BOSTON, Mar. /. CUP)-In the
heart Of Beacon Hill, homing- place
OF many of Americas socially pro-
minent families, lives a woman who
has retained national prominence
as an athlete for more than a
quarter century despite her con-
tlnued efforts to shun publicity
She is Eleonora Sears who. today.
in her middle fifties, displays, the
same individualiSm that led her
TO appear ON horseback in trousers
much to the horror of San Diego,
California, residents back in 1910.
Miss Sears has done nothing so
comparatively startling for several
years, yet it was only this winter
that she won the Women's state
squash championship from a field
OF a younger generation.
Although she refuses to discuss
her achievements in many fields
OF sport, it is her feats as a walker
that have brought her the greatest
prominence. There are no accepted
walking records listed for women
but If there were, she probably
would hold them at every distance
In April 1912 she walked lO8
miles in 20 hours and so minutes
and at SpaSmodic intervals since
has hit the front page with hiking
exploits. In 1926 she broke her
own record by tramping the Al
mile route from Providence to
Boston in nine hours, SO minutes.
while two years later she walked
from Newport, r. l., to Boston GA
niles through a drenching rain in
exactly II hours.
Mrs. George s. Wightman, holder
of more than 20 Women's national
tennis titles, describes Miss Sears
as one OF the most versatile athletes
in the history of Women's athletics.
"Eleo has never been supreme
as a squash or tennis player" says
Mrs. Wightman, but she always
has been able to play very well
any game she tried. She is just
as active mentally and physically
today as she was 20 years ago.
Miss Sears is not sure whether
she will try to better any of her
walking records. Walking is stu
pid,' she said today and 1 do it
just for exercise. 1 don't walk 10
or Is miles a day as | used to,
although 1 still take long walks
two days a week"
Miss Sears is admired by many
people who know her only as
trim person clad In tWeeds who
hikes the streets of Boston. Two
winters ago, a dinner was held in
her honor and notables from every
field of sport attended.
Few people ever have seen her
trophy room which contains more
than 200 cups for excellence in
various sports. She enjoys COM
petition and was no more pleased
to win the womens national squash
racquets championship than to
break her own record for the BOS-
Providence walk.
Today she probably is the oldest
woman active enough in sports to
command national attention. And,
despite her persistent aloofness, she
is greatly admired by Bostonians.

Gonzalez Signed TO
Meet Don McMahon
In Main Thursday

Gus Gonzalez request for
bigger men to conquer after
his easy win over Chatter
Adams in the main event at
the CaleXico arena last week
was granted today when Leo Ellis,
matchmaker, announced he had
lined up Don McMahon of Long
Beach as an opponent for the
Mexico champion.
sJohn Bales, welterweight from
Long Beach will meet Luis Saav-
redra in the semi-windup. Saavre-
dra was outclaSsed by Ike Blair
last week.
johnny Antuna, hard hitting
Mexican lad will tackle Ed Martin
in the third special bout on the
card.
.Gonzalez, who peppered Adams
at will in his first engagement on
the valley last week, will meet a
tough customer in Mcmahon. Don
advanced to the finals of the Gold
en- Gloves tournament in Los An
geles and was on his way to VIC
tory in that fight when a cash
over his left eye halted the bout.
Bales will enter the ring as a
favorite over Saavredra, who was
not too impressive in his first
showing. But Luis may have been
a bit at a loss in a strange ring
for the first time and may make
a comeback in his second time out

WORKING FOR COMMUNITY
PROGRESS

One of the earliest criticisms Of
the chain store method of distribu-
tion was that the stores took no in
terest whatsoever in local and COM
niunity affairs, and mulcted their
towns of every possible dollar with
out giving anything in return.
There may still be some chains
which are disinterested In commun-
ity progress-but they are few in
number and small in influence. and
it is a safe bet that, unless they
drastically change their policies,
they are headed for oblivion. For
progressive chain store manage
ments--and it Is arrangements of
this type which head practically all
of the successful chain systems Of
the country-know full well that to
serve the public eheaply, and eff
ciently, important as that is, isn't
their sole responsibility. Conse-
they interest themselves in
and contribute substantially to local
betterment. charity and general /
welfare activities.
Further, they are major advertis-
ers in local newspapers. They are
Iirst-class tenants for local proper
Iy-owners. and, by paying good
rents. help to build up values in a
towns commercial district. Their
local managers and employees live
N the town, pay taxes in it, and are
,ften home owners.
AS Roger Babson has said OF the
,hains, They have brought far more
benefits than injury" One of those
BENEFITS is their increasing interest
n the communities in which they
operate, and whose consumers they
erye. Each year sees commend
bile broadening of chain store ac-
ivities in the local welfare field.

HOW TO ELIMINATE

The National Board Of Fire IN
derwriters has just released bulle-
tin entitled, what to Look for in
Dwelling House Inspections While
the bulletin Is specially designed fon
firemen. the advice II gives can cas-
fly be followed to advantage by home
owners.
Items to be checked from outside
the house include: I. Condition Of
roof. Old or warped roofing collects
sparks. 2. Condition OF chimneys.
Loose bricks, open joints. cracks, inn
proper supports. ETC., present obyi-
Gus dangers. 3. Condition Of the yard.
Dry grass, leaves, papers and other
combustible accumulations consti-
tute a serious FIRE hazard to adjacent
places. 4. Condition of garages and
sheds. Cleanliness and good mainte-
nance are essential precautions. 5.
The storage Of hazardous materials
such as oil and kerosene.
Inside the house a thorough ERE
inspection must include the check
ing Of accumulated waste and dis
carded materials; storage Of fuel;
the condition OF furnaces, stoves and
other heating appliances; possible
defects in inside chimneys, fire stops.
etc.
The citizen who is uncertain as to
hazards and their elimination can

The Farm. Problem

Congress is committed to pass
farm legislation at the present extra
session of Congress. Cotton. corn
and other agricultural crops are
abundant-the good earth having
been so overwhelmingly good" that
the farmers are fearful Of low prices
because there has been over-produc-
tion.
Peg number one calls for a bill
lion dollars or more Of Government
financing for farm loans, holding
the crops, keeping the prices up.
Secretary Of Agriculture Wallace
explains this in a very interesting
way to the committees Of the Sen
ate and House. Apparently there
isn't any great objection to putting
up the huge sums Of money that
will be called for. But how? At
present the President, Secretary of
Treasury, and other high officials
of the Administration insist that
there must be new forms Of taxes
to meet the expenses. This will
mean processing taxes and other
measure that are being fought to a
standstill by interests that will be
hit. AS a result of this eontroSer-
sial point the Congressman are
studying other possible ways and
means, with plenty of presidents to
pick from in former New Deal ar
The proposal for compulsory
contreI Of crops by the Agricultural
and the Administration
is being met with proposals for vol

sion" forces greatly outnumber the
voluntary advocates, and they will
win in the end.
