Central To Meet
Grossr71ont Team

With Smith slated to twirl for
the Spartans tomorrow in their
game against the visitors from
Grossmont High School, San Diego,
Coach Bob Armstrong feels that his
proteges will be able to send the
coast boys home with the short end
of the score and will repeat their
victory of last year over the same
school
The two teams appear evenly
matched and it may be anybody's
game until the last out but the
Spartans have shown such a re-
versal of early season form lately,
that Armstrong has little doubt
that they will get the decision.
The game will be played on the
local high school diamond starting
at 2:30 O'Clock tomorrow afternoon.

a lot of money for new expensive
plants but seeds are cheap and one
can make a beautiful and possibly
a prize winning garden by using
them. If you have any old buildings
on your grounds which you no long

little cleaning up it is possible to
rank high enough to win one of the
many valuable prizes.
Do not be afaid of not winning

10000 Consumer Cards
Are Signed in District

from local NRA officials, in COM
menting on the fact that over
10000 cards signed by consum-
erS in pledging their support of
the Blue Eagle have already been
returned to the local recovery
headquarters.
Raymond ]. Walter, major" in
charge of the NRA information
bureau here, said; -..
although WaShingtOnians
have no vote in political ques.
tiOnS, they have shown them.
selves in the recovery campaign
to be politically conscious when
the welfare of the nation is at
stake"
The 10000 cards received so
far are only a part of those that
have actually been signed, Walter
stated, as thousands have not yet
been sent in BY the volunteer
workers who handled the drive.
Of those approached, 95 per cent
signed willingly, it was said.
The number Of families repre-
Sented in the total is also about
95 per cent, Walter added. This
estimate was believed to be con-
Servative, even though there was
taken into consideration the fact
that two or three members of a
family might have signed cards
separately. ,..
