IT BRINGS MANY BENEFITS!
That softball has become a most popular sport for
players and spectators alike, recent crowds at the

aside from
the fun of it. softball is doing a great service for the
community.
Rosters of the six league entrants embrace some
90 youngsters and men not too old to try who almost
daily get out in the good, clean, cool evening air to ex
ercise and relax. The physical benefits of such variety
are hard to measure, but they most certainly are ot
importance to the health of many who otherwise would
get almost no outdoor exercise. The mental stimula
tion that the game affords also is good.
But more than that, softball centers the attention
and interest of the younger, formative generation on
wholesome, constructive effort and pastime. Half a
hundred growing boys are off the streets and into
supervised sport, while other dozens come to watch.
The moral benefits perhaps are as important as the
physical advantages of the games.
The beneficent school board and the sponsoring
business men who work together to make softball prac
tical and interesting are to be thanked by the parents
of Ashland. It is a good work and, what is more ap
pealing, swell fun.

MORE GOOD NEWS!
Reassuring as warm, late spring weather is, the
good fortune of young men of the community is even
more so. Recently Bob Hardy received his big oppor
tunity when he signed with the Detroit Tigers base
ball club, and this week it comes as good news that
Al Simpson, another popular young man hereabouts,
has been appointed to the junior high school coaching
position left vacant by Earl Rogers’ advancement as
principal of the school.
The selection of Ashland’s most efficient and very
popular Rogers to the principalship was greeted warm
ly here, and The Miner believes that Simpson will be
as happy a choice for coach. Like Hardy, Al has proved
his character and has worked hard for his objective.
That such deserving young men are being recog
nized at home and away brings satisfaction to those
who know them.

HERE COME THE BRITISH, BLESS ’EM!
The pomp and parade incidental to English royalty
seldom appeals to the average American removed from
the actual scene and because of this, some quarters
have suggested that the British rulers’ visit to this
country will never be repeated because the history
making tour will have injured international relations
instead of strengthening them.
Those who believe the monarchs should not have
come overlook the American appreciation of good
sportsmanship. For King George and Queen Eliza
beth have proved that they can take it. Strenuous
days of formal presentations and a rigorous, enervat
ing schedule of public appearances have been borne
graciously and happily by the rulers.
And Americans, lovers of ability, can do nothing
but admire the royal pair for the outstanding manner
in which they have handled their friend-making job.
We respect the monarchs, in true democratic fashion,
more for what they are as two fine people rather than
for their high station.
Long live King George and Queen Elizabeth—and
all good people who do their work so well!

A PROFESSION that can bring
out as many stories in book

calling. "Horse and Buggy Doc

"An American Doctor's Odyssy.”
"Oh Doctor, My Feet," "Consul

Mobilizes" and "Medicine at the
Crossroads" on the serious side are
some of the books that have come
out during the recent months
which were written by and about
doctors. No other phase of Ameri
can life is represented to the
same extent in the literary field.

The Bond club, organization of
top flight Wall street employes
has just held its annual picnic
where they take time off to get a
laugh at some of their troubles.
"The Bawl Street Journal,’’ a take
off on the dry conservative factual
Wall Street Journal, published for
this occasion, has just come our
way.
Here is what some of the ticker-
tape boys laughed at as published
by their own subsidized journal:
Fact Omission Brings Lawsuit:
Miss Ina Quagmire, 82-year-old
heiress who purchased a million
dollars worth of government
bonds, has just sued the broker
age house which made the deal for
misrepresentation. She maintains
that she should have been inform
ed that interest on the govern
ment's obligations was not being
earned.
Or in a letter to the paper:
Question. I have 510,000 to invest.
What would you recommend? An
swer. We would recommend that
you keep it a dark secret.
Lost: Brief case containing
$5000 par value Chilean bonds.
Finder can keep the bonds If he
will return the brief case.
However, the mimic advertise
ments gave the best laughs with
their exaggerated picture of lack
of business:
Clarke Dodge & Co.: Wanted,
office boy. Salary $16 a week or a
partnership in the firm.
Speyer & Co. advertised a lim
erick contest with 12 bottles of
beer first prize, $2.50 second prize
and a partnership for third prize.
Gracie Allen & Co.: If one of
our issues defaults we give you
three shots at the salesman.
Joseph Walker & Sons: We
could do a big business in govern
ment guaranteed railroad stocks if
someone would guarantee the gov
ernment.
