Dodgers
Worry About
Their Decline

Brooklyn. N. " CCNs) AS the
National League Champions wing
ed their way back to the states,
there was much speculation as to
what had happened TO the team
over the winter. Losing four in
Japan with one a draw and win
ming fourteen is said 10 be the
worse record Of an American team.
japanese thought they had the
clue on the Dodgers decline when
they commented: "The Yankees
would always try for an extra
base on a hit. Some Of the Dod-
ger runners stopped dead" An
other thought: when the Dodgers
hit, they hit all together. When
they are cold, nobody can hit"
Even the usual ever confident
Buzzy Bavasi seemed worried as
the team departed. AS to next
years chances of winning, Bavasi
prefixed every statement with 'If
CampanelIa hits go more points
has a normal year, not great
one, If campanella's operation
turns out all right. -" A lot de-

Anderson
Gives Boost
TO TB Sales

Nebraska's Governor Victor An
derson has offered congratulations
to the Nebraska tuberculosis AS
sociation and its affiliates in each
county on the occasion Of the
fiftieth annual Christmas Seal
Sale.
Fighting TB through purchases
Of Christmas Seals has become
tradition worthy of this most
traditional season" Governor An
derson said. Its true that in
our nation more than seven mil
lion lives have been saved from
TB in this half century, but the
battle must not let up"
In urging Nebraskans to contri-
butte, the Governor pointed out
that while it is our purpose to
make Nebraska better place to
live and work and raise our fam
lilies, disease with its physical and
emotional suffering and economic
loss is a constant enemy of our
citizens.
"a new case of tuberculosis is
reported every fifth minute, and
every twenty-ninth minute one
life is taken by this insidious kill
er in the United States alone"
Governor Anderson quoted. He
explained that each county tuber-
culosis organization in Nebraska is
voluntary group of public-spirit-
ed citizens devoted to the task of
educating for health, finding ac-
tive cases of tuberculosis, nursing
activities and other related SER
vices.
"The success or failure of tuber-
culosis control in Nebraska de-
pends entirely upon us" he said.
"Since 81 per cent of the funds
raised in our state will be used
right here at home, l am sure
our people will contribute gener-
ously to this years campaign"

dam at Aswan and agreed to
accept help instead from the
