been accepted for limited service
but has not yet received orders

The Cardinals sent question
naries to all the men on their
roster but few reported any change
in draft status.
That doesn't mean anything, -
Breadon explained, except that
the draft boards haven't prog
ressed that far in their work.
Gas a matter Of fact. the only
players we can count on with any
degree of certainty are those class
flied At and even they may be
called for limited service. The sit
uation as it affects our personnel
is changing SO rapidly that infor-
nation We gather today is of little

most pessinistic statement made
to date by major league base.
ball executive, President Sam
Breadon of the st. Louis Cardinals
asserted today: THE way players
are being taken by the draft, it
does seem questionable whether
we'll have enough left to operate. ="
He said he considered 10 players
eight pitchers, two catchers, five
infielders and four charlottesville
absolute minimum with which a
club could go through the season.
Taking stock of his available
material, now that Shortstop Mar
tin Marion has been accepted for
military service, Breadon found he
did not have 10 men he could de-
pend on definitely to start the race
in April.
Marion is the latest of a long
list of Cardinal players in the

POSTWAR PLANS

Nichols said that the project

Nichols said that the project of
recreation in mind called for some
$4,000 to be spent for work to
be carried out at Greenfield park.
Also included in the recreational
program is work to be done at the
old Marine hospital site. He stat
ed that this area could become a
real recreational center. One thing
to be placed here would be an
auditorium. 1.-The city is not equip
ped at present to take care of any
great public gathering" the city
manager said.
The city approved a bond issue
of s1OO, 900 in December 1941, which
was to be used for the construc-
ton Of a new incinerator. The
small incinerator then in use was
not adequate to take care OF the
huge increase of waste due to the
great influx in population. 1t was
discontinued last June.
The city manager told members
CT the Junior Chamber last night
that since ad been in Whining
that since he had been in Whining
ton he had felt a great inspiration
in knowing that the group existed
and pushed on over tough spots
o the city's projects.
Addison Hewlett, chairman of the
New Hanover County Board OF
Commissioners, congratulated the
organization for work accomplish
ed and realized the splendid work
being carried on by the group,
even though being handicapped
with the man-power shortage, "
he said.
Speaking on the Tubercular SAM
forum, Hewlett told the group that
the county was the first to owl
a hospital of this type. However
the county was forced to abandon
it due to the expansion of the air
port
He told members of the Junior
Chamber that part of their duties
to the community were to see tina
if a citizen registered for the spe
cial election in March, that hi
should also vote so that the regis
tration would not be counted
against the election.
In expressing his gratitude fol
the interest and enthusiasm shown
Hewlett told the group that the
hospital was wonderful institu
ton which must be supported.
A. w. Smith of the Price Con
struction company, who is building
the city's pipe line to Kings Bluff
congratulated further the organiza
ton for their part in carrying thu
line through, in saying, sit woule
have been a shame to carry the
pipe line half way. This is the bes
pipe line that Price Construction
company has ever built. It is oul
best workmanship and best mate
~ial."
Smith explained in general the
construction of the line and tolt
members that one of the most in
teresting fetes during it's construc
ton was in bringing it across thu
Cape Fear river and sinking it
which was done in one operation
He invited members down to tn
construction site to view the pro
gress now being made.
John Sheehan, president of tn
Junior Chamber of Commerce, as
sured the three men that they ha
every assurance that the organiza
ton would cooperate in fuHthe
projects to be carried out for tn
betterment of the community.
Claude O'Shields, charter mem
Der and past president, told thos
present that one of the chief aim
of the group was to give thos
boys who saw a community wort
fighting for, a city worth living il
and raising a family in upon thei
