FRED LUCAS NAMED
AS CAMBRIDGE MANAGER

Fred Lucas, former major league
outfielder has been named manager
of the Cambridge Cardinals of the
newly formed Eastern Shore League
according to an announcement by
General Manager Ray P. Applegarth.
Mr.. Applegarth was notified of Lucas
appointment last Thursday in letter
from Branch Hickey, president of
the St. Louis Club which is backing
the Club.
With the announcement of the ap-
pointment of Lucas as playing pilot
of the Cambridge club, prospects for
a pennant contender loom bright as
in him the club secures an outstand-
ing outfielder as we'll as an aggres-
sive field leader.
A right handed hitter and thrower,
Lucas began his career in organized
baseball in 1923 with the Martinsburg,
w. Va, Club of the Blue Ridge Lea
que. He starred with various clubs in
succeeding years and reached his peak
in 1929 with the Charlotte, N. c., club
of the Middle Atlantic League. In
that year he batted .407 for the sea-

AMERICANS
ALWAYS SALUTE
THE NATIONS FLAG

When you see the Stars and Stripes
displayed, son, stand up and take off
your hat. Somebody may litter. 1t
is in the blood of some to deride all
expressions of noble sentiment. You
may blaspheme in the street
and stagger drunken in pub
lie places, and the bystanders will not
pay much attention to you; but if
you should get down on your knees
and pray to Almighty God or if you
should stand bareheaded while a
company of old soldiers marches by
with flags to the breeze, some peo-
pie will think you are showing off.
But don't you mind! When Old
Glory comes along, salute, and let
them think what they please! When
you hear the band play "The Star
Spangled Banner" while you are in
a restaurant or hotel dining room,
get up even if you rise alone; stand
there and don't be ashamed of it.,

"There is no direct statute cover
ing cock fighting" Mr.. Anderson
pointed out. "The sport is covered
by statutes referring to disorderly
conduct, cruelty to animals, etc. In a
recent case the county courts held
that persons operating cock fights
could not be found guilty of maintain
ing disorderly places unless it was
proved that the offence had occurred
there regularly"
Mr.. Anderson added that if his in
vestigation shows grand jury action
warranted, the matter will be brought
before the May term of the court.

either!
For of all the signs and symbols
since the world began there is none
other so full of meaning as the flag
of this c6alntry. That piece of red,
white and blue bunting means five
thousand years of struggle upward.
1t is the full-grown flower of ages
of fighting for liberty. 1t is the
century plant of human hope in bloom.
Your flag stands for humanity, for
an equal opportunity to all the sons
of men. Of course we haven't arriv-
ed yet at that goal; there are many
injustices yet among US, many sense
less and cruel customs of the past
still clinging to us, but the only hope
of righting the wrongs of men lies
in the feeling produced in our bosoms
by the sight of that flag.
Other flags mean a glorious past,
this flag glorious future. 1t is not
so much the flag of our fathers as
1t is the flag OF our children, and OF
all children's children yet unborn. 1t
is the flag of tomorrow. 1t is the
signal of the Good Time Coming"
1t is not the flag of your king-it is
the flag of yourself and of all your
neighbors.
Don't be ashamed when your throat
chokes and the tears come, as you see
it flying from the masts of our ships
on all the seas or floating from every
Flagstaff of the Republic. You will
never have worthier emotion. Rev
erence it as you would reverence the
signature of the Diety.
Listen, son! The band is playing

WHERE THE BOY
SCOUT JAMBOREE
IS IMPORTANT

Why the Scout Jamboree? That's
a question that's being asked often
these days. You read that the Boy
Scouts of America are planning their
first National Jamboree, to be held
from June 80 to July 9 along the
shores of the beautiful Potomac Riv-
er at Washington, D. c. From all
forty-eight States, Canada, and many
distant lands will come young lads
between the ages of twelve and fiji
teen, and their leaders-men who are
playing a great part in the molding
of their young lives. And people are
asking ell, what's this big Get
To-Gether for? What purpose will
it serve?"
Here's the answer: If you'll think
back few years to those happy days
when you were finishing up Grammar
school and looking forward to High
School and perhaps College. You
dreamed of ''doing things. You want
ed to carve yourself place among
men. With a reasonable amount of
brainpower and few breaks, most
of you made out all right. But, pic
ture the lad of today. What does he
see ahead? It's quite a different
scene. War clouds are blowing "a
round many foreign countries. He
knows that many lads of his own age
are being developed into political and
military armies-to satisfy the selfish
whim of dictators. Communist"
youth, Fascist" youth, and "Regi-
mented" youth are no longer new
terms to him. He knows they mean
that if he were living in one of those
countries-he'd probably be one of
them.
That's where the Scout Jamboree
comes in. The thirty thousand lads
who will get together in Washington
will live up to their theme of Fun
and Fellowship" They will celebrate
the individual freedom and right to
personal initiative which they inher-
tied in this nation of ours. Ideals

Closet Rooms

Just about this time of year every
woman starts cleaning out closets.
Take that hall one, for instance
not the clothes closet, but the catch
all for old baseball mittS, old maya
zines that you've read but don't want
TO throw away. I'll bet there's just the
place for those things out in the
garage or down in one of the base
ment quarters.
But there is that closet space
just crying to be put to good use.
1t is always burning question just
where to put the telephone-it doesn't
seem to fit anywhere. That closet
would make an ideal telephone room.
It's convenient place, from upstairs
and downstairs. just clear out all
the old cast-offs, take down most of
the shelves, leaving one arm level
for the telephone and books and pad,
and leave perhaps a very high shelf
for special use. Paint the washed
walls to match your hallway, or some
good contrasting color, place a COM
Portable straight chair beside the
telephone shelf, and there you are.
You can have the bell placed outside,
above the molding perhaps, so that
it can be easily heard, and the door
kept shut when the little room is not
In use.
And then that extra closet in the
dining room. Have your local handy
man-around- the-house fix it up.
Take the door off the hinges, make
the bottom portion of the closet into
drawer space for linens, and then
shelve the rest of the space off, with
perhaps simple cornice or molding
at the top. 1t makes an ideal place to
display the family heirlooms-the
few pieces of Wedgewood you are so
proud of, for instance. Built-in eff
fects of this sort are becoming more
and more popular. They don't jut

space, and are perfectly grand deco
rative features.
You can use that same idea for
the extra kitchen closet. Oh, there
are dozens of uses for these orphan
closets. You can easily convert them
into dressing table space, little sewing
rooms, tiny breakfast nook, a study
table space for the boys room, and
so on. A bit of carpentry work which
adds up to practically nothing, and
then good paint job which will cost
so little-just the price of the paint
itself, for you can apply it yourself
and have fun in the doing.

gress says they can't"
After burst Of applause from many
spectators in the crowded, sweltering
court room. McCann, coetless and
perspiring, continued:
"You can fire a man for any other
reason, but Congress has said you
can't fire him just because he belongs
to the union"
The examiners remarks came after
several witnesses testified yesterday
they were discharged by the Kits,
KY, company for union activity, but
that their employers gave other rea-
sons for their release. Complaints of
Wagner act violations against the COM
pany were filed by the United Mine

a former Clover Fork employe. testified
q company union fostered by the COM
pany had demanded discharge of all
employees afhliated with the U. M. w. A.
He said also an unnamed company
official told him and other employees
either to vote the Republican ticket
or get out"
