Tourney Administration

The tournament was ad-
ministered by chairman John
Werhas of Detroit; Joseph B.
Rady of Hammond, Ind, as
the tournament secretary;
and the four vice-chairmen,
William Ivoss of Gary, An

Thomas Rubinic, Jr., Of Chi

Just as the 1850 tourna-

their thoughts to Chicago in
1851, we hope that as many
of the tournament perennials
as can will wend their way to
Youngstown, Ohio, for the

Late Arthur Brisbane
Pegged Popularity Of
Bowling 81 Years Ago

MILWAUKEE, - The year
1922 seems a long way back
and you might wonder how
bowling was looked upon in
those days.
Here is an editorial written
by the late Arthur Brisbane
under the heading 400 Per
Cent Americans They
Watch and Stretch" It ap-
peared in the New York Her
aid Examiner in 1922.
"Polo Grounds, NY, Oct.
4 - What is pleasure? For
some millions Of Americans,
it is watching other men hit,
pitch, throw and run while
the crowd howls.
"1n Rome, 1000 years ago,
it was watching men with
swords fight each other, or
fight lions, while the crowd
also howled. In early Eng
land, it was bear batting and
badger drawing. In early
America, it was Puritanism
with witch hunting combined.
We have grown milder and
are content to roar while we'll
fed young men play a game
that does not hurt them.
"Not that the people,
perhaps, but their govern
ment, their accepted ideas,
are better. The great base
ball crowd would look a.
way from Babe Ruth to
watch two men fighting
with trident and net. And
look away from the fight
ing men to watch an old
lion fight a rhinoceros.
beginning of the seventh
inning. The $4,000 get up and
stretch, because that is what
is expected Of them. They
look around and sit down.
That is all the exercise they
get out of it. Eighteen men
exercise too hard and $4,000
don't exercise at all. That's
professional baseball. But it's
good for the club owners. If
the $4,000 were exercising,
they could not be sitting here.
"Only two more innings,
then this intellectual gather
ing of $4,000 mental athletes
will stretch once more and go
home. And not one will even
walk home.
"And some wonder and
want to know why the inter-
est in bowling is increasing
each year."

were sorely pressed by the
Chicago Progress Lodge Aces
who repeated as the runners
up, this time with a fine 2757

The year previous Progress

Golf Clinics
ForWomen

TICK STEDMAN, instructor at the Pinecrest Golf
- Club, near Annandale, Va, says there is no
reason why women should feel inferior on the golf
course While it Is true that most women don't get
the power in their shots that most men do, Dick
says if they learn few simple tricks, they can
stay alongside the best on the course. To help
out the girl golfers Dick has been holding series
Of golf clinics for women at PinecreSt. Dick says
that when the girls learn the forward press" and
how to snap their wrists" they'll have no reason
to fear the sneers of even the most ardent golfng
husband In these pictures, Dick shows beginners
how to become better golfers.

SOME THINGS ARE HARD TO UNDERSTAND.

In the Great Smoky Mountains of Western North Caro-:
lna Federal Government perhaps with state AID
has built mighty highway two which brings INTO the
region millions of tourists from all the Nation ana
golden of dollars for nearby business The National
Park Service which administers these highways proposes
now to put toll the using the argument that those
who use should share in the cost and upkeep
thereby easing the burden the taxpayers If there are go
ing be tolls anywhere there is merit in their argument
but we in principle opposed to tolls highways,
believing that pay sufficiently in the gasoline and tag
taxes. .
But what puzzles mostly in this connection, is that
the Governor the political big shots of North Carolina
hghheave that tolls these roads are
outrageous and crime against the people They have all
it Washington to protest to the Federal agen-
ces they seeking to circumvent such pro-
posed tolls Yet for years now this Governor
and some the politicians who object to tolls in Western
North Carolina have vigorously advocated tolls for us peo
pie down here Eastern North Carolina We not occas
fonal tourists from aar WHO year on scenic
holiday We live here the yearround and have to depend
every day roads in the struggle to make living
Outrageous" they say about tolls in the west but it's all
right to make people pay to Alligator River Oregon
Inlet any other waterway in part of the country
where bridges deemed to be economic necessity OF
the people.
This attitude is hard to understand other than that
many have been long content to be suckers and believe
anything folks tell us.

THE VALUE OF SMALL HARRoRs.

Every now and then some unexpected circumstances
point up sharply sometimes critically the Importance of
small harbors in the North Carolina Coasand Many
times have thought that heavy emphasis always
to be upon the value of larger ports but to mind
the thing go far and while expand all
in the development of superport many smaller
upon which many people depend allowed to die.
Take for instance the recent freezing weather when
boat transportation tied up and could not enter Halter
Harbor the only oil port serving villages with
1000 people and important Navy and Coast Guard nstaa
tons Freezing temperatures stepped up the consumption
of fuel oil in this day when the majority of homes oil
heated The islands bulk supplies of oil exhausted and
crises being faced Truck transports not allowed
the state ferries Fortunately oil got there in time by
exception being made to allow transport to over
Had Hatteras harbor been adequate in depth permit
ting ngress of larger ankers the island could maintain
much larger bulk stations for oil Likewise the growing fleet
of trawers which must harvest waters since
fishing has declined much in inland waters, could find
easy access, storage and markets when needed.
Truly, must not lose sight of the great economic
value of small ports In number of them properly look
ed after will be found mighty of strength and pow
er for progress, development and better living.

ANOTHER REASON WHY POSTAL DEFICIT
NOT lOGlCAI

The postal deficit will continue to run into many hun
dreds of millions of dollars year unless positive corrective
steps taken Two solutions commonly proposed One
is for increase letter postage The otheris revolution in
the mechanics and technques of mail and package hand
ling through attenuation This has been done in Euro
countries with notable in improving service
and reducing COSTS
It may well be that the final solution will require both
these steps-ore atomaton and higher rates. But
fact that practically all of the attention
to be given to the mail caegoriesrst second and third
class Little attention is being to the fourth class
egory, which is parcel post.
This is simply not logical and for two reasons. One
parcel post does pay its way and makes SUBJ
stanal contribution to the postoces taxpayerborne
nual deficits Second parcel post is basic postofce
function does not contribute to public entertainment
ucaton or enlightenment does the carrying of mail
newspapers and magazines 1t is, instead purely
cia function operating in direct competition with private
taxpng carriers of packages and freight Long before
parcel heard of these carriers did the efficient
fashion parcel post abolished tomorrow they'd pick
up the load.
So in considering postal reforms every activity the
department should be considered and evauatedparcel

LUNG CANCER KILLS
1882 IN FOUR YEARS
IN NORTH CAROLINA

Raleigh, March 20.-Cancer of
the lung is now the greatest can
cer-killer of North Carolina men,
according to five-year survey
released by DR.. Donald Koonce of
Wilmington, president of the North
Carolina Division of the American
Cancer Society.
The survey, showing 1852
deaths from lung cancer, was made
for the Society by the Department
of Vital Statistics of the N. C.
State Board of Health, and cover
ed the years, 1952-1956, period
which also saw the lung cancer toll
mount rapidly throughout the ma
ton, DR.. Koonce explained.
Deaths from all types of cancer
reached 1868.
In figures for both sexes, cancer
of the stomach was high on the
list of victims, claiming 1923 lives.
Leading causes of cancer deaths
among men, according to the sur
vey: Lung, Male organs, stomach,
intestines, pancreas. Among wom-
en-, the primary cancer-killers are:
Breast, cervix and other female or
gans, intestines, stomach, pancreas.
Five hundred North Carolina
children under Is years of age
were victims of cancer during the
survey period.
Cancer now kills more children
than any other disease" DIR.
Koonce observed. He noted that
leukemia was the most frequent
cause of cancer death in children,
with malignancies of the brain d
second.
DR.. Koonce referred to the 5O7
deaths from cancer of the skin as
"a sad commentary on our alert
ness. Cancer of the skin can be
easily cured in 95 per cent of the
cases.
The figures showed that the
highest percentage Of fatal cancers
occur in the As to IS years age
group, with the most critical years
being IS to 70. However, there
were 1000 deaths under 40 years
of age.

BIDS INVITED TO
BUILD BREAKWATER
HATTERAS HARBOR

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. are taking
shape here to build a protective
fender system through the rock
breakwater at Hatteras.
An announcement by the Corps
of Engineers District Engineer,
Col. H. C. Rowland, Jr., said an
invitation for bids is scheduled to
be issued March 20 with the open
ing of bids to follow on April 16.
Based on this schedule, construc-
ton will begin within 80 days of
the opening and completed in so
days.
Plans call for pile and timber
fender on each side of the entrance
channel through the breakwater to
act as a protective buffer for
boats.
When the breakwater was COM
pleted two years ago single pill
ing on each side of the entrance
was provided as marker. Subse-
quently, it was noted that boats
might be driven onto the rocks in
rough weather with resulting dam
age and possible loss of life. The
tenders are a means of removing
this hazard to safe navigation.
Meanwhile, Colonel Rowland
said the opening of bids for grass
ing the dixie in the Tadmore Sec
ton in Pasquotank County has
been changed from March 20 to
March 25.

WHEN FUR PRICES RISE,
A FORTUNE IN MUSKRATS
FOR HATTERAS ISLAM D

Ephraim O'Neal, a well known
Hatteras fisherman is much in
trigued with a report on the num-
Der of Nutria or Russian rats re-
ported on Hatteras Island, and
which heretofore have been
considered of little value. He
says quotations have come this
week showing these furs quot
ed at SIS to $35 each. Now
he says is the time to make
money. "It being estimated are
10000 to 10000 of these animals
loose on the island, and take an
average price of $40 per fur, TO-
900 of them would bring in $780,
000," he says. "Looks like we will
do well to keep the little devils
for future income"
Mr.. O'Neal is much concerned
about the probability of calling
striped bass game fish, which
might prove great injustice, since
there are so few records of any
of them responding to the lure of
surfcasters. 1t was reported last
week that a Norfolk man had
caught two of them at Kill Devil
Hills. "The only other time l recall
any of them caught on the hook
was the report of Raymond Bas-
nett of Buxton that he had landed
four of them. Since our CONNER
cial fishing crews have made as
much as $4,000 from catches of
these fish along the ocean side in
a season from November to April,
it is more important to let home
folks have them in order to make
a living.
Regarding the Russian rats, Mr..
O'Neal recalls his brother Amos
shipped away the fur from one
some years ago, and couldn't get
anything for it. But now quotations
are rumored around Hatteras run
ming up to $35 each.
