Fine Ball Being Played By Members Of This 1937 Legion Team
From time to time the Pilot likes to run old pictures, reminding all of us of good old days. Sometimes
they imke us sigh with regret and then again sometimes they make us appreciate the good new days all the
more. Here is the American Legion team of ten years ggo. Some of these men are playing with us today We
can spot Ed Newton, good first baseman and star batter, and Frank Buchan. Arthur Pate, this year’s pitcher
IS there and still hurls a crafty ball. Arthur coached our Junior Legion team this year. The famous Auman
basebaU family of West End is represented: Howard, we’re tolk, is playing pro ball in Atlanta. Williams, there
IS playing for Robbins in the Peach Belt League. Alec Cameron, Bus Thomas, Clyde Alexander are in the
picture and that is, we think, Jimmy, (Little Jimmy!) deBerry in front, guarding the bats. Our Peach Belt
League IS lucky to have a few of these players and the folks certainly like to see them out there on the
diamond.

home run by one foot of steel
fence. Walt Harper, sparkplug of
the local team, hit a long run to

There is much local interest in
a new book, “Four Stars of Hell,
telling the story of the 101st Air
borne which trained ^Pr more
than a year at'^Camp Mackall,
and illustrated with a half dozen
maps of European operations
drawn by Jack Robins,^ husband
of the former Marie Kennedy of
Southern Pines.
Robins, now discharged, has
civil service position with the
army engineers at Walter Reid
hospital, and he and his wifelive
at Arlington, Va.
During the European opera
tions of the famous 101st he was
attached to the headquarters of
fice, and his intimate knowledge
of the terrain and the division'
activities brought a request, from
the author of the book. Captain
Crittenden, for maps supplement
ing the story.
“Four Stars of Hell” are the
four battle stars worn by all
members of the 101st, only full
division to receive a unit citation,
Emphasis in the book is placed
on the operations of the 501st
paratroop unit, many members
of whichjived in Southern Pines.
Their long training period in the
Sandhills made their distinguish
ed progress in Europe a matter of
strong local pride.

The USDA has issued a new
bulletin entitled “Farm Fish
ponds for Food and Good Land
Use” as part of the soil conser
vation service’s program to help

land.
Lt. Cmdr. Willie Necker, noted
dog trainer, says that one of the
best ways to out-bluff a vicious
dog at night is to stand still and
txmi your flashlight directly in
his eyes. This will temporarily
blind him and you will nearly
always avoid attack.
