Work Started
On Clinic at
Scotland Neck

Scotland Neck.-Work on the
new 20-bed Halifax County elm.
ic, which will be located here,
was started this past week.
1t is estimated that the actual
construction OF the clinic will
take several months to complete,
since it has just been begun.
1t is expected that several streets
will be built running through
the section in which the clinic
is located in order that it might
be more easily accessible to all.
The clinic is designed to serve
the needs of approximately $4,000
people in this area, and 4 work
ing agreement has already been
arranged with the Park View
Hospital, Rocky Mount, for the
supplying of nurse and inferno
service. Most Of the cases too
serious to be handled by the To-
cal facility will probably be
transferred to the Rocky Mount
hospital for treatment.

The members of the various
McIver High School communities
conducted trip recently in
which they toured the homes of
nearly all the farmers, veterans
and N. F. A. members who were
producing hybrid corn.
Everyone was very much i'm
pressed at the splendid progress
the community people are max
ing in the production of hybrid
corn. Several farmers seem to
deserve special recognition for
the job they are doing.
At the home OF James Scott, a
veteran enrolled in the vetCNan
farmers training program, there
was an excellent contrast be-
tween the results obtained from
shallow and deep cultivation. 1t
was observed that the crop
which had been cultivated shall
low was far superior to the crop
upon which deep cultivation had
been practiced.
When the tour advanced to the
home of Benjamin Edmonds, a
community farmer, the group
was favored by a short talk by
Edmonds in which he told of his
rise from a tenant farmer to a
farm owner. He also related how
he developed his farm from run
down outcast one into one TO be
respected by the community. Ed
monds is producing seven acres
of Tenn. 10 hybrid corn and the
corn he is producing ranked
high among the best seen during
the tour.
When the group reached the
home of Johnnie Hawkins, they
were very fortunate in seeing the
magnificent crop of hybrid corn
he had produced but they also
saw several other interesting
features. Hawkins is the only
Negro farmer in this district
who is a certified producer for
hybrid corn seed as approved by
the North Carolina Crop I'm
provement Association. This as
sociation, which does not APP
prove the production of hybrid
seed corn if over two per cent of
the corn is not detasseled, has
made several visits to Hawkins
farm and made their approx
for the corn he is producing.
Hawkins also is carrying out a
sweet potato demonstration and
last year he successfully cured
over 400 bushels of sweet pota-
toes, most Of which he did as a
service to the community people.
The tour progressed along in
order and many good hybrid
corn crops were seen, and at the
home of Marshall Burgess, a STU
dent at Mclver High School, and
an active member of the N. F. A.
chapter at the school, the Group
saw the excellent farming pro-
gram this young high school stu
dent is following. Burgess, who
won the Modern Farmer degree,
and the distinction of being the
best young farmer in the state,
for which he received a prize of
$500, is producing one acre of
Dixie II hybrid corn. In addition
to producing the hybrid corn, he
is carrying out an excellent pas
ture demonstration for the bene-
fit of the community farmers.

World Series Gets Started "Wednesday
In Boston; Braves Slated as Underdo9s
No Matter Who Wins American Race

vivor of the exhausting struggle
for tn American League Pen
nant has a Wednesday date with
the Battered Boston Braves to
open the 45th World Series at
Braves Field.
With a sure ST 900, 900 in the till
everybody wants to get into the
act. AS a result the American
League champs can not be crown
ed positively until tomorrow
night.
Even before Jeff Heath broke
his ankle and ruined the Braves
home run attack, Billy South .
worth's men were certain under
dogs. They were local heroes
for bringing the first National
League flag to Boston since
George Sallings' miracle men of
1914, but the rest of the nation
was not over impressed.
Southworth's gang with two
strong armed young pitchers
in highlander Johnny Sain and
lefthander Warren SPAIN, actual
ly deserves a better fate.
Heath's injury after the Braves
clinched matters, was stunn-
ing blow His lefthanded bat
ting power that produced 20
homers was the big threat
against righthand pitching.
Bob Elliott most valuable play
err in the league at third base
last year, is the big gun with
Heath out and Dark also hits
hard as does Tommy Holmes.
The others, with the exception of
first sacker Earl Torgeson who
has been an in-and-outer this sea
son, lack power.
Back to Sain and SPAIN, South
worth has rookie Vern Bick-
ford who probably will work the
third game. Nels Potter, picked
up from the Philadelphia AS, has
been a real saver on relief. 9th
ers who figure to see series SER
vice in the bullpen are Red
Barrett, Clyde Shoun, Bob Ho-
que and Bill Voiselle who soured
after earning most of his 10 wins
in early season. Phil Mast and
Bill salkeld are the catchers.
While Eddie Stanky was out,
for 20 days, Southworth S expert
ments finally landed Sibby Sisti
at second base. If it turns out
that Stanky can't make it, Sibbv
will be there for the series.
Southworth also is contemplating
a switch that might end forge
son to the outfield and install
Ray Sanders, just recalled from
Hartford, at first. Obviously
Billy doesn't know just what he
is going to do and the tangled
American League race isn't help
ing any.
Whoever Wins the American
will not have had much time to
look at the Braves. All most
of them know is that they have
Sain, SPAIN and Southworth.
They won't be taken lightly.
1t will be an everyday series
barring rain, with no time off
for travel, because the football
season already is in full swing
If Cleveland makes it with its
$4,000 seats, the boys probably
will split a record melon. 1t
will be almost as large if
New York struggles home but
much less if the Boston Red Sox
represent the American with
their relatively small Fenway
Park.
Cleveland, shut out of World
Series fun since 1920 when thew
slugged the Brooklyn Dodgers,
will provide a tumultous back
drop if they finally make the
grade.

Indians ROut
Tigers, 8 to 0;
Yankees Lose

Cleveland Indians assured them
selves of at least a tie for the
American League pennant today
as they routed the Detroit Tlg-

ahead of the second-place Bos-
ton Red Sox.

Tomorrow Cleveland can win
its first pennant since 1920 by
again beating Detroit, They cal
also cop it if the Sox lose to the
Yanks. Should the Sox win ano
the Indians lose, the two will be
tied for the top. In the event Of
tie for the lead, the Red Sos

Monday in a playoff for the
championship.
X Gene Bearden. rookie Indian
lefthander, BANKED the Tigers
on eight scattered hits in record
ing his 18th victory of the sea-

Lou Kretlow, recruit Tiger
pitcher, gave Bearden a battle
until the fourth inning when
the Tribe knocked him out with
a five-run, four hit outburst.
Brilliant pitching on the part
of Jack Kramer knocked the
Yanks out of the fight. The Red
Sox Highlander allowed the
Yanks only five hits in gaining
his 18th success against five loss
es.
The Sox also collected only
five hits but punched the blows
along with II walks to win 60
ing away. Ted Williams put the
Sox in front to stay in the first
inning when he followed a walk
to Johnny Pesky with his 25th
homer of the season.
Tommy Byrne, Yankee start
er, was knocked out in the third
after yielding another run ON a
walk, double by Williams, in
territorial pass and single by Stan
Spence. Joe Page came on and
gave up a run on Bill Good
mans fly. The Sox clipped Page
for their final run in the fourth,
Vern Stephens driving in the
counter with a long fly.
In the other American League
game the Washington Senators
trounced the Philadelphia Athle-
tics, IL. A five run eighth in
ming rally sewed it up for the
Mats.
The National Leagues pen
nant-winning Boston Braves
split a double header with the
New York Giants, winning the
nlghtcap, I'll after dropping the
opener, 80.
Lefty Warren SPAIN yielded
10 hits and all New York runs
in the first game before Red
Barrett took over in the eighth.
In the finale, called at the end
of seven innings because of
darkness, Johnny Sain picked up
his Oath win. Sain worked the
first five innings and allowed
three hits.
The Brooklyn Dodgers scored
four runs in the first inning and
went on to beat the Philadelphia
Phillies, ga, in the only other
