In a L WOul O make an ibex shed tears get the credit accounts, while the mail order mass-merchandisers make our mail man humpbacked.
 Once in awhile, we get a. mail order story that causes chuckles of great glee from this bailiwick. We heard one the other evening, and here 'tiS, a neighbOr down. street heard the p0stman's whistle and went out to find the federal employe struggling with a carton weighing a little less than a ton. Our neighbOr looked at the return address and gasped, "But I ain't ordered nuthin' there for c0upla years. That last barn paint I got was pink instead of Princes Me- talic, so I'm trading with a Phila- delphia house"
 "Aint yer name Frank Jones?" the RED man bristled. Our friend said it was. well, then, Mister Jones, I reckon you'll accept de- livery, or else" And our man, having once tangled with a gov- ernment social worker when he cut his foot and wasn't able to work, decided it was best to take the packing case and avoid trou- ble. Together, the postman and MT. Jones trundled the package across the road and up on the lawn. The government employe mopped his brow and accepted a glass of cider. As he turned to go, he said, Must be a moving machine or a manure Spreader. Frank" Our neighbor just walked around that package, ruminating. He ruminated almost all day, and toward evening, when the family returned for evening rations, he plucked up courage and tapped the treasure chest with all the keen joy of New York mobster tap ping country safe of tin.
 The lid came off, after a fashion, and there, coiled like a sinister threat was great hank of 1A inch hemp rope! It was too big for a clothes line and not quite big enough for a derrick, and it was the kind of rope Cape COdders have their pictures talk en sitting on. Our man unraveIed miles of it to get to the next item.
 Next, he found few pairs of shoes he couldn't wear, then a flock of baby equipment. AS Mrs. Jones is hugging 80 he had little use for a layette, but he figured he might use the cloth for wipe rags or even dish-towels. About 800 o'clock, weary and wornout, the winner reached the bottom of the carton and there was an envelope. Hurrying indoors, MT. Jones found his specs and ripped open the message; it was addressed to him all right, and it brought the regrets of the mail order house that certain items, specified by number, were not in- cluded. The house was out of that stock but they'd reordered and would see that MT. Jones received the balance of his goods imme- diately.
 We'll, MT. Jones first decided that he'd shoot the pOstman and burn the body in the mail order gOOffs hNuf1re and then he rOt fA thinking of how somebody, some where, was probably looking down the road expecting that very pack age. It wouldn't be fair to burn the merchandise, even if it had been wished onto one i'm a most irregular manner. AftSr sleeping on his problem, this honest Yam kec decided to go up to the post office and make a clean breast of

eVeEytn1ns. He Sn4Ve0 ana got on a pair of clean OveralIs and started out. Two hours later he got up to the stamp window and told his story. Naturally, the only thing the postmaster could do was to recommend that a letter be written to the catalog house ex- plaining the difficulty and the goods returned.
 MT. Jones spent a lot of postage money and showed his honesty. He told those Chicago folks that he wasn't the MT. Frank Jones that ordered a hand of hanging rope and some baby fittings and shoes, but that he was Frank Jones of Southbury, Conn. And he sent the goods back.
 Everything was quiet for several days and then a letter arrived, stating that the catalOg house had filled that order exactly as it was received, that the goods were as represented in Catalog No. 1057, and that they were at a loss to explain the attitude of a guy who buys stuff and pays for it and then refuses delivery.
 Biting on his lead pencil between lines, MT. Jones wrote 8 letter to that outfit that patiently ex- plained everything all over again. He got 8 dashback that singed his eyebrows. Of course, the mail or der gang complained, if MT. Jones wasn't going to accept the goods he had ordered, then the money paid would be refunded immedi- ately. All the customers of Levin & Isaacs had to say at any time was how they wanted the refund, by money order or check? (Those mail order folks were waspy and hard to please.)
 Mir. Jones again dampened his lead pencil and wrote that not only did he not want the money refunded but that as he hadn't SOMt At h UAC AASO PAshCCS uC couldn't very we'll accept what wasn't hisn. There" he re- marked, as he licked the stamp, 'T guess that'l hold 'em!" But it didn't.
 Letters are still shuttling back and forth between our MT. Frank Jones who knows he isn't the Frank Jones that ordered hemp rope, and the catalog clerks who are trying hard to convince him that he is somebody he is not. (This sort of thing can go about so far, and then Frank Jones will take down the shotgun pack a few crackers in his pocket, and start for Chihcago. Whatll hap pen to the mail order business if they drive him that far is like what Al Capone used to have hap pen to various shills who wouldn't play his way.)
 PatrOnize local merchants and save postage and shotgun shells, that Is the motto we're going to have every child in Britain mem Orixe.

years.
The part Of George, the hard

of a man in the Steinbeck story, is
Meredith's assignment in the Roach
adaptation of the play which won
the critics prize. 1t would seem to
be the perfect screen role for the

stage, just the one to do for him
what his portrait of Mic In Winter

namely to prove that the movies
might have younger Spencer Tracy

it fails to attain that high and

It has been the contention of a

country group known sometimes
as the Meredith claque. that what
the screen needs is players Of his
caliber Now that he is under con-

Hal Roach, the hope for such a
development seems less vain.

something to anticipate.
