And that's Just about the highest praise
one sailing man can give another. may lay
claim to being the Great American Sailor,
but that's not the same thing at all. That

Cross Section Of America
! HERE are lot of such real sailors around,
and they aren't millionaires, either, or within
hailing distance of it. The commodore of the
little yacht club to which belong is an adver-
tising man. The vice commodore is writer.
The chairman of the racing committee is
salesman The chairman of the membership
committee is a real-estate agent. And they're
all real sailors As a matter of fact, my guess
is that Americas sailors would constitute
pretty good cross section of American life.
Geographically, too. Anyone who has an
idea that sailing is just a sport for people
along the coasts doesn't know what has been
happening lately Sailing is sweeping the
country. The other day, was chatting with
the editor of one of the leading yachting mag
azines. I'm leaving next week" he told me,

What's the answer? Lakes, rivers. reser-
voirs. A lot of new inland waters have been
created in the United States in recent years,
as result of government power projects and
water storage projects. And almost as fast
as they have sprung up. bellying sails have
sprung up over them.

NEW YORK, July q (NANA)-
One of the stock observations of
Arthur Brisbane a few years ago,
when writing about two heavyweight
fighters, was substantially along this
line: "A gorilla could whip them
both"
But is a gorilla the champion of
the animal kingdom? With this
thought in mind, we invaded Frank
Bucks Jungle Land at New York's
Worlds Fair to collect a few more
vital statistics on the subject Frank
doesn't rank the gorilla fifth.
This seems to be an age of battle

So why not try to locate the winner?
Il would have to name the ele-
phant on top" Frank Buck told me.
The elephant is just too big. He is
also one of the smartest of all ami
mals-and one of the gamest. A
rhinoceros is almost as big. So is
the seladang, the wild buffalo. But
you never will find one of these, in
