ED Moose" Moore's Mount
Clemens Dairymen, already as
sured of a place in the Macomb
county baseball league playoffs,
dropped their second game Of
the season yesterday at Utica,
IA. Previous to the start Sun
day the Dairymen had won
eight of their nine starts.
Porous fielding more than
poor hitting or poor pitching
spilled defeat for the local nine.
The Dairymen outhit their OPP
ponents nine to six, but commit
ted four costly errors.
Len latham started on the
mound for the locals but was
taken out at the end of the third
when Utica came through with
the first four runs of the game.
Arnie Hellner, regular first
baseman, replaced latham on
the hill and went the remainder
of the distance. In the fourth
Utica capitalized on three Mount
Clemens errors to push home the
deciding runs of the game. The
first man up in the inning came
through with a hit. Three err
rors and three fielder's choices
let in three runs.
The Dairy scored its four runs
in the seventh inning on three
singles, two errors, and q
sacrifice.
George Cramer, Mount Glenn
ems centerfielder, and Mike
Babe led the hitting. Cramer got
q double and single in five times
At bat; Babe two singles in four
attempts.
Bosko paced Utica with two
singles in four tries. Neither,
who did the chucking in the
last two innings for Utica, COL
lected two singles in Ave at
tempts.
Orville Smith started on the
mound for Utica but was re-
lieved at the end of the seventh.

Commander Hall Speaks
To Legion In Whiteuiue

WHITEVILLE, Feb. %. - "Our
armed forces will take are Of the de.
tense of America. but it is up to you
and me as individuals to preserve
it," State Legion Commander r.
Dave Hall declared here last night
at the 18th anniversary dinner of
post 1877 in the new Columbus hotel.
About sixty people were present for
the dinner, at which Post Comman-
der j.. A. Maultsby presided.
Commander Hall reminded his list
eners that before it became a ma
tional policy, the American Legion
at Boston urged all practical aid to
Britain" and said that with the
champions of democracy fighting
with their backs to the WALL the
very fundamentals upon which this
government was founded are being
threatened.
Commander Hall was introduced
by Judge j. J. Burney.

AIRPORT PROJECT
ALMOST COMPLETE
Many improvements are Ad-
ded in County-WPA Pro-
ject Costing $4,000

An improvement program FOL
Rluthenthal airport, located foul
miles from Wilmington on Gordon
road, is expected to be completed
at a cost of $196. 900 in the early
spring, it is stated by Addison
Hewlett, Sr., chairman of the New
Hanover board of commissioners
Three new runways, to be paved
with asphalt, as well as a new
apron and beacon lights, r in
Guided in the project, and are be-
ing constructed under joint WPA
and county sponsorship with c. T.
Walker as superintendent. A total
of 100 men is employed on the
project.
Grading, surfacing, and draining
of the runways has already been
completed, and a rock foundation
laid on two. Workmen are be-
ginning the foundation for the
third.
When this work is completed,
Mr.. Hewlett said, the runways will
be paved and the hangar moved
500 feet toward the city.
The county commissioners, as
we'll as Warren Pennington, who
has been manager for the airport
for the past 8 years, are confident
that these new facilities will bring
more business to the airport. 1t
will also mean better service for
the newcomers to Wilmington with
the defense program.
Meanwhile, they are hoping that
the Civil Aeronautics Authority
will authorize the application of
Canadian-Colonial airlines from a
passenger service from Toronto to
Nassau, with Wilmington one stop.
Possibilities that the airport
might be used by the government
for defense purposes have not been
confirmed to date, but expanding
business is expected during the
coming year.
Bluethenthal airport was begun
in 1927 on county property at the
petition of Pennington and others,
and was named for the first Will
mington soldier to be killed in
the World war. The real construc-
ton program at the airport, how
ever, was not begun until 1884. l

.l5rty-salp convoy in mtd-\'-@ntc
headed for Britain. OF all TIE faarl-
cations they have offered tes world

bears tn be about the most rd5ejf0US.
London admits the loss ai even
hips by bombs and torpedoos and
mother that was crippled toundered
IN a storm at sea. This is heavy
enough toll, and, although It aaay be
q conservative statement of -n6Ings,
will be generally accepted as more
nearly accurate than the ridiculous
assertions from Berlin,
Nazi claims are in keeping with
Their customary eXaggerations. They
are about in line with pronounce
mcnts about advances into Russia.
which time has shown TO be wholly
erroneous in some respects. Days ago
they said with great gusto they had
made captures which best lnforma-
ton now available shows they have
not even yet obtained. But what is
the use Of having a propaganda bu-
rca if it doesn't work? Her Goeb-
bells evidently is determined that no
n shall charge him with failure
to earn his hire.
Germany's claim Of tremendous
destruction of the convoy apparently
is intended as an answer to the
Roosevelt ''shoot first speech Of
Thursday night, It may properly be
regarded as an evidence of jitters on
the part of the Nazis, and of fear
born of the new American policy to
attack axis vessels anywhere and
at any time they may be come upon.
At any rate, that was the widespread
impression created by absurd Nazi
claims Of sinkings in the convoy
carrying supplies to Britain.

he tried to get bPtk in the

The medical officers took one
look at him and laughed. They
said he was about the most
improbable applicant they had

is that Black took his case to

DRESIDENT WILSON ordered

troops in the Argonne-Meuse
campaign.
He continued wearing glasses

He is actuated entirely by pa

He is single, has no DEEPEN

1t is the poor eyesight that is
barring him from the service.
The army medical authorities
have turned him down several
times and so far he has been un-
able to overcome their objec-
tons though he still is trying.
From a strictly technical
standpoint the authorities are
right. of course. In fact, there is
nothing else they can do under

physical qualifications for mill

particular case, and probably in
thousands of other similar cases,
