more do you think Joe DiMaggio is good for ?-S. H.
 ANSWER: That is hard uues- tlon to answer, and the answer de- bends good deal upon his heel. If his heel gets better and he man ages to get in about two thirds of the games he will be a great help to the Yankees this year, but the facts indicate that the club itself is not so sure how much longer he is going to be good as a fu1l-time player and this by the large con- tract they gave him, but, for just one year. I wouldn't be surprised however if Joe goes along with the Yankees as long as he wants to- stay with them.
 QUESTION: What did you think of the Kid Gavilan-Ike Williams fight ?-R. F.
 ANSWER: I really believed that Ike was going to win that fight, but it seems as though I have un- derestimated Kid Gavilan. In fact, I have never put him in the same class with Ike Williams, neverthe- less, I think he is biting off a bit more than he can handle when he asks for Sugar Ray Robinson for his next opponent. Then again, l might be understanding him there.
 QUESTION: Like few thousand others I was laid off from the shop, however, don't think I want to go back into the shop again. What do you think are some of the best occupations to get into ?-J. M.
 ANSWER: Some of the best prospects for employment accord ing to the Labor Departments Bu- reau of Labor Statistics, seem to be for those learning the occupa- tions of bricklayers, doctors, auto mobile mechanics, librarians, sten- ographers and foundry workers.

up all over town.
The first electric lights for

The first lights here were
