Camak A July fly sat away up high Dn a limb of an elm tree And envied the Jay as he raucoused away With all of his pride and glee. "Oh my, oh my", said the July flY> "I'd give most anything, If I had a bill that acorn won't fill, So I could perch and sing. But I'm just a fly, all wing, leg and eye, And no bill like the beautiful . Jay. But I'll use some of them, right here on this limb, I can't sing?perhaps 1 can play. So he fiddled his legs 'gainst his silvery wings, And, gee, he was happy and gav, For the noise he made as he played and played. Was louder than the song of the Jay. But like the Jay, just one note could he play Remember, he was only a fly And as thn .Tnv sant* ".Tnv" in his raucoused way, The fly kept playing "July". Now, I don't know which, but I do know why They named the fly for the month Or the month for the fly. It was because it all happened ( in the month of July. The above poem was written by Prof. M. B. Camak former Supt. of the Ware Shoals Schools and guest sneaker at our "1959" Old Timers Banquet. BASEBALL n, and the FACTS OF LIFE You know what they say in the major leagues . . . that the team in first place July 4th is the one headed for the pennant. Most of the time the adage holds. Yet there is more i/\ if 1 Uon f Uof In the early months of the season you hear much of new "marvels" at the plate and in the field ... of newcomers who start out like a ball of fire: then suddenly, mysteriously sink back into obscurity. The 154-game season is a long, tough grind. The early fanfare may go to the new "finds." The averages mount up, though, for the man who can be out there every day, like a pro. unmindful of the the fireworks about him. As in baseball, the crowd may be for you or against you; the umpire may be blind, and the other side lucky . . . but if you do the job you're capable of doing, and keep on doing it, you'll land in the first division.
