the walls with one here and
there, they completely cover
every inch of the walls and over
head. They are fitted together
perfectly, much like tile on a
floor and the pictures and frames
actually form the interior CELL
ing.
couldn't help but ponder the
tremendous cost involved in
such a hobby. The frames alone
certainly cost into the thousands
OF dollars. The pictures not only
cost money themselves but the
postage and handling is conse-
quential. And then there was
considerable labor involved in
fitting them into the walls so
neatly.
Mr.. Breise did not venture
any approximate cost of his
hooby but obviously there was
right huge sum of dough in
volved.

PLAIN TALK:
Little Leaguers
Have Faith In God
PLAIN TALK:
BY AL HARRISON

One of the things missed by
youngsters in our community is
the opportunity to participate in
Little League baseball games. We
hope that next year some capa-
BILE person will initiate a move
to form a league.
In Houston, Texas there are
teams formed throughout the
city and each night the young
sters are getting the thrill of a
lifetime. The thrills are not re-
stricted to the participants as
parents watch with worried ex-
preSSions on their faces-each
hoping his son will do no wrong
and will contribute his share to
the team effort.
My youngest sister recently
visited with me and related the
following story about her l3-
year-old son, Charles Thomas.
1t was one Of the most import
ant games in his early career as
a Little League pitcher and his
reputation as the leading pitcher
IN the entire league was at stake.
With his mates in the lead by
one run in the bottom half of the
ninth, he was having difficulty
IN getting the ball across the
plate. Bases were loaded, two
outs and the opponents heaviest
hitter standing at the plate.
The young pitcher wiped the
dirt from his face with a quick
sweep of his sleeve, faced the
batter, hesitated and tossed a
perfect strike that left the batter
staring in disbelief.
A roar from the spectators
brought a smile to the lads face
as he threw his glove behind the
mound and walked to the bench.
His teammates pounded him on

the back and shouted mice
game" You really showed
Them" and other complimentary
phrases. A million dollars
wouldn't have bought the hap
piness reflected in his expression.
His mother moved from the
stands and placed her arm a
round her sons shoulders. One
could tell by looking at her that
she had undergone a few anxi-
Gus moments during the latter
stages of the game.
You pitched wonderful
game, son." she said to her son
as she placed her arm around
his shoulder. Did you think you
would win when things looked
so bleak?"
II didn't know for sure but
each time before 1 threw to
the batter. asked God to help
me Just a little Bit" SMILED
the little leagure with a major
league heart
Another little Lacquer had
read that famous baseball
player always said brief prayer
before taking his turn at bat.
Soon after reading this story, the
small boy Joined the church.
Being very weak hitter, he
was confronted with the ordeal
of taking his turn at bat one
night when the bases were load
ed and his team two runs behind.
Much to everyone's surprise,
he raped out solid double and
drove home the winning runs.
1T was that little prayer
said before went to bat that
did 1t for me-" he told his mother
as they walked home after the
game.

Unique Cabin

carried me down to the Cape
Fear River where he has a most
unique three room cabin.
l couldn't imagine what he
wanted to show me until he I'M
locked the door and then without
his saying word. 1t became per-
fectly obvious.
The entire three rooms are
completely sealed, both the four
walls and the overhead, with
eight by ten pictures in black
frames. More than 5000 pictures
covered the walls and ceilings
and they aren't just dime store
canned pictures either. Each pic
ture is personally autographed
TO Mr.. Breise and all of the 5000
people pictured are celebrities.

the rest are names of similar

This is $4,000 above the requirement for
delivery service.
Should the authorities approve the
application for delivery service, it would
most likely create another job or two at
the Post Office. We feel that any move
creating more jobs is certainly worthy of
favorable comment; however, the main
objective is to provide the citizens of
Tabor City with another service
1t will probably be several months
before any definite official action is taken
on the matter but we are inclined to take
pride in the move even if it fails to mater
ialize. We are proud that the Jaycees
are wide-awake and constantly seeking
projects that will make Tabor City better
place in which to live

A comedian made his opening
night appearance, fortified by the
fermented juices of the night
blooming tomato. Faster than
you can say Shostakovitch beat
Prokofieff at pinochle, he singled
out an innocent member of the
audience as the butt of his mall
adjusted jibes. Good naturedly,
the smiling patron accepted the
sharp barbs without apparent of
Tense. The comedian continued to
give it the old body English but
the childishly shy patron stood
his ground and never once lost
his serenity. Next day, the come
dams newspaper reviews includ-
ed one which whitfield him down
to a skeleton and raked him
about like walnut shell in mid
ocean. What the comedian didn't
know-that he had stepped on
the business end Of a rake. His
opening night victim was the
towns leading newspaper drama
critic!

A major soap company purch-

inc to scrub its terrace. With
split-second timing, a dozen eld-
erly men, who still manage to
retain a zeSt for favorable living,
answered the call for Sidewalk
Generals and Curbstone Super

with barrage OF burning queS-

With an instructive feeling of

at a dog Sinking down the aisle
on its belly and growing omin-

its shadowy quarry above. Quick
ly, an alert publicity man nabbed
the intruder by the scruff of the
neck, abruptly swapping the spell
OF Its deep and brooding resent

warm and affectionate laughter
as the animal was tenderly car
rled out whereupon the audience
returned to to its filmfare as if
nothing had happened.

Police Chief Earl Langdon has
asked you to accompany him on:
this case, and you watch as he
probes into the back of the heavily
upholstered sofa until finally he
,traightens up with AS bullet in
his hand.
"This is it," he says, "the bullet
that killed him.
You look down at the body of
Edward wainwright, wealthy insur-
ance man and sportsman, lying on
the floor in front of the sofa in his
luxurious summer home. You see
where the bullet Travelled through
his neck. Then, one of Chief Lang
don's men brings in the only wit
ness to the crime, Jack Winters.
manager of Wainright's stable of
horses.
81 don't know why your men are
holding me this way" he exclaims
resentfully. "Just like was gull

L? And you fuOnd the gun lying on
the ground outside the window,
didn't yOu?" And he points to the
handkerchief-wrapped gun Chief
LangdOn has laid on the table.
Suppose you tell us your story
aagin," you prompt him.
"Well, like 1 said, Mr.. wainwright
and 1 were out early this morning
exercising a couple of the horses.
When he returned to the house, he
invited me in to have drink with
him. He plunked himself down on
that sofa there and asked me to
mix the drinks. went into the
kitchen for SOME ice cubes, and
when came back into the room,
Mr.. wainwright was standing in
front of the sofa fumbling in his
coat pockets. He was just pulling
his pipe out when l heard the shot,
and he fell to the floor. 1 glanced
quickly over toward the window
just in time to see the top of a
mans hat disappear. ran over to
the window and looked out, but
there was no sign of him. Then
ran back to Mr.. Wairight and saw
right away that he was dead. Then
l hurried out the front door and
