these decorators suggest that you usj?
accessories that will be in keeping,
•antiques or copies of old pieces in
informal materials such as pewter,
brass, old copper, American hand
made glass, and primitive pottery.
Brass fireplace equipment and
mantel ornaments of copper are at
home in the Colonial background;
they combine happily with hand-
wqven fabrics and chintz printed in
sprigged or geometric patterns.
' Hand-blown and hand-pressed
glass for table and decorative use
will ’highlight the room and fit in
with the Colonial atmosphere. Milk
glass and clear pressed glass in au
thentic reproductions of .the quaint
old patterns is being made by hand
todly by American glassworkers who
have used the same pains-taking me
thods for generations. • .
For important little touches in the
informal Colonial interior, use hur
ricane lamp shades, candlesticks,
candelabra, infinite varieties of
bowls and vases for fruit and fk>w-
[ers, antf other decorations. Milk glass
plates with hand-decorated fruit pat
terns, or with lace-like lattice edges,
may be hung on the wall over the
mantel instead of pictures. American
handmade glassware in cranberry
red, chartreuse or emerald green, co
balt blue, topaz or amethyst will be
effective.
Prized, hand-worked samplers,
old prints, patchwork quilts and
hand-woven rugs fit into the Amer
ican Colonial picture. Furniture in
cherry, walnut, pine, maple and
birch is in keeping, and shades of
russet, mustard, yellow, ruby red,
olive or pine green harmonize well.

Lydia Probably To Continue j
Baseball
There has been some talk going
around town that says the Lydia
baseball squad will be discontinued
but according to reliable sources the
team will probably continue to en
ter the competition of the mid-state
league.
For one good argument, the Lydia
backers bought new uniforms and
equipment at the end of last season
and if the club was to be discontin
ued they probably wouldn’t have
made such a move.
Anderson Leads Clinton Girls
Tot Anderson is currently leading

The Presbyterian Blue Hose "be

competifom last night in their game

have one of their toughest battles
on their hands Saturday night when
they clash with Erskine’s Flying
Fleet.'
Hosemen Meet Fleet
The state standings of collegiate
basketball may be changed some
what Saturday night when the Blue
Hose, the second place team of the
state clashes with the Flying Fleet
from Erskine, the state’s leaders in
the standings.
Presbyterian should show up very
well and is expected to give the
highly touted men from Erskine one
of the battles of their season’s car-
rer.
Erskine sports some of the tallest
basketball players in this state but
their heighth isn’t their main qual
ity since they are sporting some of
the best shots in the state.
Presbyterian will have to be up
and in their best form to take a vic
tory from the Fleptmen but it can
be done. Some of the reasons for the
opptomistic view point is Dwight
“Willy” Groninger and Kay Hill.
Groninger seems to be stepping back
into the form which won him a
place on the all state squad last
year although he was just a mere
freshman.
Kay Hill has been the biggest sur
prise -of the year as he has had lit
tle trouble racking up 19 and 20

Fallaw Receives Offer From
Davidson
Herbert Fallaw, 178 pound end on
the Clinton high school football team
of 1949 has received an offer from
Davidson for a football scholarship.
Fallaw hasn't decided as yet as
to whether he will accept the bid
or not but he is going up to the school
sometime in the near future to dis
play his talent. If Fallaw does ga
•to Davidson he will probably be
switched from end to some other po
sition in the line since his speed
might held him back from being the
best college end.
There were other boys from the
Red Devil roster who received bids
from Davidson but these boys, Eu

had already decided to go to PjC.

last year. During the year more than 20,600

People at WorlL
At the close of 1949 there were about 3,200
