almost like an elder sister to them
! Well, our conception of an elder sis

is that she is the one who has the
scenery that is coveted d can De
persuaded to loan it,
J AS for US, our favorite motion pic

never heard of her? Well, neither did
we. and that's the reason.
There are thousands of people.
writes Norman Dixie, of Casco, Me-
the majority of which do not live
where they. can testify by voting for
him. who love the big heart and free
soul of Robert NJ. La Toilette with
all the passion they are capable Of
which is a good DEAL
| We wish to be as fair to Senator La
| Toilette as we are to anybody else
\ We ask Mr.. Dixie TO name twenty per-
sons who love the senator with all the
passion of which they are capable.
/ Wen do better than that; We'll let
him off if he'll name six such per-
sons.
Not that we question Mr.. bikes
ability to do so. We merely think it
would be interesting to know who
| they are.
Those who follow the agonizing de-
| tails of our everyday existence as they
are elucidated here-and who does
not will be interested to learn that
on Thursday night we again sought to
emerge from Paramount Park by way
of the roadway lying contiguous to
the desired exit only six or seven
blocks. Our Workmanship improves;
we used to miss it a mile.
However, our desire to locate the
roadway in question is only an Incl
dental ambition. Our real ambition is
to drive thru Paramount Park without
being stopped by guard.
Moral: Don't Step on the Ball.
Sir-I have just returned from a
| long journey and hasten to express my
| regrets that I did not quote Rule II,
paragraph 3, on recent occasion,
with the result that you did not know
whether to laugh or to cry. In a mo-
ment of thoughtlessness L took il for
granted you, being Il golfer, would
know the rules, and that you. being a
newspaperman, would have no diff
| Guilty in learning the rules from your
own golf writers. OF course, I realize
both these assumptions were perfectly
ridiculous. Accordingly, 1 quote the
rule that you may weep.
Rule II, paragraph 8, states that if
a golf ball comes to rest under the
foot of or in or about the person of
an individual outside the match, then
the opponent shall play the ball as it
lies and assume all responsibility for
the results. The individual outside the
match takes this chance when he vol
UNFAIRLY becomes one of the gallery.
You see accordingly. that the referees
decision in the case quoted was en-
tirely erroneous. A. c.
A. C.'s assumption that were a
golfer and a newspaperman is the fin
est compliment paid US since we were
made a member of the lower commit
tee of the Young Peoples Society of
Christian Endeavor, and that was
many. years ago. 1t is only fair to say
to him, however, the assumption that
we're a newspaperman has been dis
puted by number of persons, most of
whom were mana ging and city editors.
It used to hurt US, but we hate it less
now that Clare Sheridan has set up
the claim that she is a reporter. If
that lady is a reporter, We don't know
that we want to be one.
