CONSERVATION
Continued from Page One)

Flood control plans that allow
greater use Of larger amounts of
land, and the reclamation of many
acres of more land is an impor-
tant national issue. 1t is impera-
tive that our thinking, though it
be local and state in scope. should
encompass the national picture for
this program of conservation"
The days program began with
a parade of floats and military
bands from nearby Camp
Lejeune. Following a barbecue
dinner. Col. Gillette and DR.. Walk
CT B. Healy, pastor OF the. First
Presbyterian church of Fayette-
vile, spoke.
Col. Gillette, a native of Onsow
and now stationed in Atlanta, Ca,
coupled his plea for conservation
Of natural resources with ad-
vocacy of adoption of universal
military training to keep the ma
tons manpower and materials in
balance for adequate defense.
"Universal military training is
the ~fairest, most democratic, most
economical and most certain of all
the available mean for meeting
the manpower requirements es-
sential to our national security"
he declared.
'Improved health alone will
more than justify any costs for
universal military training. But
the training of men is not the
only step we must take because
it must be balanced with research
and development, with adequate
world intelligence, with plans for
industrial mobilization, and with a
relatively small, highly efficient
regular force supported by strong
active reserves"

BEHIND
HOME PLATE
By DOUG STEWART

Dick Williams, who never fully
recovered from being ''beaned" dur
ing an exhibition game before the
season opened, has been sold to
Herb Brett's Danville, Va, club.
There was plenty of action and
some real drama in that game with
Wilmington at the Stadium last
Wednesday night, when young Curt
Simmons, whose only loss of the
season was suffered at the hands of
the Owls in Wilmington on June
25-he had won his other five starts
again went down to defeat.
Simmons continued his amazing
strike out record, whipping a third
strike past eleven Hagerstown bat
tiers, but he still suffers from Wild
ness and issued thirteen bases on
balls. 1t is interesting to note, how
ever, that of the Owls five runs, only
two were scored by batters who got
on base on walks. In two successive
innings he had the bases loaded with
only one out, but in each case he
pitched himself out of the hole with
out run being scored.
A really dramatic note was in
iected into the hectic game in the
bottom half of the seventh inning
when, with the bases loaded and two
out, manager Bunny Griffith went
in to hit for Jenis.
Bunny showed plenty of ''moxie"
injecting himself into the game as
pinch-hitter in spot like that, but
the spunky little Owls manager took
his chance and the fans showed that
they liked it. Bunny nearly won
the game too. He hit a short liner
to center that Sanicki just snagged
after hard run.
But the real drama came in the
bottom half of the ninth. With one
out, the bases loaded, and the score
tied, Gene Joselane, who pitched
the seventh and eighth innings,
stepped to the plate. Gene hasn't
been too effective at the plate this
year - his batting average as he
went to bat was .259-and he has
had tough going against lefthanded
pitchers But Gene got the sweetest
hit he will probably get all year, a
single to left, that not only won the
game for Hagerstown, but made him
the winning pitcher.
My comment on this game would
not be complete without word Of
praise for every member of the
Hagerstown team, who played
heads up ball all the way, and 6
special pat on the back for Charlie
Miller, who pitched his best game
of the year during the seven innings
he was on the mound.
