 Now York, N. F., Nov. 22.-Tt you have ever heard people say "New York iS heartless" tllis article will give you substance to deny it vehe- Inently.
 Larchmont Troop 8 Boy Scout de- clded to try to do something to help It's neighb0r city New Rochelle hos. pltai, nearest to iArchmont Village, It Is called upon whenever an aIn- bulance is needed in an emergency, A benefit performance in New York City is one thing but in Q comnut. CTS location 1t is quite another.
 Sometimes entertainment pro- grams are permitted to absorb con- siderable ticket sale money In stag ing events. Announced benedclar4ee often got next to nothing except intentions and heartfelt regrets. The Scouts decided to do ''sAmpling" Job COD. on both sides. Pillsbury Flour was convinced of merit In c dinner plan. Manager Buswell agreed to furnish pillsbury Pancake Flour and cooks to make them. He reasoned that people who once tasted thelr product properly cooked would buy again and often.
 Pancakes need syrupl General Foods co. had no doubt how their Log Cabin Syrup would fare when subjected to an actual taste test and generously agreed to cooperate for such Q worthy project.
 It seemed c natural that MaYwell House Coffee would be included.
 Land O Lakes Creamery quickly agreed to Q plentiful supply of but ter. Another company tentatively approved of supplying side orders oi Cocktail sausages, similar to those served at New xork's famous hotels Tetley Tea added its product to . choice of beverages.
 It seemed there was no end of willing hands to contribute to this out-of f-city hospital benefit or to speak in praise of the Boy Scout project, whose declared intentions were to let their friends pay for the privilege of meal-size sanpling of famous brands of food products.
 Making pancakes the Pillsbury way requires only one other ingredi. ent. Willow Brook Dairy willingly volunteered quantities of milk need- ed.
 An offer of Q weli-known Ice cream concern had to be declined with thanks. A local firm, Larch- mont Spa, once permitted Troop 3 to use It's then new and unoccupied quarters for an emergency demona stration. That seemed to turn q dead" corner into one that has been busy ever since. Dessert will be Q choice dish of ice cream from this establishment whose fame has spread to such an extent 1t does a tremendous evening refreshment business without the aid of either malt or spurious beverages.
 New York Subways regale theiI six million daily riders with Ilovel entertainment. It would take more time than any one person could spend to laugh at John Hix cartoons built around his Strange As Il Seems" theme. Some have Q comic character with interpretation that reads on this order: "Bailey's Dir and Dunk Shoppe, Martinshurg, w Va. sells the holes out of doughnut' for Ia cent eachl"
 Our Town Oddities, Q different feature gives travellers a sketch anC a tip on places to see in New York for example, "A second statue oi Liberty towers 50 feet over roof ol the building at 43 West 64th Street A staircase inside leads to a window at the back of the statues head"
 On the same card is an illustra- ton of Church with this descrip- ton, Built to stand 1000 years, the Cathedral of St. John the Divine has no steel structure. Just stone fitted to stone, as in European Ca. thedrals that have stood for cen- turies." f
 These are signed by Gregg Flessel
 There are displays for feminine eyes arranged by Effa Brown called Designs for Living. A sample reads: If you have a husky son. don't do up his room with frilly and 1 perishable draperies and bed spreads" It then proceeds to tell what is proper with right and wrong illustrations. Another set of cards, captioned Foto clues are for detec- tive inclined spectators. A good game, if riders feel like playing.
 A large number of these cardf have been supplied to eliminate dec- orations at the Boy Scout affair and bid fair to amuse all evening. A local entertainment program will be highlighted by a famous New Workers contribution in the form of high jinks in checker games by Mil- lard Hopper, Worlds Champion, whc has made 6 national reputation in his unduplicated stunt of playing fifty opponents at one time. Mfr. Hopper donates a great part of his time to exhibiting his hobby to vet erans' homes. hospitals, boys clubs and was thrilled at the opportunity to do q good turn here. without ever travelling expenses for his stag equipment which is 6 large checker board that looks about ten feet h length.
 I Istarted out to say that New xors | ia not henFkIaea. fEofni Qnnaaval,
