Ell Centro's Merchant baseball
team, defeated in eleven innings
last Sunday, today trained its
sights on Pirrone's All Stars the
next opponents on the list at
Sportsman Park.
Carl Sawyer and John Kerr, two
of baseball's most successful
clowns, play major parts in the
Pirrone attack and when Kerr and
Sawyer get under way the fans get
their moneys worth IN laughs.
Sawyer plays first base and Kerr
occupies the keystone sack. And
do they work together? They may
not be the best combination in
baseball but at any rate they're the
most entertaining.
Carl has been playing semi-pro
baseball for more han Is years and
he is still one of the games fam
ciest fielders.
You marvelled at the way Mickey

the first sack. Well, you amt seen

and only after they fail, are the men
OF the Regular Army. also placed in q
state OF readiness on notice OF i'm
pending disaster.
When orders for evacuation are
given, definite plans for this move
ment have already been made. Maps
In the hands of those responsible for
the evacuation Of sector show exactly
where the evacuated residents are to
be taken.
Orders are to take them to the
nearest town or the nearest c. c. C..
camp over safe route. Each town
Is allowed to absorb up to rs per cent,
and no more, Of their regular popula-
ton. c. c. c. camps are allowed to
absorb 100 per cent Of their regular
roster, or 200 refugees to the camp.
All available public buildings, garages
or other available space is to be used
before there is any resort to tent cities.
Camps to Be Constructed.
When all available space has been
used within the allowed percentages,
refugees are to be moved to towns or
c. c. c. camps farther distant within
reasonable bounds. II then provision
has not been made for all of the
refugees, camps on the type Of c. G. C..
units are to be constructed at q safe
distance from existing camps.
Large concentrations are specifical-
ly avoided, and orders provide for
their use "only as last resort"
In this way the danger of epidemic
Is minimized. the problem of food and
sanitation is lightened, the transpor-
tation problem Is reduced, the tend
ency to mob hysteria is practically
eliminated, better medical attention
is possible, loss of supplies and equip
ment is cut, because OF the easier
facilities for maintaining a check.
Another feature Of the plan, not
publicly discussed by the Army for
obvious reasons, but evident in the
working Of the arrangement, is the
fact that 1t removes relief and eyac.
uation from the hands of local pol
iticians and places it in the hands of
the military authority of the State. the
adjutants general and through this
authority, the Governors.
Political Squabbles Out.
Local political squabbles, or mis-
taken Chamber Of Commerce spirit,
will have no part in future disasters
If it can possibly be avoided.
Watchful waiting and constant pre-
paredness, authorities feel, can re-
duce the tragic toll taken in disaster
wrought by nature on the rampage.
The Nation has learned a tragic
lesson through succession of hurri-
canes, floods and other disturbances.
With the machinery at hand to cut
the annual toll to q minimum, relief

Coast Guard and the Civilian Con-
servation Corps acting for the United
States Government and the adjutant
general Of the State involved directing
the activities of the National Guard
within the State.
Gen. Moseley has been quick to
stress that the proposed plan. now in
definite operation in the 4th Corps
Area, does not involve assumption Of
any functions by the Army, its facili-
ties merely being used In liaison.
Arrangement Had Been Discussed.
Before disaster hit along the Ohio
and 1t was believed that evacuation
would be necessary along the lower
Mississippi, an arrangement of this
type had been discussed with adjutant
generals of the States in the 4th
Corps Area in conferences with Gen.
Moseley. 1t had not developed beyond
the basic stage, but was fully worked
out within "a hours after notice had
come from Gen. Malin Craig, chief of
STAN, asking the relief and evacuation
plans be Immediately prepared.
Now, should hurricane devastate a
wide section of Florida, an almost
yearly occurrence: should food waters
strike in any section Of the country;
should fire sweep q wide area and
render thousands homeless or should
gales blast New England seacoast
towns from their calm existence, the
Nation has available a carefully
worked out arrangement for aid that
can be given quickly and in the most
effective manner.
As issued for use in the food zone
under direction Of the 4th Corps Area,
the Army plan envisages control of
refugees and the process of evacuation
by National Guard troops under the
direction of the adjutant general of
the State or States involved. Detailed
with the adjutant general are officers
from the staff of the corps area COM
mander, responsible to the commander
and in constant communication with
him, both through normal channels
Of communication and, in event they
fail through Army radio facilities
provided for field service.
Assisting in the States are the nee
essary c. c. C. units working under
the direction Of the corps area staff
officer. In the event of floods, officers
OF the Army Engineer Corps report
their predictions to the corps area
staff officer. to corps area headquar-
ters and tn washington
C. C. c. Units in Reserve.
In the background in reserve and
ready for immediate action are, first,
the C. c. c. units in surrounding
States. Plans for their movement into
the stricken area are made and kept
ready.
And when all Of these agencies fail.

Actually. however, the steeds never

this is true of all similar shots:
The horses are specialists in their

are as we'll trained as stunt men.
There weren't so many horses in the
dramatic charge as appeared on the
screen. Shots from several angles of
a small, select group of soldiers, and
chargers did the trick
Nor were they moving very fast.
The whole action was accelerated con-
siderably.
1t is the same in the breathless
scene in The Plainsman"
