MARION 10; SHELBY FOUR

The Marion Marauders continued
their winning ways at home Thurs
day night to defeat Shelby twice in
row ten to four. Marion took the
lead the first time at bat and was
never overcome. Shelby could not
count until the sixth inning.
To start the fireworks Big Tom
Cumby blasted a homer in the first
with Harry Holt roosting on first
base. The game was sewed up in
the fifth when three runs were
forced over the plate.
Jack Williams did mound duty
for the Marauders and did a good
job Of it, allowing only seven hits
during the game and he kept these
limited to two for the first five
innings. Skipper Joe Borich made
his mound debut for the Farmers,
but was touched for twelve hits and
was forced to retire in favor of
Alexander in the sixth, who held
the Marauders to three bingles from
there on out.
Pacing the for the Lanning crew
was Ezio Bonnetti with two singles
and a double out of four trips to
the platter. He was assisted by Jack
Triplett, Art Billie, Ray Vow and
John Beam who each collected two
safeties.
The highlight in the hitting fo1
the Farmers came in the eighth when
Charlie Hutchins banged out a hom.
er with none aboard

rion Marauders racked up their
fourth win in a row by defeating the
Morganton Aggies in the home park
Friday night to the tune of thir-
teen to one.
Boyer Mckinney, heaving hitting
Aggie pitcher, started the game for
the visitors but was sent to the
showers in the second frame after
six straight hits were registered
against against him. The Marauders
counted eight runs in this inning to
put the game on ice.
Nat Yablon did mound duty for
the Marauders and gave up only six
bingles which were well watered and
were good for only single run.
Yablon allowed the Aggies to score
in the first, when Ray Withers sing
led, stole second, and came in home
on a single by Jack Harvey, other
wise Yablon was tight in the clutch
es.

DOUBLE-HEADER AT
MORCANTON

After plastering the Morganton
Aggies in no uncertain terms the
day before by, the lop-sided score
of thirteen to one the Marion Ma
rauders had the tables turned on
them in Morganton Saturday in a
double-header by losing both gam
es.
Johnny Lanning's boys were de-
feated in the afternoon by the score
of six to seven. Sullivan, Parlier and
Good saw duty on the mound for
the Aggies and their combined eff
forts enabled the Morgantonites to
exc out one-margin win.
1t was anybody's game until the
ninth was over. Going into the
eighth inning with the score knot
ted at six-all it was Ray Withers
who did the dirty work. To begin
the inning Withers singled into
right field. He advanced to third as
Jack Harvey and Elmer Roberts
drew successive walks, and romped
, on in home when Boyer McGimsey
hoisted long fly into deep center
field. This run proved to be the de-
Gliding score.
In the nightcap the Morganton
Aggies came out with the long end
of five to seven score. Radio Jay
mes was the successful twirler, and
as he won he hung up his sixth vic
tory of the season. He allowed sew
en- hits but struck out fourteen men
and issued three free bases on balls.
John Beam collected two for
three to lead the Marauders at bat.
Skipper Sammy Bell was head man
for the Aggies with two hits in three
trips to the plate.
In the first game Hill and Dun
can worked on the mound for the
Marauders. In the second game it
was Pressnell and Williams.

Wednesday night Skipper Johnny
Lanning and his group of Marion
Marauders journeyed to Shelby and
defeated the Farmers three to moth
ing in a fast and exciting ball game.
Sam Riddick issued seven strike
outs and allowed an equal number
Of hits. He breezed along nicely
for eight innings, but got in trouble
in the ninth, with one man away in
the last frame Riddick walked the
next, which was followed by a
double, to put men on second and
third. At this point Higgins Duncan
came into the game, struck out the
first man to face him and caused
the next to pop-fly to Long John
Beam at first. Riddick was credited
with the win which gave him two
shut-out games for the season.
All the scoring in the game was
done in the first and several in
nings as Marion went to work early
scoring one in the first and two in
the second. Brooks lead off with a
double followed by a single by Holt
which provided the first Marion
run.
In the second frame Vow and
Moore each singled and Vow scored
on Riddick's outfield fly with Moore
close on his heels when the throw
to third was bobbled momentarily

BY Roger w. Babson

1. The total volume of business
for 1850 will be less than that OF
1949, due primarily to the un-
fortunate labor conflicts. Consid-
ering that the innocent consumer
will be the chief sufferer and will
be obliged to pay the bills, it seems
too bad that labor troubles should
upset the applicant.
LABOR OUTLOOK
2. Even with all the threats,
there will be few wage increases
during 1850. On the other hand
all labor negotiations take the
minds of both the employees and
the management off their regular
business. However, these negotia-
tions come out, they result in a loss
from the standpoint of the country
as whole.
3. There will be fewer strikes
in 1860 than in 1919, but there will
not be fewer extended negotiations
which-are very expensive IN them
selves.
A. The Taft Hartley Law will
continue to stand throughout 1850,
although many schemes for de-
touring this law will be devised.
5. The great drive against the
big companies will be for pensions
and Tor for sick and other benefits.
These will probably be helpful to
the wageworkers and may aid in
ironing out the business cycle, but
they will be paid for by consumers.
6. 1t is hoped that all parties
will begin to realize during 1850
that the real road to national pro-
gress is through increasing pro-
duction and greater efficiency. This
is the bright light we see in the
labor situation.
COMMODITY PRICES
Z. Movements in commodity
prices during 1850 will vary with
different groups Of industries and
of products, but altogether there
will be a general lowering during
1850.
8. We, therefore, advise going
easy on inventories. 1860 is time
to get out of debt and stay out of
debt. Speculation in commodities
should be discouraged in 1850.
o. We believe that the cost of
living index has turned down for
the present. The average for 1860
will be less than for 1919.
10. Practically all retail prices
will average less in 1850 than in
1949, Notwithstanding the excess
of money mentioned under 27-28
and 20 below.

Allied Civic
Group Urges
Federal Aid

The Allied Civic Group of Sill
yer Spring in a resolution present
ed the County Council on Tuesday,
urged County heads to seek a Fed
eral grant for school construction.
They cited the large influx of resi-
dents into the county in recent
years and the resultant overcrowd-
ed schools caused by expanded
Government activities here. To ia
cilitate getting Federal funds for
schools, the allied Civic Group rec
commended that the council, the
Board of Education and the Coun-
ty Council of rent-Teacher As
sociations coordinate their efforts
with corresponding agencies in the
District, Prince Georges and Ar
lington Counties.
Referred to the County Safety
Board and the county's legisla-
tive delegation was resolution by
the Park Hills Civic Association

Christmas Seals
by Jill Spargur
God makes Christmas Seals for
Folks
Who can't afford to spare
Like Carnegie or Vanderbilt
Million here and there.
For common folk with little fame
But kind and generous hearts,
Who like to feel that though their
names
Do not suggest great wealth,
Yet they can do their part;
And maybe give to some poor chap
A little boost toward health.
Children, stamps and pennies
Do make sweet appeal;
And SO for us, who can't give much
God makes the Christmas Seal.

Farm Bureau To
Oppose BrannOn
Farm Plan

The American Farm Bureau,
holding it's National Convention in
Chicago last week resolved to
fight the Brannon farm plan,
backed by President Truman and
voted in favor of flexible price
supports along lines of the COM
promise farm bill enacted this year
by Congress.
The 5000 farm leaders from 48
states declared Brannan's plan
would cost a staggering sum and
make farmers dependent on Fed
eral handouts. The convention
urged farmers to- cooperate with
programs Of the 1949 farm law
and said it will seek "any neces-
sary revisions" after it has been
given "a fair trial" This farm law
provides for flexible price supports
OH basic commodities, ranging
from rs to 80 per cent of parity
instead Of ~ to 80 per cent as
provided in the 1948 law. 1t fol-
lows farm bureau Recommended
tions.
The parity concept measures a
fair exchange relationship between
the price of commodities the
