Washington's Eddie Bowers

Bowers. the District junior

Best golf among the early
winners was played by Dave
Leon of Tucson, Ariz., who was
only one over par for 16 holes

1t was a tough defeat for

CLEVELAND, July 1.-THE
Senators desperate dip into the
deep minors for acutely needed
pitching aid isn't paying off.
Jim Heise promoted from the
Southwestern League; is pitch

was until three weeks ago.
When Heise was advanced

Lavagatto admittedly is dis

The West Virginia U. gradu-

his debut. He yielded only two
runs-one of which was tainted
before sagging. Since then
there has been no similar
heartening performance, even
for a brief spell, and Lavagetto
is doubtful that Jim'S fast ball
is swift enough to get by.
No. IL for Wynn
Heise was cuffed around for
four runs. four hits, permitted
four walks and baked in a

the Indians last night as the

notched his 18th win. the

Lavagetto'S pitching is in a

law of the land and that it should
be stopped at once. But try as they
would Federal agents never quite
succeeded in stamping out the il
legal liquor industry at and near
East Lake.
And then came the Great De-
preston and many an East Lake
liquor maker turned to the WPA
and other government relief agen-
cies for a livelihood, particularly
after the prohibition law was re-
pealed. East Lake became the cap
itol of a fallen empire where whis-
key distilleries were known no
more.
And now East Lake is easily
accessible to motorists from all
over the United States. Where a

day and night. Before government
enforcement officers could enter
the creek East Lakes grapevine
telegraph had carried the news of
their approach to every still owner
along Mill Tail Creek and the
operators took to cover. Prohibi-
ton officers wrecked many still
but seldom caught an operator. A
few days later a new still would
be going full blast near the wreck
age of the old.
The prohibition officers might
have paid less attention to East
Lakers and their illicit distilleries
had word not reached Washington
that East Lake bootleggers were
flying United States flags from
their stills, calling their operators
to work with steam whistles, and
putting fancy bottles in bond
labels on their product which was
being served at cocktail parties in
governmental circles in the Ma
TONS capitol.
National headquarters for the
enforcement of the prohibition
law in Washington insisted that
this was brazen contempt for the

pany acquired many thousands OF
acres of East Lake timberland,
built a logging camp and COM
missary; brought in skidding ma
chinery and employed many East
Lakers at good wages. With money
to spend and tales of what it
would buy in the great outside
world their standards of living be-
gan to rise. They bought store
furniture for their homes, i'm
proved their houses, dressed up
and sent their children out of the
woods into schools.
And then the big lumber COM
pany cut off the best of the tim
Der, removed it's logging machin-
cry, abandoned its logging camps,
cut off the payroll and East Lake
was in a bad fix. After having
been introduced to a higher stand
ard of living, and having learned
to appreciate and demand some of
the comforts of life, they soon
realized these things could not be
acquired by hunting, fishing and
trapping. And agriculture was out
of the question. Farmers on high
and dry land were having hard
enough time of it.
But, coincidental with the pass
ing of the logging camp and its
payroll in East Lake came the
National Prohibition Law. The
manufacture of pure corn whiskey
was well-known by many an old
timer over at East Lake. The for
mula had been passed down from
father to son through countless
generations. So to the manufacture
of corn liquor, great demand for
which was soon evident in the
outside world, many of them turn
ed. And it wasn't long before East
Lake was supplying ardent spirits
to a dozen Northeastern North
Carolina counties, cities and towns
in Tidewater Virginia where in
turn it was distributed to North
ern cities such as Baltimore, Phil
adelphia, Washington and New
York City.
In the almost impenetrable fast
ness of East Lake larger and
larger distilleries were erected to
the despair of many a Federal pro-
hibition law enforcement agent.
There was only one way to enter
the heart of East Lake where the
illicit liquor industry was centered.
And that was by way of tor
turous and narrow creek which the
moonshiners kept we'll guarded

East Lake.-For a good many

over on the Dare County beaches
were boasting of their fresh air
and sunshine and there weren't
three dozen summer cottages and
hotels all the way between Kitty
Hawk Coast Guard Station and
Neva Midgett's Whalebone filling
station, this little village hidden
away on the mainland was far
more famous for it's moonshine.
That was back in the days of
the 18th Amendment to the Con-
stitution of the United States bet
ter known as the National Prohi-
bition Law when illicit liquor dis
titled far back in the almost i'm

wherever polite society gathered

law-abiding little community would

Perhaps some enterprising per-

one ever thought of going there
unless he had some very important
business or went for bear or deer
hunting. Located on the inundated
lowlands of the Dare County main
