WHITE 50x HITTING IN
 WIN STYLE
By Associated Press

Maybe it's only Al Zarilla but the White Sox are hitting like Red Sox now.
 Zarilla is making Frank Lane, the Chicago general manager, look hKe the American Leagues Branch Hickey. And all because of deal that looked like bum move last December.
 They laughed when Lane traded Ray Scarborough and Willie Wight to Boston for Zarilla, Joe Dobson and Dick Littlefield Must be plen- ty of dough involved" the wise guys said. lane said No"
 Lane kept insisting it was an 'even trade" that would help both clubs.
 Wight, knocked out by New York opening day, was Boston's first loser. Zarilla, bursting with power, is hit ting .445 with two home runs, a double and two singles accounting for seven RBIs in two days.
 brOWnhcS htcp AOoihS
 The Zarilla fever is catching. Or maybe it's the St. Louis Brownie pitching. Chicago has Hailed the Brownie staff for a total of 30 runs and 33 hits in two days for club batting average just under the 400 mark. Naturally they won both games.
 Zarilla and Eddie Robinson each spanked a three-run homer yester- day in the 13-5 rout of the Browns before only 1.079 fans.
 It's been years since you didn't have to turn the newspaper upside down to find both Chicago teams on top. But look quick, before some thing happens. Both the White Sox and Cubs are riding high, tied for first place.
 Frankie Frisch, Cub manager, got a well-pitched game from Pau! Minner, the Dodger refugee, to shut out Cincinnati, 80, on seven hits.
 New York Boston Split
 The New York Giants and Boston concluded their opening series all even by splitting Patriots Day doubleheader after six-hour A. minute wrestle. The second game, a 1O-inning affair, was played under light from the third inning on and finished in a drizzle.
 Jim Hearn won the opener, Az, with steady seven-hit ball.
 Earl Torgcson finally broke up the wild second game at 8:10 pm by singling off Dave Koslo with the bases loaded for 1912 edge.
 Rain and cold weather polished off the rest of yesterdays program
 Today's Schedules
 Today the seven big league clubs which haven't played home open their season. topped by a day-night doubleheader at Washington be- tween the New York Yankees and the Senators. President Truman will throw out the first ball at the day game.
 Philadelphia will play at Boston St. Louis at Cleveland and Detroit at Chicago for other games in the American. The National sends Bos- ton to Philadelphia and Brooklyn to New York in the afternoon and Chicago to St. Louis for night game. Cincinnati, which opened a day early Monday, will be idle along with Pittsburgh.

Bicycle Riders Are Responsible

with the coming of Spring it's time for parents
to- remind their bie-rding boys and girls that traffic
laws apply to them well to motorists" advises
the manager of the Keystone Automobile Club in
Maryland There are Bicycle Laws and Bicycle Code
governing of bikes on public highways and
thoroughfares, but too often they dsregarded or
even unknown to many persons" he continues.
ms is a timely warning-we have long felt that
parents and teachers mostly ignorant of the fact
that bicycle rider in traffic is just responsible for
hts own safety and that of others as the driver of
automobiles and trucks. n ~ =! 3ta... |I. Z
HOW MANY OF YOU KNOW THIS? We quote
the Keystone:
Bike riders are required to obey all traffic signals
and signs, proper hand signals for turns ride on
right side Of highways close to curb park vehicles in
safe place, stop and render assistance in case of
accident and report to police assume liability for any
damage resulting from careless and negligent operation
OF bike when other party not guilty of negligence stop
while passengers are boarding and aghting from street
cars, and keep bike in safe operating condition
Bike riders forbidden by law to hitch on or
hold fast to any other vehicle carry extra passenger
on the handebars or any other part of bike engage
IN any trick or fancy riding highways and ride bike
on sidewalks unless local ordinances direct otherwise
Strict observance of these traffic laws by all bike
riders Will go long way toward making highways safer
There are certain localities where it is evident
that children are taught to ride pedestrian walks
facing traffic We have noticed this particularly around
the Derwood vicinity. Sad to relate when we stopped
girl last summer to tell her she the wrong side
OF the road she merely gared and continued to ride
facing traffic 1t is most disconcerting when meeting
car to simultaneously have bicycle coming toward
YOU On almost daily trips from Rockville to Gathers
burg last summer encountered two boys riding side
by side, often with dog running in front of them
the boys would separateone to each side of the road
and the dog would from to another Just out
side. of Rockville almost daily coored boy carried
smaller boy on his handlebars, weaving along the
wrong side OF the road-two offenses which we
wondered were not noticed by police patromen. We
could site dozens of and also repeat the insults
we almost invariably received when tried to tell the
Youngsters they disobeyng the and endanger-
ing their lives.
We hope the County Accident Prevention force
VIII cooperate with the automobile clubs in MAKING
parents and bicycle, riders awared of their
responsibilities.

LETTER Box

To the Montgomery County Sent
incl.
Dear Mrs. Haines,
None of the newspapers, not even
our good Sentinel, has explained
to the general public just why the
Montgomery County Historical
Society is eeking not only a home
for its his torical documents and
other articles, but one with some
acreage attached. May l have a
Little space to explain the obJec-
tives of IT, e Society as l see them?
There ] S a lesson of the great
est impo rtance for the youth of
today to learnt lies in the grass
roots of the county history. Our
mothers and fathers and their
pioneer ancestors found in their
toll, priVations, sweat and tears,
the m.ajes ty of independence. They
gave to their nation the full mea-
sure of production-they did not
ask their government for complete
support.
In ord err to show the way of
life of our forefathers, the His
torical Society hopes there may be
set aside site for the display of
the tools with which this greatest
of all counties was built. We want
to preserve the fast disappearing
horse ARID OK drawn wagons, carts
and carr'Ages-the agricultural i'm
plements and hand tools now often

Washington SiIhousttss

One Of the most venerable figures
around Washington and the national
press club Is an old-timer-talf,
lean, white-thatched Earl Venable,
who came down here as a. young
newspaper man as secretary to
Senator Borah back in 1908. For
the past twelve years he has been
secretary to the national Repub-
hcan congressional committee. Be-
fore coming to Washington he was
editor Of the Idaho Statesman at
Boise, and his father, Bert Venable,
was a printer and publisher of the
weekly Payette Independent, where
Earl cut his newspaper teeth. Only
recently Earl was retired as active
secretary Of the committee, al
though he is retained in a consultive
capacity q. . Senator Malone of
Nevada has introduced a weed con-
troll bill While the senate crime
investigating committee is investi-
eating gambling and horsera cling,
some members OF congress almost
daily visit the race tracks near
Washington--these include Laurel,
Bowie, Charlestown and Pimlico.

Initiation Battle
IN WASHINGTON

THE QUESTION of whether we
4 are winninr :'Ge initiation figh; !
which is an integral factor in the
fight against communism, is prob
ably the most discussed topic in
the nation today, especially here in
Washington.
From the political angle, it de-
Ponds on which side OF the fence
you are standing; from the econom-
ic angle it depends on whether you
are looking at the picture from an
immediate dollars and cents angle
or from the perspective of the long
pull.
The most important question.
however, is whether the American
people are really trying to win this
fight, whether they are back of the
program now in effect wholeheart-
eddy, or whether they are standing
aside and watching the men placed
in charge Of the controls agencies
butt their heads Intellectually against
stone wall.
Allan Kline, president Of the
AFBF, says, I'VE are opposed to
price, wage and ration controls"
Price and wage controls are in
effect. He further says the real
cure lies in increased production,
strict government economy, pay-as-
we-go taxation, effectiv credit con-
trolls, and sound management of the
public debt. We have increased pro-
duction. We have credit controls
and pay-as-we-go tax has been
asked for by the President. Wheth-
er We have strict government econ
omy or sound management of the
public debt, is another moot ques-
ton.
Labor leaders have walked out
Of the controls picture. They call
it a lockout" Walter Reuther,
UAW-CIO president, says the so
called price control order is fraud
on the American people" Thus we
have leaders of the two largest
Segments of the people opposed 10
efforts now being made to halt
price rises and initiation. Certainly
there is no spirit of cooperation
manifest there.
Now comes Eric Johnston, the di-
rector of economic sterilization,
who says both labor and farmers
arSt wrong. Johnston admits in the
sewn weeks he has been boss of the
sterilization program nothing spec
tachar has happened, that cost and
wage inereases have not stopped.
But, he says the. rate in increase
has been stopped and that's the
first victory in battling initiation"

Admits Mistakes

Johnston admits heA4iGs made
mistakes, that he will make more,
that he has MUCH to learn, that he
has stepped Oh toes. lbut that his
choice has been, between making
painful progress forward, step by
step, or being frightened to asstand-
still ~ people who yell ''ouch."
Johnston says he believes the farm
err wants fair treatment and equal
consideration, that industry wants
thF same thing, that labor wants
tKSt1too, that all farmers, labor and
industry are equally determined to
do what is necessary to preserve
free America. But what they seek is
only what THEY consider fair treat
ment for themselves. So what is
fair treatment. he asks? No group
is going to agree exactly with the
others, or with him. But there must
be an umpire. So umpiring will be
his job and he's going to call 'em
like I see EN-

farm homemakers at this of the year, as they
plan the cleaning and busting of the room the airing
of blankets and rugs, and the throwing out of the

Tor husbands to take notice of the things which might
find their way to the fire.

repairing broken steps and lot of smaller odd Jobs can
be the farmers way of housekeeping along with

being sold for junk. We would
like to set up blacksmith and wheel
wright shops and provide a place
to exhibit the first efforts in
manufacture and arts.
! There are three reasons for our
wanting to do this-to arouse in
our youth the desire to produce
and not to wait for help; to have
our large newly arrived population
grow to esteem our county and
take a pride in its traditions; and
as stated before, to save those
precious iIreplaceable tools before
it is too late.
AS we move into a new era, the
Historical Society has asked the
County Council to recognize the
value Of preserving, by museum,
the best of the old era.
America provides the highest
average by far in religious, educa-
tional and business opportunity.
A reawakening is in order-to
build an even better future - a
future in which the citizens make,
the government and not one in
which the government cradles the
people.
