Race. Semi-Playoffs
N° w On.
Joanna’s Hornets, aided preatly
by a five-game Clinton Cavalier
winning streak, took the Central
Carolina pennant Saturday night
by downing Ware Shoals Reigels
T to 5. w
Joanna and Ware Shoals entered
Saturday’s battle tied up for the
top position, and it appeared cer
tain that a playoff would have to
be played to determine the winner.
However, Joanna routed the Nin
ety-Six Indians 11-0, while Clinton
took its victory.
Clinton scored runs in the sec
ond, fifth and sixth innings and
fought off a determined Riegel ral
ly in the ninth to take the all-im
portant triumph.
Joanna had a comparatively easy
time with the Indians as Johnny
Moore tossed eight hit balls at the
losers while Guy Prater helped
wrap up the game in the opening
inning with a grand-slam home
run.
Lefty Ken Siefert scattered nine
hits through the Ware Shoals line
up as his Clinton mates blasted
Andy Hawthorne for 13 safeties.
Huffstetler sparked the Cava
liers at bat, hitting a two-run hom
er and two singles in four times
at bat. Ray Bobo gathered four of
the nine Riegel hits in five trips
to the bat. Bobo was followed in
the starting role by Pete Wright
who hft a three-run homer in the
ninth; -t —>
I Traffic Safety For
Children Depends
On Parents' Efforts
BOTH IN SAME STREAM
No wonder drug, serum or anti
biotic can prevent childhood acci
dents, Ned H. Dearborn, president
of the National Safety Council,
warns parents as the nation’s
schools prepare to reopen.
“Millions of parents will see that
their children receive every disease
immunization known to medical
science,” he said, “yet accidents
kill more children—to 14 years of
age than the combined toll of pneu
monia. rheumatic fever, cancer,
tuberculosis and heart disease, and
eight times as many as polio.
"The only effective immunization
against accidents is a compound of
care, caution, -and common sense—
and a big old-fashioned dose could
work wonders. But you can’t buy
it at the comer drug store, and
most parents are too indifferent to
mix it themselves and administer
it regularly.
Parental indifference is one of
the biggest obstacles to any real
reduction of the child accident toll,
Mr. Dearborn said, adding that
mothers and fathers who will join
a bridge club or canasta circle at
the drop of a hat never have time
or energy to attend a community
safety meeting.
“Safety has received only token
support from mothers,” he charged,
“yet they are the greatest poten
tial force it could have.” This
strange reluctance to participate
is more surprising when you con
sider that the basic maternal in
stinct is supposed to be a protective
urge.
“Mothers will stand on street
corners in icy w’eather and sell
tags to raise funds for under-privi
leged children, but they won’t
budge out of their homes to attend
a safety meeting. Their indiffer-
jence to the dangers their children

First Case Polio
This Year, 5-Year-
Old Laurens Lad
This county’s first polio case re
ported in 1952 was in Laurens city
the past week+Afc’hen little five-
year-old boy, “Brother” McDaniel,
was stricken. At the present time
the lad is reported resting as well
as could be expected at home, his I rens.

At Annual Meet
; The annual reorganization meet

American Red Cross was held dur

man J. Hewlette Wasson in Lau-
in circles but rather with a respect
ful upon another rugged schedule.
Once more it includes the Southern
Conference foursome — Clemson,
Furman, Citadel and Davidson—
another strong Wofford eleven, re
building teams at Newberry, Ca
tawba and Western Carolina and a
newcomer in the uniform of Liv
ingston (Ala.) State Teachers.
As in every pre-season estimate
of a football situation, there are ifs
and strong qualifications. Pres
byterian will field virtually the
of Kannapolis, N. C; Guard Wal-
ter Yates of Norfolk, Va., and Cen
ter Jimmy Allen of Conway.
Three other returning veterans

WITH BLALOCK CLINIC
Miss Frances Cartee of Spartan
burg has accepted a position as su
perintendent of nurses at Blalock

hospital and did post-graduate

never bother to consult anybody on
how to protect them from acci
dents.
“Women who would oust their
school board if they fourtd math
ematics or history were not being
taught in high school, are utterly
unc9ncerned over the fact that
driver training, swimming lessons
and first aid are not compulsory
subjects.”
With the reopening of school,
exposure to accidents as well as
disease, increases, Mr. Dearborn
pointed out. The automobile, one
of the greates conveniences of
modern life, has become the No. 1
child killer of the 5 to 14 year age
group. One thousand, two hundred
children in this age bracket were
killed in pedestrian accidents in
1951, and about another 60,000 in
jured.
As ^hool reopens the National
Safety Council suggests that par
ents accompany young children to
and from school for the first few
days, showing them the safest
route—and explaining why it is
safest.
On these trips children should be
taught:
1. To always walk on sidewalks,
or well away from the path of cars.
2. To cross streets carefully, stop
ping at the curb and looking both
ways.
3. Never to step into the street
from behind parked cars.
4. To be especially alert for traf
fic when streets are wet or slip
pery—and when carrying umbrel
las.
5. To walk on the left side of the
highway, facing traffic, when there
are no sidewalks.
6. To obey police and school saf
ety patrolmen and respect traffic
signals.
4. To always play on playgrounds
and never in the street.

J. Hewlette Wasson, vice-chair
man cf the county polio chapter,
stated that another case had been
reported in the county, but that
after dose examination was de
clared not to be infantile paralysis
Mr. Wasson also urged that all
parents in the county let this first
case of polio be a reminder of the
simple rules issued by the Nation
al Foundation For Infantile Para
lysis for the safety of their chil
dren when polio is in the commun
ity.
The Foundation suggests
few rules to parents:
1. Let your children continue to
play and be with their usual com
panions.
2. Teach your children to scrub
their hands before putting food in
to their mouths.
3. See that your children nev
er use anybody else’s towels, wash
cloths or dirty drinking glasses,
dishes and tableware.
