FRESCH| | A D 8
STILL GOING
STRONG
Furious. ferocious, furore!

4
AS the colored porter might
say: Nah goodness, but them
words sho' do picture the
thought"
At any rate, a furious time
of it is being had in the Build.
ing Contractors League this sea-
son. And oh, yes, fans, this is
bowling being served to you and
of the most heated pin-Spilling
sort.
The biggest bit about the
Building Contractors League is
the battle being waged between
D. c. Butcher Shop and Stand
ard Marble.
It really shouldn't be thought
unusual that these two teams
are waging a battle. Because
they always have ever since the
organization of the circuit sew
eral years ago.
Those FrCSchi Boys
But this season their battle
is more interesting than at any
time before. The chief reasons
are because of the Freschi
brothers, Louis and Joe.
The pair have been members
of the Standard Art team in the
past. But this year they are
affiliated with D. C. Butcher
Shop.
Now, to make a long yarn
short, the Freschi brothers are ex'
actly the reasons why D. c.
Butcher Shop are showing the
way again this year after having
copped the championship last
year. Both MesSrs. Freschi are
carrying Ill averages-which are
excellent averages for a brother
pair fighting for dear life to keep
a team in the running.
Merry Battle
How things will eventually end,
only good old Father Time will
tell, But merry fight is being
waged and the Freschi boys are
leading the way. Standard Art
finished in second place in 1881
and are in fifth position at the
present writing. D. C. Butcher
Shop won the pennant. and as
should easily be seen, are look
ing down at the other teams at
this stage of the race. :,
Incidentally, there are several
other bowlers on the u. =.
Butcher Shop team who are
"going pretty good" Willie
kline is one, while Rhodes and
McReady are others. Kline
turned in a 369 set recently, while
the latter two totaled sets OF
$40 each. The Freschi boys had
379 and 365, respectively. also
recently.
Furious, ferocious, furore! Yes,
sir, them's the words that de-
scribe the doings in the Building
Contractors League these days.
Look Out, Mooney!
Here's some more dope about
that crack Temple League. Fire
man Jack Mooney is leading the
league at present with remark
able. 1875 average. Chief Lovett
is next in line with 124 mark
These figures better those of
that trio of stars, namely, Ollie
Pacini, Reds Megaw and George
Honey. But it's what makes
activities in this circuit interest
ing. no doubt about that. Pacini
and Megaw have averages of 1913
at this writing, while Honey's is
around the 119 mark.

Charles w. Shields, one of the
proprietors of the M Store, fell
and broke his left arm the other
day while he was in the yard OF
his home on Vance street. He
was standing on a cam-chair to
look into a birds nest, to see if
the eggs had been hatched, and
the chair folded under him.
The fracture was at the elbow,
and hence there is some fear that
the arm may be left stiff.
Mr.. Shields cannot perform
his usual duties, but he is going
about. He finds that he can
drive his car with his one good
arm, and he sits in the rear
room at the store and does Of
flee work while his partner, John
McCauley, attends to the GUS
toners.

Virginia and Carolina will
meet on the baseball diamond at
Emerson field this (Friday) af-
ternoon. Maybe there Will be a
fair-siZed crowd hope so, for
the sake of the athletic associa-
tons depleted purse-but there
is not noticeable any great eX-
element over the event.
Alumni whose memories go
back. as far as 25 or 80 years
often comment upon the con
trast between the present low
estate of baseball and the emf
nence which it used to hold in
the realm of Intercollegiate
sport. In the 90's and the early
1900's the University and the
village were all a-tingle as the
day of the Virginia game drew
near. The entire student body
assembled every afternoon to see
the team practice; and when the
great day arrived the campus
was gay with decorations of
blue white bunting, and
men, women, and children deck
ed themselves out with blue
and white ribbons. In that pre-
automobile age the visiting
throng came in special trains TO
the terminus which we now
know as Carrboro and thence
proceeded to the field in hacks
and on foot.
Now, while Carolina-Vir
ginia game is in progress hun
dreds of people are strolling
along the streets and the cam
pus walks, quite Indifferent to
the contest Many Of them do
not even know it is going on. |

Registration for the primary
in June and the election in No
vember will continue for three
more weeks. Nobody is allowed
to vote whose name is not en-
tered in Registrar Paul Robert
sons book.
Whoever has registered for a
general election before in the
Chapel Hill precinct does not
have to register again. Some
times a citizen fails to qualify
because he has registered for a
special lelection but not for a
generaR election such as the one
this year. All who are in doubt
as to, whether they are qualified
should inquire of Mr.. Robertson.

"Made in Carolina"
Campaign to Promote Sales Of Prod
ucts of Home Manufacture

The third annual "Made-in-
Caroline" campaign, to culmin-
ate in displays Of home-manu-
factured products in the week of
May l6 to p. is now in progress
under the direction of the state
department of conservation and
development.
North Carolina manufacture
ers have been asked to place their
products in as many stores as
possible before May 16," says
Director J W. Harrelson." and
the pubIic's part is to buy these
articles during the week Many
merchants have assured us that
they will make a special feature
Of North Carolina- made goods.
"All sections of the state
share in the manufacture of the
things to be presented to the pub
lie, but North Carolinians are not
as we'll acquainted as they might
be with what we make. This is
natural enough, because few
citizens have been able to visit a
large number of plants or to see
the things, marked as to their
source, in the stores. Many fab
rics and other articles are bought
without the buyers knowing
that they were made in this
state"
Products manufactured in
North Carolina, in the last year
covered by the census statistics
1920, had a value of 81 .312, :
900, 900, about three times the
value of crops and livestock.
These products are grouped IN
l4l classes by the census bureau.
The $500 manufacturing plants
give employment to 100000 wage
earners. Manufactured tobacco
in 1929 had value of more than
$500,000,000, and textile prod
ucts were valued at $453, 900. 900.

Hammer. ". p. Berry, and Jeter

put into effect July 1st a reduc-
tion Of 10 per cent in the. sal
aries of all county officers.
The lower salaries will appear
in the annual budget which is
to be prepared next month by
the county accountant, Gilbert
W. Ray. Under the law the
budget has to be kept on dis
play for public inspection, at the
county government headquart-
ers in the court house, for a stat
ed period before it is finally en-
acted into law.
The decision to reduce salaries
was made by the commissioners
in response to the general Opln-
ion that the county should fall
in with the economy program of
the state government, public IN
stitutions, and private industry.
The commissioners believe that,
because Of the decline in com
modify prices, the income Of
county officers will be as high,
in purchasing power, as it was

were fixed

the four, bandits who fled from

Armstrong, were captured
promptly. Robert G. Thompson
is still at large. The New York
City police arrested Thomas last
week and notified Sheriff Sloan
to come and get him.

UNIVERSITY WILL
LET PEOPLE FISH
IN ITS NEW LAKE
Not Till Next Year. Probably,
Since There Must Be Time
for Water to Back up
DAM IS NEAR COMPLETION

Fishing viii be permitted on
the lake that is to be created by
the Cniversity's dam now un-
der construction about two miles
west Of the village. Chapel
IIillianS and visitors may cast
their lines from the bank or may
go out upon the water in boats.
1t is expected that the dam
will be completed by July. OF
course it will be some time before
enough water backs up to bring
the lake to its normal future
area. How long that will be de-
pends upon ,*he volume of rain
fall in the watershed. Probably
fishing will not begin until next
year.
The water area is estimated at
200 acres. The boundaries will
be very irregular, zigZagging
along three valleys.
The use of the lake will be sub
ject to restrictions based upon
the regulations of the state board
of health. Swimming will be
forbidden; and there mustn't be
any picnicking on the banks, be-
cause that would involve the
danger of contamination of the
water by rubbish and leftover
food.
A Watchman- or perhaps they
will call him Il Warden-will be
on duty at the dam, and one of
his functions will be to see that
the restrictions are obeyed,
There is one question which
nobody can answer: Will there
be many fish in the lake? Per
sons who have roamed along the
three streams that will feed it
Morgan's creek, Prices creek,
and Nevllle's creek-are hope
full, If the natural supply of fish
is not adequate, maybe the lake
will be stocked, but as yet there
is no plan for stocking.
