BY Q Cook

Bert Hawley, athletic director Of the civ r.o-
reation department came up with this idea last nirht.
Why not organize a softball league for the benefit
Of the men who work at night and do not have the o.
p0rtunlty to play In the late afternoon and night?
This is a splendid suggestion and This corner Is for
II one hundred percent.
We think a league of about four teams to play two
games per week could be organized without too much
trouble.
The games could start in the morning or early aft
ernoon.
There are lots of men who love to play softball
but are handicapped by having to work at night. We
know this to be a fact. for we happen to be one of
those who burn midnight oil.
The league, as proposed by Hawley, will not be a
class A loop, but just a bunch of fellows who want to
play for the recreation and exercise.
If you are one of the fellows who love to plav. but
can't play in the late afternoon, get in touch with Bert
Hawley.
If enough interest is shown a meeting will be call
ed and plans made for the morning circuit"

Just about a week ago all you could hear on the
street corners was talk about the championship high
school basketball game and the grumbIing from those
who were unable to secure tickets.
1--WE need a larger indoor arena was the topic of
all conversations.
But what has happened? -. The game has been
played and everything has settled down to normal
again. No more g%rumbling about the larger arena .
Not now perhaps, but how about next year?
go. And, how about the other indoor sports that
could be brought here IF we had a larger arena?
Now is the time for action. Do you think we need
a larger indoor arena -. We would like to have your
comments on this. Drop us a letter and express your
self. If the letter is signed and you desire we will print
it in this column.
If we are to get the arena, it will require the CO.
operation of every s~ports-minded person in this COM
munity.
The Wilmington morning star., 1947-03-20

Shortly after the above was written, Aubrey
Thompson, a member of the Wilmington Junior CHAM
Der of Commerce, revealed that he will introduce a plan
for the construction of a large indoor auditorium to
the board of directors of the Jaycees at their next reg
uar meeting.
Aubrey and | have talked about this plan on sew
eral occasions and we think it is a very good one -.
It will require an outlay of something like 100000 to
construct the arena, according to Thompson's plan.
The Junior Chamber of Commerce is an organiza-
ton that has been very successful in their past I'M
d~ertakings. We sincerely hope that the board will give
Thompson's idea every consideration and make some
sort of arrangements to push this idea.
The Jaycees, with the cooperation and support OF
the other civic clubs and business establishments OF the
city can put this plan over Let's get behind the
movement and make Wilmington's number one sports
need a reality.

Community Will
 Receive Report Of X-ray Examination

Many perosns in the Nome area who take advantage of the com munity chest x-ray survey will receive through the mall, white card entitled Report of X-ray Examination"
 On this card will be stamped the project number of the Nome sur vey, the film number of the per sons x-ray, and the date taken. There will also be checked one of the following three items: normal chest, healed primary tuberculo- sis, or healed pleurisy. This card is the individuals record of hlS X-ray and means that at the pres ent time, there is no sign of a lung condition which required further care at this time
 A great number of adults have had primary tuberculosis, prob ably which occurred during child hood, and which healed of its own accord. A person with active pri- mary tuberculosis is rarely ill and the patient usually recovers with out knowing that he has had tu- berculosis. This type is rarely dangerous, even when active, either to the individual or to his associates as he can seldom spread his germs to others. Calcium usu- ally surrounds the germs, walling them off, and this condition is spoken of as healed primary tu- berculoSis.
 Because this wall may break down, if the persons resistance becomes lowered, it is advised that such persons have a yearly x-ray from their private physician at the time of their periodic physi- cal examination.
 The term healed pleurisy" when checked on the card means

Taft Pledges Social Legislation

PORTLAND, Ore. (P)-A pow erful campaign to force early ac- tion by Congress on so-called "So- ciar" legislation was mapped Sat urday by Senator Taft R. Ohio as an apparently integral part of his expected bid for the 1948 Re- publican Presidential nomination.
 Despite his forecast of opposi- ton by other Republicans, the Ohio Senator stood committed to head a drive for legislation to ex- pand old age assistance, increase unemployment compensation, con struct public housing and provide te-administered federal aid for health and education
 All this, Taft told an audience of Republican club members at Gearhart, Ore, Friday night, may cost the federal government a bill lion dollars a year.
 COnceding that the after-war budget situation may force modest beginning" nevertheless Taft said he believes "the Repub- lican party will and should pro- ceed with these measures in the next session."

SPORTS
 ROUNDUP
tBY Hugh Fullerton. Jr.)

NEW YORK, (P)-First returns on the l947 high school stars: J. W. Jeffcoat, l60-pound speed Ster of Columbia, s. C., Olympic High, scored six touchdowns in his teams opener against York on runs of 95, 92, 65, 45, 32 and 5 yards. Two others were called back. The next week Jeffcoat tallied three time and averaged nearly 20 yards per carry, despite a cracked rib. On the next-to-last play of that game he suffered a fractured vertebra and won't play again until next year, but the college scouts will be watching him then. He's State high school sprint champ and they say he's faster than Charley Justice was in his school days and just as elu- Sive. Yin Drake of Ansonia, Conn, high pitched a pass 53 yards in the air to teammate Al Webb to score against Shelton .. |. Rocky Mount, N. C., High boasts an attendance off about 5000 for each of it's first two games-out of a 34,OOO population.
 When the Dodgers clinched the National league pennant at ll:39 pm. (EDT) it was obvious that many of the players already were snuggled in bed and wouldn't eel ebrate until the next morning. . The Topeka, Kas., State Journal took official notice of that fact with an eight-column headline: "Revelry at Reveille for Buns as Cards Lose"

United States. He planes his own countrymen for seeking an easy way out. Bevin is looking fol an other "easy out" through his share American gold" plan.
 The United States has been any- thing but niggardly in extending financial aid to Britain and oLhec war devastated countries. Gut sharing American wealth is not the way to get them back on their own economic feet. More wealth must be created if there is tc be enough to go around. And more wealth can be created only through greater production.

that the individual at some time in the past has had pleurisy, either of a tuberculous or other origin, which has healed. Pleurisy is a disease of the lining of the chest cavity and the tissue surrounding the lungs. If this is checked on the card, it is important that the indi- vidual have periodic chest x-rays so that the condition may be fol- lowed.
 A normal chest means that there is no sign of disease in the chest area. Persons with other condi- tionS present will be notified by letter or phone.
