A Thought for Today

And whatsoever shall seem good to thee, and to thy brethren to do with the rest of the silver and the gold, that do after the will of your GOd-EMa 7:18.
 By doing good with his money, man, as it were stamps the image of God upon it, and makes it pass current for the merchandise of heaven.-J. Rutledge.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-04-24

TODAY'S COMMON ERROR Do not say, "If he is caught pil-
 fering 1t will involve his dis
 missal;" say, "entail his dis missal."

PROFESSIONAL HEART-STOPPER


 RT-STOPPER
 Of Coney Islanders like Charlie, . there is a small but colorful legion. Oscar Krahe probably is the leading thrill-rider in Coney. His pride and joy at the moment is The Flying Turns. But in the past quarter of a century, he has been inventing and designing al- most every other stomach-turning, heart-stopping, ricocheting loop the-loop on the midway.
 He has ridden them all thou sands of times and he has owned and operated number of them. Not even the most vertical spill would cause him to bat an eye- lash TOW. Nevertheless, he still enjoys dozen spins each day on The Flying Turns. That's because he is sentimental about aviation, having attempted to build his own plane soon after the Wright Brothers went up in theirs at Kitty Hawk. His never flew, of course, and the Flying Turns, I guess, is his tardy consolation.
 Back in the mauve decade, Richard Garfield was the most fabulous gambling impresario in New York. Millions changed hands over his roulette tables.
 Whats in a name? Now Fred Garfield Ono kin) is the king of chance on Coney Island. He is the islands leading game con- cessionaire-everything from Fas- cination to Binso and he is in love with his profession.
 For, after his bingo establish ments draw to their normal close this summer, Garfield will wan- der over - as he always has-to the Cosmo Cafe, on Coney's fringe, and there with his buddies play-bingo.
 WEIGHTY FORTUNE
 Selig Hocheiser's sandals also are heavy laden with beach firma- ment. An ornamental figure, Selig is the man with the high hat and Sunday frockcoat who originated the fine art of weight-guessing 25 years ago. He still is at it. outwit- ting the avoirdupois-challengers.
 Two and half decades back, Selig came to Coney with a dubi- ously accurate scale and charged folk a penny to weigh themselves. He was bored with that after a while and so he thought of pitting his brain against brawn. Over his scale he hung a sign, Come In and Fool the Guessers," and those who defied him successfully got their weights computed free of charge and those who didn't, paid a dime.
 Selig soon was earning his for tune-which, they say, is quite substantial by this time.
 And there is Fred Nicer, vet eran of Coney for 20 years, who guides the destiny of the Eden WaXWorks Museum. Devoted to his career by day and night, Nicer makes his home in the Museum, his rooms adjoining the wax re- minders of a historic electrocu- ton or sanguinary murder or memorable Kidnapping.

tally attached to their garish re- sort and are reluctant to shake Coney's sands out of their foot gear.
 One with sand in his shoes is Charlie Salationi, who has spent the past decade of his life at Steeplechase, manning the con trols that blow air up the valves and set milady's skirts flying above the knees. For ter years his con- trol room has been within a pa pier mache elephant where he works and lunches and often sleeps. And it is his favorite oc- cupation, besides his sole one. Nevertheless, Charlie doesn't care much for practical jokes off com- pany time,
