Word has just been received
from the Civilian Conservation
Corps at Lawtey. Florida, concern
ing the progress of former local
athletes in the field of baseball.
Following is the letter:
1.-THE Citizen,
Key West, Florida.
To the Sports Editor:
Due to the fact that quite a
number of boys in this camp come
from Key West, I thought you
might be interested in some news
about our ball team.
The 453rd Company, of Lawtey,
Florida, won their fifth straight
victory by defeating Eastport,
Florida, 14-4. The game was cali
ed in the seventh inning because of
rain.
On Saturday, July 18th, Com
pany 453 defeated Penny Farms,
Florida. 1916. In these two league
games Lawtey faced six pitchers
and hammered them all over the
field.
Joe Hale starred in the game
against Penny Farms by knocking
home run with bases loaded.
Francis X. Delaney plays a first
class game in center field and hits
the pill with regularity. Gilbert
U. Demeritt has been trying to
make up his mind between third
base and left field. Roy Brooker,
on third. has been clicking with
Hale at shortstop and making life
miserable for opposing batsmen.
At present, Company 453 is
leading the Jacksonville C. C. C.
League and has every indication
of being championship outfit.
Yours very truly,
WALTER HEGENBERGER.

across the platter on solid hits.
Dick Navarro finished the inning
and the rest of the game and

some sharp curves and was touch

With brilliant pitching per-
Torrance by two hurlers, the
Guardsmen easily held the youths
team in check though the Trojans
had men on bases. threatening to
score almost every inning.
Another game is being arranged

NATIONAL AFFAIRS
By FRANK P. LITSCHERT

Events have moved so swiftly dur
ing the past few weeks that even yet
great many people do not realize
the Importance and the sweeping eff
feet of much of the legislation passed
during the recent session of Con-
gress. In effect, the national legis-
lators attempted to make over the
economic structure of the country,
with measure of government control
never before contemplated in peace
time. Just how it will all work out
nobody of course can tell. The ease
with which the Presidents program
was put through Congress, was due
in no small measure to the nation
wide personal popularity of the Pres
ident. From now on the new system
will have to prove itself. If it does
not, it will speedily become unpopu-
lar and the administrations politi-
cal fortunes will wane with it. Every
American, of course, regardless Of pol
itics, is wishing for the success of the
Presidents efforts to guide US out of
the depression. That some progress
has been made is undeniable. How
much of it is due to healthy recovery
and how much to speculation in an
ticipation of initiation remains to be
seen.
One of the most sweeping accom-
plishments of Congress was the in
dustrial control act. 1t went through
so speedily that few people yet I'M
derstand it, outside of some of the in
dustries vitality affected. It is the
complaint of Republican leaders that
sufficient time was not given for dis
cussion, and they say that if it fails
the fault will lie in large measure with
the haste with which it was passed.
Every now and then a conservative
statesman is pointing out what he re-
CARDS as fundamental defects in the
program. One of the latest is no
less a person than Alfred E. Smith,
former Governor of New York and one
of the leaders of the Presidents own
party. In a recent editorial in the
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1933-07-13
Legend of Areas

According to IA Greek legend con-
corning Arcturus; Areas, son of the
king of Arcadia. while hunting, pur-
sued his mother, who had been trans
formed into bear by Zeus. The bear
mother took refuge in the temple of
Zeus and the god. in order to pre-
vent matricide, transported both the
mother and son into the heavens.
To locate Arcturus, follow the han
die of the big dipper in curved line
q distance that q: the dipper itself.
Arcturus is the brightest star in the
constellation.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1933-07-13

New Outlook, Mr.. Smith expresses
grave doubt as to the workability of
the recovery act. While admitting that
individual initiative and unhampered
freedom of action in the field of pub
lie utility is a thing of the past the
Governor declares:
at is quite another matter to set
up government control of all business
l have never hesitated to recommend
the extension of government activi-
ties to meet the needs of a growing
population in an age of industrial in
vention, but this plan goes beyond
anything my imagination can follow"
Later in the same editorial Govern
or Smith reorganizes the sweeping
effect of the new law by adding:
"If we give the planners cor
ner of Alaska or a chunk of the bad
lands for their experiment, it would
not be so serious. Then if the labOra-
tory blew up the whole nation would
not suffer-" Governor Smith adds
that in his opinion the Recovery Act
will tend to Cripple initiative, Legal
ize and even encourage monopoly,
raise prices and require higher tariffs
to maintain the new structure
In such a triumph of beaureaucracy
the little man would be lost in the
shuttle"
In summary Governor Smith says:
at may be that we have reached a
new era in which the government must
run everything, but 1 hope not, be-
cause l do not want to see this land
of opportunity sink to a dead level in
which we shall all be civil servants
working under political control. If
that happens we shall have sold our
American birthright for mess OF
communistic pottage."
While all are hoping that from now
on the travelling will be smother it is
not bad idea occasionally to stop and
visualize the direction in which we
are going. In this new national ex-
perimentation it is true that the labO-
ratory is not one corner of Alaska.
but the entire United States. 1t wifi
pay US well, therefore, to go slowly
and carefully. What we want is not
more bureaucracy but less of it. We
want to preserve individual initiative
and personal enterprise so far as pos
sible. , If we do not do this, we will
have moved a great deal closer to
some of the systems now in vogue III
various parts of Europe. Let us move
forward, but let US at the same time
watch our step and be sure where we
are going.
