*he Gramcl Saline baseball nine went down to
it at the hands ol Ore City last Sunday in
le play offs for the championship of the Upshur
League. However, despite the fact that there will
Ik* no championship this year for the local team,
1062 has been a successful season in that it mark-
ed the return of some good baseball to Grand
Saline.
&•. Players and managers of the team are already
making arrangements for next year. An applica-
tion for membership has been submitted to the
Oil Belt League, which has the reputation of be-
Ing a stronger league than the Upshur League,
lllost of the players on this year’s squad have ex-
pressed a willingness to play next year, and in
addition several other good ball players have said
they will be on hand next year to play for Grand
Saline.
Baseball is a good sport and a needed one in
Grand Saline, both for our youth and adults as
well, for baseball season is in the summer when
all other school sport activities are non-existent,
and the sport offers a needed athletic program
jplus an additional outlet for the amusement of
spectators.
dine now has the players and the in-
terest to support^ baseball program next year.
^However, both sports equipment and grandstands
.. . >
Many towns smaller than Grand Saline have
Xound ways to finance the cost of a baseball field
I,,, and stands. Grand Saline also can find a way.
And, it is not too early to start steps towards pro-
qood field for what promises to be a
n next year.
To ^X/in is Not Most Important
! Football season officially arrives for this area
Friday when Grand Saline tangles with always
tough Mineola.
From all appearances and barring no serious
injuries, a good year lies ahead for the Indians
who have 11 lettermen returning plus a host of
B team players from last year.
Texans take their high school football more
seriously than in any other state. In fact, many
Texans, including many Van Zandters take their
fiieh school football too serious.
High school football is an educational amateur
sport. Its primary purpose is to build character
and build bodies. As a game, football is ideally
Suited to do both. Football has in the past and
will in tlm future make good men out of boys by
»mot onlv conditioning and building stronger bodies
*hut bv instilling those all important character
• traits of rood snort-I'vinshin, leadership, team
work, courage, and t-nuina.
The secondary pv.; pose of football is to win.
We all .like to win in anything we do. hut, to win
"ifi high school fnotha'l is not the all important
thing. NTo high school football win is worthy or
desired if it. is won by poor sportsmanship or by
intentional iniurv to an opposing player.
;Bo.vs who play high school football nearlv al-
ways play a hard but clean and fair game unless
they are unduly incited to play otherwise by
grown up aduH-u vho would win at any cost.
Ax! a. t spectators can make or break present
high school football, all by the attitude in which
they accept the game and the control which they
••exercise over their emotions. We need more yells
from the spectators for good sportsmanship and
in recognition of good plays, even if from the op-
Hd
idle
“do
TON
ling to win.
■
Grand Saline will have a good team this year.
Let's hope that the Indians have equally good
fans and that the 1962 football season will not
only record many touchdowns and many wins,'
but also much good sportsmanship.
Motor Vehicles Still
Being Safety Inspected
Automobile owners who were un-
able to get their cars inspected
the deadline, Sept. 6, may get
the'll! cheeked to comply with the
law even though the deadline has
passed.
Last Saturday was the last day
an automobile could be legally
operated without an inspection
sticker,” Captain Guynes of the
Motor Vehicle Inspection Divi-
sion announced today. Cars, trucks,
busses, large trailers, motorcycles
and motor scooters operating after
the 6th of September without an
inspection sticker are operated il-
legally until an inspection sticker
is displayed on them.”
He urged that all motorists com.
ply with the motor vehicle inspec-
tion requirements as soon as pos-
sible to avoid the chance of ar-
rests.
Inspection stations are instructed
by their manual to continue in-
spections until such time as they
receive further instructions to sus-
pend operation on the present in-
spection period.

Not Many Texans
Appeal Dfaft Board's
Decisions Since 1948
Not many young Texans quarrel
with their draft boards when they
get those decrees from thc'ii
“friends and neighbors”—at bast
they never get to the appeal stage.
Only about one-half of one pfV
cent of the men classified by draft,
boards in Texas during the past
four years have appealed their*
cases to state appeal be.ards.
The official record, beginning
with inception of the Selective
Service Act in June 1948, through'
the present time, shows that, out
of a total of 665,041 men who have
been classified, only 8,657 appealed
from local board decisions.
Out of these 3,657 appeals, ap-
peal boards retained 2,033 men in
the class subject to military serv
ice. The remainder, were classified
in deferred classes.
Only 44 cases have been appealed
to the President of the1 United
States from Texas during the four
years of the draft operation. The
local boards were upheld in 21 of
these cases.
Any man may appeal from de-
cision of a lo-al board if he does
so within 10 days after classifica-
tion is mailed to him. If the state
appeal board renders a split deci-
eion, the case may be appealed to
the President.

tt te’ll (ell you th; answer to that one —
W it’s the figures on the price tag.
For some reason, lots of people just can’t
believe they can buy a Buick at a price so close
to “the low-priced three.”
Maybe it’s because a Buick seems so much
better and bigger.
Maybe it’s because they think Buick has so
much more power and room — which is true.
Maybe it is because so many distinguished
people own Buicks—which is also a fact.
But the fact remains-// you can afford a new
car, you can own a Buick — so let s see what
you get.
You Ret the thrilling power of a Fireball 8
Engine, that’s a gas-saving high-compression
valve-in-head-as much power as you can get
in cars costing $300 to $400 more.
You get as much room as you’ll get in cars cost- jf
ing hundreds of dollars more.
2-door, 6-passenger Special Sedan.
You get a ride that cost an honest-to-goodness
million dollars to develop.
You get the silken smoothness of Dynaflom
Drive.*
Y6u get big-car comfort, styling, durability.
Don’t take our word for it. Come in and see
for yourself why so many folks are stepping
up to thisj great car this year.
