This is O story about Christmas
Christmas for thousands of broken
bodies and minds In Veterans Ad-
ministration hospitals from San
Francisco to New York.
Christmas might be just another
day for these soldiers, sailors, Ma
rines = and airmen, stuck away for
weeks, months and years in hos
pital wards. Maybe for some it
will be that-in spite Of efforts of
VA hospital people to make 1t a
special, joyous time. It's not easy
to bring joy into hospital, even
at Christmas time.
Groups of citizens all over the
country are planning hospital fes-
tivities to foster the Christmas
spirit. They all agree, though, that
not enough is done.
One of these groups Is called
"The National Foundation for CT
joe" Vice president of the foun-
dation is former Sergt. Harold Rus
sell, who lost his hands in the war.
Maybe you saw him in the movie,
1.-THE Best Years of Our Lives"
Two trustees are Gen. Jonathan
M. Wainwright and Gen. Lucius D.
Clay, American military governor of
Germany.
George is a paraplegic-paralyzed
from waist to toes. He left college
when the war broke out and signed
up in the Air Corps. He finally got
to England and was assigned to
heavy bombers. When his ship was
shot down over Germany he and
his bombardier slipped over the
Swiss border and, via the under
ground, were taken back to their
base in England.
George got out Of that one. But
a few weeks later flax got him in
the back. He has never walked
since.
Isadore doesn't have any legs. A
mortar shell exploded just in front
of him during the Battle of the
Bulge. and the 9th Army lost a
good soldier.
He is learning to walk on two
artificial limbs.
Some day the foundation hopes
to get George and Isadore Jobs.
Jimmy was offered tryout with
a major league ball club, but in
stead tried out with the Marines at
Paris Island. He caught polio, and
he's fighting it as hard as he hoped
to fight the japanese. About his
only pleasure today comes from his
small portable radio, a gift from the
foundation.
Owen was q New England farmer

in his ward because he knows how
to make pretty pictures with his
paint brush and oils. He got his
oil painting equipment from the
foundation, and it has stirred up
so much interest that others in Ed
dies ward have written the foun-
dation for their own sets of paint
ing gear.
There you have him-GI Joe
Maybe you'd like to help cheer him
up this Christmas time. The foun-
dation, a non-prof1t organization
chartered by New York State, needs
gifts badly. You can send them to

Record Vote ShO' League
OF 81 Million Future Looks
Is Prediction Very Doubtful
All Four Delaware Teams
Are Presently Without
Sponsors; One In
Maryland Is Orphan.

The future of the Eastern Shore
League, Delmarva's Glass D renre-
sentatlon in the ranks of profess
siOnal baseball, remains somewhat
in doubt, despite the reassuring
statements that came out of the re-
cent league meeting at Seaford
particularly discOuraging at the
moment is the situation of Della
wares four member-clubs. each of
which have lost major league farm
attiliatiOn since the close of the
1948 season.
A majority of the peninsula
areas loyal fans and scribes have
adhered firmly to the hope that
some solution to the problems of
the leagues five orphan clubs"
would present itself. However.
such a solution is still being sought
and tlme-preciOUs time-is fast
ebbing away. According to a de-
cisiOn reached Sunday, member
clubs must be in a position to
guarantee 1949 operation bv the
next league meeting, scheduled for
0dIlSDuIy on SUNDAY, November 81,

tive Eastern Shore League fran
chises.
, AS of this writing. only three
clubs, Salisbury, Cambridge, and
EastOn, are able to definitely state
that they all set to continue oper-
alton next season. Two other clubs.
RehObOth and SeafOrd, have tenta-
lively committed themselves to 1849
operation, although each is still
negotiating for necessary backing.
A sixth club. Milford, has held out
hopes that it might still be avail
able in 1949, while Dover, unrepre-
sented at the recent meeting, and
fredericksburg, shOrn of it's affilia-
tiOn with the Athletics system, are,
to all intents, lost to the league as

Now Making
Plans For
Basketball
LeagueHere
Organization For GAIL
Delaware League" Was
First Advanced In Fall
Of 1917; Is Gaining I'M
pteOuS Now.

Even though the baseball season
hasn't been over more than a couple
OF weeks and the football season
has yet to approach the halfway
mark, basketball enthusiasts of
lower Delaware are already talk
lng-up" their favOrite sport and
making plans for the 1948-49 sea-
son. Chief topic of conversation in
down-state basketball circles is the
movement leading towards possible
organization of an "All-Delaware
League" one that would embrace
within its membership all of the
two lower counties strongest uuin-
tets.
The idea for an "All-Delaware
League" was first advanced last
fall, but nothing concrete came Of
the idea, primarily because many
of the dOwn-state quintets were
reluctant to withdraw from and
possibly force disbandment of
leagues already in existence. AS a
result, some sixteen lower Della
ware teams competed in three diff
ferent leagues, two of which also
had Maryland Eastern Short clubs
in their membership with rather
lengthy hops" between member
communities being involved. Each
of the three circuits had some COM
paratively weak clubs in their mem
bership and these weaker teams did
not draw we'll either on the road
or on their home courts. Basket
ball, being like other sports in this
high-dOllar postwar world, was an
expensive sport last winter and
promises to offer even higher Op-
irrational cost this coming season,
and the proposed "state" league
may we'll be the solution to the f.
nancial difficulties encountered in
the past by some of the areas
clubs.
