GOOD time, you can still Own

McCarkuS thought il over
very slowly as he pulled on
his corn cob.
Finally he said:
II think you're right son. 1

portation from"
He laughed and wrinkled
his forehead.
He reached for a little black
notebook in which a hastily
marked 35 had been rudely
erased and in it's place and
beneath II a gently marked
80 lay.
He crossed out that figure
and wrote another beneath IT.
Fifty dollars more wouldn't
break him.
A NEW IDEA
On Wednesday. Tom the
youngest of his sons marched
into the house eXcitedly.
slapped McCarkus on the back
and roared enthusiastically.
Knew you'd do II, pop.
Breakin' out of the old shell.
Hittin' the road, eh. know

day and he told me you're
goin' on n cross country tour.
Boy I certainly wish I could
go with you, but got to
work. Gee whiz." the boy
continued in the same vein as
McCarkus swelled with pride
and a new idea prodded. his
thoughts.
Imagine. rolling down the
side Of the Mississippi, over
the Ozark Mountains, down
through Texas, across the
MOhave desert TO California.
Pop you're certainly one lucky
guy.
A GREAT GUY
Gee pop. you're one great

fore YOU go pop"
Tom dashed out of the
house.
1t was two weeks before
McCarkus' vacation was to
begin. Tomorrow, he con-
templated. before going into
the bank he would stop off at
the used car dealer down the
street and present his prob
lem.
McCarkus walked out of the
house. He breathed deeply
of the perfumed air that en-
veleped the garden and then
strolled slowly down the
street.
A few yards from the house
he was met by David, the
lankiest member Of the Nc
Carkus family. David was
reSplendent in his chauffeur's
uniform. David drove for a
wealthy family. He had a
good job, was married. and
had two children.

Mason, Hochrein to Battle For
Washtenaw Country Club Title

Merle Hutton proved to be by far
the most spectacular as the two
had to battle into extra holes be-
fore the match could be decided.
At the end Of eighteen holes the
two were deadlocked and OF
course the tie had to be played
off. The nineteenth hole saw
each still matching the other
stroke for stroke but the TWEEN
tieth finally saw the youthful
Hochrein take the match as he
won the hole to reach the finals
Of the tourney.
Mason, on the other hand, ran
into no such difficulties as Hoch-
rein as he eliminated Joe Korbel
in a runaway match. With the
outcome never in doubt, Mason
early built up a lead and cinched
the match on the short thir-
teenth hole as he registered a
6-5 victory.
Results OF the first flight found
Clifford Goldsmith an easy win
ner over Don Gillette, coming
out victorious 6-5, while Jim Hart
won through to a one UP victory
over r. ]. Baker. Goldsmith and
Hart are thus the two who will

Defense Spending Hits
RaIf-Billion Monthly Pace

BY the Associated Press.
Defense spending reached a
monthly pace of almost half a bill
lion dollars at the turn of the year
Final December figures, available
at the Treasury for the first time
today, showed the military activi-
ties of the War and Navy Depart
ments cost 459,878,832.
Although this pace is scheduled
to rise to about $750O00,0OO in an
other six months, it was in line with
budget estimates for gradual STEP
up in the defense program.
Thus, since the fiscal year began
on July l, here are the monthly de-
fenSe totals:
July, s177,391.781; August. $780,
251,126; September, S218,432, ,483;
October S283,855, 1868; November,
1865 ,233,378; December, S459,878, 1892
These added up to s1,703 TAB, ,765, or
more than the full IL months of the
preceding fiscal year.
