W-1uE NONS1I1Uk1ON OF the
league states that the secretary shall
also draw up the schedule, provid-
ing for two games per week, begin
ming next week. In the case of un-
favorable weather, the manager of
the'home team shall notify the man
ager of the visiting team at least
two hours before game time, and
two umpireS must be provided by
the home team.
@-IN REGARD to players, boys
to be eligible for participation in the
league must have been born on or
after January /, 1880, and must pro-
duce on demand an official birth
certificate. Each team may carry rs
players until June Is when the list
must be cut to 16. After August l.,
the number may be increased again
to 25. Use of an ineligible player re-
suits in the forfeit of all games in
which he took part.
GENTRY FEE of all clubs receiv-
ing franchises was set at $40 per
team, and the official ball was res
ignated as the Wilson or Reach ball.
In regards to protests, it was decided
that protests must be made in writ
ing to the president of the league
accompanied by So fee within "a
hours. The fee is returned if the
protest is allowed. Protests are to
be made at time of the infraction to
the umpire and opposing manager
with the umpire making a report to
the president.
@-ACCORDING to team manager,
Stellfox, these teams are sponsored
by the American Legion with the
cooperation of the Ford Motor Co.,
and your local Ford dealers. The
NorVal Robey Co. has donated $3.50
towards the purchase of uniforms,
while about $100 more will be raised
by subscription to finish outfitting
the team. Sixteen suits will be pur-
chased along with other equipment.
Two dozen Reach baseballS have al
ready arrived and two dozen bats
are expected at any time, but the
big drawback continues to be the
weather. Kenneth YonkerS, who is
connected with the strip mining in
Noble county, has signified his in
tentions of using his bulldozer to
put the field in readiness when a
break in the weather occurs.
0-TRYOUTS for the prospective
players will be held by Mr.. Stellfox
just as soon as possible Among the
prospects are the following: Jack
Fowler, Paul Keeton, John Hick-
man, Luke Young, Don Ferguson,

during the season will come from J.
H. Colley of Belle Valley, and Mar
vim P. Wood and Jerry Ramsey of
Caldwell.
@-THE ANSWER to last week. S
question How can run in baseball
score after the third out?" The
bases are loaded with two out. The
man at bat draws a base on balls
forcing all runners to advance. The
man on third starts walking slowly
towards home, but in the meantime
the runner who was on first, runs
down to second, rounds the bag, and
stands there taunting the pitcher.
The pitcher snaps the ball to second

Recognition For Jaycees

Knowing it's accomplishments so
well, Wilmingtonians are not surprised
that the Junior Chamber of Commerce
have received impressive recognition
by the national organization at it's an
nual convention in Long Beach, Cali
foria.
Jesse Sellers, past president and a
local delegate to the Pacific coast ses-
ion, brought home five awards. Only
two other Jaycee groups in the country
received as many.
From the time hat Wilmington's
Junior Chamber successfully compaign-
ed for councilmanic-manager govern
ment for the city, the organization has
engaged in many constructive undertake
ings.
Notable among them have been it's
annual sale of tuberculosis bonds, it's
participation in the city extension cam
paign, it's efforts in behalf of Whining
ton college and the tuberculosis sana-
forum. Its outstanding service in these
major undertakings contributed ma
t~erially to the success of all.
Further, it sponored the X-fay pro-
gram of the tuberculosis association,
gave the proceeds Of a dance to the as
sociation's milk fund, and promoted OBJ
%servance of health week. During the
war it conducted scrap drives and waste
paper collections, turning the revenue
therefrom over to needy and worthy
causes, including the Boy Scouts and
the Brigade Boys club. For two years
it promoted local observance of fire
prevention week and next fall proposes
to combine a cleanup campaign with
this project.
1t is impossible to overemphasize the
part the Junior Chamber of Commerce
is taking i'm civic affairs, >particularly
because the members have learned that
the way to grow is to work. Now that
it has received signal recognition from
the national organization, it's good
works will multiply.

Tuesday of next week. Mr.. Karl Reiser,
assistant director of the southeastern
area, is coming from Atlanta to direct
the clinic. In ffty-minute periods he
will explain the duties and responsible
ties of each chapter committee during
a disaster emergency.
Backed by years of experience in
this work.. especially during the war,
Mr.. Reiser has a clear understanding
of how to meet the multiple needs of
a stricken community.
While the institute has been arrang-
ed primarily for Red Cross volunteer
workers, it is to be expected that all
persons interested in relief will take
advantage of the opportunity to learn
more about it and attend the sessions.
Certainly there will be full attend
ance of the chapter committees. Mem
bers who are pledged to give their SER
vice will want to know what would be
expected of them when they are need
ed. But it is fortunate that the doors
will be open to the public as well.
Come one, come all.

WONDER ~UEST
COULD WE A
WORLD?

Jules Verne, the famous 10Th
century author, wrote a story
about some men who were shot
inside a huge cannon-ball to the
moon. This is certainly not pos
sible now, but the moor is only
240, 900 miles away, and it is not
beyond possibility that some day
men will try to get to the moon.
The solar system would have to
change a great deal for u earth
ever to be within even 20, 900, 900
miles of any other planet. Nothing
could fire a ball fast enough to
60 so far.
But let us suppose men could in
vent some machine that made
power in itself, and could keep on
doing it, such as a rocket or a
super-airplane, and suppose this
machine started off to the moon.
The first difficulty would be that,
when it got very high, even If the
passengers took enough air with
them to breathe, there would not
be enough air for the machine to
work against. In a vacuum - a
space empty of air-the strongest
bird could not soar or sustain it.

But even if this difficulty did
not exist, there would be another.
The rocket can travel with great
speed in a vacuum, but even il
men could reach the moon in a
rocket, the great problem would

Wallace's Political Status

Following Henry Wallace's WASH
ington speech, Marquis Childs, the
columnist, makes two sage observations.
They are worth bordering, not only
because they fix WaIlace's political posi-
ton but also indicate how his position
might be improved.
If Wallace is built up into a political
hero, Mr.. Childs writes, "he will OWE
a considerable debt to the stupidity OF
those who profess to oppose every
thing Wallace stands for And he adds:
"Thev seem determined to advertise
him as a martyr in the cause of peace"
Secondly, Mr.. Childs observes: I'm
his transforming tour of Europe and
the United States, he Wallace) has
drawn large audiences but he has not
attracted any conspicuous political re-
cruits."
1t would appear, then, that If MIR.
Wallace is to be considered seriously
as the leader of a third party, an am
bition he c~ultivates it will be because
of laundering at Washington.
It is not unusual for an American
with forensic talent to attract overflow
audiences. Mr.. Wallace is NJ exception
to what has invariably happened to
them.
A case within the memory OF many
nersons is found in William Jennings
BRYAN. From the time the Nebraskan
stormed the democratic convention and
opposed Mckinley in the momentous
presidential campaign of 1896, an an
nouncement that Bryan was to speak
never failed to pack the hall.
He was an infinitely better orator
than Mr.. Wallace. But he could not get
himself elected president, largely for
the reason Mr.. Childs notes in the case
of Mr.. Wallace. He could not attract
the support of conspicuous PERSONAL
ties in the realm Of politics.
Some will tell you that free silver
defeated Bryan in his first campaign.
Maybe free silver had something to do
with it, but the underlying cause OF
his failure was deeper than that. Prl-
marily, he lacked a Mark Hanna.
So does Wallace. There is no reason
to fear the Wallace boom, and need not
be unless the opposition builds him up
into a political hero.

Hope Springs Eternal

President Truman's assertion at
Princeton that he "is not sure there is
going to be a veto of the labor blll'
gives some hope that the legislation may
become law.
While it is obvious the President has
not made up his mind, his statement at
least indicates the bill may not be
thrown back into the lap of Congress.
In view of the House action in SUI
staining his veto of the tax bill, that
would be hazardous, for while it has
been assumed the House would override
the tax veto and the Senate not, the
bill died by the narrow margin of two
votes in the lower branch of Congress.
Both the House and the Senate
passed the labor control bill by a suf-
ficient majority to guarantee repass-
age if the President should veto it,
provided the original lines held. But
the reversal of the House on the tax
bill makes it questionable that the
lines would hold.
In that case, that is to say, if a veto
were upheld, this essential legislation
also would be killed and the way left
open for another strike wave which all
too easily might set the country's con
mic welfare back for years to come.
This possibility is what lends weight
to President Truman's remark and stirs
hope that he will either sign the labor
bill or allow it to become law without
his signature.

Why Sun Fades Carpets

Bringing Down Housing Cost

Measured by dollar volume,
public construction has been ris-
ing rapidly anyway. Only $161
million worth of projects were
started in January. The figure
has risen month by month to $246
million for May. Total for the five
months is $685. million. 1t includes
roads, bridges, schools and other
public buildings, dams and flood
control works. Many such pro-
jects on the books can't be de-
layed much longer.
When they are started they GER
tainly won't make the cost OF
housing any cheaper. They will
compete not only for materials
but also Cor labor.
Housing economists say that the
cost of housing has risen more
Or less equally in all divisions.
Roughly it breaks down As per
cent for materials including off
site labor, 1875 per cent profit,
1875 per cent land and 80 per cent
for on-site labor.
Building materials suppliers
give the word that they can't cut
costs because of wage increases.
Materials costs are so per cent
above 1910. Recently the supply
of materials has been reported
improved, for everything except
paint and some grades Of lumber.
1t is because of this improved
materials situation that Congress
decided to ease controls. But part
of this improvement came from
reduced building activity. If the
volume goes up as it did in May,
the SURPRISES may again disap-
pear.
James Downs, in the quite sen
sat1onal speech referred to above,
said: ". . the price of houses
is not going to come down except
by the margin of the builders
profit, and is not going to come
down all the way then" Contrac.

WASHINGTON, - Preliminary
figures show construction was
started on 10000 new housing
units in May. This is an all-time
U. S. record. 1t will come as a
pleasant surprise to everyone who
has been moaning about the way
the high cost of building was kill
in the business and the way pro-
spective home owners were refus-
ing to buy at today's inflated
prices.
New construction starts were
off in February and March, as
compared to the same months
last year. But total units started
in the first five months this year
is 272, 700. This compares win
273, 300 last year. The difference
is only 600 or 20 a month, which
isn't so bad. 1t can easily be made
up in the next few months. Two
interpretations will Immediately
be put on these new figures.

try spokesman will say this shows
what private industry can do if
freed from government Interior
erce. The statistics will be used
tc agitate for removal ahead of

naming.
On the other hand, government
housing experts will say that but
for the few controls remaining,
the industry could not have made
the record it has.
There is something to be said
for both arguments.
In the past few months real es-
tate statesmen have ben spread.
ing the word that Housing costs
aren't going to come down." and
cts good economy to buy a home
now" In some cities this line
has taken hold. Prospective home
owners who have simply had to
have a new place to live have
gone out and bought or started
to build, regardless Of high prices.
James c. Downs, Jr., Chicago
real estate advisor, told the Pro
ducers Council sprirg meeting
that though sales were off "a per
cent in the first quarter, for the
year they will compare favorably
with 1916. This is the sales effort
to keep the market up.
In support of the government
experts point of view is the fact
that through controls starts have
been delayed on much CONNER
cial and public "non-essenial''
construction. There is now a 81
billion backlog Of these non-resi-
Dental construction jobs.
New housing legislation would
remove government curbs against
all these projects save recreation-
al or amusement establishments
race tracks, night clubs and such
Joints. With government restric-
TONS removed. non-residential
construction may be expected to
pick up and go places. And hous-
! ina will suffer.
