THERE are more S h a ttered
dreams, dislocated hopes and
tragedies in a training camp than
non-combatants could ever guess.
This is no sob story no crying
match. 1t is a true story affecting
the future lives and hopes of many
very fine young men-such as Char
lie Keller OF the Yankees. Keller is
as clean and as fine a citizen as I
ever have known. He was a top stu
dent at Maryland. He was a young
star with the Yankees. He has known
more than one bad break. He was
just edging into the money when he
was called to war service. Last sea-
son a growth on his spine cut him
down.
Keller has been working desper-
ately to get back. The old PAIN is
gone. The suffering is over. But
back muscles take time to mend.
II can hit the ball solidly," he told
me, "but it doesn't go very far. I
need time to rebuild those destroy
ed muscles. What about the future?
Who knows? 1 can only hope"
There is Spud Chandler, nearing
40, a great pitcher with a great
heart. The chunk they cut from his
elbow is still St. Petersburg ex-
hibit. "I'm aiming at Is wins"
Chandler told me. II won't be far
away" Maybe. Maybe not. But
here's a mans career hanging in
the balance.

of the best. Chandler rated Hughson
the best in the American League,
Last year Hughson won IL and lost
II. Not too hot. But he also had a
sore arm that called for an opera
ton.
How good will Hughson be this
season? Who can say? Hughson in
old-tlme shape can win the American
League pennant for Joe Mccarthy
and the Red Sox. A wavering Hugh
son can bring about their defeat.
If you saw the Kellers, the Chan
dlers, the Hughsons and others on
the borderline, at work, you could
sense their background of tragedy
or their hopes of better and brighter
days. A job is pretty important when
you have wife and a few kids.

linians laughed laughed in the will
derness, with no one to hear them
but the hills and streams and dunes.
So much for the past. But how
about North Carolina today?
North Carolina is a long state.
Only four states in America are
longer than it is. 1t extends from
the spread fan of its circular shore
of sea islands to the highest noun
tains in southeastern America. It is
divided into three distinct regions,
the Coastal plain, the Piedmont
plateau and the Appalachian high
lands.
Diverse Topography
The coastal plain is well-drained
and fertile. The Piedmont plateau
is a region of rich farmland, tum-
bling streams and seat of North Car
olina's industry. The highlands in
clude the Unaka, Great Smoky, Bald
and Iron mountains, with several
groups running in a transverse di-
rection, called the Black, Cowee,
Nantahala and South mountains.
The Black mountains include Mount
Mitchell, 1854 feet.
The climate of North Carolina
varies from sub-tropicaI to tenn
perate. There are winter resorts
and summer resorts in the state.
The annual rainfall of So inches
on the average is adequate for all
of the 100 crops listed by the U. S.
agricultural bureau.
There is mining in North Caro-
lima. 1t ranks high in production of
mica, feldspar, silica, millstones and

The Great BanbinO

There is story marching the
rounds that is beyond all telling. Its
setting is deep in tragedy, but its
outline is as brilliant as any rim Of
stars.
1t is the story of Babe Ruth, suf-
fering beyond all comprehension, yet
valiantly retracing his path of nearly
30 years ago for the good of baseball,
for the good of all kids and for the
good of suffering humanity in gen.
eral-whatever the cause may be.
1t is the story of a man who is
much greater nearing the trails end
of glory than he ever was hitting his
TIA home runs, and giving a vast
nation the greatest thrills that sport
ever has known.
Babe Ruth has been my friend for
over 30 years-a great guy, set in
m m m h proportions of build,
heart and appetite, especially when
he was starring from 1914 through
1895 in the box, in the field and
above all, at bat.
Broken, but not beaten, a relic
of the king that was, he is an even
greater man today. His head may
be bloody - but it remains un-
bowed.
I have watched his drawn face,
where anyone could see his inward
suffering, as he autographed base
balls and score cards.

Besides, the first English settle
ment in America was made on Roam
oke island, just off the coast of
North Carolina, in 15S5-87. 1t was
there that Virginia Dare, first child
of English parents in America, was
born. The colony came to a tragic
end, and in 1891 only the word
"Croatan" carved on a tree re-
manned. North Carolina has per-

pyrophyllite, kynnite, granite, and
many others, including asbestos and

Forests cover over Is million acres
of North Carolina. Fifty per cent of
the forested area is farm land, it's
harvested trees yielding 20 different
products valued at "a million dollars
annually. Over 5000 manufacturing
plants depend directly upon the for
est for raw material, and nearly
10000 people are employed in forest
production.
Fishing Employs 10000
The fishing grounds at Albemarle,
Pamlico and Core Sounds, the Cape
Fear, the New and Roanoke rivers
give employment to some 10000 peo-
pie. North Carolina waters also yield
oysters, clans, softshell crabs, es-

census of 1910, North Carolina has
1925 industrial establishments, CIV
ing employment to nearly 100000
persons. North Carolina manufac-
lures 70 per cent of the cigarets and
80 per cent of the chewing and
smoking tobacco of the nation. 1t is
first in the manufacture of overalls,
rayons, fine-gauge women's hose,
damask, cotton denim and other tex
tiles. North Carolina leads all the
states in furniture manufacturing
and is high in the manufacture of
food products.
In agriculture, tobacco is the chief
crop, with cotton second. Wheat and
corn are grown in all parts of the
state. Peaches are the chief crop of
the Sandhills. In value of farm
crops, North Carolina ranks third in
the nation.

Football Coaches

The new football season of 1913 al
ready is under way, with the great
est coaching shift in history. There
are new men at Yale, Harvard, In
diana, Navy, Michigan, Washing ton
and Kansas, to mention only a few.
They are all good men and those
who have the best material will win.
The most distinct shift belongs to
Herman Hickman who left Army for
Yale. The poet laureate of the
Smoky mountains, who as fat coun-
try boy, reached stardom as guard
at Tennessee over 20 years ago, had
no early dream that some day he
would be head football man beneath
New Ravens classic elms.
AT West Point, Hickman became
the best line coach l ever saw. He
also became one of the most inspira-
tional factors in all football.
No one can say just yet how Hick-
man will work out as a head coach
in his first year. My guess is that
the Smoky mountain bard will do a
tine job with even fair material.
Even at footballs middle age,
Herman knows in advance that he
can handle any man on his squad,
physically. This was true at Army
when he had Coulter, Foldberg,
Steffy and few other brawny
iinemen. I've seen Hickman take
them on two at time with his
amazingly active 300 or more
pounds.
Hickman should make a fine head
coach. He has been a great football
player-and also a great fellow. Be-
tween seasons he can take over the
chair of mountain poetry at Yale, in
which his kinfolk might figure.
Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1948-04-30

is kept intact so that there is still
a slow, wet, drowsy North Caro-
lima left, even though mint Juleps
aren't served for breakfast any
more! Men may raise peanuts
without getting rich, but peanuts
are very nutritious-fuII of fats
and oils! There remains enough
aversion to labor to let the people
enjoy the warm sun and have time
to sing.
The Civil War stirred North Caro-
lima, and so did World War II, ex-
cept in very different way. Mil
lions of young Americans were
trained for combat, for flying, and
for other services in North Carolina
during the most recent war. They
were Northerners and Westerners
mostly (for the army always man
aged to send Southerners up North
to train). There was romance and
marriage, and when the war was
over many Yankees remained in that
land of the South. North Carolina,
in an about effort, did her war job
well-on farms, in factories, in
training camps and air fields. Per-
haps the state never will be quite the
same; but it did its part, and more.
Record in Warfare
North Carolina is known as a
fighting state. Decisive battles of
the Revolution were fought on her
soil, at Kings mountain on the South
Carolina border, and at Guilford
Courthouse, near present d ay
Greensboro, where CORVALLIS was
turned toward Yorktown and final
defeat. During the Civil War, North
Carolina seeded with the rest of
the South. Her soldiers were first
at Bethel and last at Appomattox,"
and the state sent three times as
many men into battle as any other
Southern state in proportion to
population.
Since 1900, white illiteracy has
been reduced from 20 per cent to
less than 4 per cent. There are 91S
high schools in the state, 1888 white
and 1875 Negro. The state supports
IA colleges and training schools.
North Carolina citizens are among
the best informed in the world, and
Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1948-04-30

Smoky mountains, across the Pied
mont plateau, to the stormy sands of
Hatteras, the North Carolinians are
. happy, singing bunch of people,
ready to kid the life out of you, to
laugh at or with you, and generally
to enjoy themselves.
A lot of tar and turpentine come
from North Cardinals pine for
ests, but that is not how the term
"Tar HeeT originated. Josephus
Daniels, who ought to know, says
that tar, thrown into a river to
keep it out of the hands of Lord
CORVALLIS, got on the heels of his
soldiers when they crossed the
stream. Those soldiers gave North
Carolina people the queer nick
name then, and it has stayed.
So far as I can discern, Tar Heels
are the kind of people who like to
deflate toy balloons with pins-and
puncture the ego of those preten-
tious souls who take on airs! Ger
tainly, North Carolina is no VALLEY
of humiliation between two noun
tains of conceit," as has been writ
ten.
Land of Tradition
It Is Overlooking with pride, even
when it admits that its early settlers
came not from England but from
other colonies. The state even boasts
that it sent more privates and fewer
generals into the Confederate army
than any other Southern state! But
North Carolina is just as proud of
its old families, traditions and lore,
Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1948-04-30

progress in education, particularlyvo-
cational training, continues rapidly.
North Carolia is a little continent
within the borders of state. It pro-
duces many crops, has varied eli
mates, scores of industries, uncount-
ed resources, all kinds of soils,
choice of attitudes, and as many
landscapes as the eye can photo
graph. From the primeval, rugged
beauty of the Big Smokes, through
the well-developed resort and mining
sections of the Appalachians, over
the Piedmont country with it's cities
and manufacturing plants, on down
to the history-drencled co""-'1 "'"i1

mild stimulant, or harmless
weed, may be argued. But it can
not be denied that it is perhaps
Americas richest contribution to
the world. In North Carolina, to-
bacco is not only the king of crops,
but also king; Of industry as well.
North Carolina not only grows more
tobacco than any other state, but
also produces more cigarettes, smok-
ing and. chewing tobacco than any
of the rest. It also has tobacco left

Queen Elizabeth sent Sir Walter

back gold. She was only mildly
curious when he returned with a
strange plant and no riches. That
strange plant, however, was real

about 400 years ago, tobacco had

even for export to other lands.
One of natures tiniest seeds, to-
bacco is sown in plantbeds, and pro-
tected in the early spring by cloth
which shields the sprouts. When
the season is right, the young plants
are taken to the field and trans
planted, usually by hand.
Back-breaking work goes into the
cultivation and care of the growing
plants before they are ready for
harvesting.
