NO. 2 Cavilettes Again To Seek League n i vnampionsnip Those ball-whopping young ladies--the Clinton Cavilettes ?will be on the field again this Spring and Summer, again defending their pennant winning championship against other teams in the Piedmont Girls Softball League. Practice for the 1955 season will begin March 14 at 4:30 on the softball field. Frances and Clark Meadors, who have devoted so much of their time, energy, interest and skill to leading this team to hundreds of victories on the diamond, will again direct the Cavilettes. All girls between the ages of 12 and 18 at both Clinton and Lydia Mills are eligible for this team and are urged to turn out for the first practice and try out. Mr. and Mrs. Meadors point out that the more girls who try out for the team, the more talent will be available for the season, and the better the chances arc for another championship team. If you have a daughter between the ages of 12 and 18, urge them to re port. These girls have a wonderful time in the finest sportsmanship atmosphere.

Clinton Mills Nurse Almost any nurse will tell you that there is no subject they know less about?or that the victims think they know more about?than the common cold. The average citizen has six colds a year, varying from runny nose to the coughs, sneezes and misery of a bad one. Colds cost the nation worKing lime worth an estimated $420,000,000 in wages, and much more in discomfort and lowered efficiency. A cold is an infectious disease spread by a virus?and a virus is the poison of an infectious disease, a midget form of bacteria often so tiny that the virus cannot be filtered out.

Permit No. 59 ILTO2& FEBRUARY 15. 1955 Tax Time Here: ? ? m These Hints May Save You Money The biggest subject on the minds of Clinton-Lydia employees today?whether they like it or not?is income taxes, both federal and state. The federal government has given us an extra month this year to file and pay up, until April 15, and the state government may do the same but as of this writing. South Carolina wants its forms in Columbia by March 15. Of course a lot of our peonle alreadv havp filpH thpir income tax returns since the company fi nished the needed W-2 fc ..is showing withholding tax sometime back.

The regular attendance maintained at the present gives evidence of the worthy intention of the students who have found that knowledge in world affairs and other fields offers inspiration and incentive for general culture which develops better citizenship. The immediate aim of the school is to acquire practical and basic knowledge equiva lent to that provided in public schools. With such an important purpose, the relatively new school should receive the full backing of the entire community.
