Persons who have observed the
Carolina football squad in its win
ter drills are already claiming that
Ray Wolf has the best material he
has had at Chapel Hill since Carl
Snavely left for Cornell and the
amiable Texan took over the grid
iron helm. But it's going to be
hard to beat the Tar Heels 1888
record which was marred only by
a defeat at the hands Of Duke and
a tie with Tulane. . . The Tar
Heels have a good running attack
for next fall, but it seems that
their entire aerial game is based
on whether or not Jim Lalanne can
make up enough back school work
to be eligible for play. . New
Hanover's Wildcats will resume
their baseball schedule Tuesday,
playing Whiteville, either here or
there, the site not yet decided. . .
Raleigh opened it's 1910 baseball
season with an impressive victory
over Cary. Do you realize that
Durham won three school titles in
conference play during 1939-40? -.
The development Of a golf tourna'
ment to attract the national pros
and amateurs would be a good
project for Wilmington to shoot at
some time in the near future while
plans for the 1941 winter circuit
are being made.

Sunday school basketball title on
the Y. M. G. A. court last night
by trimming the First Baptist quint
2s-14 after being held to a 1912
count during the first three periods.
The game turned out to be one
of Calvary's severest tests of the
season, with the Saturday cham
pions putting up a fine defensive
game and scoring almost pointer
point.
Calvary tailed first on a free
shot by Johnson but the Down.
towners tied it up with one of the
same variety. Rogers sent the win
ners ahead with a two-pointer and
then First Baptist went into the
cad for the first and only time
during the contest on another free
shot and FusselIs field goal. The
quarter ended at 4-3.
In the second quarter, Calvary's
marksmen found the range and tai
lied four field goals while holding
their opponents to two points. First
Baptist's third period rally mar
rowed the margin to three points as
the period ended at 1912 but there
their offense begged and they could
register only two points in the final
canto. The winners will be award
ed the trophy, symbolic Of the city

EFFECTIVE JUNE |
Laundry Workers Of State
Affected-32K Hourly
Minimum Wage

Hartford, Conn.,, May 13-The new
minimum wage order affecting the
laundry industry Of the state will
become effective June /, State La
Dor Commissioner Cornelius J. DAN
ahes announced today. The an
nouncement was made after Com
missioner Danaher approved the
recommendation OF the minimum
wage board for the industry which
have been promulgated In the form
OF Mandatory Wage Order Number
2.
Under the new order the mini
mum rate Of pay for laundry work.
ers will DO 80 10 cents an hour
with time and q half for work over
40 hours per week, although per-
mission to work employees over 40
hourS q week must be obtained In
advance from the labor commits
Sionef.
In setting the date when the Or
der becomes effective, Commission
or Danaher complimented laundry
employers for the cooperation eX-
tended the department and the
minimum wage board, citing par
ticularly the excellent compliance
with the previous minimum wage
order. The new order, the COM
missioner said, removes q disad-
vantage previously endured by small
Ter laundries. Under the previous
order, smaller laundries employing
workers O shorter number OF hours
were penalized by a higher rate.
Under the new order the pay rate
will be the same regardless OF the
size Of laundry working force and
the total number OF hours worked.
