LOU BRISSIE GOING
GOOD IN MAJORS
Wounded War Veteran s
Courage Is Strong
Lou Brissie. ^outhoaw hurler for
the PhiladelDhia As, is probably
the most hropv man in the major
league? todcv.
After being kroeked to the
ground by a Ted Williams hit in
the early inning? oe the opening
day game. Brissie promptly re
moved himself from the dirt and
pitched the A's to a 4-hit 4-2
triumph over the Boston Red Sox.
It is only by his sheer courage
and pleading that Brissie is in
organized' baseball today. Here
is his story.
In 1945, a German shell burst
in the Appenines of Italy, killing
11 of his companions and wound
ing him. Several medics passed
him by, believing him to be dead,
before one saw his eyelids flutter
and rushed him to medical aid.
Doctors wanted to amputate his
leg but he pleaded that he was a
Tuckaseigee Personal
Mr. Kend.ll Wood, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Curtis Wood, lei't Mon
day for his home in Ohio r.fter a
short visit here wyth home folk.
:all olaver and talked them out
* ?
~>f an amputation at the present
time.
He spent months in hospital^
vid after 23 operations and 40
?ood transfusions, he was dis
.? lr.rged with an alumninum brace
on his leg.
In 1U47, after reporting to the
Athletics in spring training, he
;vas sent to Savannah in the Sally
league where he won 25 and lost
only 6 while compiling an earned
run average of 1.91 and fanning
278.
His first start in the majors
was at the last of last season and
he lost a 5-3 ?game to the New
York Yankees. But on opening
day this year he sat the Boston
Red Sox down on 4 hits.
Brissie seems destined to go
places in the big time. According
to Ted Williams, he has plenty of
stuff. And that, mixed with his
unwavering courage, is quite a lot.

Hens Need Feed When
Egg Prices Are Low
By the middle of May, North
Carolina's supply of ?ggs will be
much less plentiful than now, says
T. T. Brown, Extension poultry
rpecialist at State College.
When spring came, Mr. Brown
explained, farmers stopped selling
their -?hens, which began laying
rather h aviiy. However, with no
i";ri corn and some spring-grass,
. the e he~s will net continue to lay
very long, soon most of the layers
in 'these farm flocks will stop
laying and go broody or molt.1
Then the market will be flooded
with hens instead of eggs. As a
??esult. hen prices will drop and
S3 prices will go up. ?
Farmers seem to forget at this
season of the year that egg prices
do not remain low all the yeai\
I but start going up in early sum
I mer and remain relatively high
during the summer, fall, and win
ter, the specialist said. Farmers
are showing little interest in grow
ing out a crop of pullets for next
season's layers. Inste:.d, many
of them are keeping a few old j
hens which will be molting or out,
of production, or. at least in very,
light production during the highest
price egg season next fall. That
will mean scarce eggs and low
producer profits, Mr. Brown stat
ed.
Although commercial ^nd semi
jommercial producers are going
ahe;d with normal size flocks, the
farm producers with 150 hens are
reducing their flocks sharply this
J year, the Extension worker dcclar.
i cd. Since these flocks are the
source of the greater part of the
"gg supply in North Carolina, in
dications are that eggs will be
scarce during the summer and fall,
if 1948 and the winter and spring
of 1949. |
Farmers who .are growing all or!
part of the grain for theif poultry)
the coming year have a rosy fu-1
ture ahead, Mr. Brown said. Manyi
acres which would have been'
planted to small grain had the'
weather been suitable and many1
! more surplus tobacco acres will
be planted in corn this spring. A

When, ironing, fasten safety
pins to the places that need mend
ing on the clothes. This savts much
time in finding the'spot that needs
repairing, especially if the mend
ing is done several days later. Iu
also saves the necessity of having
to look the clothes over several
times before finding why they were
put in the mending bajket.
Hough jagged edges on curtain
rods tear too many curtains. To
avoid this, try the following plan:
When curtains are laundered and
ready to be put up, dip one end of
the curtain red in melted paraffin
?md allow it to harden. Then slip
the paraffin end of the rod through
the curtain and it will prevent
sharp edges from snagging the
curtain.
Summer curtains are kept clean
er by wiping screens frequently
good market for this corn will be
the poultry flock, he concluded.
