Shamrocks Take Lead
In The Softball League

The three-way tie for first place
in the indoor softball league was
broken last Friday evening as the
High School Nanooks lost to the
highly improved Air Force Jets
IL to 8 in the first game, and the
ACS Shamrocks stung the Polar
Hornets Is to u in the night cap
The Jets blasted off to an early
lead and held it all the way as
Pitman and Louis went the route
for the winners. Corky Kost and
Don Miller formed the Nanook
battery.
The Shamrock Hornet game
was a battle royal that was tied
twice and went into extra in
nings. Frank Debusk pitched for
the Hornets and Arne Castell was
catcher. Debusk showed plenty of
speed and hurled a good game
until the top of the final inning
when the big green bats of the
Shamrocks exploded for six runs.
The Arctic Flash, Norm Atuk,
displayed his usual cool control
for the ACS and Maj. Siegwart
switched from first base to the
catcher's slot.
The next action is slated for
Friday evening, April 20, when
the Hornets meet the Jets in the
first game and the Shamrocks
tangle with the Nanooks in the
night-cap
Here are the standings to date:

Because their husbands will

two Governors wives at oppo-
site sides of the country are
momentarily in the news.
One is a sleek, photogenic
young blond, Mrs. Frank

The other is slim. reserved,

second round-the high cost
of food. But does he-and by
what standards? The plain
fact is that the American
family. including the city
dweller. spends a far smaller
proportion of its income for
food that does any other fam
lily in the world. despite the
fact that the food they eat
both in caloric and protein
content (proteins being the
most expensive) is far above
the level of even the most
highly developed countries.
You have to make a thorough
investigation of income and
market prices elsewhere to
realize how remarkably cheap
American food Is, in many
cases not only relatively-in
relation to income-but abb
Solutely.
This is made possible by the
extraordinary advances in
agricultural science and tech
nology. But, again, the main
tenance of land in high state
of production requires large
and continual capital invest
ment. Fields can be kept in
crops year after year, If every
thing taken from the soil

is returned to 1t annually, &C
cording to soil tests. This, how
ever, is costly. Not counting
labor and barnyard fertilizer,

when carefully and skillfully
handled. is prodigious. BY and

venson that passion seems to be
rising so rapidly. A few weeks
ago he was convinced that the
moderates on both sides we're
in control, that neither anxious
Negro leaders nor discredited
Dixiecrats would be able to see
the headlines.
He is particularly distressed
that Virginia should have
joined "interposition" forces
and lent her prestige to that
movement. He is surprised that
some Negro leaders whose trust
he thought he enjoyed should
now be distrustful.
Stevenson is not so detached
personally as his calm utter

some politicians. He vigorously
battles in private against what
he thinks of as expediency or
ignorance.

truly the supreme organ" but
because its secretary who lacks
Stains personality decided
that it would serve his best
interests to represent it as
such.
