PELICANS EMPLOY BATS TO SAVE
ASHLAND GAME, 12 TO 10, SUNDAY
After two were out in the ninth, and it looked like Ashland was
about to repeat her early-season win from Brookings, the Pelicans
unlimbered their heavy artillery, and won themselves their filth
straight baseball game, 12 to 10. Four big runs were pushed over
in that mad scramble, with Jollie, Astin, Bob Westbrook, McLean
and Holzgang furnishing the explosive power. The Pelicans outhit

Smith Withdraws
From Dist. Board
Warren Smith, who has serv-
cd on the school board of Dist.
No. 17 for the past couple of
years,
resigned because of
pressure of other duties, he told
the Pilot late last week.
“I have been program chair
man of the Rotary club, on the
board of directors of the cham-
ber of commerce, and the school
board for a long time, and it
takes too much of my time.
Now, since that I am about to
build a house, I felt that I must
withdraw from something.”
Since the board will not con
vene in time enough to call a
special election before the sta
tutory 30 days, appointment of
P successor will depend upon Mrs.
Georgia Fromm, county super-
intendent, who will appoint for
one year, or until the next elec
tion next spring, late.
Mrs. Gladys Kinde! and A. P.
Hendricks are the other mem
bers of the board
