Rev. II. W. Bolts Sr., brought
US a very inspiring and spirit filled
message Sunday. November 8. His
subject was, But We Preach
Christ Crucified." scripture /. Cor

rem, by the name Of our Lord Jesus
Christ that ye speak the same
thing and that there be no divi-

Rev. Bolts said that the preach
ing Of Christ crucified for our sins
is the gospel, and the preaching of
the gospel is the only method by
which men are saved. for there is
no other name by which men can
be saved, other than the name OF
Jesus Christ our Savior.

BEYOND MARILYN: outside
of Miss Monroe's film, the
strikes effect upon show bust
ness is one for which the finan-
cial writers have always saved
the word "spotty."
AS one veteran cynic in the
trade explains this: 1T only goes
to show that entertainment al
ways has been and always will
be unpredictable."
Downtown, generally speak
ing, there has been a slump esti-
mated at from 10 to 80 per cent.
This is attributed directly to the
transit strike, and not to its
combination with the sudden,
protracted and excessive heat. AS
for heat, it can be and has been
q boon to show business.
AS between the neighborhood
houses and those down town, the
former have been approximately
at average. The customers OF
these are neighbors, close by ano

happens to be good. Precisely
illustrating the effect of the
transit paralysis as between the

Care of Cans and Bottles

A subscriber reports that they tack
burlap sack up on their kitchen porch
into which they drop all their tin cans,
bottles, and such things as family
collects over the winter and throws
out on a trash pile. When the sack is
full, the men take it out and put up an
other sack, then haul them all out at
once. This saves them from being scat
tered around the farm yard and having
to be picked up in the spring cleanup.
This is an Improvement, but we have
much better way of handling such
trash. We rinse all cans and bottles
as they are emptied, let them dry for
a few days in box or basket, then
mash the cans down flat and put them
into good sized container. break up
the bottles into another container, and
miscellaneous trash into a third This
takes only few minutes per week, and
a tub or an oil drum will hold the
smashed cans and bottles from the
average family for several months.
This smashed material will stay put
when used TO fill sink holes, washed
places, or even as filling under con-
crete feeding floors.
In fact, we have sold the smashed
cans to junk dealers who are equipped
to bale it, and there should be steady
market for it around the larger cities.

the field he generally kept his lip buttoned
except when he didn't like an umpire's call,
but tonight he was in a talking mood.
I'VE got the speed, we got little hitting,
we got infield and outfield," he said.
''Our pitching looks good - with you in
the bull pen. Your husbands been great"
he informed Ginny. Hes got pitch there
that Ty Cobb couldn't hit with a tennis
racket"
Barney must have had one too many at
the bar, Ed figured, and something told
him he should change the subject. But he
couldn't quite think fast enough. Fast
thinking wasn't Eds forte.
''And no umpire will ever spot what
you're doing, ether Barney added, drop

Ginny waited till they were alone; then,
after Barney had excused himself, she
turned quickly and demanded, ed, what
did he mean about the umpire?"
He had to tell her. Maybe it was because
her father was judge, but Ginny just
wasn't a girl you could put off. So he
came clean.
Her forehead wrinkled Isn't that ille-
gal?'' she asked.

Then you shouldn't do it, y she told him.
The argument continued till they fell
asleep that night, and next morning it
picked up again as they breakfasted in their
room.
Plenty of pitchers use illegal stuff. he
told her. Everybody knows it"
That doesn't make it all right, she said

'Yes, they would!' He was taken aback
at her vehemence. "Baseball's game!

body's cheating? Sports fans don't like
cheaters, don't care what you say!'

thinking, he threw his first pitch, slow
curve that didn't break much. II came
shooting back past his ear and Johnny
Harrington had to take it on one hop in
center.
The Yankees went for the bunt and
advanced the man on first. The batter was
out. But the tying run was now on second,
and the next man was dangerous. Ed
pitched carefully, keeping it low. At two
and two Sam Whitney peered meaningfully
at him through the mask. In their signal
pattern the initiative on the sneaker was
left to Ed; the sign was glance down at
his Shoe
Instead he came in with half-speed
pitch on the inside, and just caught the
corner; the hitter got hold Of it fairly we'll
but rammed it into the dirt down the third
base line and was out at first, while the
runner on second held.
Not that that mattered. A hit would
score him and nothing else would. Ed
wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked
around the field and stepped on the rubber.
He pitched too carefully this time, and
went to three and two. He could see what
Sam was thinking all right. And from the
corner of his eye, he could see Barney
Powers getting to his feet in the corner Of
the dugout. But Ed didn't look down at
his shoe.
Finally Sam signed for curve. Ed

robe, she stood perfectly straight, like
cadet, but with a certain touch of heroic
defiance.
One of the first things he had discovered
about her was that she was completely
incapable of assembling; she could never
even keep secret what she had bought him
for his birthday.
He recalled now that from the very first

Yanks were overdue to get some revenge.
Out in the bull pen, Ed Slade sat in an
angry daze. He had had trouble sleeping,
the first time that had ever happened in his
life. His big jaw clamped shut and his eyes
narrowed bitterly, he fought against his
thoughts and watched the game.
The Yankees were leading comfortably
in the bottom Of the eighth, five to two,
when the Sox got something going with
walk and two hits. A pinch hitter for the
pitcher /. and line drive banged into the
screen in right, clearing the bases, and tying
the score. With the stands in a frenzy, the

him home with perfect bunt.
