More Opinion Than Facts

The Gallup poll has revealed that 50
DER cent of. those questioned approved
the Taft-Hartley law and 80 per cent
d%isapproved.
But Is per cent said they couldn't
think of any particular provision of the
law that was especially good and IS
per cent said they couldn't recall any
point that was particularly bad.
One might conclude from those
figures that never was so much said
by so many about something Of which
so few knew so little.

Some voters named more than
one issue-hence the table totals
more than 100 per cent.
Today's issues differ sharply
from those of a year ago in a
similar poll. Last August the
number of voters expressing con-
Germ over world affairs totaled
only Is per cent, whereas today
Al per cent name some item re-
lated to international affairs. As
for purely national or domestic
problems, they were named by 81
per cent a year ago, and by only
81 per cent today.
On nearly a dozen occasions
during the past IL years the Insti-

q nation.
In 1885, when the first poll was
taken, the most vital issue named

Trojans Play Blue
Sox And Raiders
Here Tomorrow
BY NEsToR CAsTANEDA

The cellar dwelling Trojans
will tackle the Blue Sox in the
first game and the Red Raiders
in the nightcap of tomorrow's
Winter League doubleheader at
Municipal Stadium.
The Trojans have been in
slump these last few games, but
with the return of such stars as
Skip Rueda and Joe Navarro to
the line up, they will be tough
to beat.
In the first game, the Trojans
will probably use Charlie Albury,
their star highlander, on the
mound, with Joe Navarro behind
the plate. In addition, they will
probably have Joe Ilaqua at first;
Dukes at second; Juani Navarro
at third, and Gibby Valdez at
short to round out the infields
In the outfield they will probably
have Skip Rueda in left; Joe
Domenech in center, and Red
Berg in right.
The Blue Sox, who are in first
place with full game ahead of
the second-place Raiders, will
probably count on their ace right
handler, Gabe Lastres, for mound
duty, with Manager Manolo Ac-
evedo behind the plate. They
win probably also have Harold
Haskins or Del Fernandez at
first; Claude Valdez at second;
Fidel Lopez at third, and Albio
Acevedo at short. In the out
field, they will probably have
Jack Villareal in left, Eloy Ac-
evedo in center, and Roy Valdez
in right.
In the nightcap, the Trojans
will probably use George NAL
graf, the veteran highlander,
against the Raiders, with Joe
Navarro behind the bat. The
Raiders, on the other hand, will
probably use Rubber Sweeting or
Fito Lastres on the mound, with
Esmond Albury behind the plate
Clayton Sterlin, heavy hitting
first sacker, will be at first; Jack
Carbonell or William Gates at
second; Mario Hernandez at third
and Armando Acevedo at short.
In the outfield they will have
Cheta Baker in left, Dewitt Rob-
erts in center, and DoDo Villa
real in right.
The first game tomorrow will
get underway at lis p. m.

paint washes off dishes rather easily
but requires some scrubbing for
hands or feet. If the baby is very
young. I would suggest that you
use the textile paint cleaner for re-
moving the color before washing
thoroughly with soap and water.
The baby prints, by the way, make
clever decorations for stationery,
especially for letters to fond grand
parents, aunts and uncles.
And for the lady who wanted ideas
for hand made Christmas presents
for children between the ages of 1
and 10. why not gay mittens? You
can trim them with bright flowers
for the girls, make them as sober as
you like for the boys. Or if you want
to give a larger gift, combine them
with a matching scarf or hat; you
will find all sorts of knitted and
crocheted patterns. There are hand
knit socks, too, that any mother
would appreciate for her chick. The
youngster will like them, too. if you
add his name or monogram. For the
short socks of the older girls, you
might use the simple mathematical
symbols (plus, minus, multiplication
signs, etc., to embroider around the
top of the sock. Or If you prefer
sewing, try some gay aprons for the
little girls. If you are giving to the
mothers too, make the aprons match.
For the smaller children, bean bags
in animal shapes are easy to make,
fun to play with, and convenient
way to use up scraps. Try a foppy
long legged frog design or fish with
yarn fins. You can use your sewing
machine, too, Cor rent one) for rag
dolls or stuffed toys or doll clothes.
Simplest of all is a stocking doll
Stuff the foot part of mans plain
color sock with cotton tie a bit of
ribbon or yarn about it for neck;
embroider the face; tie it off again
Just beyond the heel; then cut and
braid the leg part of the sock for a
tall.
Why not try some wooden toys
for the little boys? All you need Is
a small saw, scraps of lumber and
little paint. You can make all sorts
of little cars or simple pull toys, for
example, a bright wooden animal
mounted on small platform to pull.
Also to be made of wood are child
size stools and toy boxes. Let your
fancy be your guide in painting them
with flowers, animals, or geometrical
designs. It doesn't take much artistic
ability to make paper dolls. Make
chubby Eskimos or Chinese, or a
set of different foreign dolls with
characteristic costumes; they can
be far more interesting than the
Iready-made variety. Another idea
if you like to paint, use textile paints
and make a cloth scrapbook for the
very young. Linen books are almost
impossible to find now, and so much
nicer for youngsters at the paper
tearing stage. Any sort of simple,
bright designs will do for them-a
red apple, blue wagon with yellow
wheels, ETC. Best of luck, and I hope
you can use some of these ideas.
