For instance, the capacity of the
Bluffton generating plant of the Cen
trail Ohio Light G. Power company is
1880 k. W. and the capacity of the
Bluffton municipal plant is 1890 k.
W. The combined output of both
plants (about nine times what it takes
to supply Bluffton) would be barely
sufficient to operate one destroyer.
And when you are reminded that each
destroyer carries for emergency use a
second power unit of equal size, you
may begin to realize the electrical re-
quirements of Uncle Sans navy. We
don't know how many kilowatts it re-
quires for battleship-we were so
overwhelmed by the figures on de-
stroyer that we didn't ask.

Part of the crowd walked along
with the procession, keeping pace

handclapping kept up as more peo-

Mr.. Wrinkle marched stiff1y. He
tried to keep in time with the mu-

gave it up. He wondered what the
other men were doing, but didn't
look back to see. Once someone in
the crowd on the sidewalk called
out: Hi, Wrinkle! Grind their Axis

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-During
the past year this department
has at various times reported
efforts on the part of organized
baseball to encourage kids to play
ball. The results appeared rather
discouraging after the recent
minor and major league meet
ings, when the majors failed to
string along with the minors in
appropriating money to support
a series of clinics projected by
the High School Committee, and
all hands fought shy of imposing
penalties for signing high school
kids to professional contracts.
But we can't get pinched for
trying, so here's another sug-
gestion for baseball and other
sports bodies that want to stimu-
late Junior competition.
We recently borrowed a hand
full of pamphlets published by the
American Legion, the National
Recreation Association and the
FSA Committee on Physical Fit
ness. These groups, cooperating
to a certain extent, have the
common idea thai all people, but
especially the youngsters, should
participate in sports that will

provide an even wider competi-

kids who don't play under Legion
sponsorship need their cham

of developing good athletes, but
