Dear Sir:
Since when does the life of
a duck mean more than the
welfare of a person2 Since when
do we put pleasure before bust =
ness and the welfare of a state?
If we should come to this sad
state of affairs, | feel that we,
as a state, will go down the
drain and be forgotten. for
one would not like to see this
happen. | intend to do what
ever | can to prevent it from
happening.
1t seems there is a movement
on foot to make a national park
out of a place that has been
known for years as 'Mosquito
Heaven. | have never heard
of anything so ridiculous in my
life. We don't need ducks in
order to make progress, but we
do need industry. We need the
work it will provide and, above
all, we need the taxes they will
pay. Every year taxes are in
creased in one way or another.
Every year more schools are
needed to provide for the ever
growing population. Where does
the money come from2 Higher
taxes, higher cost of gasoline
and anything else that a tax
can be put on.
The people of Delaware are
not play boys or play girls; they
have little time for such lux
uries. Their one and only con-
Germ is the security of their
families. Ducks be damnedl
You are so concerned about
the feeding grounds for ducks.
For what are they being fed?--
so that some hunter can kill
them2 Is this supposed to make
the ducks happy2 They aren't
gaining anything; they die one
way or another, so where is
your argument2 All hunters
aren't the good shots they think
they are, and many a duck dies
a lingering death from a trig-
ger-happy hunter. Not only
ducks but deer and other forms
of wild life.
If everyone believed as you
people do, this country would
still be a wilderness. I'm quite
sure the American Indian would

Guests Were Impressed
Her friend, Lois, shared ideas
with her and the beginning of
their book came when Lois
gathered so of the best recipes
as bridal shower gift. Mean
while, the pair entertained in
dependently, and they got rave
notices.
At the urging of satisfied
guests, they put their heads to-
gether and came up with a col
lection of recipes, accumulated
over a four-year period from
family and friends and done
over to suit their purposes.

cutting stencils in Chevy Chase
View and Lois running them
off on hand-operated mimeo-
graph machine in her chilly
Connecticut basement. They
completed $50 copies and were
sold-out in two weeks. This was
March, 1860.
The next 500 copies were re-
produced on an electric mimeo-
graph machine when Marian
went up to Connecticut in June.

within several months.
The decision to make it 1000
copies in November was a brave
one, but not foolish. They sold
out and went on to find a pub

BE Prepared Their Motto
The foreword to the cook book
explains their philosophy this
way: "The foods you serve
need not be over-simplified to
be EASY. The ease comes at

Senators Moy Be Last,
But Oh, Those Pitchers
BY MERRILL wHITTLEsEY

Joe McClain, Burnside and Osteen as the
starters, with Stenhouse a possibility as
the fifth man.
But after his opening victory over the
Tigers Daniels came up with a sore elbow.
He now has lost seven straight.
Daniels and McClain were the most
impressive pitchers in spring training, but
all Of a sudden McClain couldn't get any
body out.
Burnside turned in complete games in
five of his first nine starts, career high,
but in his last two outings he has lasted
a total Of only 21s innings.
McCLAIN WAS NOT BITTER when he
was sent back to Syracuse last week. Joe
reasoned that some Of young pitchers de-
served chance, but he said the long time
between starts and the occasional turns in
relief were not in his favor.
1t is very probable that both Mccain
and Hobaugh will be brought back If they
get Strengthened out by pitching in rota-
ton in Syracuse. Hobaugh had no regrets
about being sent out. His only question
was, Where am going?"
Daniels was not pitching with his nor
NAL motion through his first six defeats,
but against the Twins and Tigers in his
last two starts he resembled the pitcher
who won IL games last year. Bonnie retired
l6 of the last 10 batters he faced against
the Tigers Sunday before he ran into
trouble in the eighth inning.
The Indians, who had 26 runs scored
against them in the first four games Of
the Boston series, could be regretting the
loss of Rudolph.
SID HUDSON, THE SENATOR'S
pitching coach, was asked how a pitcher
like Rudolph suddenly could blossom after
kicking around the minors for years, with
an occasional brief trial in the majors.
He just never had chance" Hudson
replied HE was with clubs who were solid
in starting pitchers and apparently when
he was used in relief he was not too
impressive"
But Rudolph led the Pacific Coast
0CdBuC IA 1aEskA dAl0 OAAC <AhACAASoA LAocOCId-
ton in victories and the Senators landed
him. Rudolph is a fast pitcher, uses his
head and has control.
The Senators catcherS are among those
who are sold on Stenhouse, Rudolph, Os-
teen, Hamilton and Tom Cheney. If their
immediate past performances are indicative
Of their ability, the Senators will not be a
cellar ball club for long.

THE SENATORS MAY BE the cellar
occupants of the American League, but it
would be interesting to find out how many
teams would like to exchange starting
pitchers with club that is sh games out
Of ninth place
Claude Osteen has been the best left
handler in the league since he started his
comeback May 20, and Dave Stenhouse
leads the leagues starting pitchers in
earned run average. He trails only Hoyt
Wilhelm, the Orioles knuckleballer and
relief specialist.
The Senator's have come up with the
best southpaw staff in the league in osteen,
Don Rudolph, Steve Hamilton and Pete
Burnside. Rudolphs record is only 81 but
he has had some wretched luck He has
pitched IS innings and walked only IA.
What southpaw can match that control
pitching?
Washington is seven deep in starting
pitchers, which should alleviate all dou-
ble-header problems later in the season.
And due to bullpen failures, all the start
ers have been used in relief in recent
games.
MANAGER MICKEY VERNON called
on Burnside, osteen and Rudolph in trying
to win the first game of the Tiger series,
and used Rudolph and Stenhouse in relief
in Baltimore.
Stenhouse, Burnside and Osteen all
warmed up Sunday in the double victory
over the Tigers
On the Senator'S recent Western trip,
two managers spoke fondly Of Stenhouse
and how they would like to have him in
their bullpen. But as Of this moment STEM
house is the Senators No. / righthanded
starter with his Al record. His last start
was 10 victory over the Tigers.
Until the Tiger series, vernons
starters had been betrayed by the bullpen
almost every time they were in trouble.
Before Marty Kutyna won in relief Satur-
day and Hamilton Sunday, only two of the
Senators victories we're to the credit of
relief pitchers.
Vernon and General Manager Ed
Doherty had been bemoaning the lack of
a strong armed relief pitcher who could
come in and throw fast ball in the late
innings and not be clobbered by a home
run ball.
The lack of such relief pitcher led
to the recall Of Jim Hannah and Carl
Bouldin.
WHEN THE SENATORS opened the
season Vernon counted on Bonnie Daniels,
