Players Are Feted
At Rotary Meeting

Baseball was the subject at a
meeting of the Laurel Rotary club
Tuesday and players for the Laurel
Farmers Union and Laurel Merch-
ants teams were club guests.
Inspired by the dedication of
L~aurel's new Athletic park Tuesday
night, the topic was discussed by
four speakers, Gordon S. Mickey
Cochrane of baseball's Hall of fame;
Archie Cochrane, a director of the
Midland Roundtable; Jack Parker,
manager of the Farmers Union, cur
rent leaders in the Midland Empire
league, and DR.. Wayne A. McCor-
mick, manager of the Laurel Mer-
chants.
cellent opportunity for young men,
Mickey Cochrane told the Rotarians
and their guests. All major leagues
now needs first-class %catchers, he
said.
The former manager and catcher
for the Detroit Tigers who played
in five world series, also related
several anecdotes drawn from his
experience with the Tigers and be-
fore that with the Philadelphia Ath-
letics.
Archie Cochrane, discussing the
objective of the Midland Round
table, said the organization was set
UP to sponsor all sports. Profession
al baseball, he said, will stimulate
interest in junior players. There are
800 boys in Billings now wearing
baseball uniforms, Cochrane report
ed.
Parker reviewed the history of the
Farmers Union team. Midland En-
pire league champions in 1910 and
1947, state semi-pro champions in
1916 and 1913 and runnerup in
the Midland Empire league in 1941
and 1912.
The Laurel Merchants, DR.. Nc
Cormick told the Rotary club, were
organized this year under the spon-
sorship of the city's merchants. The
teams next game will be with For
syth at Laurel, he said.
B. Meyer Harris, program chair
man for the day, presided at the
meeting program. Oliver Void is

issues Nine Million
Pamphlets On It's Fun
To Live In America

More than 9, 900, 900 patriotic
pamphlets, based on a wide variety
of subjects and designed to show
that 'It's Fun to Live in America"
have been distributed by Kiwanis
clubs from coast to coast since the
first of the year.
This announcement was made by
DR.. w. A. Mccormick, president of
the Kiwanis club of Laurel, who
said the purpose of the pamphlet
campaign is to stress the Importance
of maintaining the individual en-
terprise system in the United States.
Each of the seven pamphlets which
have been issued up to this time
have made dramatic comparisons be-
tween Americas form of government
and the totalitarian theory of CEN
tralized control of business, industry,
agriculture, the church, home and
school, DR.. Mccormick stated.
Kiwanians throughout the nation
are using the pamphlets as inserts
with payroll envelopes, statements,
circulars and other correspondence.
When this phase of the campaign
comes to a close in December, it is
estimated that nearly 100000 leaf
lets will have been circulated.
The Kiwanis program has won the
endorsement of leaders in business,
industry, education and government.
A number of plant publications are
reproducing the various pamphlets
and countless thousands have been
distributed to school children with
the thought in mind that "teen-ag-
ers" must realize the opportunities
that prevail in America.
DIR. Mccormick said the campaign
was inspired by Kiwanis Interna-
tional's 1913 administrative theme,
citizenship Responsibilities the
Price of Freedom" and one of this
detectives which calls upon
clubs to develop an informed pub
lie opinion to combat all ideolo-
gies opposed to the democratic prin-
upon which u nations are
founded"
The program is being directed by
he service organizations interna-
,ional committee on public affairs

Cotton Insect Damage

Cotton insects destroyed ISL per
cent of the 1916 crop according to
a report of the bureau of %agricultur-
al economics. In addition to lint, this
meant $4,000 tons of cotton seed
which would have produced 200 mil
lion pounds of margarine. 276,00O
tons of high protein meal, and 152, 900
tons of cottonseed hulls. Meal loss to
insects would have provided suffi-
Gent protein for 178 million pounds
of beef or 500 million gallons of milk.

Remedy for Malaria

Malaria is caused by the a%nopheles
mosquito. The Allies discovered a
secret German chemical during the
North African campaign, effective
against malaria. 1t is called "Aralen,"
and, unlike atabrine (widely used in
the war; it does not yellow the skin,
and yet it controls malarial attacks
more quickly than either atabrine or
quinine. A years supply of Aralen
for n person would cost about 50.

Helpless Giraffe

How the giraffe survives in the
jungle is a mystery, because he is
awkward, shy and virtually helpless
against powerful and swift predatory
animals. His only protection derives
from his dappled appearance, and an
