Sure Death Seen

Good Evening has just re
turned from a visit to the new
preserving plant of Crossfield
Foods, Inc., where he saw Joe
Adams directing the plant in
making strawberry preserves.
The strawberries they were us
ing were picked in Tennessee
Monday and were brought here
by fast truck to be processed.
The Crossfield preserves are
put up under the brand name
of “Calico” and the ones we
saw put up were as pretty we
as we have ever seen. Due to
vacuum cooking the strawberries
are canned whole intead of be
ing cooked info a plup as are
many preserves.
We saw a batch of 200 gal
lons of the berries being pro
cessed. All equipment is shin
ing new alumium and the plant
is housed in a concrete and
steel addition to the old peach
packing plant.
Plans are underway to cont
inue processing strawberries.
from Tennessee for sometime.
Later blackberry, peach, pine
apple and cherry preserves will
be made. All will be marketed
under the name “Calico.”
Already Crossfield has more
orders than the plant can pos
sibly fill this season.
Good Evening got his start in —(
the newspaper game in the
sports department of the Balti
more (Md.) American and every
now and then he just can't
help but write about sporting
events in ihis colmun.
Well, last night, he saw a
ball game that was a heart
breaker—not only for the fans,
but for Lefty O’Donnell, who
pitched an almost perfect game.
O'Donnell gave up only four
hits. And in the fifth this same
O Donnell, hit a sharp double
that scored Carroll and Griffin
led 1 to 0. This lead looked
good until the ninth when Val
ley scored twice—both runs be
ing unearned. An error on a fly
tall and a poor judgement by
the third baseman in not throw
ning home to catch a runner
cost Lefty the game.
With reasonably good support
O Donnell can become one of
the league leading hurlers—we
" 1 don't doubt that one bit.
And we’re equally confident
that once Manager Fred Camp
bell is given a little more help,
so he can strengthen his team,
the locals will be up in the
running for the flag. Campbell,
ps fine a player as we've ever
seen in Class D baseball, and
a manager who has done well
w'ith a green team, is the sort
of manager the fans like. That
boy will go far In baseball.

Even Foes Concede
Senate Will Join
House On Repeal .1
WASHINGTON ‘!P) — Friend
and foe of the bi'l to repeal feder
al oleomargarine takes predie'ed
today the Senate will join the House
in voting to wipe out the 62 year
old levies.
Both sides sale a doubt was re
moved by the major setback dairy
interests suffered Wednesday.
.
That came when the Senate vo
ted 47 to 30 to reverse the ruling of
Senator Vandenberg (Mich) and
send the measure to me Finance
Committee. Vandenberg. as presid
ing officer, had held the Agricul
ture Committee should have juris
diction. r
Finance Chairman Milikin (R
Coloi said the question of holding
hearings on the bill would be put
before a committee scs-ion. But he
noted that the issue already has re
ceived a thorough gring over in
both the Senate and House.
“I don't know of any reason for
any extra delay in considering the
bill,” he told reporters. "There is
no factor calling lor extraordinary
speed or extraordinary delay. We'll
handle it along with our other le
gislation.”
One of the major arguments of
the repeal advocates, headed by
Senator Fulbright (D-Ark i. was that
the Finance Committee would act
more promptly on the measure than
the Agricultural Group
Fulbright termed Wednesday's
vote a "pretty fair interpretation”
of how the Senate stands. Senatoi
Aiken (R-Vt.i, who Uc> the butter
forces, went even further. He said
it is a “foregone conclusion'' that a
repeal bill will pass the Senate.
But the Vermonter served notice
that he will try to amend the House
measure if his objections are not
taken care of in committee. He
wants the bill changed to insure
there will be no "fraudulent” use of
margarine.
