him that he is forgiven and
give him back his cow. We
hope it will teach him a les
son in the art of forgiving as
we'll as learning to take care
of his cattle.
This week we got a number
of boxes! Some of them had
things in for all of us. The one
from the Gospel Tabernacle
enclosed a lovely leather loose
leaf note book for each of us;
also dress material and bobby
pins. Harold and Charlotte
sent me a beautiful skirt and
blouse, and a slip for Sis, as
we'll as things for the Lichtys.
Bessie sent us each a pretty
box of stationery. We also re-
ceived other things, including
a fruit cake, an apron, sew
ing materials, etc - all very
lovely things, which are very
much appreciated.
Please send me your 'John-
ny Cake" recipe-we have lots
of corn flour. It is different
from that home, but we could
try it and see what happens!

there, wherever the grass is
greenest. We usually hear
them by the tinkle of their
bells, but that night they had
no bell, and we had a good
sleep. On Sunday morning
when we awoke, we found a
whole herd of cows at the side
of the house. They had eaten
all the garden greens and had
come into the yard for their
dessert. There was large gar
den Of beans, sweet potatoes,
native vegetables (like spin
ach), etc., which was practi-
cally all demolished.
The girls guarded the cows
while we sent man to bring
the owner. Gardens in this
country are protected by law,
and if they are ruined as in
this case, fine is put on the
owner. He came and brought
group of Nandi elders with
him. We explained to him that
it was our girls food, and the
Africans themselves were at
a loss. It was decided that he
should pay 20 shillings, over
which he protested, of course.
He paid 10 shillings down and
we told him we would hold one
cow until the rest was paid.
It was left that way for a
week, but tomorrow we are
planning to attend a big ''bara-

asked the native if the bike
was in good condition and he
answered, ooh yes, yes, very
good bike-in very good con-

were soft and on inspecting
them, I saw holes clear through
the tire so that the inner tude
showed. There were little bulg-
es here and there, indicating
a blowout in the near future.
We pumped up the tires a
bit, adjusted the front wheel
so it didn't rub, and decided to
take a chance. The trip going

After we had visited with

some of the natives, we were

Blows Sox Boffery

The White Sox treated them
selves to a fully charged bat
terry during the recent m o r
league draft when they put the
$4,000 finger on Pitcher Bill
Connolly of Toledo and Catcher
Joe Frautt of Baltimore.
Connolly, a "a year old right
handler who won 8, lost IL, with
the last place Mud Hens in 1949,
was tagged as sleeper" by
Sox G.. M. Frank Lane, and de-
scri bed by Chisox scouts as
having a great curve and plen-
ty fast" Connolly. 6 foot and 1875
pounds, struck out 134 batters
in 172 innings for Toledo, and
on September 8 turned in a no
hit, no run game against Louis
vile.
He broke in right in with the
Philadelphia Athletics in 1945,
winning one and losing one, and
has since twirled with Toronto,
Savannah and Buffalo.
Catcher Erautt, age 27 and a
right hand batter, blasted South
ern Association pitching at a
.305 and .312 clip while with
Little Rock during the past two
seasons and now gives Manager
slow four backstops from
which to choose.

Greater Rabbit Kill
In Mich. This Year

LANSING, Dec. 20 - A rab-
bit kill in excess of last seasons
l 1,025, 900 is believed to be in the
bag" but conservation depart
ment game men are reluctant to
go on record until final hunting
reports are received.
Rabbit hunting ends Decem-
ber 81 in the lower third of the
state, continues through January
81 in the northern lower penin-
sula and through March l in the
upper peninsula.
Usually hunter reports to de-
partment field men in good
years reflect spotty increases in
the kill, while in the case of
rabbits this season the news has
been generally favor b e
throughout the state.
Tracking snow the last days of
the southern Michigan season
could induce final swing to the
fields and fresh SHOWS could aid
hunting as upstate seasons prog
ress. Few rabbit hunters were
out in the early fall when the
emphasis was on pheasant and
other game. Late Move m b r
SHOWS brought out the hunters
and their h houn d S and many
sportsmen continued to hunt in
December although the white
covering disappeared in many
areas.

Grand Rapids Rockets, cur
rent leaders of the Eastern Hoe
key League will pay another Wis
it to Toledo on New Years day

eyes who are now trailing the
Michigan team by two games.
The Michigan team, the hot
test combination on ice this sea-
son, has defeated the Toledo
team three times this season
while the Buckeyes have won
once from the Rockets. In four
other games, two at Grand Rap
ids and two on local ice, the
Buckeyes and the Rockets have
ended in tie scores.
At Full Strength
Coach Andy Mulligan of the
Buckeyes will have his team at
full strength. He is particularly
pleased with the work of the
Timmins, Harrison-Cu Cunningham
line against the Detroit team in
their inter-league contest last
Sunday night. This combination
scored four goals and made five
a ssists in the GA win by the
Buckeyes.
Did 1t Hard Way
The Buckeyes scored tie the
hard way against the Rockets in
their last meeting at the Furni-
ture City. The Michiganders
took the lead 10 at the start of
the game and the Toledo team
tied up the score three t i m e s
during the play, scoring their
final marker late in the last
period to earn a tie score for the
game.
Coach Wally Kilrea will bring
his entire squad with the Roc
kets to Toledo for the game Sun
day, although the league rules
will allow each team to dress
only thirteen players for the
game.
On Wednesday night, January
4th, the Boston Olympics will
return to Toledo for a second
game with the Buckeyes.

years when you'll have to
cheer him." Old Luke cer-
tainly has made iris look
good on his prophecy.
In the 1888 season Luke
found his stride, hitting 1922
and batting in IS runs. The
fans began that now familiar
cry which to the uninitiated
sounds so much like a chorus
of booeS-"Com-on Luuuke. "
And Luke came on like a
champion, h ittin G 1903 in
1884, adding a .307 perform
ance through l53 games in
1885 and then really bang
ing the ball in 1886 for a
1893 batting average that
brought him the league hit
ting crown, driving in 1913
runs for his all-time high in
that department.
He hit ,317 in 1897, slip
ped off to a 1903 mark in
1898 when leg fracture
kept him out until the lat
ter part of the year. In
1899 Luke hit .314, then
surged up to .348 i'm 1910,
just four points off Joe
Di Maggio's league leading
mark. Luke came through
with a .314 mark in 1941
before slipping to 1852 in
1912. He roared back for
a 1928 mark that captured
another league batting
title in 1943 before spend
ing the 1914 season in the
army. Returning to action
for lS games late in 1945,
Luke hit 1862 for those 18
contests, and followed
with marks of .309, .306
and .314 the next three
seasons.

Not that it wasn't rough
going for the then young
Luke when he first joined
the club late in the 1880 sea-

him wind up with a .232 bat

And Ii was tough in the

hundreds of youngsters who
spent a vacation at the Local
IL Summer Camp last year.
"Well, if it isn't Danny
You've grown a little since last
summer, haven't your" we
asked.
AS we recalled the lad his
first day at the camp he was q
shy looking little kid and one
who probably wouldn't make
friends too easily. 1t turned out
the boy had never had an op-
portunity to go to a summer
camp before and didn't exactly
know what was going to hap
pen.
Well, as was the case with all
the other kids who visited the
Local IL Summer Camp, il
didn't take him long to find out
Within a matter of hours he was
running, laughing and playing
with other kids as If they hao
all been lifelong friends.

the first time you had us kids
box at the Summer Camp" he
said, then remembering ou1

sure did," Danny added.

7th grade in school but was
tired of it, as are most kids his
age, and was anxious for sum.
mer to come. For vacation, o1
course, and another trip to the
Summer Camp.
After he left we began tt
wonder. Here it was five
months since he had been a
camp but the memory was al
fresh in his mind as if he hac
returned yesterday.
It made us feel very good Il
find out the boy had such ar
enjoyable time at the camp
And better yet he had liked the
Local IL recreation program.
For those of you who may
not know we had a complete
recreation program set-up at the
camp for both boys and girls
Swimming, volleyball, softball
handicraft, boxing and other
outdoor sports were offered the
kids under competent supervi'
sion.
We devised a recreation pro
gram to aid both the menta
and physical development of ev'

help was given each kid.
