WHENEVER / hear about anybody
having a big family think Of Dad
and Ma Hoskins. The Hoskins' had
thirteen children.
They weren't bad bunch OF Kids,
by and large - but it seemed one
or the other of them would always
be having a fuss with the neigh
bors. or would break a window
playing baseball, or some other kid
trick. Kept Dad and Ma mighty
busy all the time.
One day Dad got a bright idea.
He called the whole family to-
gether for a special meeting at the
dinner table.
He told them he was tired of
checking up on them all the time.
He said he thought they were old
enough now to check up on them
selves. The older children would
watch the younger ones. They
would have meetings every so
often and hand out rewards or
punisnments.
Well, il was a crazy idea but the
kids liked IL and they started be-
having better than they ever had
before. The idea worked and Dad
finally did get a little time for him
self.

Ray Minter, Brawley high school
miller, is probably the best distance
man ever to come out of Imperial
Valley.
The Negro lad has twice bettered
the county record for the mile, the
last time for a full ten seconds.
The first time that Minter ran
the distance this year he did it in
about 5 min. 10 sec. and he has
improved every meet since.
In the county meet he ran the
mile in min. 500 sec, he did it
at the san Diego CIF qualifying
meet in 4 min. 44.6 sec. and he has
min. 389 to his credit at the
Glendale finals.
Although only a junior, Ray will
be too old to compete in athletics
in high school next year. If he still
works next season. although not in
authorized competition, he will prob
ably improve to such an extent that
he will be fine college material,

extended hitting streak of Sc con-
SeCutive games was probably the
most outstanding of marks shatter-

not stopped until July II. During
this period he made 81 hits which
included l6 doubles four triples

Bill Dickey Yank catcher, also
added couple records to the books
