But for a bobble by Homan at third followed by Decker's triple to the right center wall the game might be going yet. #. The weather roan sure was kind to humanity on Faster Sunday.

It pictured the minister in the public on Easter morning and this is what he was saying "At this time I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy Year since I won't see most of you until you wear your new hats n?xt Easter.'*' Ain't it the truth friends, ain't it? m m m Speaking ofr Easter, it strikes rae as strange that so few people can tell off hand just how the date of Easter; is determined. I got thinking about this Sunday afternoon when some one j inquired as to why Easter came so early last year and so late this year. Seems to me I remember being told once upon a time that Easter comes on the first Sunday following the Paschal full moon which happens upon or next after the 21st of March The decree fixing the date was made in 325 A. D. Easter has a range of 35 days. It can come as early as March 22, or as late as April 25. It is an interesting fact that beginning this year Easter will como in April for seven straight years. . * J Speaking of polo?that was a one man show Cyril Harrison staged Sunday when he shot 7 goals to lead his tram, the Town gang, to a 7-6 win over Country.

FOR COUGHS FROM COLDS THAT WONT TURN LOOSE TAKE ONE SIP OF MENTMO-MULSION WAIT FIVE MINUTES DoKALB PHARMACY ' ?" V. Twelve Runs In First Wins Game l*es Boll's Hartiabuig Senators registered their seventh straight last Friday by trouncing the University of South Carolina IS to 2. The college boys never had a ohanoe aa the Inter* State league entry not away to a twelve-run lead to the very first inning. In this same, however, ltoll permitted a pitcher to go the full distance for the flrat time this year. This luyior went to Surge Clark, the big righthander, who let down the collegians with three hlta. He walked four and struck out ten. If pot for some wobbly support und a mild spell of wlldness in the seventh and eighth, Walter might have chalked up thetfdub's first shutout of the year. Cmrk'a record In this gume Is excellent, indeed. But it is obvious that the opposition was very much interior. Therefore the game affords no true standard of Just how good he reuily was Friday. Before this outing Clark had made Just One up poarance. That was agaihst Willlamspoi't, and in three Innings ho gave up one hit and one run. The game also marked the first time that Bell had a chance to view Jack Westley forN the full nmo Innings. Westley started a game against Wllliamsport, but the fruy was culled because of rain In the third, In that debacle Jack suffered a recurrence of an ankle Injury, which has been bothering him more or less since he reported to camp nearly three weeks ago. Westley was placed In the Important No. 3 spot and batted out two singles In five trips to the plate. Because of the Impressive record he compiled in the Florida East Coast League last year, Jack will be given every opportunity to pro.ve himself a Class B performer. Right now ho Is expected *to 'bo one of the club's leading hitters. Jack Buffington, the Dauphin youth, played the entire game at third base for the Senators yesterday. Jack was the only Harrlsburg player to go without a hit, and be committed two errors. Despite an off-day perfoirmance, Buffington has Impressed Bell. But because so much experienced material Is at hand, it Is believed the Harrlsburg manager will option Jack ' to a Class I) club for th? coming season. Strangely enough, the twelve runs scored by the Senators In tho opening frame Friday cam? with aid of only on? hit. This safety was combined with seven bases on balls, four errors, a hit batsman and a passed ball. Four more runs were added In th? fifth and one was pushed across In eac1 of the seventh and eighth Innings. A double by Clark and a triple by JoWnson featured the four run rally. Cox's double and slnglos by Parks and Gracey produced th? run In th? seventh, and singles by Johnson and Westley and Parks' long fly netted the tally in tbe eighth. ARMY THROW8 UP B4-MINUTE BRIDGE Tampa. Fla. April 12 -Sweating army engineers hullt a $46,000 bridge across tho Hillsborough river north ot ihla city today in att hour ami 24 mlm u t oh by tho colonel's watch. Hut they'll tear It down Monday and ro? turn to Camp Blending?170 miles distant. It was a practice Job for tho Otto Hundred and Sixth Kngineors, an out* tit of tho Thirty-Mrst or Dixie division and It showed what they could do under wartime conditions. With 000 men and 218 trucks, cars and trailers, they pulled out of camp at daylight this morning, were bivouacked north of Tampa before noon and had trucks running across u brand new bridge while the sun was still high. The bridge, stretching 125 foot from bank to bank, floats ott aluminum pontoons but it is sturdy enough to carry a ten ton tank. To tho people around the suburban neighborhood It wuh sheer magic. At 2 o'clock the only way across the river there was to swim against a racing current. At 3:26, they watched pop-eyed while heavy army trucks rumbled across on a nine-foot roadway. America's Merchant Marine of the Air. operating on 69,464 miles of airways in f>3 countries and colonies, is manned by 6,500 persons. l^ake Baikal, in southern Siberia, is the largest fresh water lake in Asia, and tho deepest fresh water lake in the world.

Motion Pictures ft On Tuberculosis Four thousand two hundord Kershaw County people In seventeen communities saw motion pictures on tuberculosis lust week u coord lug to u ro|M>ri Just issued by Doctor J aim W. Corbelt, chairman of the early diagnosis campaign against tuherculosls, holnK carried on throughout the month of April. Cue of the pictures shown. "Good Uye Mr. Qerm," Is an Imaginary story of an eminent scientist. l>r. Morton, talking with Toe Hoe, whom ho sees through the auper-mlcroeeope that is hooked up with a special radio device. To the delight and amusement of all who see this newest Aim, produced by the National Tuberculosis Association with Christmas Seal Sale money, Mr. Tee Deo tells how ho managed to get Into the lungs of three year old Fdgar through the carelessness of his aunt, who always tasted iiis food to he sure it was not too hot for littlo Kdgar. When Kdgar grew to manhood, because of lack of rest and poor eating habits, his lungs became so weakened 'that Mr. Too Deo together with numerous members of ltls tribe caused Kdgar to bo so 111 from tuberculosis that ho hud hemorrhages, but finally made a good recovery in a sanatorium. While In the sanatorium, a specimen of sputum, in which Mr. Too Bee was hiding was sent by a nurse to the laboratory, where Doctor Morton 'placed hint in a .test tube so his behavior could be studied and he could he prevented forever from doing harm to boys and girls. Mr. Tee Bee finally becomes convinced that tuberculosis as an enemy to mankind will soon be licked, so ho. himself, passes out while I>octor Horton rejoices over the victory won for the world's children. "To W. C. MoCarloy, Oountiy Farm Agent, Mr, Lynn of the Clemson Collego Kxtension Service, teachers as well as students, who assisted with darkening auditoriums for day time showings," Doctor Corbett said, "Mis# Marie Thomas and the local tuberculosis association is deeply Indebted." On Jau. 1, 1941, there were 2,666 airports, landing fields and seaplane bases in the United States and Alaska?an increase of 205 over the year 1940. Why does a / I Golf BaUb ounce? Ever notice that a golf ball, when you drop it, bounces higher than something hollow, like a tennis ball? That's partly because of internal pressures, which also have so much to do with Buick's extra Fireball power. Rubber threads inside a golf ball are packed tight, highly compressed. When flattened against a hard object, like a sidewalk, they come back harder, with more push, and so the ball bounces higher. A similar thing happens inside a Buick Fireball straight-eight cylinder. Fuel compression pressures are higher here than in any other standard-production automobile engine. So when the spark jumps in the tightly packed, fuel-fat ball of gas-mixture at the top of the stroke ? the Buick piston goes rushing down with more push, more shove, more power than the same amount of fuel gives up elsewhere. Result: every Buick engine travels farther per gallon this year than the same-size engines did last year, while Compound Carburetion* with Buick . Fireball design gives as much as 10% to 15% more miles per gallon. S In fact, if you're buying any car this year, it's pretty important to see and drive a Buick before you're through; ?.i I ^ it 8 iNumoor une in smart engineering as well as Number k One in solid, rock- ? bottom, all - round [ VALUE!
