WASHINGTON (AP)—Play ball!
It won’t make t,ha Russians go
away. It won’: solve th; segrega-
tion problem; But it will taka our
minds oil our troubles — and
monopolize the attention of Amer-
icana as (ew other things do—
when the first pitch of tht World
Series foes whistline home plate-
ward at Yenkee Stadium tomor-
row.
Baseball may or may not still
be the national game. You can
get arguments either way. But
the World Series still is the World
Series. It’s the moat, the greatest,
tie only. Just try to neel the
American public away from the
TV screes tomorrow if you doubt
It.
There's magic in the very words
“World Series."
Where live* the American boy
who hasn't dreamed of stepping
ti »'ie o'ate in the l;*t of the
ninth, with the score tied And the
bases loaded, and two out of
course, end the series locked at
three and three—
Ah. the burning satisfaction of
that muck of wood m horsehic'e
. . . the rocket roar of that ball
no . . . j»s\ . .no in»o he stands.
Oh, shucks, let's make it right
n o,' th-' park. A boy can dream,
can’t he?
Plenty of Americans—loo many
some club owners say—cm take
'b-.seball or ler.ve it alone all sea-
son. But come World Series time
vho crn escape the fewer? Woo
wan:s to?
Overnight, e who'e nition of ex-
perts spring* up. Tiie woman who
couldn't have told you yscerdav
how many bares there rre will be
second-guessing Casev Stengel to-
morrow. Her husband, who never
can remember his license plate
number, will reci’e far you the
bitting average of half the Mil-
waukee players.
What i* there aboil th; World
Series that grips the American
imagination?
Can it be that the series is one
of the few annual landmark^ ^we
have left?
Summer pa-*"**, fall comes —*
it's, just a coj’ e of paragraphs
in the papers. Christmas? its rev
ligious meaning apart, isn't the
day pretty much lost in the shuf-
fle of shopping and partying?
Fourth „of July? We’ve made if
so safe and sane that few people
even listen to patriotic orations!
any more, mu :h .less shoot off'
skvrockets.
But the World Series? Ah, that
goes on forever—unchanging, in-
evitable ... the climax of a sports
year, the true end of a season.

NEW YORK w — This is the
iton' of tf nrn who retired at IT
-and now, at 44, la supremely
haopy.
And here is Peter DeMet’s for-
mas for succeeaful retirement:
“After three mo-itha, no back to
work—any knd of work!”
Pete, who is bhie-eyed and
s'ocky, has the eaev-going air of
e bom salesmen. He quit high
s’hoo' after h<s sophomore year
to sell cosmetic supplies on the|
road. Shortly after he was old
enough to vote he had hit. own

Then he piled up more money
as a rtr dealer and in 1*58, hav-
ing piled up enough, he quit work
forever—or so he thought. No ul-
cere for him, no living out of eill
bottles. Just long ploaiant years
of riahiag in the Florida sun.
“I thought I was young "enough
to retire and enjoy myself,’’ he
refs'led. "But I hid been working
seven days a week, and wouldn’t
stand ‘the letdown. It made me
jumpy.
"At the end of three weeks I

“At the end of three weeks I
was picking things off the floor
that weren't there. At the end of
four woe';* I was counting dust

of three month* I knew l had to
find somethin'; to keep me busier
orTd go crazy."
Just to keeo his mind oocupied,
P:Met boucht a small Pontiac
nency in Chicago—“»ll I really
panted was an office and a

world’s largest.
From there one thing led te an-

led the industry' to vote him bowl-
ir^’s “Man of th- Year.” He also
has boupht a $1,200,000 bowling
alley in Coral Gables, Fla.

How Con I?
By ANNE ASHLEY
Q. How can I make a filler for
floor cracks?
A. Make a paste of two cups of
four, one tablespoon of elum, and
three quarters of water. Soak
piaces of ntwipaper in this solu-
tion and boil well, stirring con-
stantly. Use a putty knife to fill

filled craclu will hardly be notice-
able.

previous labors can be repeated in full measure if we
redouble our efforts—beginning right, now.”
Action taken at the last session carries over into 1958,
however. This means that Congress faced the new year
in a position to move quickly on the bills on which par-
tial action was taken.
These include a bill to modernize federal budgeting
procedure*. It won unanimous approval in the Senate,
but ran into heavy opposition in th* House.
Citizens committee leaders throughout the country
are preparing for a peak drive in 1958 beginning with
an intensified program of home-front public informa-
tion and organization during the present fall months.
And in this campaign they should have the support
of all of us who want more economy in Washington and
lower federal taxes.

Financial statements of all hut one of Orange Coun-
ty's school districts (that one already has appeared in
The Leader) will be published this month.
Here are some yardsticks for comparison that you
can use in determining how your district comoares with
the rest of East Texas in expenditures for public school
purposes.
The East Texas Chamber of Commerce recently
completed a survey of independent school -districts in
th?*rea it serves and found these average costs per
pupil:

A Problem a Day
When i new swain asked Susie
for her telephone number, she
made (hit intriguing response:
"The sum of my telephone num-
ber’s four figures it my age. 24.
The first figure is three times the
third, and the second is two less
than the fourth, which, if you are
Mill interested, is one more than
twice the third.” What is her tele-
phone number?
Answer
9.137. Let X equal the third fig-
ure. Then, 3X will equal the first
figure, 2X plus 1 equals the fourth
figure, and 2X minus I equals the
second figure. Form equation by and the remainder working for
adding these, so that 8x equals firms or pirtnerships.

But Orangefield is one of th# county’s richer dis-
tricts and figures for most of the others won’t be any-

down together they’re going to add up to a strong argu-
