By THEODORE A. EDIGER

MEXICO CITY, March 21-R)-
Juan Zurita, newly-crowned MIA
Lightweight fistic king who meets
Beau Jack March 81 in New

His father was a general in the
Mexican revolution two decades

preceded him as glove-throwers.
1t was brother Benjamin, eight
years older then the champ, who
first interested juan in the SPORT.
Benjamin was a boxer and little
Jua would accompany him. carry
ing his equipment.
At IA, "Juanito" participated in
Mexico City preliminaries.
Now, at q, he is the idol of
Mexican sports fans who cheer
him as the first native-born Mexi-
can to win a worlds boxing crown.
After more than 10 years of
campaigning through Southwest
ern United States, Mexico, Cuba
and Panama, Zurita finally hit the
heights when he dethroned Sammy
Angott two weeks ago in Cali
fornia.
The new champion is a partner
in real estate business in Mexi-
CO City and he expects to be
real estate man long after he quits
the ring.
"After defending my title one
more time. regardless of the out
come, I plan to retire from the
ring and devote all my time to
my business" Zurita said.

hit the rainbow's pot of gold and
won the rich Charlotte Open golf
tournament today, edging out jug
McSpaden by single stroke with
a 72-hole total of 275.
McSpaden made a great bid for
closing 10, two under par, but
the popular soldier from the
Greensboro AAF Station had en-
ough left to get home in 70 despite
slicing out of bounds on the list
hole and leaving the door wide
open for McSpaden.
On the critical par five 18th
with Dutch one stroke ahead, two
holes to go and thousands of fans
lining the fairway, the flying Ark
ansas sawyer hit his tee shot into
the road parallel, out of bounds.
After this nerve-shattering blow,
he played the second ball for a
fine four on the 500-yard-long hole.
McSpaden, just off the green in
two shots, Clipped short and need
ed two puts. His chance to get
back the precious stroke was gone
forever, for on the 18th soldier
Dutch hit the back of the green

rounds of 67-71 -68-70-276, twelve
under par, but he never was ahead
of Harrison. McSpadens second
prize amounted to $500. The
great Byron Nelson, back on his
game, equaled Harrison's course
record 66's and slid into third place
at 279.

70 on the closing stretch for
281 and fourth place.

rison to the wire, was sixth at 205
and a closing 70. Bob Hamilton
of Evansville, Ind, the new North
and South king, was seventh at

five UP by birdieing the first hole

MOUNTAIN LIFE
DESCRIBED HERE

The Rev. Samuel Wander Nicer,
assistant pastor of the First Pres
byterian church and uncle of
Johnnie Wander Nicer, the pitcher,
told the Kiwanis club on Wednes-
day something of the life at Nor
ris Fork, Ky, where he and his
wife worked for years among the
mountain folk who, though cut off
from the outside world have found
the way to an abundant life.
Roads end at Buckhorn, some
six miles away. Thence to Morris
Fork travel is by mule or horse
back, with grades so steep that
the rider must hold by the name
uphill and the tail downhill or land
in the brush. Once arrived, the
visitor finds terraces and drains
and other modern devices for
competent farming on hill sides,
and type of community life
which measures well up to aver
age, with school and church at
tendance large and town activi-
ties of a high standard.
But this is all new. Once the
settlement was more accustomed
to the bark og ASS and the sight
of smoke spiraling not from burnt
over fields but stills. The change
came, or started, with the periodi-
cal visits of the Rev. Ike Cab
bard who finally secured Mr.. Van
der Nicer to carry on the work
he had started in a day-by-day
ministration to overcome the ig-
norance, prejudice and sloth of
the people.
Mr.. Wander Nicer said that while
his Wilmington affiliation has been
all that man could desire, he looks
forward to the time it will be
possible for him to return after
the emergency here has passed,
as one looks ahead to going home
after a visit.
Luther A. Rainey distributed
new song books to the members
of the club.

fulfilled in ''the fullest possible
manner. This tax was enacted I'M
der the solemn pledge that it
would be used only as a temper
airy emergency measure"
Noting increased Federal in
come taxes, he also advocated
substantial deductions from per-
conal income tax returns for Cd
Federal tax payments; 90 Insur-
ance payments, and 90 medical
and hospital bills"
DR.. Mcdonald, making his Sec
ond bid for the nomination, and
MS campaign manager, E. D.
Broadhurst of Greensboro, an
nounced that state headquarters
would be opened in the Hotel Sir
Walter in Raleigh next Monday.
High in his 24-point program.
DR.. Mcdonald listed "a strong
temperance stand,' among other
things, advocated educational pro-
gress, a major postwar road
ouiloing program, increased farm
income, adequate pay for state
employees, full provision for re-
turning service men and women,
opposition to the sales tax, re-
duction in the personal income
tax, payment of the state general
fund debt, and development of
aviation.
He said he stood for "a school
program which will give to every
child in North Carolina educa-
tional opportunities equal to any
in the nation.''
