The american League picture

dications. 10 date. bearing this
out have been the return of
some life into the Yankees and
the fact that Detroit. although
handicapped extensively by the
sale of Greenberg. still has the
best pitching in The loop.
The standings will alter con-

but we can look forward to a
tighter campaign generally in the

of the circuit by eastern bali
clubs. BY then, some sort of idea
can take hold as to the relative
strength of the clubs.
Our Chicago clubs are doing
right well 50 far. The perform
ance of the White Sox TO date
has exceeded all preseason ex-
pecfafions of south side fans and
is due primarily TO plenty of
hustle and heads-up ball play
ing. How long this will continue
is another question entirely. The
Sox have a well balanced pitch
ing staff and are getting the
most out Of IL.
The Cubs have been playing
good ball despite occasional lapses.
Much of this can be attributed to
the fact that the boys need work.
The weather has played havoc
with the schedule. All in all, Chi
cago should be well represented
up near the top this year.
AS YET. that old axiom of the
pitchers being ahead of the hit
tiers in the early stages of a cam
paign holds true. Some of the
performances to date have been
truly phenomenal. Look at the
shutouts, the one and two hit
tiers: Teller with two single-hit-
tiers, Lopat, Reynolds, Lee and
company. No comment on the
pitching as far as we can see.
The hifters. of course. present
another story. That's been the
story all the way down the line.
Nicholson has shown signs of
getting out of the doldrums with
some timely extra-base clouts,
but generally the muscle boys
haven't begun TO lay the wood
10 the apple.
The great Ted Williams has Just
about dispelled the various YER
sions of the "Boudreau shift" de-
lenses with a few bingles to the
open spaces. Joe DiMaggio, of
the Achilles heel, is still handi-
capped, albeit his presence changes
the complexion of things in the
Yankee outfield.
THE DODGERS. most taIked-of
team in baseball, have gotten off
to a good start despite the sus-
pension of Durocher. With Reiser
and Robinson leading the way, the
Brooklyn ball team shows signs of
staying power-if Reiser can avoid
outfield walls this year and stay
in one piece.
The real surprise so far. has
been the dismal showing of the
Worlds Champs-the ST. Louis
Cardinals. They've gotten off TO
their worst start. but with the
latent talent on that club. il is
unlikely that they'll continue

All who pass through the the woods should

theirs should start fire. Any campers OF fish,
np parties that start fire in or near Woodland
should also be extremely careful to sec that the!

EXPRESSING LOVE OF HOME

People express the affection they feel for
3 their friends by making them nice gifts. They
offcr~-them presents, at Christmas, on birthdays
wedding anniversaries etc, a means OF saying
how greatly they love these people. 1t makes
them glad to feel that by these gifts they make
these friends happy.
SO one expresses the love he feels for hIS
home place, by making gifts to it in the form
of work or improvements. When people are seen
cleaning up or improving the home place, or max
ing additions of beauty through such things as
planting flowers shrubbery, OF trees. it is I
sign that they have Il real affection for the
home place. 1t is also a sign of love for the
home town, and of wish that the home place
should appear to be worthy of the fine town
and ncshborhood in which it exists.

FAITHFUL WORK

All the people who perform faithful and en-
ereetic work in their occupations help to build
up their home town. If they are working on
some form of production, their skill and effort
help to make product that the world Will nuF'
and this gives employment and prosperity to
their home town.
If they are working in retail trade, their good
work and intelligent service help the store to
sell its goods, and this brings work and BUSINESS
to the town. If they are giving the public any
form of service. that adds to the ability OF the
community to satisfy the needs of thee people
Fidelity and efficiency are a wonderful power IN
