Caruso Resigns AS Legion Coach
Will Hold Job
Though This Week

S. w. Caruso, coach of the
local American legion Junior
baseball team resigned from that
position today, effective follow.
ing the doubleheader scheduled
here with Wilmington Saturday.
Mr.. Caruso gave as his reasons
for reSigning in the middle Of the
season as interference from local
citizenry who have a hand in
Legion affairs in the actual run
ming of the team. Coach Caruso
said that he apparently was not
satisfactory to certain towns.
people and that criticism in his
manner of conducting the ball
club has prompted the move.
Some people who have Legion
boys at work in their places of
business in town have complain
ed that the boys were not free
to work enough. When Caruso
released these boys to work peo-
pie complained because the boys
were not receiving sufficient
practice. Some people have been
cliticizing me for not having
them bunt more, other are critl'
Ching me for having them bunt
too much.
Some persons have gone so far
as to criticize the way | was con-
Quoting the team during a game
and at the bench in the presence
of the players.
also, persons have yelled be,
cause l would not get up and
start an argument during tho
time a game was in progress
when a decision was wrong in
the sight of the spectators. 1t
has been my policy to discus
these decisions with the officials
after the game or at least after
the inning and l do not believe
in causing undue argument at 8
baseball game or any other attn
letic event. Usually, when l have
felt that an official gave up more
than our share of bad breaks
we simply didn't have that Off
cial again." Caruso said.
"They are many other things
that have led to my decision TO
resign. With things like they are.
it would seem to be in the best
interest of the ball club.
1--WE have one of the finest
group of players that I have ever
seen. They have cooperated in
every way and I feel sure that
they will continue to make them
selves felt in the area race and
win their share of the remaining
games scheduled" Mr.. Caruso
stated.
eve didn't hear criticism
while the boys were winning, and
we were leading the league at
the end of the first two weeks
but as soon as we started losing
ball games, everyone seemed to
know how we could win them
and with conflicting criticism on
every hand, there is no way to
meet with everyone's approval,
Crauso continued.
II wish to sincerely Thanh
those persons who did give me
the-..s whelehearted support and
:. Ssh for the team the best
lie success in their remain
lThg games

F.,lvle Affidavits Solicited,
Represented, Persons Say

Mrs. J. P. Brown, registrar in
the South Williams precinct, this
week said that spokesman for
F. Ertel Carlyle forces in Tabor
City miSrepreSented the affida-
Wits which have been circulated
in this area in an effort to show
that more than the 209 votes
reported for Carlyle here in the
first primary were actually put
in the boxes.
The article carried by The Tri.
bune last week was reported by
Carlyle spokesman and stated
"4I5 nOtarized affidavitS We're be-
ing held which stated that the
Signer had voted for Carlyle in
the primary. The statement also
said these aftidavitS were pro-
cured on voluntary basis and
none We're solicited"
At Mrs. Browns request, The
Tribune has made ar effort to
determine whether or not the
affidavitS were solicited and jus
what persons We're toiL prior to
the signing.
The following statement was
made by Mrs. \. D. Chandler
and Mary Sue Chandler u route
i, Tabor City.
We voted for Carlyle III tn,
first primary. y few days attHt
the election, VIC were in tow
and Mr.. Jesse Ray told us that
Mr.. Carlyle was responsible fol
the paved roads that we have
and that Tabor City voted
against him. He said that if
Carlyle didn't stay in office, all
road paving in this section might
De stopped. He said that if we
would go to one of the grocery
stores in town and get some
papers to sign which would say
that we voted for Carlyle, it
would help. We went to get the
papers but that place didn't have
any. However. we were told of
another business that did have
them and we went there to get |
them. They told us that if we vot-
ed for Carlyle. to sign the papers
aud have them notarized. We
took the papers and brough'
them home. We never did sign
them because we didn't see why
we should have to get a notary
public to sign them. We feel that
our signatures were solicited.
Mrs. Brown this week reiterat
ed that the election was fair IN
every detail, and that she felt
the purpose of the affidavits had
been. misrepresented to many OF
the persons who signed them.
Some people have told me
that they signed the affidavlts
after solicitors had told them
that Mr.. Carlyle might lose his
job if they didn't" Mrs. Brown
said.
Il thing that all this uproar
is hurting the community and
there is little use in it all. NV
husband and l have been IT
Tabor City for about 25 years
and the people know that we are
not guilty of any irregularities,
Mrs. Brown said.
The Tribune was unable TO
contact Mr.. Ray to get his state
ment as to whether the above
remarks were as he made them
to the parties quoted.
The Tribune again wishes to
make it clear that it is making
no charges against anyone. The
present management was not
even in town when the first prl-
mary was held. The newspaper
has simply printed the state
ments as gwen to it by various
sources.

Here are some facts about X.
raging itself:
1T TAKES ONLY A MINUTE
OR TWO TO BE X-RAYED.
THERE is NO UNDRESSING
1T is FREE
EVERY PERSON WHO is X
RAYED RECEIVES A CONFI'
DENTAL REPORT BY MAIL
Each person receives a written
report on his x-ray after two or
three weeks. If the x-ray shows
that the chest is all right, a post
al card will bc sent. II the x-ray
shows anything which needs fur
Their study. the health depart
ment will send a letter, asking
that person to come into the heal
tn department for second,
larger film, which will also be
free. Results of this X-ray Will
be made available to the person
and his private physician.
Persons who have ever been un,
der treatment for tuberculosis
should not go to one of the trail
ers for an x-ray, but, instead
they should get large x-ra5
the sanatorium, private s&
cians's office, or at special y /
film clinics which will beSNf
during the survey.
Children over four and un'ier
fifteen who have been contacts
of cases of tuberculosis may be
referred for x-ray by public
health nurses and private physl,
clans. Children not referred Will
not be x-rayed, because there is
little tuberculosis among children
of these ages. tuberculosis IS a
disease of adult life, and it con-
tinues into old age. 1t is very i'm
portant for old people TO 'be
x-rayed.
If tuberculosis is present, a
