No More Damp Cellars, Dusty Drives

Summer is almost here, and
with all its easy outdoor living
which homeowners look forward
to, it also brings some discom-
forts. HighSon this list of discom-
forts is the damp, clammy cellar,
that encourages rust, mildeW and
rot. Another is the dust from
driveways and unpaved streets,
that makes housekeeping con-
slant and breathing distasteful.
This is the story of a homeowner
who decided to do something about
these two summer bugaboos, and

Scholarship to come to ST. Croix is Lloyd Abel, a 1850 gradu-
ate OF the Christiansted High School. He is the son of Mr..
Arthur Abel of Frederksted, popular and well known through
out the Islands. This young winner, because of the very fact
that he won, should be congratulated, and there is every con-
tidence that capital will be made of the opportunity. What
basis was used for determining the winner is not important
at present. Examination papers were prepared on the main
land and those Immediately in charge set up a system which
was fair to all concerned, which is what is accepted every
where. If funds were available and conditions favorable, the
runners-up might be eligible for other scholarships. AS con-
diions now stand, the young man and woman must make,
their own way or forego entrance to college.
THIS HANDS-ACROSS-THE-SEA program got a fur
ther impetus when Judge HASTE took the initiative in a lunch
con the proceeds of which go to this scholarship fund. At that
meeting were many leaders of the Islands. The program got
its first public airing when Attorney Moorhead and a small
group responded to the call and made it known that every
effort would be made to match whatever funds were put up
from across the sea. Those of us here should do all we can to
match all funds and even take a greater share of the res
possibility.
CONCENTRATIONS ARE IN order, both to young
Abel, the first winner of the scholarship, and his family, and
TO this must be added the hope that there will be the fullest
gfasping of the opportunity.

get the runner Fine back-up work
by Yogi Berra kept Goliat on first
base.
Trying to bunt him over, Roberts
popped to Reynolds but Eddie Wait
kus moved Goliat all the way to
third with a bad hop single over
Coleman's head into short right
field. The ball skidded off the edge
of the infield grass and careened
wildly over Coleman's head for a
single.
Ashburn tied it up with fly to
Gene Woodling, so deep that there
was no chance for play on Goliat
at the plate.
Two double plays, the first of the
series, stifled Phillie threats in the

Yanks Blow Chance
The Yanks blew a chance to
knock off the Phils earlier when
Bobby Brown and Hank Bauer
singled with one out in the eighth.
Roberts bore down to get Coleman
on an infield bouncer to Hammer,
the first Phil assist, and retired
REYNOLDS on a called third strike.
The Phils tore into Reynolds for
four extra base hits after being held
to two lonely singles by Raschi IN
the opener. Hammer collected
triple and double and Watkins ana
Ashburn both doubled.
Outside of DiMaggios homer, the
only other Yank extra baser was
