BY LOUDON KELLY,

DENVER, Aug. %. - Thinking
about the draft VS.. their football
players, Rocky Mountain Big Seven
coaches try to comfort themselves
that most things you worry about
never happen.
So far no topflight gridder in the
Mile-Hgh Conference has had his
college career interrupted by Uncle
Sans numbers game But enough
of them are registered TO make q
complete team if all were called this
season.
performers last autumn.Wingback
Isadore Spector and Tackle Floyd
Spendlove at Utah and Tackle
Lloyd Oliver and Fullback Paul Nc
Chung at Colorado.
Coach Ike Armstrong, whose 18th
edition Of Utah Redskins will be
the defending champions, says that
SO far as he knows none of the
boys will be caught until after the
first quarter, at least"
In addition to Spector and SPEND
love. Fullback Gene Robertson and
Halfback Mac Speedie. a valuable
kicker, may be called up.
Colorado Has Many Listed.
Colorado, which enticed Jim
Yeager away from Iowa State to be
its third grid coach in three sea-
sons, hopes to get another years
service from Tackle Loren Creese
and such backf1eld stalwalts as Vern
Miller, Johnny Adams and Vern
Lockard, as well as Oliver and Nc
Clung, before the Army gets them.
Curly thatched Gao Hubbard
opening his third season as boss at
Denver University, says Il think
we'll get by all right" Bob Wright,
a fleet tailback, has been deferred
until November, but such good backs
as Hank Walsmith and Dan Ginger
and Tackle Dutch Reiner had to
register in the July roundup of
21-year -olds.

UP TO KILLEN
by Kelley RooS.

About where you were born. And
reared. Did you know a family
named Young? The Brigham
Youngs?"
please stop trying to be funnyl"
N'Or a family named Blanton?
There was daughter, Carol Blan-
ton"
"Oh, so that's It'll"
"YeS," said JEFF. $50 you better
answer my questions. I'll be more
open-minded than Peterson"
II doubt that! But, yes, I was
born in Salt Lake City. I adopted
England as my native land for
advantageous"
I'VE know about that"
you seem to know q great deal.
But left Salt Lake City when
was IS before Carol Blanton
was born. And I've never been back
since. Now get out Of here! I won't
stoop to talk to a pair of sneak
thieves who pretend they're trying
to solve a murder and"
The Ashley Secret.
couldn't keep quiet any longer.
I thrust the three white tablets I
had found in the bathroom before
Ashley's eyes.
What about these? You're going
to be very embarrassed, Mr.. Ashley,
If they turn out to be morphine!
And what about your own sneaky
tactics? Ducking us and pussy
footing around Radio City!"
For the last time, get out of
here!" .Ashley's face was ugly. In
stinctively, stepped behind JEFF.
If Mr.. Ashley won't talk, Haila,
I will. I know the answer to the
mysterious mission at Radio City.
And the tablets"
Ashley clenched his fists and
started toward JEFF, who glided
around in back of me and spoke
to Philip over my shoulder.
The answer is strictly glandular.
Fat! Obesity! That middle-aged
spread" Philip wilted and looked
as if he were about to burst into
tears. AN actor must keep that
schoolgirl figure. Those are reducing
tablets. In Radio City, on the same
floor as Vincent Parker, is the en-
porium of Nine. Somebody, cor
setiere. In the bathroom, note the
scales. the reducing machine. In
that closet is girdle for every day
OF the week. No wonder our friend
raised rumpus when you borrowed
his tablets at the theater. You
might have discovered what they
were and ruined his glamour"
A small "Oh!" was all could
manage.
Its nothing to be ashamed of,
Ashley
You son" Ashley started to
say.
"Uh-uh!" JEFF waggled a finger
at him. Ashley turned his back and
stamped to the window. I caught
Jef1's eye and motioned toward the
door, wanted to get out of there.
Ashley" JEFF said, you shouldn't
let your pride make suspicious peo-
pie like Haila think you're a mur-
derer."
He pivoted around to JEFF. His
voice was loud with righteous an
ger. He was his old pompous self.
Now are you satisfied? Now, will
you leave before have you thrown
out by the police? l won't touch
you: you nauseate mel"
We'll go in a second quietly" :"
JEFF said. "As soon as you explain
this" He held out a small slip of
paper.
What's that? Where did you find
that?"
In your desk"
Ashley whitened. you've been in
my desk? How contemplate of
you'll"
jeff read from the paper: Il. O..
q. five hundred dollars. Signed.
Carol Blanton. How do you ac-
count for that, Ashley?"
Ashley looked uncertain for a Sec
ond, then gave little deprecating
laugh. He went to one of his por-
celain boxes and got himself a
cigarette.
'Oh. that" he said. Il must tell
you about that"
Yes. you must" JEFF said.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

In wartime the people Of a be-
sieged country can't please their ap-
petite with those items that have al
ways appealed to their particular
tastes but must provide food allotted
to them or products that are easy to
obtain. In the case of England, the
people have been rationed strictly on
many foods, but the potato is so
profuse that the British are urged
to eat more of them to satisfy the
appetite In fact, so necessary is
the call to potato eating there has
been installed potato bars" offer
ing the lowly spud in all sorts of
dishes and as much as one can eat
for thirty cents. Sweets are so diff
ficult to get that they hope to ap-
pease with this vegetable as a nov
city at these potato bars. With Am
orleans taking their food so matter
Of course it is hard for them to i'm
agine the deprivations visited upon
those countries over seas. We think
nothing of the lard that is found in
abundance in our homes, but that
one item is a desperate need in for
eign countries where they especially
lack fat Turkey has unknowingly
been sending shipments of fat to
Germany by exporting cans that are
labelled peas" When our tulips
bloom in Kennewick give a thought
to a letter that was written by a
grower of tulips in Holland. He
states that nearly three million
bulbs of his 1889 crop are being
treated as substitute for coffee. So
famed Holland, renowned for its be-
ing the Worlds tulip center, be-
comes a laboratory for a coffee sub
stitute. Here we are in Kennewick
about to sit down to a well-filled
table Of delectable foods, taken for
granted adm even unappreciated in
most cases. We should appreciate
our lard, our sweets, our coffee.

UNCLE SAM AND SANTA

Our community of Kennewick is
not unwilling to accept many adj
vanced thoughts handed to them
from serious-minded folks who make
it their business to know what they
are talking about. But when an
adult mind states that there are a
lot of college students who still think
there is Santa Claus, we balk at
accepting such a fact, as truth.
We know too many college students!
To them Santa is another name for
dad, the benefactor who has been
footing the accounts since long be-
fore college And even these Santas
lay down their packs, peel off their
Whiskers after awhile, figuring it is
up to him to steer the sleigh and
the reindeer.
The student grows up, becomes a
taxpayer and supposedly accepts
the responsibilities of the citizen.
But sometimes he gets it into his
head that since papa won't play
Santa maybe Uncle Sam will! He
hasn't learned yet that the dreams of
the child, the vision of the student
are mixed up in crazy pattern and
confuSes the idea of getting some
thing for nothing with the idea of
paying your way as you go. In the
early days Santa Claus demanded
that only by your giving him obed-
fence and showing him good be-
havior would you be remembered on
You had to earn Santa's
pleasure. When your father was the
benefactor you had to show him
your appreciation through scholastic
efforts and other means of proving
your gratitude. You had to realize
the policy of something in return, of
earning what you received, was ex-
pected of you. When Uncle Sam
appears you should Immediately de-
tect that he isn't Santa Claus. He |
isn't built at all like the jolly, ro-
turld fellow. And be adult enough
to have learned your lesson well, |
that what he gives you in gifts he
has probably secured from you in |
