Thoughts
about
Things

Have you been to a Little
League Baseball game this
year? l found it to be one OF
the most interesting exper-
fences I've had this summer
when / attended the Lexing-
ton Lions : Durant Cubs game
last Tuesday night in Durant.
I had no idea that I'd actual
ly enjoy it, but I did.
There are no spectator
seats at the Durant ball field,
so | sat on the bench with
the young players, aged from
9 : IL years old. AS a result,
at the end Of the game ! had
as many new young friends
as there are boys on the
Lions team.
When the batting order and
positions are read out, the
boys listen instead of misbe-
having, as IS the general tend
ancy Of boys that age. Oh,
the coach has to threaten
kicking one or two off the
team when they catch a bad
case of the "show-outs," bue
almost always works out fine.
The little leaguer's can cat
Oh very we'll and throw with
amazing strength. Another re-
markable thing about them :
they seem to pay more at
tention to the game than to
the spectators.
They share the same feel
ings each one knows he
can catch better than the
basemen, pitch better than
the pitcher, and bat better
than the batter. Yet, when
one Of them makes a good hit
like Danny Malone's or a good
catch like David GarrisOn's
all the others rush to congra-
tulate the new celebrity or
cheer him on.
They're a fine group of
boys, these Little Leaguers,
and l wish to congratulate
their coaches for the good
work, and especially the boys,
for their eagerness and effort
to learn, their behavior, and
most of all their outstanding
sportsmanship.

Story for the week:
A man walked into a bar and order
ed whiskey and soda. He drank his
drink, waited a few minutes, then
pulled out his wallet AMI looked in
side. He then called the bartender and
ordered a whiskey double, which he
drank. After a few more minutes he
pulled out his wallet, looked at the
contents a bit longer than before, then
called for another whiskey double.
After drinking it, he waited as before,
opened his wallet and after a short
glance, paid the bartender and started
to leave. wait a minute," the barten-
der said, why did you pull out your
wallet and look inside as you did after
each drink" The imbiber explained,

Last Sunday / went to the
Jackson Zoo. They had a new
baby hippopotamus that wei
ghed about fifty pounds. Last
time | went to the Zoo the
big giraffe was in the cage
and this time they had the
littlest giraffe in the cage.
We went to see the new por-
cupine and then saw the ant
eater. We saw a squirrel
that had a tail with no hair.
Then we went to see the mon
keys. l threw a piece of pop
corn to one and it fell out
side the cage and the mon
key reached out with his
tail and got the popcorn. He
took it to his water trough and
washed it before he ate it.
Then we went to see the
baboon. My sister threw a
cup of ice to the baboon and
he caught it with his hand.
1t was folded up and he un-
folded it and ate the ice.

THE TROUBLE with dropping

tunity. The double advantage OF
drift fishing is that you constantly
cover new water, and 50 slowly
that you can use methods that
trolling speeds rule out.
Hook q live minnow through
both lips and add just enough
sinker to take it down. Let it
swim" slowly and naturally just

boat, picking it up and recasting
each time the boat comes over it.
Jigsing is another d~rift-6shing
stunt. Snap on q metal spoon or
wobbler and let il straight down
until il hits bottom. Reel in a few
feet, then pump with a steady
rhythm, alternately lifting the lure
sharply and then dropping the rod
tip to let it flutter back down. Fish
usually belt a jigged spoon while
it's dropping on a slack line-so
stand ready to set the hooks at all
times.
A strike is the signal to drop
anchor for a spell, for one of the
big detectives of drift fishing is to
find a hidden hot spot. Stick with
it for as long as it continues to pay
off, then resume drifting. A few
pulls of the oars from time to time
is all that's needed to keep you on

EASY TO MEET
/ She's a Vote Getter
BY JACK LYNCH
Associated Press Writer

HARRISBURG. Aug. TO-
Mary Scranton looms large in
the political career of her
husband, Republican Gov.
VILLA m w. Scranton of
Pennsylvania.
In addition to being the
charming, articulate, easy-to-
meet type of wife worth
countless extra votes to a
candidate, she probably is the
most able distaff campaigner
and student of politics to
come along in this State in
some time.
Mr.. Scranton calls her his
greatest asset. The feeling is
more than one of husbandly
pride and loyalty.
With Mary at his side, Mr..
Scranton won stunning cleo
lions to Congress in 1860 and
to the governorship in 1862
despite heavy Democratic reg
istration margins.
How much credit for Gov.
Scranton's 47O-O00-vote VIC
tory last fall can be traced
to Mary Scranton is one of
the imponderables of politics.
But veterans of Pennsyl-
vania's Bareknuckle School of
Politics were amazed by her
tireless energy, confident
manner and feel" for the
crowds In the hard-fought
gubernatorial race.
She carried throughout the
State her firm conviction
that Bill Scranton, son of a
wealthy family which gave its
name to the city of Scranton,
has extraordinary talents to
offer.
Therein lies a paradox.
IT was very hopeful that
Bill would never get into po-
litical life," she explains. IT
am a sedentary individual at
heart and I would lead a
quiet life If there were no
other considerations.
However, 1 also felt very
strongly that as his life de-
veloped it seemed Bill could
contribute a great deal to
government. He has talents
which were needed.
When the chips were down
on his running for Governor,
as much as I opposed it, I
thought 1t was q thing he
should do.
And when you feel strongly
that a man can do a job you
can get out there and do
everything you possibly can
for him."
The Scrantons, married 81
years, are a close family. Mrs.
Scranton's chief regret is that
her life in the five years
since Scranton entered OF
flee has cut deeply into the
time she can spend with
their children, Susan, II;
William, Is; Joseph, Is, and
