Covington Mill boys will be given their chance.

ington Mills.
A committee was selected at the meeting Saturday
norning to raise funds for the ball club this year. An
mateur night, negro minstrel and motorcycle circus are
► ome of the entertainment the committee has in mind to
>C ffer. Baseball fans who are interested in seeing Coving
on Mills boys play should co-operate with those in charge
if the Trojan club.
A This corner has always believed the idea could,
in some way, be put over to those in charge, that
winning baseball games isn’t everything. With a set
up like the Buford Shoemakers it is different. The
Allen boys want a top-notch team for advertising pur
poses. It is all right, too. Their baseball plant af
promising ball players chance to step ... into big
fords a Allen
time leagues and at the same time gives the
Shoe industry a tremendous amount of “free” adver
tising. With Covington Mills and other textile plants
it is different. The people that buy cloth from Cov
ington Mills don’t read sport pages. Baseball interest
in our county is not enough to sponsor a “bought”
team and therefore almost compels us to go into the
game strictly for the sport.
If local baseball fans will realize the fact that Cov- j
ington Mill boys want to play baseball and that they are
willing to give their “all” just for that chance, it is be
lieved that less emphasis will be put on winning. It is
I easy to look at this game of baseball in a sane manner, to
set it up as a character building game, health building and
a great outlet for honest, youthful energy.
If conditions prevent Covington Mills from put
i ting a winning team on the diamond this year, is it not
well that we really f>*t behind what talent we do have
at Covington Mill and give it a chance. Other textile
plants have found this method to work. Naturally, it
takes two or three seasons of playing together before
a fairly good team can be presented, but at that, you
have a team that will stick with you.
It has happened at Covington Mills just like many
I other textile plants have experienced. When ball players ;
are hired the there players is very hired little other to play work ball expected. and job In inside most j
the cases mill are of good a ball play-1 j
is supplied. There are plenty not)
ers that make good textile workers and this corner is
getting kicking ball about players the system is out but of knowing the question that with this way textile of J
plants right now we are trying to adjust our desires with i
”onditions. By all means, let’s have some kind of ball club.
The boys have already started practice. They
want to play ball and will do their utmost to win ball
games for Covington Mills. However, the fence needs
repairs and a little money must be raised. They are
planning to stage different types of entertianment in
an honest effort to get the required funds. It is left
to the baseball fans themselves as to whether Coving -
ton Mill hoys can enjoy the opportunity of playing
baseball for their own community.
Attend the plays and other entertainments given in
behalf of the baseball club. Our boys should have a chance
to play an honest, American game. Give them your sup
port and linger along while they are having their field
ing and batting woes for in just' a short time they will be
out there winning ball games. Your confidence in them
will go a long way with them right now.
Don’t let the boys down before they have had a
fair chance to show you something. In order for them
to play good ball they must work together for not one
season, but for several. Have they ever had the
chance ?
Before you start knocking the local boys for their in
ability to play smooth baseball go to the bottom and find
the reasons. Before good major league stars could play
under the big tent they had to make good in a minor
league. From some fast semi-pro team they went to the
minors and before they got the semi-pro chance they were
standout players on a smooth-working community team,
one that they probably played with several years. Yes,
■ur, it takes practice.
With the fans, players , manager and everyone
working in one direction, there is no way of failing to
have a better baseball team than we have had in some
instances, and at the same time have plenty of fun
putting our co-operative spirits to work.
This correspondent pledges his full co-operation so
long as it is received in good faith and with an honest
understanding. However, he has retired from active
personal work, but remains a faithful booster of Covington
Mills, Covington Mill ball players and the right to advo
cate rightful undertakings.

This week I have been read
ing an interesting treatise on the
use of color in the landscape by
F. B. Robinson in “Planting De
sign.”
Following are some worthwhile
points mentioned by the author:
“The effect of distance and
space is modified by the use of
color. Warm, advancing colors
press in upon the observer. Red
and yellow and orange come for
ward. Distance is lessened when
they are used. Space seems small
er. This would indicate the plac
in s of blue-green or blue or pur
pie in the distance, at the end, or
in the rear of b 0rc j erS) an ^ masses
of yellow-green, yellow, orange, or
or nearct
„ 5hadoWi
of a g r0 up likewise may be modi
fied advantageously. Trees and
shrubs of blue-green or gray or
silvery foliage can be so judicious
ly mingled and placed as tO in
crease the appearance of size in
an area. Such arrangements must
be subtly handled. Evident deceit
is objectionable and defeats its
purpose. Suggestion, not coercion,
is required. The farm and the cool
colors are opposite in their effects
as regards apparent space and dis
tance, and both modify area.
“The experience of the races
has shown that particular colors
produce particular moods or states
of feeling. From the red end of
the spectrum to the blue, from the
warm, stimulating, exciting, ag
gressive colors to the cool, re
served, calm, retiring colors, we
find almost every emotion aroused
or symbolized. The war colors
cheer, the greens soothe, the blues
are cold and distant. The quick
ening, enlivening, aspiring colors
stimulate and incite to action. Cool
colors depress and soothe and
lead to restraint. Their gravity
and dignity make on anxious,
susceptible, restless, whereas the
warm colors lead to liveliness and
noise. Cool colors are sophisti
cated and intellectual; warm col

ors are primitive and passionate.
The effects of color are more pro
nounced in some people than in
others. Scientists claim that prim
itive peoples are more stimulated
by color than are those of greater
sophistication. As opposites at
tracts, it is to be expected that
those persons with vivid, alive
personalities will be best pleased
by such color effects, such land
scapes, as are cool and quiet in
color, whereas those whose per
sonalities are retiring, cool and
calm will prefer colorful and
warm effects. In attempting to de
sign gardens and other landscapes
for various owners, the personal
ity of the owner will influence the
choice of color dominance and col
or harmony. Here personal pref
erences dominate in the choice of
plants.

bined is more than a mere mattei
of pleasure and enjoyment. It
tends to mental and physical well
being. Discord of any sort dis-

turbs the nervous system. Har
mony tends to promote sanity and
health. Visual stimulation is great
er and more effective than audi
tory sensation. If this were more
thoroughly understood, color har
monies, gardens, landscapes might
serve mental and physical health
as well as esthetic and emotional
feeling.
"The use of plants as a color
palette in the landscape involves
the cultivation and development
of a truer sense of color values, a
finer judgment of color balance,
a more real fueling for harmony
of color. We use color as the art
ist- does his pigment', applying
to all plant arrangements the
fundamentals of art. Thus the har
monious colors in our patterns will
eventually blend into their sur
roundings, yet form a beautiful
picture, and through all the sens
ations continue to exhibit that un
ity which is a vital part of good
planting design.”
