and well-played baseball had a good

Slim Gardner?proud father of
another son who was born last Sat
urday night?went the route for the
All-Stars, giving up only six hits,
and striking out eight batters. Ole
Slim, slightly nervous from his new
responsibility, was claimed by a
number of Elizabeth City rooters as
"having plenty on the ball".
The locals knocked out 12 safeties
off Lefty Sawyer, with Fenner Wal
lace and Haywood Wynne each get
ting three hits. One of Fenner's
blows was a home run in the ninth
which tied the score at 3-all.
Pap Diem, tricky as ever, pulled
the hidden ball trick on a base
runner after a triple had put him on
third with none out. Mack Cherry,
playing left field, threw the ball
to Diem who went up and talked to
the Rebel runner about the hit.
Thinking the ball had been returned
to the pitcher, the baserunner left

Bear Grass, bolstered by the Rawls
boys. m u icxed the county- w uie base -
ball championship in a crucial game
here last Sunday afternoon, the vic
tors turning back Farm Life by a
score of 8 to 4. It was the second
game in a best two-out-of-three ser
ies, the losers failing by a narrow
margin to hold the Bear Grass lads
at bay for a single advantage.
While there were errors in the fi
nals, the teams played better ball
than some brands seen on the local
diamond in the season just ended
and in seasons before that. Fairly
large crouds were present for tlve
finals ,and while no official report
has been received, the receipts dur
ing the past few days wiped out
| most of the operating deficits.
Playing more for the sport of it
i than anything else, the members of
jthe teams despite limited chances
for practice offered some interesting
exhibitions. There weren't enough
regulation suits to go around, but no
one argued about that and no one
thought anything about it. Attired
to suit their own tastes, for the most
parts, the lads asked no favors and
gave no favors.
Ronald White, on the mound for
Bear Grass, got credit for the win,
although he was relieved by Earl
Robrrson later in the game. Coy
Griffin started on the mound for
Farm Life, but he yielded to Roy
Hardison in the eighth. Garland
Tice caught for the losers and J. C.
Rawls, Jr., received for Bear Grass.
The Bear Grass line-up included:

Food Lockers Seen

Farmers living in areas served by
frozen food locker plants can make
increased use of these plants to
their own advantage and to the ad
vantage of the defense program, says
DavidS. Weaver, head of the Depart
ment of Agricultural Engineering at
N. C. State College.
The use of frozen lockers, he point

Resources are saved when foods

Because most of the meat, fruits,

Harvest Time Nears

Potatoes keep best when they are

avoiding to Lewis P. Watson, ex

frost, they should be removed im

The horticulturist advises the use

Farmers using lockers are likely
to raise more of tluar own foodstuffs,
Weaver believes, because foods pro

One of the most important rules j
at harvest time is: Do not bruise the ;
potatoes. They should not be thrown j

rows can easily be placed together
without throwing the potatoes.;
Bruised yams rot easily in storage,
and dark spots caused by rough ,
handling lower the market value of
