Last year, Niseiville'7 interest
centered on the Nisei Veterans Com

of them entered in the Puget Sound
Semi-Pro league.
The Savoys finished ahead of the
Vets, wound up in fourth place,
but bowed out in the p S. playoff

Savoys, banking heavily on the Ia
Tented right arm of DicK Standen,,
wee very much in the running for
the P, s. flag during the first round
of play. When Standen was order

were snothered to the ground. The
hard-firing righthan Ter, however
was around to pitch the Savovs to
20 victory over the Vets IN the
second-round opener, leaving them
with a respectable 7-3 recold.
But, alas, without Staaden, the
Savoys proved to be Just another
outfit in the loop. They lost fou

A>book too big to do justice to in
a single review, but too inexpensive
not to own, is "A Treasury of IVES
tern Folklore (Crown), edited by
B. A. Botkin and with a foreword
by Bernard De Voto. In more than
800 pages, Botkins has brought toge-
ther the stories, legends, tall tales,
traditions, ballads, and songs of the
people of the Great Plains and the
Far West. This book is the West
the old West and part of the new
in an unequalled collection of the
humor and pathos from the days of
boom and settlement, prospecting
and sheepherding, demonstrating
and covered wagons, cowboys and
Indians.
Ernest Haycox started writing a.
bout 1920 while at the University of
Oregon. He lived in an abandon
ed chicken house and papered three
walls with rejection slips before his
stories began to sell. When he died
last year he had written % novels
and some $50 short stories, most of
them about the West. His last work,
and possibly his best, is THE Earth
breakers" little, Brown, the story
of one full year in the lives of a
group of settlers in Oregon Terri
tory in 1845. Haycox has also writ
ten of his own feeling for the West.
IT know the West, having been born
in it and having been raised from
shingle mill to logging camp to
ranch to coal mine. I feel
this West distinctly. To me, some
little faded town. tucked a
way in a fold of the Cascades, nou-
rishing the memory of more ro-
bust career, is more valid than any
great city.
Poetry corner: Take good look
at Theodore Roethke's latest vo-
lume, Praise to the End" Double
day., for the work of one of the
few top-ranking American poets.
Roethke speaks through the voice
of child just coming into consci-
BUSINESS of the natural world, and
with all the freshness of a child's
wonderment and expression. This
volume has been described as an
important book in the advancement
of modern poetry. And, admitting
that modern poetry may be in need
of advancement, Praise to the
End" is poetry that can be read

Apple Crop Outlook
Declared Favorable
BY The Assoeiated Pres.

WINCHESTER, Va, Mar. 20
The outlook for the 1852 apple
crop in Northern Virginia is fav-
orable, according to DR.. Walter s.
Hough, entomologiSt and weather
observer at Winchester Research
Laboratory, local branch of the
Virginia Agricultural Experiment
Station.
So far. he said. there is no evi-
dence of weather damage. The
winter weather has been unusually
favorable for peaches and apples
with no extremes in temperatures.
Precipitation from November
through March has been suffi-
GENTLY above normal to offset most
effects of the drought that pre-
vailed from late July through
October.
Fruit bud development of apple
and peach trees Is near normal,
DR.. Hough said. and may come
later than normal It the
weather through April continues
cooler than usual.
If Dinitro spray was not used
during the dormant season, grow
ers are advised to be prepared to
combat this insect in the pink or
petal fall spray. preferably with
parathion at the rate of one
pound Of Is per cent powder in
100 gallons of water. BHC is less
effective than parathion, DR..
Hough said.
