?ft ? " King and Queen Taste Hot Dogs The King *?d Queen of England up provlngly ut? American hot dogh ami drank beer pienlc-fashlon Sunday on tho indescribably scenic bluff that shoulders the estate of Presideut jtoosovelt high above the Hudson HIver at Hyde Park, N. Y. At 10:09 last night the royal party started back to Canada on their way home after a four-day visit in the United States. Pork and beans?a commoner dish ?also was on the menu for royalty, along with many other snacks of peculiarly American quality and tradition. George and Elizabeth, who eat off gold whenev.er they want to at home and did so at the state dinner In the White House, ate off paper dishes set out by the President and his wife in true picnic style. Their majesties wore reported to have thoroughly, enjoyed the rusticating relaxation and strange food after tumultuous receptions and long drives through vastly populated lauos in Washington and Now York earlier in the week-end. So informal was the afternoon that finally they dispensed entirely with handshaking the President's other guests. They just chatted and roamed about under the trees that protected them from a hot sun shining beautifully over the great green expanses ? leafy fringes chat ail but blotted out the route down which Benedict Arnold retreated from West Point, bent on betraying the American colonists on behalf of their royal ancestor. George III. The countryside fhereabouts reeks of the only chapters of history to recite enmity between Britain and this nation. After the picnic, the President? whose swift driving once made the King grab frantically for his hat? took his guests down to the Val Kill cottage for tea, but one look at the blue-tinted, spray-rippled water of the swimming pool was enough to change the plans of President and King. They went swimming together for the second time, it was disclosed. They took their first dip Friday afternoon at the White Houke after an informal tea. The Roosevelts and the Windsors started their informal day in worship together in the plain pews of tiny St. James Episcopal church, nestling in th>> trees two miles from the Roosevrlt estate. Decorous but excited communicants looked on as Mr. Roosevelt moved into a front row pew of plain walnut. "With him in the pew were the King, Queen Elizabeth, Mrs. Roosevelt, and the President's 84-year-old mother, Mrs. Sara Delano Roosevelt. In solemn reverence, the royal couple followed the services, joining in the singing of hymns and the responsive readings. The King moved his hand to his forehead during several prayers. King George Is the head'of the Anglican church and "defender of the faith." Mr. Roosevelt Is a senior warden of St. James parish. Except for special prayers and a' brief word of greeting to the royal j visitors, the services followed the usual Episcopalian morning prayer routine. The Right Rev. Henry St. George Tucwker, presiding bishop of the Episcopal church, preached the sermon. in which he asserted that the British nation must share a large part of the responsibility for solving the nation's ill's. The rector, the Rev. Frank R. Wilson, a tall spare man with a thin voice, eased some of the tension among the communicants when he noted that every seat was filled and interspersed a welcome to the royal couple. "One sees what happens when our parishioners briufc their guests to the church," he said. "If everyone would do this we would fill the church every Sunday. "We appreciate the historic visit their majesties are making to this parish," he added, looking directly at the King and Queen. "We are happy to add our voice to that of the Mother (Anglican) church in commending your majesties to the grace and protection of Almighty God." The royal visitors and their hosts drove to the church from the Roosevelt family home where their majesties were belated guests at an informal dinner party Saturday night after a tumultuoua welcome earlier In New York City. Boy Killed by Lightning Kenneth Earl Moseley, 6-year-old white boy, was brought to the Tourney hospital from his home on the Ashwood project Saturday afternoon in an unconscious condition, after having been struck by lightning. His brother, several years older, was killed by the same bolt that struck a tree under Which the two boys were standing. Kenneth waa revived by physicians at the hospital and today was ssid to be out of danger.?Monday's Sumter Item. Baseball Games Depend On Forests South Carolina'* forests contribute toward the great national pastime of baseball advises the Stale Forest Service. Hickory and ash are made into baseball bats In a South Carolina factory at Greenville and these woods are produced in the forests and woodlands of the state. One often hears of a ball player's swinging the "willow" but the wood of the willow true is rarely If ever used for ball bats. However, It Is used for orlcket bats aud probably after t^he game of baseball was Invented thfc' same term was used to designate a baseball bat regardless of the species of wood used In making It. In addition to the wood In the bats, forest products In the form of tannic add extracts from the fast disappearing chestnut tree or from the oaks and the hemlock are used in the tanning of the leather In gloves and niltts 1 i. I J-. U1 used by the players. Tall, straight, pressure croosoted pi no poles are used to support the Hood lights for night games and smaller poles are used for backstop supports. Bleachers and maud statuls are made of pine and cypress while fences are made of the same materials. Naturally If knotty boards are used in the fences the knot holes are ideal places for small boys to view the game without puytng. The score board also comes from the forest and the advertising signs surrounding the outfield are of wood as well as the "press box" perched high on the roof of the grand stand directly in rear of the home plate, Kven the score cards and programs are made from the fibres secured from the pines and hardwoods of South Carolina's forests. The Ink on the score cards contains rosin, the paint on the signs was probably thinned with turpentine and the soap used to keep the players clothing clean also contains rosin?all produced from our Southern pine trees. "A baseball fan or player rarely re lates (Ite sport of our woodlands but In reality It would bo difficult to conduct a ball game Inexpensively, comfortably and easily without the products of our forests regardless of whether it Is a sand lot game or a professional performance."

PUT BERMUDA ROOTS TO PROFITABLE FARM USE Clcmson, June 1-' Bermuda mass may be a post in cultivated tlelds, but a very practical use can be made of the roots removed from cultivated land during cultivation of row crops this summer. according to Krnest fames, state coordinator for the Soil Conservation Service, and H. K. O. Prlchard. assistant axronomlst of lite Cletuson college extension service. If these roots are piled up and cov- < cred with a small amount of soil, they will live and can bo sprigged in on galled and severely eroded pasture areas when convenient. In this way a type of vegetation which Is a pest in cultivated holds can bo put to a productive use by protecting galled areas against further erosion and providing a basis for a goihI pasture sod that will give grazing to many cows that might otherwise go hungry.
