Ry HENRY SUPER

NEW YORK. Feb. 81. tUP) -
Somewhere on the white sands of
Florida. a red-naired gent Sprawls
under a tropical sun today. enjoying
his first vacation in seven years.
His boiy-at least this is what
he claimed before he left New York
the other days weary from un-
ceasing toll. At 81. he is an old
man who has seen and done every
thing His name is Henry McLemore,
regular conductor Of this column.
To look at Henry you would not
think he needs a vacation. Off
hand. I would say he looked under
worked But before he departed,
he explained why he needed rest:
Il am a tired old man. he said.
Il have been writing this column
day in and day out for seven years,
excluding of course those few weeks
last year when l was cruising up
and down the Mississippi flood
waters in a roWaboat writing eye
witness stories. 1t has been eX-
tremely hard work climbing up the
long stairs Of the Polo Grounds
press box. riding steamships TO Eu-
rope and flying all over the country.
I am worn out. My body is racked
with the miseries. I fear I am an
old man, long before my time"
To read that you would really
think McLemore needs vacation.
But l know differently-I've known
him for more than seven years and
if what he has been doing is work,
I'm willing to pay him for the
privilege of doing it.
In those seven years. McLemore
has twice visited all 48 states in
the union. He spent the past four
months touring the country. finally
winding UP at Daytona Beach
where he spent more than a week
viewing the sport scene from dis
tance and playing golf.
He spent more than a month in
Hollywood playing golf with Bing
Crosby, swimming in the blue seas
off Catalina Island. and spending
many hours hanging around the
movie studios doing nothing but
watch them make pictures. OF
course, he wrote a column every
lay during that period-but he calls
that work.
