RAILROAD TRACKS

One Delco man was killed and
another was critically injured
early Monday when they were hit
by a freight train of the Atlantic
Coast Line Railroad Company.
David Jerome Peterson, 80, was
killed instantly and James Byrd

The accident occurred just east
Of Delco about 4 a. m.
Apparently the two men fell
asleep with. their heads on the
crossties just inches from the
track. According to the best in
formation available here, it SEEM
ed likely that both raised their
heads when they were awakened
by the approaching train
Peterson was almost decapitated
and Byrd received severe injuries
to the head.
Coroner Lacy R. Thompson con-
Quoted a preliminary investiga-
ton.
Graveside rites for Peterson

Legion Baseball Team Meets Warsaw Here Friday

With two exhibition game VIC
tories over a strong Marion, S. C..
team already under their belt,
the Columbus County American
Legion baseball team will open
the regular seasons play against
Warsaw at Civitan field here FRI
day night at 800.
Coach Bill Ratteree has assem-
bled one of the strongest teams
that Columbus county has had in
several years and it is expected to
be one of the favorites in Area 2
this season. In the past three
years, at least two legion teams
have been fielded in Columbus
County and last year three teams
were entered from Columbus.
However, this season due to the
inability of the various posts to
secure ball players, only one team
has been entered in the league.
This one team is composed Of
players from Whiteville, Tabor
City, Chadbourn, Fair Bluff,
Acme-Delco, Elizabethtown, Tar
Heel and Lumberton. The one
team in the county is expected to
put the Columbus aggregation in
a position to compete with other
teams in the league for the first
time in several years.
No other county in the league
has had more than one team for
many years. Other counties enter
ing the Area 2 competition this
season are Laurinburg, Kinston,
Warsaw and Wilmington.
This marks Warsaw's first entry
into the league and little is known
of the strength of the Friday night
visitors. However, a good game is
expected to be offered spectators
in this opening encounter Of the
1852 season.
Although no definite decision
has been made, it was expected
that Coach Ratteree would start
Jimmy Jernigan on the mound
Friday night. Jernigan was the ace
hurler of the local high school
team and has indicated his talents
are among the best in the pitch
ing corps on the county legion
squad.
Joe Gore, of Williams township,
is expected to handle the catching
assignment although Rudy Horton
of Whiteville has shown up well in
this department thus far.
John Coins, of Lumberton, a IS
year old with great deal Of
promise, is expected to hold down
first base. Weyland Stanley, of
Whiteville, has the second base
job, Billy Small, of Fair Bluff, has
first call at shortstop and E. v.
Lehto, of Elizabethtown, and En-
est Ward of Whiteville, are ex.
pected TO see action at tnlrQ base.
The outfield will show Worth
Barnhardt Of Acme-Celco, in left
field, Dickie Lewis, of Whiteville,
in right field, and David Walters,
of Whiteville, in centerfield. Wal
tiers is also pitcher but is expect
ed to play centerfield when not
on the mound.
Other pitchers include Billy
Collier, of Whiteville, and Carlisle
Davis, of Tar Heel.
Utility men on the squad are
Sam Walden and Dale Thomplxins,
Of Tabor City, Buck jolly Of Chad
bourn, Mike Finnegan, Of Fair
mont, and Tom Brisson, Of Tar
hheei. "-:-

The certainties of a strong man are built
on a structure of resolved doubts BY the
time he reaches a conclusion. he has
travelled the hard road of reason. Even
then he will be tolerant of another mans
beliefs, and willing always to compare
them fairly with his own. The man with a
civilized mind is neither afraid nor
ashamed to change it.
Your uncritical loyalty to weak ideas
cannot make them strong. Be ever ready
to let your ideas stand up and fight for
themselves. Let them survive or die
according to their merit. 1t is only in ideas
honestly and bravely tested that you will
find security.

JUICY BIT. To get the facts for "Who
Gossips Most?" (see Page y, authors Lester
and Irene David eavesdropped on hundreds
of conversations In the lobby of one of New
York swank hotels, they spotted three mink
clad, diamond d-studded dowagers and moved
closer to hear their talk. They expected some
high-level gossip about the upper crust, but
this is what they got: I'VE always go there
:. it's on Madison Avenue they have
the best relish in New York - and the
juiciest hamburgers."
UNCERTAIN. About the time we first read
Arthur Gordon's realistic fiction story, THE
Press dispatch which began: "A noted French
scientist is waiting for closer look at Mars
before he discounts the flying saucers theory"
Until then we'd always felt that interplane-
tary travel was impossible, but now we're
beginning to waver. Especially since our
Office astronomer chimes in with the informa-
ton that Mars, on May 9th. was only
100000 miles away from Earth = a mere
hop, skip and jump, astronomically speaking.
Right now incidentally, you can see it about
sunset - a bright. reddish star in the southern
sky.
COMING UP. What do most people do when
they suddenly arrive at the scene of serious
highway. accident? After calling the police or
ambulance, do they try to help the injured,
or do they strictly obey the familiar rule,
Don't Move the Victim? According to
Elinor Ringland, a registered nurse, the rule"
is adhered to altogether too often; in many

HAVE YOU A CIVILIZED Mind?
by Oscar Hammerstein ii

@ we begin with certGinties, We shall

doubts. and are patient in hhsm, We shall
end in certointies." FRANCIS BACON
TVOo many men become certain about
l. too many things too early in their
lives. Over-eager to have everything
settled in their minds" they lack both
the wisdom and the courage to expose
their hastily adopted ideas to healthy
doubts. They cling with blind passion to
their false ''certainties" and too often are
ready to kill or be killed for them. In these
immature absolutists. lies the seed of
tragedy. The earth is sick with them.
