interior painted, and after giving
much time and thought to the
matter of raising the necessary
finances, work on the project will
finally get underway this week.
Two weeks prior to the clubs op-
ening four months ago, much plaS-
tering and repair work was done
on the interior, but because OF lack
of money and the desire of the
directors to open the club as soon
as possible, no painting work was
considered at that time Sometime
ago the program committee met to
arrange plans for the public open
ing of the club, but after much
discussion decided on putting off
this public inspection of the club
until all the walls and woodwork
were painted. Now, with the paint

director of the club will begin
working with the program COM

Brown, R,ue, Cav Eyes

According to a German insurance
doctor, brown-eyed people arc a bad
risk, and he bIckS this up with OBJ
servaticns made during his 80
years experience. says PearSon's
London Weekly. Blue or gray eyes
are an indication of long life, he
finds. All the brown-eyed people ne
has known died between fifty and
ffty-fve years of age. But medical
specialists do not think much of
this theory. They point out that
age itself takes the color out of hair
and eyes. so that a person who
started life with deep brown eyes
might quite easily reach ripe old
age with eyes os a paler shade.

Six days of intense heat from
the Rocky Mountains to the At
lantic had taken more than l5O
lives Sunday night but at least
temporary relief was indicated IN
some sections.
The New York area, where 52
persons perished in five days OF
torrid temperatures and excessive
humidity. was promised cooling
thundershoWers before morning
but weather forecastcrS advised
that the relief would not last. New
York City registered an unofficial
temperature of 90 degrees at 2 p.
m. EDIT.
Other northeastern points look
ed for only scattered rainfall, and
not even that before Monday al
ternoon.
More definite respite was prom
ised in the Missouri valley area
and west to the rockies where cool
masses of air advanced slowly
eastward.
The aged and persons with car
diac disorders suffered most from
the abnormal heat. In twelve
hours Sunday ten deaths from
heart disease aggravated by the
weather occurred in Brooklyn
alone.
The heat was so intense that
proprietors of public swimming
pools at New York beaches floated
ice cakes in the water to cool 1t
sufficiently for the thousands who
fled the city'S baking streets. At

Beware Yankees ! The Dads Have Hit Their Srtide

Challenged b ythe crack team of the Junor Chamber of Commerce, made up of members from the sixth, seventh and eighth grades, the Dads" turned out in full force Sunday afternoon to do battle in Evergreen Bowl. Due to the break ing down of the only available add ing machine, the final score could only be estimated and was placed at about 42 to IT in favor of the Dads.
 The finest performance of the day was turned in by Umpire Jim Wilcox, though the Dads did come through with a sparkling triple play, Sperling to Faulkner to New marker. The Dads were "handi- capped" by the forced absence of their prize slugger, but bore their loss stoically.
 Newmarket Jr., of the Junior c of c. squad had a hurling record of from twelve to twenty strike outs per game behind him as he toed the slab for Sundays struggle but his face grew steadily redder as he toiled against the Dads. In fact, Faulkner, Jr., usually a heavy hitter, laid his slump in yester- days battle to being blinded by the glare from pitcher Newmarkers Snozzle.
 But the c of c lads despaired not at being nosed out in yesterday S conflict Philosoplically accepting their defeat, they immediately chal- lenged the Dads to another game, to be played in 1945.
 Line-Ups
 Dads: Harry Sperling, pitcher; Dave Wood, catcher; H. L. Faulkner first base; John Newmarker, sec ond base; George H. Walmsley third base; Kenneth Ferguson shortstop, George Tanner, left field; Bill Wilcox, right field.
