PERRY GETS GRANT !
forschoolbuilding!
A Federal grant of $65,900'
was approved Monday by thej
Federal Works Agency for a
seven classroom elementary
school for Perry, according to
message? received by County
School Supt. S. W. Hickson from
Congressman Steve Pace and
Senators George and Russell.
Tentative plans for the fire
proof building have been drawn.
The lot selected for its location is
adjacent to the Basketball court.
The building will be modern in
every detail, with concrete roof
to make it more fire-proof. Itj
will be centrally heated.
The first three grades of the'
Perry school, divided into two
sections each making six classes,
will be housed in the new build
ing. A principal’s office and a
store-room will also be included
in the building.
The increased population of
Perry and Houston county has
caused crowded conditions in the
schools and made another build
ing necessary.

The American’s Authorized Creed
v "
I believe in the United States of America as a government
of the people, by the people,for the people; whose just powers
are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in
a republic: a sovereign nation of many sovereign states, a per
fect union, one and inseparable; established upon those princi
ples of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which
American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes,
I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it;
to support its constitution; to obey its laws; to respect its flag;
and to defend it against all enemies.—-Written by William Ty
ler Page, clerk of the House of Representatives and accepted
by the House on behalf of the American people, April 3, 1918.

SOFTBALL LEAGUE NEWS
By G. FRANCIS NUNN
Tradition was almost l)ut not
quite upset Sunday, as the Blues,
winners of the first half cham
pionship. came within one in
ning of beating the league All
stars, but were finally downed by
a score of 8 (>. Not once in the
three seasons of play in the Com
munity Softball League has the
first half winner taken a fall
from the Allstars, selected each
year by the team managers in
mid-season. The first year, 1943
the Allstars squeezed out a 1-0
victory over Mgr. Albert Skellie's
potent Tigers—this being t h e
closest game of the series. Last
year, Mgr. Cloa Gray’s Parrots,
easy winners of the first half
race, were badly mauled by a
thoroughly aroused Allstar com
bination, the score being some
thing like 13-3. And this year,
with the schedule set up for two
games out of three, the Allstars
again rose up and captured the
first two contests to settle the is
sue quickly.
The first game opened with
the ’Stars scoring one time after
two were out in the first inning,
on hits by Staples and Peavy.
The Blues came right back in
their half asT. Lewis banged out
a double, Mgr. L. Bledsoe and F.
Satterfield followed with singles
and two runs were in. The All
stars tied the score in the third,
as Staples, Hardy and Peavy
again combined for -a run, but
the Blues were hot and crashed
through with three tallies in
their half the third to go ahead
by 5-2. Each team pushed across
another in the fourth and the
game rocked along until the last
inning without further scoring.
Then the Allstars’ real power,
bottled up for almost the entire
game by the superb pitching of
M. Beckham, finally broke loose
with two out, and before the
deluge was over, five runs had
crossed the plate and the ball
game was in the bag. Mgr. Rub
ber Pierce started the fireworks
with a single, then Massee,
Staples, Hardy and Peavy singl
ed in succession to push ip three
runs and tie the score, and with
two on, Glea Gray banged a long
triple to clean the sacks. That
was enough for the Blue's, as
they went out in order in the
last half the seventh.
The batting surge seemed also
to clip the wings of the Blues for
the second game, as they scored
only once in the first inning and
then subsided for the rest of the
game as the ’Stars went on a
rampage and lashed out fourteen
hits for a total of nine runs.
Hitting star for the day was
E. Staples with three hit in each
game, while Hardy and Peavy
each had a total of four hits.
Glea Gray was the extra base
sensation of the day as he smash
ed out a triple and two doubles —
all coming in sucessive times at
bat. Mgr. L. Bltdsoe led his
Blue team at b it and afield,rang-j
ing far and wide to rob the All
star batters of many potential
hits, and garnering three fo r
himself, definitely establishing
himself as the outstanding in
fielder of the league. Sorely
missed by the Blues was Sarge
Roberts, their pitching and hit
ting sensation of the first half,
and without whom, they looked
like just another ball team.
Next Sunday sees the begin
ning of the second half of play
• with the Reds and Greens open
ing in a single game, followed by
a double match between the
Blues and Browns. The outlook
' for the last half is exactly the
t reverse of the first from this
1 corner, with the Greens being
’ much stronger and being really
the team to beat, while the
Browns have also emerged as a
‘ force to be reckoned with. The
■ Reds, with Walker gone, will
have a struggle to break even,
while the Blues, with Sarge
slated to leave soon, will also get
some bumping around, But it
will continue to afford a lot of
j pleasure to players and fans
. alike, so be on hand for the fun.

LUMPS a RADIOS NEEDED B¥
RED CROSS FOR WHEELER
By MRS. HENRY SLOCUM B
The American Red Cross, in
more ways than most of us com
prehend, follows the American
soldier through all of the baffling
and confusing experiences that
may try him from the day he en
ters the training camp, until he
returns to his home, once again a
civilian citizen. He soon learns
that the Red Cross is vitally in
terested in him and his personal
problems and well being. It
brings something of home to him
when his loved ones cannot.
We have given some of our
money, many of us gave blood to
the Blood Bank and others have
given liberally of time and tal
ents in making it possible for the
Red Cross to reach out and work
effective v in distant places. Per
haps we have come to tKirik tod
much, that this great work is
done only in far off corners of
the world, and that there is
nothing more we can do.
Let me tell you of a few sim
ple needs that many of you will
be only too glad to supply, once
you know about them. All of
these items are for the recrea
tion of Camp Wheeler trainees.
When those men return to bar
racks in the evening after a hard
day’s training in the field, they
are tired, worn and possibly
homesick and discouraged. They
have neither the time nor the
energy to dress for appearance
at tha camp recreation center.
Recognizing the young soldiers
feeling, the Army has set aside
a number of buildings that could
be used as informal recreation
I halls, if they had the necessary
I equipment. It is estimated that
close to a thousand men would
use each of these buildings, if
they were equipped. There he
may drop in to write letters,
read, listen to music, play games
or maybe just shake the “heebie
jeebies” with friendly conversa
tion.
The Army cannot furnish this
equipment, and it would be diffi
cult for you to buy it. But,may
be you have in your home, an
extra lamp, radio or record play
er, any or all of which you would
be glad for these young soldiers
to enjoy.
In all there are needed 100
door lamps, 100 table lamps, and
at least 20 radios and 20 record
players. If they need such mi
nor repairs as war time restric
tions will permit, this can be
done with the help of others.
If you belong to an organiza
tion, how would you like to spon
sor one of these bleak recreation
halls? Equip it with such needs
as curtains, pictures, lamps,
games, writing tables, music and
i the like? Camp authorities and
the boys would welcome this
touch of home for a thousand of
their number, who are undergo
ing their first phases of rugged
military life and probably at the
same time their first pangs of
homesickness. This would be an
. excellent service project for some
, group—civic, social, church —to
undertake.
, If you cannot deliver the ar
ticles to the Red Cross at Vine
ville and Holt Aves., Macon, no-
