PAGE FOU SPORTS SLANT Season Starts The softball season has started and the teams are al ready in the thick of the fight for the pennant. Os course the fellows who are playing are" not quite as young as the boys who played last year and the year be fore but they are young enough to make an interesting game and if you do not believe this all you have to do is to go to the high school ground and see a game or two for yourself. Fair crowds have been attending so far and interest should pick up as the season goes on. Softball is really an interesting game and it provides plqnty of fun and relaxation for those who play as well as those who watch. Golf Scores Go Down Those who play golf will testify to the fact that Rox boro golfers are getting better every day. It’s not unu sual at all for the boys to shoot in the thirties now, this writer not included, and some of the fellows are almost getting in the habit of shooting that kind of a low game. Os course the greens are good and there is nothing wrong with the fairways but even with that it takes good golf to roll anything under a forty. Right now r the Club needs about ten or twelve new metmbers and there is no good reasons why fellows like Coleman King, R. H. Shelton, R. D. Bumpass, Dewey and Arthur Bradsher, and many others should not join and play golf. “Woman Os Year”| KINSTON, June 2.

H. Martin, Chief of Police of Bethel, relative to the same ques tion, calls attention to the fact that the 1943 General Assembly did adopt a resolution request ing peace officers to enforce sec tions of existing State laws a gainst vagrancy, mainly in the interest of further aiding the war effort. I Patton, in his own letter to Woods, who inquired as to en forcement of existing State laws, particularly in Roxbcro, sayo that he does not knew of any step “which the town of Rox boro could take to enforce these (vagrancy) sections other than the provisions of the penal sec tion themselves.” Patton declin ed to express an opinion as to whether “action is necessary or desirable in Roxboro.” McMullan, in his statement to Chief Martin, of Bethel said: “There is no provision in our law authorizing municipal police officers or municipal courts to compel persons to work, other wise than sentencing them to the roads for violations cf the crimi nal laws of th!e State ... Os course if these persons about whom you speak are vagrants or tramps within the meaning of those terms as used in Sections 4459 through 4464 of tWe Con solidated Statutes, you , could prosecute them under the sec tions listed above.” City Attorney F. O. Carver, Sr., of Roxboro, said yesterday that Roxboro vagrancy laws, if any, are based upfcn State statu tes and he expressed himself as in agreement with McMullan and Pattern.
