Page Twelve NEWS-TRIBUNE. BRITT, IOWA, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 5. 1951 Wrestlers Win Second Place At Eagle Grove Coach Dick Black's wrestlers wound up in second place Saturday at the Eagle Grove invitational meet with 25 points, one shy of tieing the winner, Clarion with 20. Algona finished third with 23 points. Only about half the Britt first stringers made the trip.

Injury and work kept Ray Bartek, Don Hiscocks, Paul Horstman, Burrell Buren and Joe Pavelka at home. Had they wrestled Britt's chances of winning would have been excellent. The Eagles did take four first places however, Dick Hanson winning in the 95 class, Gary Green in the 103, Dick Goyig in the 112 and Dean Hiscocks in the 154. Ron Meleney at 133 took second place. Each of the men wrestled three matches.

Mason City Wins In the dual match Wednesday night the Mason City Mohawks defeated Britt 26-16 after building up a 15-3 lead in the first four matches on three falls. Britt's Dean Hiscocks was the only Eagle getting a pin. He threw Calendar in 1:51. In the tightest match of the evening, Larsen of Mason City decisioned Burrell Buren 9-8. The loss gave Britt a 1-1 iccord in dual matches.

Britt's reserves won in the preliminary matches 17-12. Next match for the Eagles will be Thursday night here with Teachers high of Cedar Falls. Summaries: 95--Kline (M) threw Dick Hansen 3:57. 105--Berry (M) threw Gary Green 2:56. 112---Govig (B) dec.

Eagles Drop Game Friday To Kanawha The Britt high Eagles dropped a basketball pame 'Friday night on the local court to Kanawha 37-34 for their first defeat in four starts. The Eagles' ability to hit the bucket was practically null and void and Coach Waggoner substituted freely in an effort to find a "hot" combination.

Britt led 8-7 at the quarter and the two fives battled closely throughout the second period with Kanawha leading 20-18 at intei mission. Coming back in the thud period the Eagles had anything but an eagle eye-they scored only 3 points on free throws while the visitors picked up 9 points. With 4 minutes remaining Kanawha led 33-27 and although Britt began hitting a few shots, they couldn't close the gap completely. Kanawha showed an aggressive style of play that kept the Britt defense on the jump. Lyle Zeigler led the victors in scoring with 13 points.

Britt's play was spotty with Nick Papadakes turning in a good floor game, as did Duane Carman. Garman led in points with 14. Britt's second team also dropped a decision to the Kanawha seconds 34-28 in a hot battle. Loop Game The Eagles get into north Iowa loop competition Friday night when they travel to Buffalo Center.

5. Base WASHINGTON, D. new S. supply base at Leghorn, Italy which recently handled 1,200 debarking troops, is picking up a story where it ended four years ago. At that time the port was marked "exit" for the last of the homeward-bound American foices stationed in Italy during and after World War II.

Today, as then, geography helped dictate the use of Leghorn--Livorno in Italian--as a convenient distribution point. With one of the best harbors of the peninsula, this seaport is moi-e than 300 sailing miles closer to New York than are Germany's Bremen and Hamburg. It is also somewhat nearer than the northern ports to the American occupation zone in Austria, for which most of the lately landed troops were destined. In addition, Leghorn has the strategic advantage of offering a southern route into central Europe in case of northern blockade Its position on Italy's open west coast especially favors it over eastern possibilities on the Adriatic, where the relatively narrow entrance at Otranto Strait presents a potential enemy bottleneck Wartime Prize Leghorn was considered a valuable prize when it was captured by the Allies in July, 1944 The port had ranked after Naples and Genoa, with a daily shipping capacity of 17,500 tons In the struggle. Allied bombs and demolition by retreating Germans virtually wrecked the city and all its port facilities.

So complete was the devastation that incoming American engineers found it simpler to build a new port near by than to repair the old one Only an estimated 20,000 of Leghorn's 125,000 inhabitants then remained in the gutted town. By 1949, the city's population had passed UK: old maik and reached nearly 145,000 Although returning GI's find the town still battered, and American base officers complain that its silt-laden channel needs dredging to accommodate large ships, port activities are booming. Extensive shipbuilding has oeen 'resumed, and the Italian Naval Academy (Italy's Annapolis) is giving instruction despite treaty limitations on the size of Italy's navy. Old Commercial Center Ancient, canal laced Leghorn through the centuries has been preeminently a commercial center First mentioned in the 9th century, this Tuscany town came into prominence and prosperity In late medieval times as a free port for Mediterranean trade- Under the Medici, who built it up anql fortified it, the city gained a still-persisting international flavor when it invited there "men of East and West, Spaniards and Portuguese. Greeks, Germans, Italians, Hebrews, Turks, Moors.

Armenians, and Persians." Among the numerous and variegated industries of Leghorn, the visitor looks in vain for the' expected Leghorn hat manufacture. This fine-woven Tuscany straw is produced in Fiesole, a suburb of Florence. Like "Panama" hats, made elsewhere, Leghorns took their name from the port from which they were shipped. Farm Folk Prefer to Buy Feed Sold in Cotton Bags MEMPHIS--Farm folk prefer to buy feed in cotton bags. Surveys at four state fairs show this to be true.

Cotton bags, because of their reuse value, appeal to farm wives. Almost 2,000 women were interviewed at state fairs in Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, and California. More than 60 per cent of these women prefer that their husbands buy the 50 Ib dress print bag. They stood by this preference even when told that the cotton bag costs 15 per cent more than other type bags. More than 90 per cent of the women consider the dress print bag worth 20 cents to them.

They set the value of the bleached cotton bag at 17 cents, and the unbleached bag at 15 cents. HEALTH NEWS Division Public Health Education Iowa State Department of Health It's just a superstition that burned toast will make your hah curly--but it's the truth that breakfasts can make a difference in your appearance, says the Iowa State Department of Health. It is the American custom to eat three meals a day--although some Americans try to do it in two by skipping breakfasts. Mrs. Helen Lovell, nutritionist with the 'Iowa State Department of Health, says that many tests have, shown us how breakfasts contribute to working ability and good health thioughout the day.

Mis. Lovell recently rejoined the nutrition service of the state department. The food you eat at breakfast should provide from one-fourth to one-third of your daily nutritional requirements, says Mrs. Lovell. "Without an adequate breakfast you have a mid-morning slump, your reactions become slower, normal alertness and the ability to learn lessen perceptibly," she adds.

Adequate amounts of the essential nutrients help put color in your cheeks, make your skin soft and moist, and affect its general tone. Food, properly selected, adds lus- tre to your hair, sparkle to your peisonahty and enhances your good looks generally. A good breakfast pattern to follow, says Mrs. Lovell, consists of fruit or fruit juice, especially citrus fruits, some form of protein dish such as an egg or breakfast meat, whole wheat or enriched bread and butter, and a glass of mi'k. Coffee may be added to this, but it should not renlace milk.

Attorney Denies Mussolini's Body Returned to Family ROME, Italy--The body of Bemtc Mussolini has no', been returned to his family, the attorney for his widow has declared, because "the living are afraid of the dead The attorney, Italo Formichella, a friend of II Duce during the last two years of tha Facist regime, denied that the body was to be returned for burial in the hometown cemetery at Predappio. The whereabouts of the body is unknown After he was slain by partisans, Mussolini's body was buried in a Milan cemetery, but was later stolen and taken to Pavia. The government recovered it, however, and buncd it in a secret place to prevent another theft. Your Birthplace Your present stature in the community, economic status and professional standing may be due indirectly to the geographical location of the town in which you were born This is the opinion of Dr.

Stephen S. Visher, professor of geography at the University of Indiana. Prof. Visher reported on a detailed study of leading Americans born and reared in Indiana, in which he found that more leading scientists were born in certain sections of the state than in other sections. Included in Prof Visher's survey were educational administrators, authors, artists, engineers and distinguished business men.

"One large section of thr state having a population of about 200,000 yieldec only one such scientist while another part of the state with no more peojle yielded 20." he declared 01 the dozen most famous authors in Indiana, almost all came from less than one-fifth of the state, which at the time the authors were borr contained less than one-fourth ol the state's population, according tc Prof. Visher. The English Harsh Romney will produce 12 kilos of long staple or 30 pounds. This type vool is often called the best In the world. The industry specializes in the famous English Marsh Romney sheep which pioduces, according to many experts, the finest long staple wool in the vorld.

Today Chile has a'total sheep population close to 7.000,000 head. Three quarters of the nation's wool crop--about 15,000 metric "tons--goes to the United States England gets the remainder. Farm Worker Crop Output Triples in Fifty Years Fifty years ago a farm worker produced enough food for himself and five other persons. Today the crops raised by a single worker are sufficient for 15 persons. Altnough machinery has had much to do with this spectacular productivity record, a major factor is the expanded use of fertilizers The nation's farms last year consumed 18,346,132 tons of soil food--six times as much as in 1901--at a cost of At the turn of the century 265 million acres of crop land, tilled by 13 million faim workers, were needed to supply the crops required by a population of 76 million.

Now 10 million workers produce from 345 million acres of land the food required by twice as many Americans, as well as thousands of persons in other countries. Agricultural authorities say that the use of fertilizer is responsible for roughly one-fourth of the volume of all crops. The use of fertilizer is expected to continue upward for an indefinite period.

Madrid The golden age of Spain's power and westward colonial expansion was in full swing when Madrid became the official seat of Spanish government Through subsequent downs and ups.

wars and peace, the capital has continued to grow and develop. Today it is the nation's largest city, its chief rail and air junction, a hub of inland commerce and industry, an archbishop's see, and the center of Spanish culture. Life in Madrid drifts and eddies about its hundreds of cafes and taverns. Swank or humble, they serve Madrid's population of nearly a million and a half as offices, clubs, forums or trysting places HAVE A BETTER KITCHEM The only way to have a better kitchen is to plan for it. Even if you're considering only the purchase of a cabinet sink, it's a good idea to know how that sink will fit into further modernization that you might want to do later.

DO don't select tiie new sliuv willy- nilly. Make it part of an over-all plan, though that plan may at the moment seem only a happy dream. Planning can be fun. You can do it yourself by studying the literature that kitchen equipment makers are happy to provide. Or, ask the dealer from whom you buy the sink to help you plan the entire kitchen, using the sink as a starter as by Youngstown Kitchens Planning Service.

Then, when the time comes that you can take a further step toward completion ol the entire plan, you'll be sure that the units will fit and will be placed to do the most good. Remember that it is best to concentrate counter work surface and storage space in the sink area, because it is here that the homemaker spends so much of her kitchen time. With this in mind, select the cabinet sink that best fills this bill of particulars--and fits your budget, too. You'll find many models and sizes that will do the job. If your family is large and dishwashing is a problem, a double bowl sink is recommended for it will speed up the job and make it easier.

If base cabinets are to be placed beside the sink, you can afford to choose a sink without drainboards or with a single drainboard. If no cabinets are planned, choose one with two drainboards so the needed work surface will be available. Production of liquefied petroleum gas (bottled gas) in the U. S. now exceeds a million barrels a day.
