond pleasing lis en ing ears and dancing feet. Like Babe Ruth, whose gen uine love for kids enhanced base ball, Charlie wants to do every thing he can for the younger generation. Whenever Charlie plays a town, he does his best to meet his fans and encourage their interest in music, acting, painting and other personal ac tivities that heln to keep kids on the right path. The thousands of youngsters who belong to his fan clubs re ceive sound advice and encou" agement through his monthly newspaper called "The Trumpet Blows." ?"Most of our kids are fine,' says Charlie, "but juvenile de linquency can be considerably cut down if if the men who are fortunate enough to be in the public eye show the youngsters how to handle their problems. The kids admire their talent and will follow their example per haps more readily than that of the parent or the school teach er." Leaf Leader Is Labor Saver For The Street Forces The town of North Wilkesborr street department this fall has saved great amonnts of labor with a home made leaf loader. Falling leaves each fall have made necessary a huge labor bill to keep streets cleared of debris. Leaf loaders which pick up leaves and load them on truck? are on the market, but the pric es range from $1,1500 up. C. S. Williams, city street de partment foreman, had seen these loaders in action and want ed one foT use here but the price was prohibitive. After studying one of the raa ohines he decided he could make one just as good. The city mad available funds of about $400 with which to buy materials to make a loader. The principal item was a gasoline motor. With the motor and other ma terials Mr. Williams built a very creditable machine, which works like a vacuum deaner. The leaf loader is mounted on an old truck which belongs to the town. It goes along the street and by suction pulls the leaves from the street into the truck. Raking and forking labor are practically eliminated. The ma chine will pick up any leaves in reach, and works perfectly. Already the labor savings are near the cost of building the machine. Two men with the street loader can do the work which had required a large crew, and can do it faster. leading hitter in the Tri-State class B league last yeah.
