SPORTS PARADE
Melton Comes to DODGERS

full time resident to Ebbets Field
where the duster is allegedly con-
sidered a work of art.
AUSPICIOUS ENTRY
Melton made an auspicious entry
into the National League with the
Phils in l941 Manager Hans Lob
ert, coming to training camp on an
early inspection tour, discovered
his lanky rookie had been there
days before working out. But his
elation at this freshman display
of ambition was somewhat dis
PEELED when he discovered that
Pappy Melton, his wife and the
rest of the family completed an
eager encourage.
Lobert tactfully sent the nom
pitching Meltons homeWard and
took on Rube for two moderately
successful but none the less in
teresting seasons. Melton display
ed two regular idiosyncrasieS. He
believed he was a terrific hitter.-
although that is a common belief
among major league moundsmen-
ana he continually threatened to
quit. AS regularly as clockWork,
Rube announced his intention 10
give up national league ball and
play independently in Puerto Rico.
Iobert, famous as a diplomat,
stopped that one easily. He always
gave the go ahead" signal but the
club refused to pay the fare. Mel
ton remained
TYPICAL STORY
Melton's teammates bee m e
somewhat thick skinned to Rube's
conformist attitude but the story
they like to tell best about their
hillbilly hurler from North Caro-
lima goes like this.
Rube was working a night game
for Columbus of the American AS
sociation some time ago and after
few innings the Red Birds took
their places without a pitcher-a
normal procedure for few min
utes or SO. Rube had apparently
gone to make a quick change OF
shirts and his mates tossed the ball
around. Time and the fans pa
tience flew rapidly however as Mel
ton failed TO return. The umpires
fidgeted and the fans began a series
Of loud razzberries when like a
Homecoming pigeon, Melton show
ed up and finished the game.
Not until the game was over did
anyone discover that Melyton had
not changed his shirt or so much
as mopped his brow. He blithely
revealed that he had been outside
the park, swapping tales with a
friend in a parked car.
It was a curious way OF exhibit
ing major league ability, OF course.
but a none-the-l certain method
Of demonstrating natural affinity
for Brooklyn and the Dodgers.

Ortiz left Ell Centro more than

Contaminated Food
 Menace To Health
Danger Signals of Food SpOiIage Posted to Warn
 Housewives; Deaths From Poisoning Frequent

fruit, meat, and fish were also at times incriminated. Fatal poisoning from commercially canned goods, however, Is actually rare"
 Warning also is given against buying illegally prepared or dis- tributed meats, because 1t is highly unpatrlotlc and encourages a criIn- inal class. "A disregard of the usual sanitary measures goes hand in hand with the sale of such pro- duets" Other advice about the purchase and preparation of meats also is offered as follows:
 Under the present situation, many families will purchase supplies of meat for 0 week or more at Q time, No more should be bought than can be adequately refrigerated for harmful bacteria. multiply rap- idly at room temperature. Meats, as well as other perishable foods, will also be more frequently pre- pared or cured at home for use over extended periods, necessitating spe- cal attention to sanitary measures to preclude contamination.
 Another source of danger from food is declared to lie in the use Of plants growing wild, particularly mushrooms, and mistaking Q poisofl- ous plant for an edible one."
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-04-07

American women, especially the housewives, are urged by the Sta- tisticianS of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company to be more than ever on guard against contaminated food. The statisticians declare that even in times of plentiful food sup- piles the number of deaths from food poisoning is far from insignifi- cant, while the number of persons made seriously i'll by partaking of contaminated food runs to many thousands annually.
 The statisticians list as some of the danger signals of food spoilage--
 Cans with bulging ends,
 Glass containers showing seepage
 over the tops,
 Food dIscoloration.
 As canned goods may be kept ip the home for longer periods now than has been the custom in other years, the statisticians explain that "lt Is then doubly necessary to make sure that the can has not become damaged, allowing entry to disease --producting bacteria.
 Suspected foods should never be tasted to discover spoilage, since even small amourts of some bac- terially infested foods can cause Illness or death."
 The statisticians remind home food. .canrers that canned foods must be thoroughly steriliZed to safeguard against botulism, a highly fatal type of food poisoning. Most cases of the kind that have oc- cured involved vetgetblss; but

of spectators.
 The first alarm was registered at 2;2A o'clock when Q child tenant of the block, Jimmie Raimonte, in- formed George Y. Hankey, owner of tho Arrow Radio Shop, on the ground floor, that there was smoke In his house. The boys parents, Mir. and Mrs, Sebastian Raimonte, were not at home at the time. MT, Hankey Investigating discovered the tenement on fire. Shortly after ar. rival of the first pieces of apparatus Chief Thomas J. Cavananugh sent word to headquarters for additional apparatus.
 Within 0 few minutes after dls- covery the upper floors of the build Ing were Q mass of flames. For Q time 1t appeared as if the entire building and an adjoining structure near West Liberty street, was extending to the Bank street bridge, doomed. Bremen directed several lines of hose from front and from the rear yards adjoining the rail- road tracks. The wind hitting on high blew the water from the noZ- hles back into the faces of the dee termined flremen.
 The speed with which the fire de- Veloped was not attributed to the wind, but to cans of kerosene stored in the various tenements. There was no actual violations of the law in this respect, 1t being the only possible place of reserve for the residents.
 The fire was brought under con. trol after Q three-hour battle,
 Salvation Army Aids
 During the excitement the home- less occupants found refuge in near by stores. Mrs. William Oberstadt and her five children were taken into the care of the Salvation Army whose representatives on the scene opened canteen in the office of the McElligott Service Station and fed tiremen and tenants with coffee and sandwiches.
 Employees of the Diamond Ginger Ale O., witnesses of the fire, took up Q collection and presented 1t, some $60, to one of the distressed families.
 Today the various tenants ap- pealed to the city for aid. They had lost practically everything in the fire and were without insurance.
 Tenants of Building
 Families residing in the destroyed building included: Mir. and Mrs, Tlorio, Flavio RoSate, Mrs. Antoin. cite Tammaro, Mir. and Mrs. Sebas- ton Raimonte and son; MT. and Mrs. George E. Hankey and three children; MT. and Mrs. Giuseppe CoEZa, MT. and Mrs. Frank Mitchell, Vincenzo Orso, MT. and Mrs. Will liam Oberstadt and Ave children; Michael Tigue, Mrs. s. Britton and MT. and Mrs. Frank Belloisy,
 Commercial tenants include D, L.. Iaiennora, tavern proprietor: E, F. Ziegler, plumber; and MT. Han- key, radio shop owner,
 The building, according to A.. Henry Weisman, rental agent, was only partially insured.
