R. J. Chenoweth, pastor, speaking on participation by Methodist Men in the total affairs of the church, emphasized that no one should consider himself just a member-at-large of a church, but as a part of the whole program. The first requisite, he said, is a personal conversion, to be followed by information on the concern of the church for extending God's kingdom. Education is necessary, as Is an investment of one's self, including time, service and money.

"Your treasures are where your heart is also," the minister said, urging that the Methodist Men be vitally concerned. explained that today's duties of a minister extend far beyond those he once was expected to perform such as signatures. Signers to be eligible must have been registered in the ast general. election. The council approved on first reading an ordinance regulating water line extension within and outside the city limits.

Also tabled was the application of Joe Wimmer, Route 1., to open a used furniture store at Princeton Avenue and 7th Street, pending further investigation.

One source said lack of available facilities for the load of Friday and Saturday night games is one major reason so many of the principals are to the schedule limitation. "There aren't enough gymnasi-. urns to handle the Friday and Saturday night load," the source said. As for the proposal to curtail the holiday tournaments, the principals last year voted to permit the tournaments and to the events as only one against the regulation limit of 20 games. This actually permitted each school 22 games.

Some of the schools made money on holiday tournaments last winter and they didn't want to give up this source of revenue, one ob- server said. There some protests against the Christmas holiday and several schools were fined by the SSAC fpr failure ip obtain sanction from the association.

The Golden Bears, who won one and lost two contests in the Camp Lejeune Tournament last weekend, meet Baldwin-Wallace on the Boomer Diamond, Thursday; travel to Fairmont, Friday; and West Virginia University, Saturday. Talking about the Bears' play in the Camp Lejeune Tourney, Coach Dick Tredway said: "The boys were suffering from first game jitters at Camp Lejeune but they still played fair ball-most of the time. They made their mistakes in the early innings of the games." Tredway had high praise for Senior Charlestonian, Bobby Watson, who led the hitting parade in the tourney with 6 for 12 and hurled Tech's only win in the tournament.

Freshman Pete Kelley, a right fielder from Montgomery, also hit freely throughout the three contests Tech played Saturday and Sunday.

Cadet Tussle Slated Away LEWISBURG Greenbrier Military School Cadets, their own diamond not. ready for use, wfll play Clifton Forge High in Virginia instead of here on Thursday to open the baseball The Clifton Forge team win return the game here April 21.

Coach Dave Taylor, facing a 10-game schedule, has only two "G-men." Fred Herman, who will possibly get the call to pitch the opener, is one, and Doug McClung. another pitcher apt to see service Thursday, is the other. Pete Edmunds, also a pitcher, was on the squad last year and is agafn a member of the pitching staff. The starting infield may include Rod Harmon, of Beckiey, at first; Dom Garfuto at second, Tom De- Desare at shortstop, and Dick Sta- tucki at third. Either Tom Brown or Paul Williams win probably be behind the plate.

Handicapped by lack of practice, Coach Dave Taylor's comment when asked to name a starting lineup was "We'll just toss a coin for this first game Phfl Unruh, a good hitter judging by early practice sessions, may start in left. Dick Youngo will doubtless start in center, and Teddy Brown or, if he does not not pitch, Fred Herman, wfll be in right. Danny Bailey eligible for the zone tournament play, a youngster who won in that and competed in both District and the Grand Finals last year. Steve Lickliter is another good Lincoln mibster. The South Kanawha Street school has never had a district champion but feels this may be its year.

Coach Elgin Hall has a marbles ring indoors to give his soys the daily practice they need. District One's champions in the past have come from Morton Reaves, Teel twice, Mabscott twice, Cranberry, Central Elementary, Hollywood, Institute and Beckiey Junior 8th. Down through the years Lincoln has had some good mibsters, but none have come up with that coveted district crown. The champions at Lincoln since 1950 have been Jackie Miller, Earl "Jitterbug" Gilbert, Doff Farmer, Mfl lard Thurmond, Rodney Weikle, Jimmy Haga, Ronald Cimala, Eddie Lilly, Carlton White, along with Danny Bailey and Steve Lickliter. AFTER BASKETBALL Another thing holding up the marbles entries are the grade school tournaments.

Severa schools wait until they are out the way before planning i marbles tournaments and sendinj in the entry blanks. It is noted that Glen Fork Elementary recently won the basket ball title in Wyoming County and it is now hoped that Glen Fork absent for a couple years from the marbles ranks, wfll return again in 1961. With 43 schools under the wire wonder what school will be No 50 and which one will be the 100th to send in its entry. And again the reminder tha entries must be in by midnigh of April 19. School champions dt not have to be decided until Ma 11.

Zone tournament play wfll be conducted May 13 and May 2t and district championships open on May 27. Zones not heard from yet with the first entry are Five in Boon County, Seven in Mercer County Eight hi Richwood and vicinity Arizin Retires From Basketball PHILADELPHIA (AP) Paul Arizin, who couldn't make his high school basketball team but went on to become an All-America and a pro all-star with the Philadelphia Warriors, Wednesday announced his retirement. The 33-year-old veteran told owner Eddie Gottlieb of the Warriors he has accepted a full time job with a business firm. An AlI-American at Villanova and for nine years a star -with the Warriors, Arizin is the third highest scorer in NBA hlsloiy, with 13,560 points. He trails only lonroe County, 13 in Summers bounty and 16 in Webster County.

NATIONAL NEWS In the National tournament the emark was made here the oth- morning that cities of a mil- ion or more population have pro- ided only two of 36 national champions--Chicago, no longer an in the tournament, and Philadelphia. Detroit is another of the big cities expected to send in a iiampion for competition i 'ear. Oka Hester of Greensboro, the National Director, has een having correspondence with The Detroit News. For several years, Hester has been trying to interest the city in the world--New York City. He's still working.

The New York Daily News conducts its own mibs tournament, but lets marbles drop once a city cham- Dion has been declared. The Na- Director would like to get someone to sponsor the city champ to Wfldwood this year." Another city becoming interested in 1961 is Toronto, Canada. Still another possibility is that the National champion wfll win a trip to Berne, Switzerland, to show off his wares there and perhaps start some interest among foreign countries in the game of Marbles. MRS. KEATLEY'S WOES Mrs.

Gene Keatley, who has been able to offer genuine moon agates for sale in the past, now finds that the New York City concern that handled the taws has to re-stock any 12 in Eastern Greenbrier and Germany. not bothered more. But Mrs. Keatley has written to the New York concern's source in Germany for information and hopes to be able to get shipments direct from that country for sale here. Seems that no American firms handle the bright and gaudy moon agates any more.
