Continued From rage Vne
the ghost.
The daily propaganda
from Boston baseball
scibes keeps telling how
wonderful things are GO
ing to be when the Red
Sox hitters emerge from
their slump.
II slump is what they
are suffering from, which
we doubt, they better
snap out of it soon, or
thereIl be no pitchers
around to play with them.
Figures released last week
reveal a very discouraging
picture so far as Red Sox
pitching is concerned.
To date, II Red Sox pitchers
have given up 800 hits N
321 innings.
That's an average of close
to nine runs a game, and
pardon us for saying that
this pitching performance
plus a lot of 200 hitterS, is
not conducive toward max
ing Tom Yawkey anxious to
remain in Boston.
Drastic decisions must be
made in the Red Sox set
up soon, and we've got a
bunch that General Manager
Joe Cronin is just about
ready to make them.
There never was, or will
be, a nicer guy than Cronin
He's an easy going chap, who
bends over backwards to ac-
cept excuses and hope for
better things to come.
But his experience in
in baseball has unques-
tionably warned him by
now that drastic changes
must be made in his or
ganizatiOn if the Red Sox
are not to become the
rubber mat of the Ameri-
can League.
CrOnin must know by
now that his exploited
rockies are just run-of-
the-miII ball players.
Word has travelled fast
around the league that
the 0lsOnS and Throne
berry and Piersalls and
BOllings and Zauchins and
LepciOs and even our
favOrite Gene Stephens
couldn't hit a curve ball
If you threw it at them
straight.
When the ninth inning was
over at Baltimore the other
night they had scored one
run in something like 81 in
nings, and this was only one
of many similar faInines they |
have suffered from this year
This Red Sox team holds
dancing in the clubhouse any
day they leave less than ten
men on the bases.
Their weakness is so pro-
and taken for grant
ed that Manager Lopez of
Cleveland instructed his fast
bali artist Herb Score to sex
pertinent" with his curve when
he faced the Sox ten days
ago.
This must have been deep
ly humiliating to men like
Yawkey and Cronin who, in
past years have given New
fans the greatest
smuggling teams of baseball
history.

Warm Weather Signals
Bread" For The Bees

If the coming of warm weather
made you happy, think how 1t
must have made the honey bee
feel. w. A. Stephen, extension bee
keeper at State College, says this
suitable weather for bees to OBJ
tain pollen after a long, hard win
ter, was hailed by college bees
with great alacrity."
Saturday, February 10, was the
first day when the bees could OBJ
tain pollen in any quantity.
Although mere humans wonder
ed what plants were blooming, the
bees had already found them and
during the ensuing two warn? DAYS,
collected a good deal of tbs bee
bread, Stephen said.
He pointed out that quite liter
ally, pollen is the bread of life"
for bees. Without it the nurse bees
are unable to feed the young lar
vac or grubs in their cells, and the
young bees. after Matching, do not
have the supply of food necessary
for their proper development.
Some people believe that nature
provides necessities in accordance
with future needs of her children.
If this is so, spring will be late he-
cause colonies of honevbees will
not be ready for an early honey
flow, according to Stephen.

If you want to be sure of get
ting your rights, make sure you
don't overlook your duties. Joseph
P. Walsh, manager of the Gas
tonia social security, passed this
advice along today, for the in
formation of people coming un-
der social security for the first
time.
This applies to farmers, hir-
ed farm workers, architects, ac-
countants, engineers, funeral
directors, domestic workers and
others newly covered by the
social security law. 'If you
were brought under social Sc
curity by the 1854 amendments,
you should find out, first of all
just what this means to you
and your family" MIR. Walsh
said.
Many people think of social
security as something exclusive
ly for old folks-people over 65.
Of course, it is important to
folks when they retire, but it
may be even of greater import
ance to the family of a young
married man should he die leav-
ing a young widow and little
children. Many people do not rea-
lize that the social security law
provides monthly payments for
certain dependents in case of the
death of the family breadwinner,
as well as monthly payments if
he retires after reaching 65. Many
people past IS do not realize that
the payments can start at age II
even though they have not retired.
And many who know the types
of benefits that can be paid, have
no idea of the amounts payable.
PROTECT YOUR RIGHTS
Your second duty is to make
sure you do enough to protect
your rights under social security.
If you are an employee, you are
not doing all that you should to
protect your rights unless you
have a social security account
number card, have shown it to
your family and told them about
social security. have shown it to
your employer and made sure he
copied your name and number
correctly, and finally, checked
your social security record at
least every four years to be sure
that it is correct.
If you are self employed, your
duties are similar. You, too, must
obtain a social security card be-
fore your first social security
self employment tax return is cue.
You must keep business records
during 1855, that will enable you
to file an accurate social secur-
ity tax return for the year.
Finally, you must file such a
tax return and pay the social Sc
curity tax. If your first year OF
coverage is 1855, your first re-
turn is filed in 1856. "r

Business Looks
Pretty Good Says
Reserve Bank

The Federal Reserve Bank of
Richmond has made its regular
close inspection of business con-
ditions in the CarolinaS, and says
things look pretty good.
During January. latest month
covered in the report, there were
siZeable gains over the sam e
month last year in department
store sales, furniture sales and
bank debts. Building permit to-
tails were up some places, down
others.
AS the banks monthly review
summed it up, "Exuberance con-
tinueS to be the general feeling
among most of the business COM
munity (although) important
SegmentS of the district economy
did not maintain December's rapid
pace and some of the edge has
been taken off the pleasant re-
covery in the textile industry"
Automobile dealers of the Fifth
Federal Reserve District, the bank
reported "are an ebullient lot. "
(Ebullient: boiling up or over -.
manifeSting eXhilaration or excite
ment). This despite scattered evi-
dence that retail sales in January
did not match the rapid pace of
December.
Manufacturing activity in Vir-
ginia and the CarolinaS in January
was well above year ago. in both
durable and nondurable goods
The level. however, was somewhat
less than in December.
No startling changes occurred in
industries with the exception of
tobacco manufacturing. the report
added. Man-hours in Virginia and
North Carolina during January de-
clined 13 per cent from December
but still were 81 per cent ahead
of January. 1854.
Small gains from December to
January were shown in yarn and
thread mills of the Carolinas, and
in North Carolina apparel indus
tries. The paper industry gained in
Virginia during the month but
losses were recorded in the Caro-
linaS.
Manufacturing employment in
all states of the district (the Car
olinas. Virginia, Maryland, West
Virginia and the District of Co.
lumbia) during December was l
per cent below November and 3
per cent below December. 1858.
A further decline of l per cent
occurred from December to Janu-
ary in North Carolina, while the
level of employment held about
even in South Carolina.
Department store sales in North
Carolina showed an increase of IA
per cent over the month a year
ago. Furniture sales we're up 10
PER cent.

FRUITS BERRIES

Small fruits and berries should
have a place in every home gar
den because they adapt themselves
to the usual methods of garden
culture and they come into pro-
ductiOn so soon after planting Of
these the deWberry is one of the
easiest to grow 1t will succeed on
any type of soil and, although it
responds to fertilization, does not
require a great deal of care along
that line. Plants may still be set
in most parts of the state. The
usual planting distances are five
feet apart in the row with rows
five to eight feet apart. For gar
den culture deWberrieS are gener-
ally trained to stakes which are
five to six feet high. TWenty-five
plants should supply the average
family with all the berries they
will need for fresh fruit and for
freezing or canning. Plants set
now will produce a full crop of
berries in June of 1856
The red-frulted varieties such
as Youngberry, Boysenberry and
Lavacaberry are generally recon-
mended for home garden planting.
Under our conditions the Boysen-
berry appears to be somewhat
larger than the others. These are
claimed to be and now are gener-
ally accepted as hybrids between
a dewberry species and the red
raspberry. They have a raspberry
flavor and are of exceptionally
high dessert quality when allowed
to become fully ripe. However
when ripe they are quite soft and
cannot be shipped or kept for any
length of time, but must be eaten
or processed without delay.
ThornlesS strains of these may
be obtained and are recommended
