Be Prepared Anyway
In reference to your editor
ial American Fatalism" of
the week May 9.
You state truthfully in say
ing "All reasons for the entry
of the U. S. into the foreign
war are now made valid by
law"
True, yes, but you made no
mention of the time coming
when we will have to protect
our own peace-loving country
from the tentacleS of the for
eign powers. And that's not
an impossible movement as
some narrow-minded thinkers
would have you believe. Nor
way, being located off to her
self above the arctic circle,
fell back upon that idea too,
until the long arm of war
reached out ruthlessly and
smashed her into helpless
ness. A very good example
why we should prepare, to the
extent Of our ability, for the
moment when the mailed
fist" pounds at our front door.
To back my words, turn
your thoughts northward to-
wards Canada. Frankly, you
are as far removed from a
country at war as the dis
tance from your home to the
Canadian border. And yes,
its true, that the same Allan
tic which stands between the
u. S. and the blood-drenched
countries Of Europe, also
stands between Canada. But
should Germany blanket the
whole Of Europe in her cease
less grasp of power, Canada,
a subject of England, will fall
under the mighty helm Of
German rule. Certainly plac-
ing the danger on our door
step. Roaring planes, with
their deadly bombs, would, in
a matter of hours, rain de-
struction and death with all
its horribleness on our great
cities. The answer for us is
clear, stark and alarming.
AMERICA S HOULD BE
PREPARED TO RESPOND.
Authorities on military af-
fairs seem to be in a muddle.
Some bigwigs shout longly
and loudly that we are strong
and "rarin' to go" while 9TH
ers try to smother their en-
thusiasm by lamenting our
weakness. In Congress the
peoples servants" bat back
and forth the issue Of appro-
priations for safeguarding
our country. Crying that
economy is our only need, for.
getting the terrible figure Of
wars stakes ever nearer
There should be no doubt or
so vital a question. Either
we're ready or we are not
ready.

spent in the last war and pay

New Hanover Current Leaders
In Conference; Bulldogs
Defending Champs

The New Hanover High school
baseball team, leaders in the East
ern Glass A conference diamond
race, will play the Durham Bull
dogs, defending state champions, in
Durham this afternoon.
Victors over the Bulldogs by II
in a game here last week, Coach
Floyd Bumgarner will probably use
Allison Alderman or Roy Lamb on
the mound for the Wildcats.
Lamb handcuffed Durham with
six hits in their appearance here,
but Tuesday night in the game with
Raleigh, which was rained out in
the fourth inning, the husky right
handler was hit hard and often. The
game with Raleigh will be played off
on May 10.
Durham was sWamped by the
University of North Carolina fresh
men, Is to 10 in a game Tuesday.
The Cats lineup is expected to be
about the same as was used against
the Bulldogs here.
Raleigh is scheduled to meet the
LleQ-lOf-SecOnQ place wilson 11lSn
school nine today.
New Hanover will play a return
game with Wilson there next Tues
day and the local boys tennis team
will also play the Coons net squad
on the same date.
The high school swimming team
will accompany the baseball squad
today for a meet with Durham this
afternoon.

the first catch should cast his hook
off Mays Head Coast Guard Station
not later than the first of flood tide
on April 29th. AS I e it, after
reading all the signs including Will
Lewark and Charlie Perry, no big
catch may be expected at this time.
But new moon in May is the time l
set for the first big catch off Ore
gon. I feel sure the first fish
caught will be by Herbert Bonner
and that it will be a black fish at
least three inches long. 1t may be
a croaker but I am betting on a
black fish. Now, some OF o Will
saw 'You are wrong. Ray Adams
will get the first fish" [ don't
think So. Ray got the last n IN
the fall at Beaufort. 1t was one
night about ten o'clock after two
hours. Herbert usually lands much
orlicker when he gets a strike. He
landed two plump and juicy nes at
4th of July last year and
he done it in less than halt an hour.
Of course, he didn't land that Dig
strike he got at David Gaskllls dock
the night the engineer boat locked
there. But anyway, Herbert will get
the first fish.

DIZZY DEAN HURLS
FIVE HIT CONTEST
Derringer's Eleven-G Game Win
Streak Halted; Dir Uses His
Famous Nothing BALI
BY EARL HILLIGAN

CHICAGO, April rs. -R-O OF
Dig Dean chung doggedly to the
comeback trail today. He gamely
survived q wobbly start and pitch
ed a five-hit game as the Chicago
Cubs beat the Cincinnati Reds, 4
to 2.
Shooting his famous nothing
balF' across the plate in a 4O-degree
temperature, Dean bested the Reds
big mound star, Paul Derringer, in
a speedily played game which had
5000 fans giving Dig a great cheer
at the finish. Dean walked four
batsmen and had only one strike
out but it came on the final out
of the contest and at the expense
of Pinchhitter Wally Berger.
Dean, in winning his first game
of the season in two starts and
also swapping the string of II con-
%secutive National league victories
Derringer carried into the contest,
appeared headed for the showers
before the game was five minutes
old.
Bill Werber, Reds lead-off man,
opened the game with a pass and
Lon Frey also drew a base on
balls.
Ival Goodman hunted safely and
was hit on the back by Deans
throw. Werber scoring and Dig get
ting an error on the play. Frank
Mccormick was intentionally pass
ed to load the bases after which
Ernie lombard forced Frey at the
plate, Dean to AL Todd. Harry
Craft flied, Goodman scoring and
then Mike Mccormick grounded
out.
The Cubs came back with three
runs in the third. With one out,
Bill Herman walked and went to
third on Augie Galan's single.
Hank Leiber scratched a single,
scoring Herman and putting Galan
on third. Galan scored as Bill
Nicholson grounded out, but Phil
Cavarretta singled to center, scor-
ing Leiber, after which Todd sin
gled and Bob Mattick was tossed
out by Bill Werber.
The other Cub run was scored
by Dean himself. He singled to
open the sixth, was sacrificed to
second and came home on Herman's

cult AS Bob Feller Chalks
Up Another Victory

CLEVELAND, April 25.-P)-Bob
Feller conquered the Chicago White
Sox again today, 8 to 1, but it took
a pair of home runs-by Rollie
Hemsley and Jeff Heath-to turn
the trick.
The lad who opened the season at
Chicago with a no-hitter held the
Sox to six scattered blows until the
ninth frame, when the invaders con-
verted a walk and single into their
first score off Feller in IS innings.
Chicago collected eight hits, one
of them a triple by Bob Kennedy,
while the Tribe nicked Southpaw Ed
gar Smith for six and Clint Brown
for one. Brown succeeded Smith in
the eighth.
Hemsley blasted his homer into the
left field bleachers with two out in
the second. Heath rifled his circuit
clout with two down in the eighth.
1t was the outfielder's second home
run of the season.
Cleveland scored in the seventh on
a wild throw. Keltner opened With a
walk and scored when Kennedy
whipped the ball into right field at
tempting to catch Hemsley, who
hunted down the third base line.
