CLINTON
BLANKS
RED DEVILS
BY Jimmy Carroll

Clinton'S DarkhorSes, behind the
effective 4 hit shutout pitching of
Robert McClanahan, handed the
Tabor City Red Devils their second
loop defeat last Thursday night AT
Clinton SO. The game was ONLY a
Z inning affair due to the severe
GOODNESS but play was exceptional
considering this circumstance.
The biggest threat the locals
could muster came in the very
first inning. Neil Gore sacrificed
Walden to second after the latter
had reached first on an error by
Shortstop Draughon. Then Jimmy
Tompkins punched a single thru
the middle advancing the runner
to third. Weldon Gore, batting
clean UP, slammed cutter to the
mound. McClanahan made a great
stop OF the ball, turned and fired
to second forcing Tompkins while
IN turn keystoner Travis threw
home mailing Walden, completing
the double play, and ending the
threat.
Clinton Sewed the game up in
the second stanza tallying a lone
marker on three safties. They add
ed 4 runs in the fourth or brace
of one baggers and a double to
end the scoring for the night.
Exceptional fielding by both
teams and the magnificent hurting
of McClanahan highlighted the
chilly tilt. David Anderson began
IN the hill for -" lnrci =. It gave
way to fireman Whitley Tompkins
in the fourth. Between them they
were reached for bingles while
they managed TO whiff four.
No local was able to garner more
than one hit off the Slants of Nc
Clanahan. Peterson did the most
damage TO the Red Devils cause
hammering out perfect 3 for 3
including a triple. The setback
left the locals with a record of one
win against two losses in AA con-
ference competitor.

LOCAL WORKERS ARE BUSY
ON CANCER DRIVE QUOTA

Those who work for cancer
. control all year around in Tabor
City know how badly money is
needed" said Mrs. B. A. Carroll,
local American Cancer Society
crusade chairman. The Tabor City
unit is seeking to raise $500.
"Our volunteers have been
touched by the plight of the can
Ger patient Mrs. Carroll said and
many have been helped locally
through personal service and the
cooperative basis in which the
, county welfare department and
Cancer Society works" About 25
patients have received financial
aid through that program this
year, Mrs. Carroll pointed out.
"A number of Columbus County
citizens who have incurable cancer
are now patients in the North Car
DINA Cancer Institute located in
Lumberton. The Columbus County
unit of the society helps TO main
tain this home through financial
! support from the annual drives
and by supplying dressings and
linens made by volunteer groups"
1--WE realize that the major part
of the Society's funds must 60 for
the long range program of educa-
ton and research so that those
who might otherwise become VIC
Tins can be saved if at all posi-
ble,' Mrs. Carroll explained.
However, it is a natural human
desire to assist a stricken neigh
Dor. That's why our volunteer
program is so successful"
by contributing to the Ameri-
can Cancer Society our workers
know that all phases of the fight
against cancer are being covered,
not only service but education and
research as we'll.
You too can help prevent can

State Drops To Tenth In Crude Oil Production
As Colo. Climbs; g Finds Brighten Outlook

Mississippi, for several years
holder of ninth rank among the
oil producing states of the ma
ton. has dropped to tenth place
as Colorado crude oil production
rose steadily in 1853 while the
Magnolia States output remained
relatively static
According to oil industry sta
tistlcs, Mississippi production has
not increased materially since
l947, and the states known re-
serves have actually declined,
even though numerous new oil
fields" have been, discovered.
Find Poole--Not Fields
The last really large reservoir
to be proven in Mississippi was
the Lagrange field, established in
Adams county in 1947. The
term "oil field" brings to the av-
erage mans mind a forest of der
ricks. Unfortunately. this is not
a true picture of most Mississippi
fields" Of the states IS oil
and natural gas fields, 40 have
less than five producible wells.
Twenty of these have only one
well, yet constitute a field" be-
cause they are separate from any
other producing area.
Attempts to. develop field dis
coveries in Mississippi have fail
ed with monotonous regularity.
Outpost" or 'offset" wells drill
led near a new discovery have
turned out to be "dusters"-dry
holes-more than enough times to
give Mississippi a reputation for
yielding small pools of oil rather
than large fields.
Confident that Oil in paying
quantities can someday be found

cooks feel they must have. Re-
member that old saying that the
good cook knows her onions.
Usually onions are used as
seasoning - but why not include
them in your menus as a separ-
ate vegetable in themselves?
Change the pattern and serve
them boiled, creamed, stuffed,
fried or scalloped with nuts or
apples, for example. Boiled slic-
ed onions make a favorful gar
nish for beef loaf. Fried onions
are old favorites with liver.
As for the onion soup - hot,
hearty, flavor-rich and welcome
for chillier days - here's how to
make four cupfuls:
Cook ~ cups finely chopped
onions in 2 tablespoons butter or
margarine until lightly Drowned.
Blend in 2 tablespoons flour. Add
/ quart hot beef broth and stir
until smooth. Add salt and pep
per. Simmer until onion is ten
der and flavor well blended. Top
each bowlful with a square of
toast sprinkled with dry grated
cheese.

\ AiIssissippi, drillers have con-
unued To set up their rigs" and

dent and major companies operat-
ng u Mississippi have upheld the
rep ltation the oil industry earn
ID years ago for following the
adage 'if at first you don't sue

20 To l Odds
Here IN Mississippi, the men
and companies who seek to find
and develop our hidden oil and
gas .esources face many difficult
les. both natural and man-made.
They must drill deeper, and
therefore more expensive, holes
70 reach producing formations
holes deeper by far than the ma
tiJna' average
They must drill, through some
very hard rock which wears out
their equipment, and lengthens
drilling time, again hiking costs.
They must drill their wildcat"
or exploratory well knowing that
the odds against success are not
the national average of eight to
one, but more than 20 to one
for of the 1870 wildcat" wells
drilled to date in Mississippi, only
IS have been successfully COM
pleted as new field discoveries.
Scientific devices used in geo.
logical work to determine the
most likely place to drill have
been thwarted repeatedly by SUBJ
surface shale and gravel in Mis-
sissippi, throwing off calcula-
tons based on their successful
use in other areas and causing
more costly dry holes.
10 this list of costly and dis
couraging facts, add the oil and
gas industry's tax bill in Missis-
sppi. The Magnolia State, an oil
producer for only IA years and
now far back from production
giants Texas, California and
Louisiana, has put upon the
shoulders of its struggling oil and
gas industry the highest total tax
burden of any producing state.

Removing Rust Stains

You may be able to remove
the copper or rust stains from
screening on painted siding by
washing with a solution of half
cup of household ammonia in a
quart of water. The result will
depend on the kind of paint used.
Rinse the ammonia solution off
Immediately with plenty of clear
water as the solution may have
"a softening effect on the paint.
If the paint contains a chemi-
cal that resists the action of the
ammonia, the remedy is to re-
paint. You will need to try a
small inconspicious place first to
see what the reaction is.
There is not a real remedy for
removing screen stain from as
bestos siding. Prevention is the
best remedy - removing the
stain seems to create a worse
problem. q
