Ralph Van Fleet, district chair
man of the National Recreation
Association, spent a day and a half
in Athens this week as guest of
the Recreation and Parks Depart
ment and the University Health
Workshop. He reviewed the Ath
ens Recreation layout and said it
evidenced much growth and im
| provement in the past year.
The July meeting of the Recre
ation Board will meet Monday the
17th at the Lyndon House at 6:15.
Out at Memorial Park, the pic
nic area had its biggest week of
the summer. Many groups, large
and small, came out this week to
enjoy the spacious and beautiful
surroundings of the Park in gen-
eral, and picnic grounds in par
ticular. No reservations are re
quired for small family gatherings
at Memorial, but for larger out
ings, the public fs asked to call
the Recreation and Parks Depart
' ment (phone 797) for reservations.
{ 'The Tennis court on the Georgia
| Power property on Boulevard has
peen the main meeting point for
Athens’ tennis players these last
| few weeks. The court is enjoyed
| each day, and is equipped with
| lights for night play. A coin meter
|is fed for night tennis. The charge
| is 25 cents per hour.
A new team has Jfoined the
Teen - Age Twi-light Softhall
League: it's the Union Church
'nine. The Leazue now has five
teams, and much interest has been
built uvn in the comnetition be
tween local teen-agers.
Over in the Municipal League,
third round play begins tomorrow
night at Legion Park. Post Office
is leading the Blue League and
Optimist Club has a hold on first
position over in the Red Loop.
One more round will be played
before the big tournament getsl
underway to determine the City
Champion, For full particulars on
sports in the Recreation set-up,
read the Banner-Herald sports
page.
Reports from the colored play
grounds of Athens show that this
summer has offered lots of in
teresting recreation facilities.
From the Fairview playground,
reports say that sack races and
rope jumping were highlighted this
past week. Contests are held each
week to determine the girl and
boy who are outstanding in over
all competition. |
At Broad Acres, softball wasl
stressed this week, with an inter
playground game between Broad
Acres and the Hancock play
ground. Hancock won by a score
of 16-6, and another contest is
slated for the coming week.
Many of the colored children
from the playgrounds have enroll
ed in the learn-to-swim program
over at Riverside Park each morn
ing. The swimming program
seems to be one of the top high
lights of the summer schedule.

“No,” Collins said. “But the
first thing is to stabilize the
situation. I am confident that we
can do that and that ultimately
they can be driven back.”
Collins said the United States
has flown in weapons and am
munition which he thinks will
be effective against fanks. Some
of these weapons, he said, are
already in the hands of U. S.
troops.
“Other effective anti-tank
weapons are being sent, includ
ing tanks,” he added.
But he said he doesn’t believe
any of the most modern’ Ameri
can weapons are in Korea yet.

roneous reports he said he had
heard that the morale problem
was causing concern.

U. S. Gets Rare Goat
From Crete (Citizens
BY ARTHUR EDSON
WASHINGTON, July 15.—(AP)
~The Marshall aid plan started
working in reverse today. The
grateful citizens of Crete have
given the U. S. a goat.
It's no ordinary goat, mind you.
This is a young and rare Agrimi,
or, as the scientists have nick
named him, a Capra Aegagrus
Cretensis.
Fortunately, this goat has an
other name that he prefers — Kri
Kri.
The story of Kri Kri was an
nounced today by the Economic
Cooperation Administration (ECA)
in two well-filled typewritten
pages.
It seems that the U. S. has sent
Greece $360,562,000 in Marshail
Plan aid.
Part of it—canned milk, sugar
and so on—found its way over the
twisting, mountain trails to Apan
anchori, a village in central Crete.
It was here, the ECA said, that
mountaineer Eftikios Protopapa
dakis had his great idea: why not
repay the U. S. for its kindness?
Why not give the Americans the
one rare thing they had, a goat so
rare it may the only one in cap
tivity?

DYER IS MOST SUCCESSFUL
PILOT
AP Newsfeatures
NEW YORK — Eddie Dyer,
manager of the St. Louis Cardinals,
has enjocyed more success as a pi
lot than any of his major league
contemporaries. In his 17 years as
a manager he has finished no
worse than fifth.
And that happened only once
when he ran Scottdale, Pa., in the
Mid-Atlantic League in 1929, his
second year as a pilot. He began
in 1928 at Topeka, Kan., in the
Western Association and his team
finished second.
Besides piloting his St. Louis
Cardinals to the National League
pennant and a World Series tri
umph over the Red Sox in 1946,
he has finished first six other
times.
He won two straight pennants
with Sphingfield, Mo., in the West
ern Association in 1931-32 and
rtook three straight flags with
Houston in the Texas ILeague,
1939-41. In 1936 his Columbus,
Ga., team won the second half
race and play-off in the South At~
lantic League.
Dyer will be 50 on Oct. 11. Aft
er winning the pennant in his
freshman year with the Cardinals
his team has been second the last
three seasons. The Red Birds lost
the 1950 flag on the final day of
the season.
ARABS IN ISRAEL
GET MORE PAY
TEL AVIV, Israel — (AP) —
Arab workers in the nearby Jaffa
port are earning nearly twice as
much as they did under the Bri
tish mandatory government of
Palestine which ended May 15,
1948. The Jaffa Portworkers
Union, with 110 Arab members,
has just signed a new wage agree
ment with the Jaffa Port Au
thority.
The Arabs’ pay is now the same
as that of 240 Jewish port work
ers, from $6.72 to $7.70 per day.
Under British rule, the Arabs re
ceived a maximum of $4 per day.
FILIPINOS SEEK :
GOOD PUBLICITY
MANILA — (AP) — Influential
American and Filipino business
men have teamed up to tell the
world that things are not as bad
in the Philippines as some people
claim,
They are alarmed by the bad
publicity this young republic has
been getting abroad, particularly
in the United States. So they have
formed the Philippine Association,
to seek better business conditions
here and to hire a ranking public
relations organization in the Unit
ed States to tell the “other side”
of the Philippine story.

owned Kri Kri, a goat about the
size of an antelope with an attrac
tive goatee and horns 131% inches
long,
Protopapadakis got KXri Kri
when he was just a kid. When
Kri Kri was a kid, that is. Proto
papadakis’s hunting dog grabbed
Kri Kri and held him until P,
could get there.
Kri Kri was two days old at the
time. P. is sure of this. A three
day-old Agrimi, he says, already
is too fast to catch.
Well, the villagers took up a col
lection to ship the goat to Amer
ica. It took quite a bit of collect
ing, the ECA says, for the ship
ping charges were 1,000,000 drach
mas. That's about $66 in Ameri
can money.
“A fortune in our mountains,”
said P. “It’s the best we can do.”
That was good enough for the
ECA. It arranged transportation
for Kri Kri—and Protopapadakis,
tco. They’ll arrive at LaGuardia
Field next week.
After two weeks in quarantine,
Kri Kri will come to the Wash
ington National Zoo.
Said Dr. W. M. Mann, zoo direc
tor:
“I'm delighted.”
