D. 1 AS ALWAYS IN CHARLOTTE IT’S Wood’s Drug Store YOUR HEADQUARTERS Home Economics Classes Visit Canning Factory The food classes visited the Char lotte Canning factory, Friday, Oct. 1 The tour started in the supply room. Many crates of raw spinach filled this room. They followed the process of canning spinach, through the aid of a guide. The spinach was put into a large cylinder made of coarse screen, that whirls the leaves around to shake out the dirt and small leaves. From the cylinder, It runs very slowly along a wide belt, where it is looked over by women. They pick out all the bad leaves and snap off the roots. This spinach is carried up stairs on a large belt and put into another large cylin- der. where it is washed. From here it goes into a large steamer to be steam- ed. A man removes the spinach from the steamer and puts it into a basket which in turn is emptied on a large table. Ladies put the vegetable into a ; can and weigh it. The can is filled with salty water. The can Is then sent ! to the capper where covers are placed on the cans. The cans are next taken to a cooker where they are processed. After they are processed they are put Into cold water and chilled. The girls watched the catsup-making process on the third floor. Tomato seeds are dryed at the fac tory. They are taken from the tomato and washed in a large screen cylinder revolving in water. They are taken from this to the drying building, which is across the road. Here hot air is blown through them until they, are perfectly dry. The girls all agreed that the tour proved to be very educational as well as interesting.

ORANGE BLACK Page 3 Charlotte Loses To Grand Ledge Orioles Unable to Withstand Blue and Yellow Drives Grand Ledge handed Charlotte their third defeat of the season Friday at Bennett park. So far this season Grand Ledge has won four straight games There's no getting around it. they've got a good team. Throughout the game they used a series of line plunges and end runs while the Ori- oles used end runs, line plunges, for- ward and lateral passes. Mux Tullls. regular quarterback, who missed out on the Mason game because of a sprained wrist, was out there making up for lost time Friday. Max says. Competition was getting so tough I had to get back. He also stated. The boys on both teams play- ed a good clean game.” Grand Ledge started the game by kicking to Charlotte. All through the first quarter. Grand Ledge promised an exciting game as they threatened Charlotte’s goal line consistently However. In the second quarter Cha lotte showed its efficiency and abllit as Tullis received Cheney's pass and ran IB yards for the first touchdown of the game. The extra point was blocked and the score was 6-0 in fa- vor of the Orioles at the end of the half. During the half, the band marched and added color and spirit to the oc casion. The Ledgers again kicked off to Charlotte at the beginning of the sec- ond half. Grand Ledge took the ball after Charlotte punted and ran it back to score a touchdown and jump ahead of the Orioles 7-6. The fourth quar- ter proved more exciting than the three previous periods because both teams were practically tied and want ed the next touchdown. During the early part of the fourth quarter Che- ney passed to Tullis who made a nice gain, putting the ball In the Ledger’s territory. After a series of plays. Charlotte fumbled and the Yellow and Blue recovered. From here the Grand Ledge gang started their final touch- down drive and Maguire scored his second touchdown of the game, mak- ing the score 14-6. It was soon after this play that the Orioles began a drive toward Grand Ledge’s goal with Malcolm Gobel Coach Gobel is now serving his third year as coach of the Orioles. His teams have been quite successful in every campaign. The coach came from Belding. where he had been coaching for six years. He attended Alma college before going to Belding. During the summer he went to the University of Minnesota for several weeks to attend a national coaching school. a series of passes. The fans got a thrill when Cheney passed to Ladd, who lateraled to Toutant, who in turn lateraled to Mayhew. The line-ups for the game were as follows: Charlotte Grand Ledge Ladd LE Klingman Shaffer LT Boyer Morey LG Barker Chandler C Gates Lea RG Hayes Reynolds RT Bouch Gordon RE Gilbert Tullis QB Blough Toutant LH Harrod Cheney RH Dixon Mayhew FB Maguire A. C. CHENEY Funeral - Ambulance Service Hospital Beds - Day-Night Both Phones JAMES B. CHURCH Oriole Feathers Injuries: The fatal word for the Charlotte football team. The list of casualties this year exceeds that of past seasons by far. It seems that every player on the team goes to the field limping or holding a rib. Max Tullis out with a sprained wrist. El- dred Toutant with a twisted knee, and Vern Reynolds with a shoulder injury, are the most serious. Others also ( have bumps and bruises but continue to hold their places in the line-up. . CHS The football players were movie j actors on the gridiron the other day. Dr. Charles Snyder, a cameraman, took pictures of different plays, pos- es. and tackles of the team. “Gable Ladd and “Taylor Toutant were the ; heroes. This pass combination—Cheney to Ladd- seems to be having quite an effect on visiting teams. It connected for touchdowns in the Coldwater and Ionia games. The only trouble is, the boys have not been able to hold the other teams to lower scores. Char- lotte now has that fighting spirit and will do its best to win the remain- der of the games, for the school. They should, if the team recovers from old man injury.” Oct. 15th - Hunting Season Full Lines of Guns. Ammunition and Hunting Licenses at R. S. Spencer Co.
