BOARD HAS HEAVY
SESSION HERE
MONDAY

The closing hours of the Super
visors' meeting Monday develop
ed into a battle of opposing pc
tons Many of the good people
of Camp Creek wanted a stock
law in that territory. An equal
number opposed stock law. And
so a battle royal ensued. The pro
ponents of the law were ably
led by Stanford Mullins and Arm
old Swindall The ants were as
ably led by Lem Perry and Mrs
Elva Honaker. Parks Hawkins,
supervisor from the ClintWood
District, on whom the burden of
decision seemed to rest, was in
evident discomfort, he being both
a conscientious man and candi-
date for reelection. At length
Supervisor Dotson, of the Kenne-
dy District, made a motion to all
low the stock law. Hawkins glum
ly gave second, and the deed
was done
The board disallowed a petition
for stock law in Counts Pre-
cinct, but allowed one on Jakes
Branch.
A petition to establish road
from the vicinity of Duty toward
Carrie was presented. The follow
ing citizens were appointed as
viewers to report to the board at
the next meeting: F F. Kiser, J.
R Tiller, Bascom Kiser, W J
Rasnake and w B. Owens.
The chairman of the board was
authorized to borrow $4,000 from
the bank for the general county
fund on August 80 if the ABC
funds had not been received from
the state by that time II was
said that he Abe funds coming to
the county this year would ex
coed $4,000.
A delegation appeared asking
for donation for help in buying
uniforms for the high school
band Members f the board ex-
pressed themselves as feeling that
demands on county funds would
not allow help to this cause.
Final approval was given to the
revised budget of the welfare de-
partment. This was made neces-
sary by recent increases in the
aid program voted by Congress.
The revised budget totaled near
ly 100000 for the fiscal year.
The board expressed willing
ness to provide quarters for the
county health unit, which will be
established here about Oct. /.

SPORTS
LOCALS DIVIDE
WITH BENHAM
By CLAUDE SHORT

ClintWood continued its anlaz-
ing resurgence by taking the first
game of the weekend series from
Benham The game was played
on the Playground Saturday. AL
though the game at Benham on
Sunday was one that we'd like to
forget, we can take some comfort
from Saturdays tilt.
Old Master Fuller was on the
mound and pitched with such
skill and cunning that the heavy
hitting Benham club had to be
satisfied with two runs. He re-
ceived excellent support from
the field. Wayne Kiser was the
hitting star with two safetieS in
five times at bat. He also drove
in the winning runs with a hefty
clout late in the game.
Sundays game at Benham was
a wild and wooley affair. The
players and three spectators
journeyed to the Harlan County
town The rlnpires gave h
weirdest exhibition ever seen in
the state of Kentucky: The game
ended with Benham on the long
end of an Is to 8 count.
Even this game was not with
out its bright spots. The Clint
wood fielders worked we'll, but
they simply could not snag
enough of the sizzling volleys
fired from the Benham bats to
hold down the score. AL of them
tried. Every member of the team
took a turn in the box.
Give us one more dependable
pitcher and we might come out Of
the cellar in the waning days of
the schedule

Among 7 in Swap
BY Pirates, Cards !.
BY tbs Assoeioisd Prsss

PITTSBURGH, June l5.-The
Pirates. desperately trying to get
out Of the National League cellar,
today snapped Third Baseman
Wally Westlake and Pitcher Cliff
Chambers to the Cardinals for
five players.
In exchange for the slugging
Westlake, who has Is homers, and
Chambers. the Pirates got these
players from the Cards:
Pitcher Howie Pollet, Catcher
Joe Garagiola. Outfielder Bill
HoWerton. Relief Pitcher Ted
Wilks and Rookie Shortstop Dick
Cole.
Pirate officials said no cash is
involved In the swap, biggest since
Branch Hickey took over as vice
president and general manager OF
the BucS.
Dickered Long for POllet.
A spokesman added:
| s. Hickey just phoned us from
New York saying he had finally
closed the big deal. Hickey is real
happy to get HOWE Pollet, the
pitcher he has been trying to get
for some time. Hickey and Fred
Saigh- Cardinals owner have
been dickering over Pollet for a
long time"
Westlake has been one of the
Pirates biggest assets as he's
driven in Is runs, second best in
1.-THE league. He's hitting .282 in
81 games and his 16 homers are
only four behind setting Gil
Hodges of the Dodgers.
Westlake started the season in
his regular position as an out
fielder but the desperate Pirates
shifted him to third base to try
and get more power in the lineup.
The high-handed hitting West
lake came to the Pirates from
Oakland Of the Pacific Coast
League in 1947.
Chambers has won three games
and lost six for Pittsburgh. He
hurled no-hitter against the
Braves May 6 but hasn't won a
game since. Chambers came to
the Pirates, with Catcher Clyde
cCullough in a trade with the
Cubs.
