Shaw's own Jack Dreifort

Kent in the hallowed halls of
Hollywood. Producers Theater

allowing him his own name,
which is not near as colorless
as the pseudonym "Jim Kent. F"
His acting career has taken a
turn from the West Coast to
the light stage on the East

Perhaps the safest bet in
sports is that the grinning
truce between the general man.
ager and his dugout chief will
not survive the two seasons OF
that contract Lane so astonish-
ingly gave Gordon last fall, less
than "a hours after he had ac-
cepted Joe's resignation.
My guess is that the bomb
will burst this year-unless the
Indians win the pennant. A
close second might clip the sput-
tering fuse, but Gordon can't
rely on this. He was a reason
ably close second in 1859, but
to save his job he needed one of
the most incredible reversals in
the history of the game.
Only Salary Certain
Incidentally, Gordon's contract
means only that he is sure of
two years salary, not of two
years employment by the In
dians. If the owners wanted to
make a change, they wouldn't
hesitate to pay Joe for not work
ing. His annual income is less
than one good days receipts.
In fact, | stop just short of
wondering if another mess like
last years wouldn't tempt the
clubs directors to get rid of
both executives. / stop short be-
cause no shareholders ever have
been known to walk away from
money-and Lane makes money
for the owners almost as fast as
the US. mint could make it.
On this threshold of a new
season-and at this beginning
of a brand new personal career
| take no sides between the
loud-speaking general manager
and his unorthodox bench boss.
But | think all of us should
be mature in our study of the
situation. Last year too many
of US reacted emotionally. Too
many of US made a martyr of
the manager.
Looks Like Martyr
1t was difficult to do other
wise. The balding Gordon even
looks the part. Lanes criticism
would have been poor taste in
any circumstances. 1t was un-
pardonable while Joe was fight
ing for the pennant. An official
in any field owes at least the
loyalty of silence to the men
who work for him.
Lane failed in this respect
and the fans let him know which
of the combatants had their
sympathy. They swarmed into
Gordon's corner. Lane lost face,
not only in Cleveland, but ma

TchuIo Scores
In Merit Program

Tchula has scored itself in
the ten general categories of
development, and is now Of
ficially entered in the Missis-
sippi Merit Community Pro-
gram, according to informa-
ton received from headquar-
ters of the program.
The Tchula entry is being
sponsored by the Tchula Mer-
chants Association.
Don Colmer, Hattiesburg,
chairman of the statewide To-
cal self-improvement project,
said the community is now
ready to claim the attractive
Merit Award Plaque in the cate
gories in which 1t meets pre-
determined standards. Inspec-
tons are made before plaques
are awarded. In addition, an
attractive two-color sign has
been shipped to the Tchula
group for erection at a promi-
nent downtown location.
Mrs. Everarde Jones, gen.
eral chairman of the program,
said committees have been as
signed to carry out projects to
improve the towns standings
in phases selected for first at
tention.

give their support to this

man said. at Is going to take

reached"
He complimented those
working to score the commu-
nifty in the ten general classi-
fications of: Identification, ed
ucation, fire protection, health
and sanitation, housing and
construction, long range plan
ming municipal finance, police
and traffic, recreation, and
streets.
High And Low Scores
Tchula scored highest In the
category of Municipal Finance.
The scoring committee said
the minimum qualifying score
in the category is 720 points,
while this community scored
705 points.
The lowest score was in the
category of Long Range Plan
ming. The minimum qualifying
score in the category is $50
points, with the local commu-
nifty scoring only 20 points.
1--WE will be foolish not to
recognize our weak points"
the chairman said. "The real
value Of this program Is pin
pointing our weaknesses and
striving to improve them"

dent to acknowledge his
Christmas Seal letter. AS a
matter of fact, we are count
ing on those delayed returns
to meet our goal. The 1861
program of the Holmes Coun-
ty tuberculosis Association
and its palms for the necessary
expansion of It's tuberculosis
control projects depend on our
meeting this goal.
"Our campaign for funds Is
conducted during the Christ
mas season, but the work OF
the association is not limited
to one season. It goes on IL
months of the year" Mrs.
Hamberlin continued.

Although Holmes County is

CHRISTMAS

AS his Dfrtnday approaches
l can't help but wonder what
Christ thinks as He looks
down on this wicked sin
cursed world. Nation hating
nation and each trying to
make the most destructive
malhines of war. Discord,
crime, and greed rampant!
l pray that He will inter-
cede for us, as He did on
Calvary "Farner forgive
them, for they, know not what
they do"
You have heard this story
over and over again but it
never grows old, the story of
the birth of the Christ Child.
1t has been told many, many
times. The telling of this has
brought the truth and the
light to untold millions. And
that is the way, and the only
way, to keep the truth alive.
Tell it over and over again!
For those who would desre-
gard traditions, the great
deeds of men who built this
Republic of the United States
Of America have forgotten
that the story of the birth of
our Lord has been kept alive
by those who believe in tradi-
ton.
Those who cry out for
change have forgotten there
is no change in the greatest
story ever told. Fundamental
truths never change. There
are those who would change
our laws, our social custom,
our moral codes, religious be-
liefs, family responsibilities,
our entire governmental sys-
tenn over night. Hold On to
1our traditions.
The spirit of Christmas will
always remain unchanged.
'ond memories of the ole
ks go back to the days Of
our childhood, to the stockings
ng around the fireplace the
Apply family gatherings, and
he heavily laden table with
turkey ans all the trim
mings.
Few are the sinners who
re not softened at the
Christmas season. Poor and
Impoverished Is the mind that
oes not open the thoughts
of Immortality. You cannot
take Christmas out of the
hearts Of the world.
Christmas still remains the
most wonderful day of the
year. 1t has been a time of
tradition since the "Shep-
herds abiding in the field,
keeping watch over their
flock by night, saw the angel
of the Lord and the glory
that shone above him and
were so afraid"
/ But the angel said unto
them, "Fear not" for behold
I bring you good tidings of
great joy. "For unto you is

been accompanied BY brief let
tiers of explanation. For exam
pie, one donor wrote, Il re-
greet this delay, but I am con-
soled by the fact that your
association works the year
round, not just during the
Christmas season"
Delayed returns, with or
without explanation" are still
welcome, she stressed. I'VE

Cold Sore Virus
Can Blind Babies,
Specialist Says

LONDON, July 26 ,(AP).-
Queen Elizabeth's eye specialist

a mother may blind her baby.
There seems little doubt, ="
Sir Stewart Duke Elder wrote,
that the herpes virus is,
among external eye infections,
the most common cause of
damage to the sight today in
Britain"
The herpes virus causes cold
sores, mainly on the lips, and

don clinics new medical jour-
nal, that children with her
petic infections of the eye US

kissed by herpes carriers.
