delivering tOgetner.
This latter seems to be most Of
the answer. The Yankees always
had good pitching. But it is even
better than it looked to be. A staff
that carries Vic Roschi, Bob Por-
terfield, Tommy Byrne, Allie Rey-
nolds, Joe Page, etc., is stand
out.
This doesn't mean the Yankees
are due to break up the American
league. But it does mean they are
far stronger ball club than any
one thought they would be. They
can hit and field and they have
able pitching. And they have, In
manager Stengel, leader who no
longer fears to look fate in the face.
Casey would have received his
share of razzing if the team had
blown up. Why not slip him the loud
huzzas for his place in the stand
ings today?
Early Checkup
May is still too early in the cam
paign to start any checking.
The big surprise in the National
league has been Giant pitching,
especially Hartung's pitching. Dur
ocher's staff has more than held
its own. The team has also been
hitting.
So far, no club has settled down
to any consistent play. The pitch
ing has been spotty. The Dodgers
have held their own more through
speed and youth than through ex-
pected good pitching. The team il
also hitting better than it figured
to hit.
The Giants have been up
around the front even with
Larry Jansen, their star
pitcher, off to a ragged start.
He is due to be much better
from now on.
The National league race has
proved to be as even as it, figured
from the start. At the end of the
third week of the season, gap Of
only four games separates the eight
clubs. The Pirates and Cardinals
are due to move up with long home
visits ahead. Especially the Pirates.
The slump of Johnny Sain has cut
heavily into the Braves shot at
a good early lead. Like Jansen, he
got away badly, but you can't rate
him that far down.
Washington, after ragged start,
has bounded back in the American
League with spectacular rush.
Chicago's White Sox have been a
big improvement over expected
doom. You will see the Red Sox
and Athletics start moving soon.

you are lucky enough to have q

Corn should never be husked

To keep corn fresh, leave 1t In

enough water to keep the corr

Drugs From

KAKATA, Liberia-(ANP)-A
grateful nurse and a joyful group
of inmates and friends looked on
this week as 20 boxes and cartons of
badly needed drugs and medicines
arrived at Grimes Memorial hospital
here. The drugs were gifts from
friends in the United States. They
had been collected by Eta Moten

Nurse Moore established Grimes

finished her nurse training at
Lincoln Nurse Training school in
New York, then took postgraduate
work in Cook County hospital in
Chicago, and Presbyterian hospital
in New York. She specialized in
maternal prenatal care, obstetrics
and infant welfare.
Located at Kakata, the dividing
line between the interior or less

ton has proven a boon, especially

The motorist, to be sure, is not
always to blame in tragedies such
as these two. Children are wont to
play in the streets-often for lack
of sufficient recreational areas. The
tots possess an almost Unsuitable in
centive for darting in and out be-
tween parked cars and other places
that obstruct them from the view
of the driver.
This places an extra obligation
on motorists to proceed along
thoroughfares like Germantown
street with EXTREME caution.
Speedy driving should be simply
outlawed by everybody who drives
a car. The accident rate along the
street is comparatively higher than
perhaps any other street in the
county. The poorer the vision, the
slower the driving should proceed.
An extra obligation is also placed
upon the parents of small children
to do everything in their human
power to influence their youngsters
to stay off the streets, to play in
areas designated for that purpose.
They are especially appealed to in

Although the federal housing act
authorizing $4,000 public housing
units and other plans for building
new homes has passed, the fight for
housing has not ended, the race re-
lations staff of the Federal Housing
authority advised last week.
The big fight will be staged on
local levels, the race relations staff
warned. Minority groups must get
in on the ground floor of housing
activities in their local areas. They
must be sure they get into private
housing developments through the
slum clearance plane as well as in
the public projects.
In a public statement to minority
groups, the staff said:
"The Presidents signature on the
housing act Of 1949 climaxes a long
and earnest effort of the American
people to gain a comprehensive
housing program. ..
"We wish we could tell you now
to relax and forget about housing.
But the real job at the grass roots
actually begins with legislative
authorization of the housing pro-
grams. While the home builders and
real estate lobby failed to block the
national legislation, they overly
threaten now to obstruct the slum
clearance and public housing pro-
grams through vigorous opposition
in each locality.
To make sure that minority
groups got their share of new hous-
ing the staff advised the following
steps:
81. To get in on the ground floor
of city and project planning, pre-
ferably through representation on
official city planning, land acquisi-
ton, and redevelopment bodies.
2. To effect inclusion of eligible
racial minority families in all de-
velopments, private or public, con-
J structed as a part of the redevelop-
ment program. 1t will be especially
important to gain admission of
minority group occupants Of rede-
veloped areas into any privately con-
structed housing on those same sites
since the legislation makes no pro-
vision guaranteeing this privilege
We must see to it that slum clear
