He was all the gays in the world who ever pulled out of obscurity to become big leaguers. The Babe grew up to become the biggest* best, hardest hitting, most colorful baseball player on earth. Lis unforgettable diamond career began with the Baltimore Orioles when he was still an open-faced, over­ grown boy (inset). He reached the climax cf his baseball life in the third game of the Yankce-Cubs world series on October I, 1932. With two strikes on him and the Chicago crowd hccklmg him, the Babe pointed to the center field wall. Then he hit the next piLh past the flagpole. This picture, from Esquire magazine's “ Great Moments in Sports” series, captures the simple but dramatic faith in himself that made Babe Ruth an American idol. THE RAINS CAME AND THE BRIDGE WENT . . . Only the rails and ties survived when floods swept away this railroad bridge in Berwickshire* England. Torrential summer rains caused overflowing of riv­ ers and streams and inundated more than 1,000 square miles of northern England and Scotland. Hundreds of families were forced to evacuate their homes. Ripening crops were ruined in many localities and rail­ roads, like this one, were put out of commission. Total result was an additional severe strain on the al­ ready overstrained British economy. A t the Courthouse Sentence Suspended Warren Carlin, Xtr.Ia cited be­ fore Common Pleas Ju !g - I:.

Road Markers BeingInstalled Four tons of road signs arriv­ ed last week and will be placed at the more than 500 road inter­ sections throughout Greene county. Only intersections which will not be marked in the next sever­ al weeks are those on Ankeney Mill or Fairground road. A l­ though tax maps list the thor­ oughfare as Ankeney Mill, the same name attached to the road inside the city of Xenia, some of the residents have disputed this name, preferring , instead Fair­ ground road. Until the disagreement is set­ tled, County Engineer Frederick R. Lemcke said the highway will not be marked. No signs, of course, have been ordered. Delivery of the metal signs, with black letters on a white background, was made by the Grote Manufacturing company of Bellevue, Ky. County workmen are assembl­ ing the signs prior to attaching them to the tops of posts which already have been placed. The job if placing the sigus should progress rapidly, it was pointed out. Only a two-man crew was need­ ed to place the iron support posts in three-foot, holes of concrete at the 521 inter-sections of county roads, except inside municipal­ ities. Engineer Lemcke said more men could be assigned to finish up the road-marking job before cold weather as road improvement jobs slacken. 50-50 DANCE The Clifton Firefighters’ asso­ ciation will hold a 50-50 dance at the Clifton opera house, Saturday evening at 8:30.

Prior to the center, and during the war years, the base was used as a glider installa­ tion. As the date approaches for the celebration of. Air Force day on September 19th, at which time the All-Weather Flying Center will hold open house for all guests it is important to note that the Clinton County Air Force Base, Wilmington, Ohio, is one of the most important experimental sta­ tions maintained by the air force. It is here that the air force has assigned experts in weather an­ alysis as related to the flight of aircraft. Planes, today, have reached the stage of development where one of the few remaining obstacles to be conquered is the weather and how to fly safely in all weather. The All-Weather Flying Center has developed the famous “push­ button” plane and its completely automatic flight. This plane has flown all over the United States jn completely automatic flight, as well as the spectacular flight to England over the Atlantic, during which hazardous hop no human hands touched the con­ trols from take-off to touch down. Here, too, are based the.planes, maintenance crews and pilots who maintain and fly the all-weather airline. The equipment assigned to the airline is but four C-RCs and yet for two solid years, the airline has made flights five days a week on schedule without a single cancellation due to weath­ er. A 100 per cent safety record also was established over those two years when the airline car­ ried 14,800 passengers 45,300,000 miles without accident. All of the equipment, planes and ground fixtures will be open to the public on Sunday after­ noon, September 19th, when the Bluefield, W . Va., the “air- conditioned” city, serves free lemonade evei’y day the ther­ mometer goes to 90. It has been done twice in 1948, a record. Numbeer 39 PlanGalaDay AtParkHere OnMonday Featuring a balloon with •a double parachute drop, the Pro­ gressive club of Cedarville have planned a giant old-fashioned La­ bor day celebration to hc held at Community park, Cedarville, ac­ cording to Vincent Rigio, general chairman of the event. Claude Shaffer, noted dare­ devil, will make the balloon ascen­ sion and thrill the crowds with a double parachute drop from 5,000 feet in the 'air. Shaffer still uses the old-type balloon and employs the ancient method of “ gassing” his balloon with old-fashioned pot-bellied stove of gas generation. As always, this type of gas filling a balloon is very dangerous hut Shaffer believes that the ex­ tra amount of precaution that he demands has saved him and his helpers from any serious accident over the years. Records indicate that this will be the first ascension of this type of balloon in over 25 years in this vicinity, _ Crowds from a radius of 100 miles of Cedarville will pay Cedarville a visit Labor day just to see this one attraction. A full day’s schedule of inter­ esting, entertaining and fun-mak­ ing activities have been planned to make it an enjoyable day for the visitors. In the morning, ■children will take over in egg throwing, sack race, races and other fun contests. The afternoon will hold forth with exhibits from hobby enthu­ siasts, merchants and other inter­ esting displays. A baseball game, featuring theCedarv ille nine, managed by Roy Cozier, will play an outstanding baseball club and the eloso of the afternoon ac­ tivities, the Cedarville high school bund will give a concert. After a picnic dinner on the grounds, the evening’s schedule calls for a “championship” horse­ shoe pitching exhibition and then the high school hand will give an­ other concert. Following the concert, the rest of the evening will ho devoted to dancing until the celebration draws to a dose. The dance selied* ulc calL: for a 50-50 so all types of dancing can 1e satisfied. Practically all the male popu­ lation of ( , file and most of the female have volunteered to aid in the biggest celebration ever planned forfGuWvlU.e. Over 200 concession stands will be-erected in the pnrlc.tb trans­ form one corner into a'giant mid­ way to vie for the e'ustom’ers’ interest.

They will, he just for your education. Committee: Mrs. Paul Cum­ mings, Mrs. R. W . MacGregor, Mrs. H. L. Pickering, Mrs, Harold Reinhard, ''Mrs, Fred Wilburn, Rev. Paul II. Elliott, Rev. R. A .
