PAGE FOUR SPORTS SLANT Blues Win In Match Yesterday the “Blues” defeated the “Reds” in a re turn golf match, the Reds having won the first match. The -score was 18 1-2 to 14 1-2. This evened the series and the next match will probably be played Wednesday the 28th. H. M. Beam is captain of the Reds and Tobey Ledbet ter is captain of the Blues. Both are very much interest ed in golf and can shoot a nice game any time that it is necessary. After the match on Wednesday, Lewis Long served a chicken barbecue supper and as far as the golfers were concerned it was 0. K. in every way. If there is anything better than bai’becued chicken, you will have to go to a long way to find it. All who were present had a big time eating regardless of whether they had won or lost their match. It has been suggested that these local matches be tween the “Blues” and the Reds be continued at regular intervals and if you think that it is a good idea you are asked to exnress vour opinion to either Dr. Beam, cap tain of the “Reus”, or to Tobey Ledbetter, captain of the “Blues”. After all is said and done if we can’t travel to play Mebane, we might as well beat the fire out of those “Reds”. P. S. - This writer is a losing member of the “Blues”... Negro Agent Has Program Dealing With Conservation The Negro Home Demonstra tion club of the County Home community held its regular monthly iqeeting Wednesday af ternoon fit the home of Mrs. Velma Williams, with the Presi dent, Mrs. Alberta Smith, pre siding.

OFFICIALS IN ABATTOIR SEE BLACK MARKET CITY (continued from front page) but point out the need of many abattoir construction materials for the war effort, and disap prove of over-precipitate haste in 'demands for construction of an abattoir. The City of Roxboro resolu tions are similar ?n tone to reso lutions adopted last week by the Person Meat board. City action was brought to a head by pro tests of City and County meat dealers and butchers, many of whom appeared before the City fioard and demanded some ac tion. Licenses of all City of Rox boro and Person County butcher ers or slaughterers have been suspended. ' First action occurred last month when Person County Com missioners declined to cooperate with the City in construction of an abattoir to meet OPA and Health Department standards. The City Board has several times before this considered the matter but the present set of resolutions comes closest to be- Sports of the Times Up-to-the-Minute Sport News Solicited l.ing definite action. Some City officials have contended that the building of an abattoir should be undertaken by private concerns, but nothing has yet been done in that quarter. Among those most agitated by the meat short age are Roxboro grocery opera | tors. Among butchers the last one . to have his license revoked was I Victor Yarborough, one of the i largest in the County, who last j week expressed himself as being in a quandry, since prices ob ! tainable for slaughtered meats will not justify his taking; ani mals to other places such as Dur j ham, Hillsboro and Oxford to , have them slaughtered and then brought back to Person County and Roxboro to be sold. Among City Board members most interested in, seeing that something be done is Gordon C. i Hunter. Construction of an a [ battoir here has been discussed for two months, but it has now developed that there is an ap parent cross-up between the , OPA and the ffealth Depart j ments and whatever of vigor- I ous interest there was in con j struction of an abattoir here has been weakened by departmental | frictions first discovered and re ported upon last week by the Person Meat Board at its Thurs day session. Complete text of the City of Roxboro rseolutions is as fol lows: Whereas, although the produc i tion of beef cattle for market is ! comparatively speaking a recent > industry in Person County, it is nevertheless one which promis es to grow rapidly if properly j encouraged, since an increasing number of our farmers have tak en it up in the past fewi years, some of them on rather a large scale; and whereas, the major ity of the farmers in the county are systematically increasing their production of pigs and hogs every year; and whereas, both of these developments are seriously threatened by the present atti tude of the State Division of the O. P. A. and local Board of Health in withholding or un duly restricting permission for the slaughter and marketing of cattle and hogs: Now, therefore, it is resolved by the Board of Commissioners of Roxboro: Section 1. That we most re spectfully but earnestly protest 1 the action by which the orderly marketing of beef cattle and hogs produced in Person County is seriously obstructed, thus not only discouraging the produc tion of these animals but de priving the local markets and the public generally of much needed supplies of meats; and we suggest that if possible some way SIORC THAN A THIRD HI CROSSIN6 ACCI- S THt AUTO OR TRUCK ; INTO THC TRAIN.

That the situation is gravely acute. It is growing j more difficult (fay by day to se cure even a modicum of the | needed supply of meats, especial ily beef, for domestic use. And 1 dealers report that there is little chance of securing more than a dribble from the outside. It is plain that a meat famine impels, which unfortunttely may Eventually result in a black market, unless these govern mental agencies who really pos sess the power come to the rescue; otherwise the responsi bility rest with them. Section 3. This Ebard is en tirely sympathetic toward any practical project for the estab lishment of an abattoir locally, and propose to encourage any such movement in every reason able way. But in the meantime, we are unable to overlook the j fact that much of the material required for the construction j and equipment of an abattoir is vital to the war effort, nor do we believe that it is consistent with sound judgment to be over precipitate in a matter of such real and permarent consequence to the count* — = : CLERK SELECTS J.

That’s Cab Calloway’s opinion on the matter, and he has just composed a brand new number to prove it. “ The song is titled “Greechy Joe.” It’s about a fellow Cab knew about fifteen years ago. The chap’s name was Joe Greechy and for years, off and on, the refrain, Joe Greechy, Greechy Joe, has been torment ing the maestro of jive. While working with Lena Horne and Bill Robinson on 20th Century-Fox’s musical “Stormy Weather,” Cab heard Lena huirf ming a tune between takes on the film. “What’s the name of that tune you’re humming?” he asked. “It’s nothing,” Lena answered, “just something I hum now and then.” “Yeah,” mused Calloway, “if we take the first bars of it, and put it in four-fourths and bar j rel-house the segue—■” He jump ed up. “I believq I’m going to bury Greechy Joe, once and for all!” He raced to a piano and that’s how the number, which he recorded during production lay offs, was born. “Stormy Weather,” which is at the Palace Theatre Thursday and Friday, is an entertainer’s idea of an entertainment pic ture. It contains more than sev enty-five percent more music, singing and dancing than the average musical picture and calls on many of the top-notch names in the entertainment field to round out the cast.
