Bilko Smashes 50th
Homer as LA Loses;
Portlanders Divide
SPORTS
By SCOTT BAILLIE
United Pri Sporli Writer
If Steve Bilko intends to break
Tony Lazzeri's Pacific Coast
league record of 60 home runs
the Angels' baby-faced "bomb'
had better get started.
Bilko clubbed his 50th round
tripper of the season Sunday
while Los Angeles was splitting
a double header with Seattle. He
now has 24 games left in which
to hit the 10 which would dead
lock the late "Poosh-'em Up's"
mark or 11 to smash it.
It sounds easy, especially as
he is facing the close fence to
night In Portland for a starter
But cold figures indicate that
he has hit for the circuit on an
average of one every three
games and if he keeps this ratio
for the next 24, he'll fall short
with a total of 58 for the year.
In addition to having to better
that pace, he only has nine more
games to play In Wrlgley field
which Is duck soup for his type
of blasts.
Balcana Homer Wins
Bilko homered for number
SO Sunday with the bags depopu
lated as the Angels lost to the
Rainiers. 8-5, in the opening
game. His clout was overshad
owed by a thre -run homer off
the bat of Bob Balcena which
meant victory for the Suds.
But Gene Much smacked his
20th homer of the year in the
ninth inning of the extra-frame
nightcap to earn Los Angeles a
2-1 victory and keep the league-
leaders 14 games ahead of lag
ging Seattle.
Vancouver Inaugurated Sun
day baseball in its home park
by splitting a double header with
Portland that almost boiled over
into a genuine pitchers battle
during the first game. The
Central Tips
Snake River
Ontario (U.PJ The Central
Oregon all-stars, getting touch
downs from Redmond's Don Mc-
dure and Dale Shumway of
.Prineville, scored a 14-6 win over
the Snake River valley stars here
Saturday night.
The Central Oregon squad
pushed across touchdowns in
each of the first and final quar
ters while the Snake River club
managed to score only once,
that In the second quarter. Tater
Smith of Vale romped into the
end zone for the Snake River
valley score.
Matched in the game, the third
annual Elks charity contest,
were top high school stars from
the two sections.

ington Park, Calif.

tance on the hill for Huntington

an unearned run in the seventh

Tulsa, Okla., in the day's opener.

Comment On This and That
Br HARMAN W. NICHOLS
UnMed Press Feature Writer
Washington (U.R) A lot of
dads are fretting this season,
when they should have done a
- -thinkina: Ions'
ago.
Plain fact is
that it takes a
cons iderable
stack of long
green to fi.
nance a boy or
girl in higher
learning.
A U ... X .1
Uirmu MCHOII " " " me
least a pop can figure on to send
one kid through college is $1200
a year, and that doesn't include
dough for any smokes or cokes.
If the young hanker for the Ivy
League or some of the fancy
women's colleges, the old man
can figure on digging up from
$2,500 to S3.000 a student or
more depending on the tastes
in furs and tweeds.
Graduates Earn More
The financial advantage to a
college education is this: Statis
tics show that the college grad
in a lifetime earns an average of
$265,000. A high school grad can
plan on only $165,000. Some il
literates run above these aver
ages, but striking oil or hold
ing a winning ticket on the
Irish Sweepstakes depends most
ly on luck.
Some bright kids get help
from scholarships, but there
aren't enough to go around. And
most of them don't pay the whole
tab. And girls don't make very
good varsity quarterbacks. Also
scholarships for playing of the
bassoon and the flute are lim
ited to the best of the class in
bassoons and flutes.
Of course there's, the where 1
there is will there is way
school. A lot of self-made men
and women have helped to
father their own education. Push
ing a broom or washing a dish
in exchange for a bowl of soup
and a small steak never did any
body in. I'm not exactly self-
made, but if I never wash an
other dish I claim I'll be a cou
ple of furlongs ahead of most
housewives. I washed dishes in
the University of Iowa Hospital,
which owned a lot of crockery.
Today, there are about 700.000
college students who have out
side jobs.
It isn't easy to work and study,
but a diploma seems to mean
something.
Pay As You Go
Today, there is also an Install
ment or pay-as-you go plan to
educate youngsters. Education
can be bought just like you fi
nance a house or a car or a
vacuum cleaner.
If pop wears a hunted animal
look it is understandable. Since
1940, not too long back, the over
all cost of one year of college
has doubled tuitions, keep and
the like.
Even if dad pays by the less
painful monthly plan, he still has
to pay for everything. Every
thing runs into a multitude of
things like books, fancy clothes
and money to take the gal friend
to a flicker.
Clothes didn't mean much in
my day, except for maybe rent
ed formal gear a couple of times
a year. Most days we wore work
shoes and baggy trousers. A
crease in the pants attracted
stares.
But that was a long time back.

housewife
A tribute to the American housewife
"Just a housewife" is a term we hear too often. That's about Hke
iaying "just a doctor" or "just a company president." The job you're
doing as a housewife is one of the most important anybody is doing
in America today.
Who is mainly responsible for your family's health?
It's you the housewife. And our fine national health record testifies
to the good job you're doing on this score.
Who sets your family'1 s standing in your community?
You do". You not only create an attractive home for your family
and plan the entertaining, but also make most of the outside social
contacts in church, club and community. How far would the charitable
operations of these groups get without your help?
And your family's financial standing depends as
much upon your ability to manage money as it
does your husband's ability to earn it. Your family
savings program is as much your responsibility as it is your husband's.
That's why so many women today are urging their husbands to
invest in U. S. Series E Savings Bonds. They know that the principal
invested in Bonds is safe not subject to market fluctuations. And
the returns are sure an average 3 interest, compounded semi
annually when held to maturity (9 years and 8 months). With the
automatic extension privilege, Bonds will eootinne to pay that same
high interest for 10 years more. That means iJ80 in returns for
every 11.00 invested.
Remember, you cm help your family win financial security tomorrow
by encouraging your hatband to invest regularly in Satmgs Bonds today.
And the next time you hear someone say "just a housewife," stick
up your chin and speak up for the job you're doing. Where would
your family or your country be without yon?
