Crop Spoilage "a

Prevention of waste in food
distribution will be vital factor
in the effort of Ashe cohnty's
5,142 farm operators and workers
to achieve their wartime food
production goals, it was indicated
today in survey by a leading
distributor of North Carolina
farm produce. $,3EuitycsG f-rg..
At least half of the estimated
81. 800, GOO annually lost from
spoilage and damage to North
Carolina fruits and vegetables a.
lone can be prevented by the use
of better grading, packing and by
better and more direct distribu-
ton methods. Earl r. French,
marketing director for Atlantic
Commission Company, ALP pro-
duce buying affiliate, declared in
the surveys summary. He in
dicated that further savings could
be realized from improved hand
ling of other North Carolina farm
products.
IF Ashe county farmers, work
ing with distributors, cut by half
the average 10 to IL per cent OF
fruit and vegetable shipments
lost through damage and spoilage,
they will have achieved the e.
quivalent Of a 5 to 6 per cent in
crease in production without any
extra acreage, seed, fertilizer, e.

the Naiman Photographers, winner
of first-half flags in both the De-
partmental weekday circuit and
Section A, National City League,

why. They've got everybody on it
but Ted Williams and Tiny Bonham.
Naiman boasts two of the best

tops the National City field with a
fat .489, and Tommy Howard, for

Golf Slam and Record
Offered Mrs. Stokes
In Mid-AAantic
D. C., Maryland Winner
Could Stond Alone by
Victory in August

Never before has a local feminine
golfer won the big three women's
golf championship in a single year,
but that is the ambition of Mrs.
Walter r.. Stokes, the methodical
linkswoman from the Manor Coun-
try Club. With two of the big three
championships already in her we'll
stocked trophy bag she Is we'll along
the road to accomplishing the feat.
In successive weeks she won the Dis
tract and the Maryland women's
championships, in themselves quite
a stunt.
Next stop. and the last one on
the long road to the little slam of
the long road to the little slam of
the Middle Atlantic championship,
coming up at Congressional in Au-
gust. But Mrs. Stokes isn't sure
she can play in this tourney. Her
husband, physician and 20 years
ago an internationally famed rifle
shot, expects an early Army call,
possibly to be sert to New Mexico.
If he goes there the District cham
pion will go with him.
Mrs. Stokes, on the crest of a
winning year which already has
carried her to two championships,
hardly has been pushed in winning
them. She hasn't won any really
close ones Of the extra hole variety.
All of her matches have been won
long before the 18th hole, and her
power has been the outstanding
factor in her victories. That and
her putting. She hasn't always
been good putter, but by hard
work and tick-to-itiveness she has
made herself one of the best in the
game locally.
Many people, viewing Mrs. Stokes
rise to the championship heights in
this links neighborhood hold that
Mrs. Stokes might do we'll in the
national women's championship.
Probably she would do all right, but
that won't be known this year, for
the women's title tourney has been
Cancelled.
Whatever the case the little woman
from Manor. who has been playing
golf only eight years, has done a
good job, and will be the outstand-
ing favorite to win the Mid Atlantic

Jamison Urges Plan
For Only PGA Men
As USGA Pros
Idea Is Radical as Less
Than Sixth Of Clubs
Are in Organization

The Professional Golfers Associa-
ton of America is overlooking
bet in not promoting the interests
of all pGA members by recon-
mending only those members for
club professional jobs.
This is the opinion of AL Jamison,
East Potomac Park pro, who thinks
the PGA and the United States Golf
Association should work out an
agreement with USGA member
clubs to enforce hiring of men who
meet the PGA membership pro-
visions. This means five years Of
apprenticeship and proof of COM
petence
Jamison's thought is radical and
probably won't catch on, for al
though there are about 5000 golf
clubs in the United States fewer
than 300 of them are members of
the USGA. Furthermore, the PGA
never has put the screws on private
country clubs to hire only PGA
members, for the pro golf body in
thought and deed is benevolent
organization, with little thought of
union principles.
Around Washington most Of the
pros are members of the PGA,
which has a strong local unit in
the Middle Atlantic section. But
a few organizations employ pros
who are rot PGA members.
