Johnsburg won the first game i" to L Richmond took, the second 2 to 1 and won the toss to play the deciding game on their home diamond. Richmond will now meet Algonquin at Richmond starting a 2 out %f 3 series next Sundgy for. the league championship. The game last Sunday had its exciting moments all the way as first one team and then the other gained an advantage. Vern, Miller once again was a tough customer on, the mound, striking out 11 batters, and a 2 for 4 hitter on the offensive side. Miller set down the Tigers in order in the first three inningF while Richmond started to make trouble as early as the second inning. A fast double play from Howie Freund to Charlie Hiller to Katz put down a scoring threat. Pitien Injured Seven men batted for Richmond in the third and two of them scored. Winn lined out to Si Meyers. Vern Miller doubled to deep left. The bags were loaded when C. Hiller had trouble with bounders by Katzenberg and Richie Miller. Gordie Miller walked to force in the first run. Ted Pitzen was hit on the finger and had to retire from the game, Harry Freund taking over the catching. Connie Miller's roller went through Klapperich, Katzenberg scoring. "Hessie" Miller lined to C. Hiller and G. Miller was doubled off second for the third out Jbhnsburg tied the score at 2h2 in the fourth. Si Meyers hit to center. Art Jackson drew a pass. C. Hiller sacrificed to H. Miller unassisted.

Manager Howie Freund, a great competitor all the way, boomed a triple into right field. Howie scored on a single by Kats o make the score 4 to 3 in Johnsburg's favor. Threats arose and faded away and it looked like the Tigers would hold the lead when the first two Richmond batters were retired in the ninth. Doubles by Richie Miller and Gordie Miller put the game right back into a Lie, 4-all. Kats DoiMci Johnsburg threatened intke top of the tenth when Kats doubled to right and moved to third on a wild piteh. But, this Is where Vern Miller arose to the occasion. There was one out on a strikeout when Kats doubled. Vern fanned two more to take care of the situation. Now comeb the wild finish in the tenth. JPlckering singled to left and stole second. Tilton went down swinging. Winn was safe on a fielder's choice when Howie Freund attempted to force Pickering at third. Vern Miller was given an intentional pass.

Women use the cotton bsg fabric for sew* Sometime this year, probably about the middle of December, the 1,000,000th traffic death will occur in the iJnited States--unless there is mass determination to postpone that fateful date. It is shocking to realise that since the turn of the century, since the first automobile chugged and hissed to the derision and excitement of a horse-drawn era, the live-s of almost 1,000,000 men, women "^nd children have been squandered in one of the most senseless and tragic wastes of modern times. But even more shocking than the toll is the Inescapable fact that few Americans Tfeel any real personal concern. As tlfeir fellows perish about them, they look on with a detachment and complacency that is difficult to understand and even more difficult to alter. There rests the keystone of the entire traffic safety structure-- personal concern. The duty of every responsible citizen is to strive for ^raffic safety as a voter, as a volunteer worker in whatever capacity his interests and abilities direct, and as a driver and pedestrian. Even the relatively small percentage of accidents caused by mechanical failure of motor vehicles could be reduced if owners would make lure their cars are in safe condi- :ion. Two years ago the well-loved Margaret Mitchell was struck down on a street in Atlanta by a driver wh<\, while personally cul pable, was only the product of his city's apathy. The blood of Margaret Mitchell was on the hands of everyone whose indifference set the stage for the tragedy. Shocked into action, Atlanta today is making impressive strides in accident prevention. But what will it take to spur the nation into action? Will 1,000,- 000 deaths--the day of seven-figure reckoning--do it? If so, the dead will endure to some purpose and memorialize a new hope. One million deaths, then, pan be more than a morbid ihilestone on a road without ending. It is a plkce to examine the failures of the past and to plan for the future. For more than a decade the techniques of traffic accident prevention, tested and proved by the National Safety Council and other organizations, have been available for application by any city or State. What has been the result? While most states have a statute requiring examination for a driver's license, only a few administer the law strictly enough to give it meaning. Thousands of drivers lack the skills, physical faculties and mental attitudes for safe driving. Re-examination of older drivers or those who have been involved in accidents or violations is virtually nonexistent. Enforcement of traffic laws always will be necessary to curb the irresponsible minority. Yet in most cities far less than the minimum standard of 25 percent of the police' poWer is devoted to traffic. The finger of accusation has been pointed repeatedly at the teenage driver. Yet only a third of our eligible students are receiving driver education, and far less than that number are offered bebind-the-wheel instruction. Only thirteen states permit tests of blood alcohol to be used in court a^inst the most reprehensible motoring miscreant--the drinking driver. Yet scientific tests are the only sure measurement of intoxication. Engineering and road building have fallen far behind the demands of the motor age. Lack of funds is the common excuse, yet billions of dollars in gasoline takes have been diverted into channels of pdlitical expediency. Automatic revocation of a driver's license for serious misconduct is revoked all too seldom. Jail sentenes are few. The systems of fineB and penalties throughout the nation is a hodgepodge of improvisation, the temper of the court, and the stature and legal counsel 'of the defend ant. Officials can act effectively and decisively only within the limits of public support. Only a few states and cities have organized public support groups of influential citizens who can arouse the interest and crystallize the opinion of the community. And many of those that do exist are merely letterhead donations to the public good. These are but a few of the more obvious holes in the dike of traffic safety. They can be plugged, but only through the aroused interest and insistent support of people who care. A little time remains before the 1,000,000th victim is counted. At best, that somber date can be pushed into 1952--if 1,000,000 ghosts are a reproach beyond acceptance.

This vegetable-- the soybean--had long been treasured in the Orient as a food. Today it is used in the manufacture of shortenings, bake goods, confectionery, cereal, beverages, paper, animal foods, cosmetics and innumerable other products. The oil from this bean is also used extensively by paint manufacturers in the production of fine paints and varnishes. --* T- V * ii. , Literary Years '/A The Good Earth was published In 1931.
