Lefty Bryant, Whitharral south-

an 11-5 decision over the Frenship
nine almost singlehandedly in a
schoolboy baseball game Tuesday.
Bryant got four hits for five
times at bat including a lusty homer
with three men aboard, a double
and two singles.
Whitharral made five misplays In
the field, but some lusty clouting
more than made up for them as
Bryant held Frenship to four scat-
tered hits.

For Sugar
MILWAUKEE, Wis.—At
one person in Europe has silk stock-
ings to trade for such rare items as
sugar. Postmaster John A. Fleissner,
learned here recently.
The postmaster said he had re-
ceived a letter from a woman In
Italy who offered the stockings
for sugar and that other letters
from abroad had indicated that
people were out of ration coupons.
One man in Amsterdam, Hol-
land, he said, wrote for shoes,
while several in England had
asked for food shipments. Fleiss-
ner said he is not sending any-
thing, but would write to the woman
in Italy and inform her that sugar
is scarce here too.

BOSTON, Miass.—Any crusader
Jg politics should have the hide of
PB elephant and the wealth of
CpMoua, Mayor Curley told report-
40 for the Harvard Crimson
weentiy.
The reporters had queried
aa to his opinions on
giMM entering politics. ~
Jut Approach, said the mayor, is
“join up with the majority
ptrty,” but in and aside to regular
atty hall reporters he added: “If
1'4 been a Republican, I’d never
have had any trouble at all.”
After describing politics as “prob-
•Wy the most interesting and fas-
cinating work a man could do, the
Che mayor warned; "If a man en-
tering politics escapes jail, he winds
yp tn the poorhouse.”

Hockley county ranked second
from high in the number of traffic
deaths during the first four months
of the year with three. The traffic
fatalities report was made in the
21-county Lubbock district Tuesday
by Capt. E. L. Posey, commanding
officer of the area for the Texas
Department of Public Safety.
In the entire district 21 deaths
were reported, rising above the 19
announced for the same period in
1945.
“More disturbing,” Capt. Posey
said, “are the possibilities that
the startling increase in fatalities
will go even higher with the va-
cation season, which is expected
to hike traffic by approximately
25 per cent.”
Capt. Posey said Lubbock coun-
ty was first in the number of
deaths the first four months of
this year, with six. Hockley and
Terry counties were second with
three each. Kent was third with
two, Howard, Hale, Gaines, Mar-
tin, and Dawson bracketed
fourth place with one each.
‘"that leaves only 12 Counties
of the district with
traceable this year to traffic acci-
dents. Bailey, Lamb, Floyd, Mot-
ley, Dickens, Crosby, Cochran,
Yoakum, Lynn, Garza, Borden,
and Andrews.”
The officer said that the present
rate would topple the 1945 total
' of 51 traffic fatalities for the dis-
trict, "and we face a dangerous
vacation travel peak. Persons
kept at home in war years will
want to get out to favorite vaca-
tion spots.
“They will clutter the roads,
probably will drive faster and for
longer periods than are safe over
roads they are ill acquainted with,
hot pavement will affect tires;
some motorists will drag trailers
too heavily loaded or loaded out of
balance. Dangers cannot be mini-
mized when traffic increases to
such an expected load.
“In addition crowds will be on
the roads en route to rodeos and
ball games, and such entertain-
ment reborn after the war.”
Capt. Posey asked, “in the name
of protection to all,” that everyone
be careful and observe every safety
precaution possible.
