Four Scholarships Will Be Awarded By American Legion Raleigh—Four scholarships of $250.00 each will be awarded by the North Carolina Department of The American Legion for the year 1949-50, it was announced by Leg ion Department headquarters today. The scholarships are open to any son or daughter of deceased Leg ionnaires of either World War I or World War II actually in need of financial assistance to continue his education after finishing high school. The cause of the parents death is not a factor in determin ing eligibility for these scholarships but the deceased parent must have "been a member of an American Leg ion Post in North Carolina some time during his lifetime. There is no special type of appli cation to file for one of these schol arships, but the applicant must be endorsed by the local Legion post and must submit a statement from some person in the community show ing that the applicant is a person of character, ability and ambition. Deadline for the filing of requests for one of these scholarships is mid night June 30, 1949, and all requests should be completed and mailed in plenty of time to reach State Ameri can Legion headquarters. Box 2509, Raleigh, before that date. Further information may be obtained by contacting the Local Legion Post. WHY POLLSTERS FELL DOWN Several weeks before the election we were riding on a bus, when we overheard one man ask another, "'How is your wife going: to vote?" "The same as I am, of course," came the complacent reply. "Interesting, if true," we reflect ed. But a few days later we glimp sed the other side of the coin. It was in an elevator that we heard one woman ask another, "Are you going to vote the way your hus band does?" The other woman grinned, and re plied, "He thinks I am," ATHLETES FOOT GERM HOW TO KILL IT. IN ONE HOUR, IT NOT PLEASED, your 35c back. Ask any druggist for this STRONG fungicide. TE-OL.

These young-j sters trying out for big-league! berths are from all sections of the j country. A surprising number of the pitchers are from small countiy towns. Some of these 'country kins' can take the city lights and others find it too much. I ! That is to say, some of the boys can move to the big town and re main under harness while others go [to what is generally put off on the dogs. There is one youngster on the Detroit Tiger squad who was paid i $.75,000, as a bonus, just to sign | a Tiger contract. This lad will be seasoned a year in Flint, however, j before jumping into a Tiger uni form. He is still looking up at 20 years of age. But others about that j young are making the varsity. Some old-timers argue that these youngster, breaking in with a pro fessional big-leage team, should be kept separate from the old pros. The older players will teach them , evil ways and late-hour habits, and j other things, they say. It's just like | the argument over universal mili tary training. Many a father doesn't want his boy thrown into the Army i with a million hoodlums and van-1 dais and culprits who might spoil! Philbert. j i | The baseball game is different. | No one has to play it. And if the j boy is so good at nineteen or twen-1 ty, he can make a big league team, | he is above, average in ability. Of j course he may not be above average in brains. But they aren't paying him for brains. And the argument | goes on. What about it? What does I the writer think? Well, he agrees with one American League manager,! who recently said that the only! iworkable system in this line of i thought was merely the discretion j used by the manager of the team. | It does- appear to be a good prac tice to put youngsters with young- j sters and let the old pros go their j own way. But it's next to impossible the whole town's talking 4 BIG SALE DAYS L' WED-THURS • FBI ■ SAT onioin, ONE CEN I - ^ .
