IS YOUNG
 TURNING PRO?

New York-At the moment the nation is buzzing with the rumor that Buddy Young, Uni versity of Illinois football star, is considering terminating his college career and accepting an offer from the New York Yankees to play with them for three year period.
 Since returning East from the Rose Bowl Game in which he was the spearhead of a great victory, Young has not been back at the University of Hi nois campus. The reports have it that he has not taken any of his mid-year examinations.
 On the other hand reports are flying thick and fast that he has been offered $125, ,OOO by the Yankees of the All-Ameri- can Conference to play with them. The Yankee manage ment has denied this report, which is natural enough for there is a ruling against any league team making definite ar engagements with any college player until he has played his ast college football game.
 But if the report is true and Young does appear with the Yankees next Fall, at this stip- ulated sum, he will be getting more for his efforts than the famous Trippi of the Univer- sity of Georgia.
 Buddy is married and has a youngster and it is reported that he is much concerned about his ability to support his family immediately.

JOINT GOVERNORS IN GEORGIA

Atlanta = True to Georgia form the whole legislature brawl in Georgia has turned out to be one grand mess. The state now has two Governors and both incumbents seem to have considerable backing. First one side holds a meeting then the other gets it's crowd together. In the meantime the bank that usually handles the administration checks refuses to pay any bills until the Court decides who the real Governor is. By the same token the High way Commission finds itself out of funds and unable to continue with it's program.
 Something like 1900 students marched on the State Cdp1t0l the other day yelling "Heil Herman" Their objective was to get the immediate resigna- tion of Governor Talmadge. But they did not have any success with their venture.
 In the meantime Governor Talmadge made a fiery speech to the General Assembly offer ing to submit his immediate resignation providing Thomp- son would do the same and providing he would agree to a run-off in a "white primary.

HEYDEN CORP.
 ACQUIRES NAL co.

the f16yOon CuomlCdl COrpOrd' tion of the Nyal Company, one of the nations largest drug dis tributors, was announced to- day.
 B. R. Armour, President o1 Heyden, which is a leading pro- ducer of industrial and medicin- al chemicals as we'll as penicil- lin, said his company has ob- tained more than 99 per cent of the outstanding common htock of the Nyal Company from Sterling Drug, Inc, New York, for an undisclosed sum.
 The Nyal Company, with it's main office and warehouses in Detroit and branches in New York, Atlanta, Kansas City and San Francisco, has been known in America for quality drugs since 1898 when it was formed as the New York and London Company. It was incorporated as the Nyal Company in 1913
 It distributes more than 200 Nyal-labelled over-the-counter drug items through a nation wide network of franchised re- tail outlets and employs a large sales staff. a...
 Among the items it distrib- utes are medicinals, including vitamins; cough and cold re- medies; antiseptics, analgesics, ointments and powders; laxa- tives, effervescent salts, and the trademarked Tender Age line of baby oils, powders, creams, etc. In addition to the drug items, Nyal distributes an ex- tensive line of drug sundries.
 Five Heyden officials have been elected to. the Nyal Board of Directors to replace Sterling personnel. In addition to MT. Armour, they are Dr. R. W. Harris, Heyden Vice-President !; Paul van der Stricht, Secretary /; Dr. Gregory Stragnell and Dr. H. A. Cheplin, President of Jamieson. Pharmacal Co.,, De- troit, drug manufacturing firm which was acquired by Heyden in 1945.
 It is not expected that there will be any change in general Nyal poicies.
 The purchase of Nyal is the sixth important acquisition by Heyden in the ast two years. In 1945, in addition to acquir- ing the assets of the Jamieson Company, Heyden aso obtained a majority of the stock of the American Plastics Corporation, makers of casein plastics, in Bainbridge, New York.
 In 1946, Heyden purchased a penicillin plant in Princeton, N. J., which it had been op- erating under Government lease since 1943, and acquired a basic chemicals plant in Memphis, Tenn.
 The same year Heyden bought a substantial interest in the stock of the American Pot ash and Chemical Corporation, Trona, Calif., leading West

SPORTS REVIEW
 By Johnnie Stewart

Claude Buddy" Young, a Methodist, is the first Protest ant ever named to an "All Cath olic-All America football team.
 The mix4up started when Jimmy Powers, New York Daily News sports columnist, who was helping to select a stand-out Catholic eleven for Extension Magazine, national Catholic monthly, was enormously in formed by a publicity man at the University of Illinois that Young is a Catholic.
 Powers then nominated the speedy Negro halfback, who
 as subsequently, named along with Herman Wedemeyer, of St. Mary's, Johnny Lujack, of Notre Dame, and Doe" Blanc hard, of Army.
 When Young was told of his selection by the Catholic publi- cation and given a miniature gold football, emblematic of his nomination, he immediately returned the award, explaining he was a non-Catholic.
 Meanwhile, the Extension edi- tors were informed by Father Edward J. Duncan, University of Illinois chaplain, that the gridiron star was a Methodist
 was too late, then; all selec- tions had already been made.
 Now, however, the editors of Extension plan a presentation party at Champaign, H., for Methodist Buddy Young, who will again be presented with the miniature gold football, making him a full-fedged mem Der of. the "All Catholic-All America" football team.

Last week s match at the Hartford Auditorium between Tony Falco and Bobby Pryor proved that two things are evident and need correction if boxing is to survive.
 We do not question the sin cerity of the promoter for we happen to know that each time he attempts to match two fight CTS with impressionable records, he runs up against a stone wall.
 In landing the Falco-Pryor Most managers want soft touch es for their boys.
 match, promoter Gus Brown had natural and everyone at tending expected to see a real fight. We'll, they did and they saw Tony Falco get the worst beating of his career only to see referee (the aged) digger Mccarthy call the match a draw and save a lot of money for the smart money boys who had posted two to one, and eight to five odds against a man who had put Red Doty away. The two things that should be investigated are the referee situation, and the fact that the betting boys seem to know in advance the outcome of bouts.

BURNING-OFF PRACTICE
HARMFUL TO FARMLAND

Ohio Fran Bureau Officials
annually point out to the farmers
of the state the injurious effect
"burning-off'' practices have on
farm land when carried to ex-
tremes stating that when the
vegetation is burned, other parts
of the soil are destroyed, includ-
ing humus, soil porosity and mic
roscopic plant and animal life
necessary for plant growth, add
ing that it takes several years
to build back these resources.
Many farmers follow the prac-
tice of burning of stubble fields
before blowing believing that it
destroys weed seed when actually
most seeds resist a great amount
of heat especially flash fires that
move rapidly across field.
Aside the damage to soil nut
rients the danger of starting for
est fires is a serious factor to
consider since about 38 per cent
of the states forest fires are start
ed by debris buring and burning
off fires that quickly get out of
control. Such fires also destroy
thousands of ground nesting song
and game birds and rabbit.

wives cook vegetables in too much
water and then drain off the water
into the sink. There is waste of

seeped out of the vegetables into the

which might encourage the eating
of such vegetables as cabbage and
