The Catamounts are now com
pletely equipped with new uni
forms. Coach Tom Young feels
that the team will get into shape
on the road trip and by the time
they return to the home field they
will be a creditable baseball club,
ready to give local fans some real
-ball playing. The bad weather of
the past few weeks has hampered
practice drills to some extent. But
the club will overcome this as they
warm up on this road trip.
Coach Jim Gudger, who has been
helping with the baseball squad,
will not make the trip as he has
reported to Rocky Mount Baseball
club of the Coastal Plain league.
Players making the trip to the
Piedmont section are: J. B. Beam,
1st basemen; Marshall Teague 2nd
baseman; Ray Lee and Ovie Heav
ner, 3rd 'basemen; Clayton Ever

Spring prints are perennial favor
ites along with new hats and daf
fodils, but unlike the pretty flowers
they just don't bloom again and
again and after one or two seasons
at most they usually hang Idly In
the closet. But you can now put a
stop to that. Prints can be
dyed to change their color
yet not disturb the pattern
at all.
Last year's black and
white print will make a
hit with the crowd all over
again If you dip It In a
yellow dye bath. Or if your
well worn number Is
brown and white, change
its identity with lime dye
to make it fashion-wise
this season. In both cases
the black and brown back
ground will remain un
changed while the light
figures will take the dye.
Pastel prints of two or
more light colors can also be dyed
to form new colors. For iustance, a

of Imagination on your part you
can take it from here to develop
many fascinating combinations.
There are a few tips that are
helpful to know about print dyeing.
Just as you would any othetf- ma
terial, test a scrap of the
print in color you have
chosen before adding the
whole garment to the dye
bath, then you will have
a preview of what the new
color will be.
To determine whether
or not the colors in the
print will run, test the ma
terial for 10 minutes at
the same temperature used
when the whole article is
dyed. If the print shows a
tendency to run it is still
possible to do a quick tint
job in hot tap water.
Since prints gener
ally contain synthetic or
manmade fibers such as spun
rayon, make sure that you get all

Tompkins Returns Home

representative in the General As

Saturday night, following the ad

lie. He was chosen Director of
Science and Education at the re- |
cent New York World's Fair.
Dr. Wendt thinks of himself as ,
a "foreign correspondent," a native
of the "world of science," which he
calls "the birthplace of the future."
He has devoted his life to reporting
and interpreting news from the
"world" to the people of America
in simple, understandable Amer
ican. "American life will change
more," he says, "in the coming ten
years than in all the past 50 years."
Dr. Wendt has played ^n impor
tant role in nearly all phases of
sciences, and has written two out
standing books on the subject,
"Science for the World of Tomor
row" and "The Sciences." He has
been a research professor at the
.University of Chicagot Dean of
Pennsylvania State College,"' "the
first director of the Battelle In-1
stitute for Industrial Research at
Columbus, Ohio, director of re
search for several important in
dustries, president of his own com
pany in New York, and a scientist
in the government service.
Dr. Wendt is remarkly well
informed and up-to-date on scien
tific discoveries and their appli
cations in the affairs of men. A
steady stream of news dispatches,
press releases, and trade journals,
covering all of American industry
finds its way to his desk. A book
edited by Dr. Wendt, "The Atomic
Age Opens," appeared in 1945, four
days after the first bomb hit Hiro
shima.
Dr. Wendt admits no hobbies ex
cept "science?and people." Even
when on a lecture tour, he says,
he is more interested in learning
of new developments and "getting
the feel of their reality" than he is
in talking about what he knows.
Before the war he made his lec
ture tours alone, driving in an
open car, and he claims to have
visited, every state in the Union,
and almost every county and al
most every important city.
Dr. Wendt is known for the con
trast of his sound knowledge and
dignified bearing with his.informal
manner, his simple, human speech,
and his sense of humor. His favor
