On Treasure Hunt For Red Cross
Deoth-Defying
Lad Itches To
Get At Wheel
Of Army Tank
BY BURTON BENJAMIN
NEA Service Staff Correspondent

New York, Jan. 20 - When John
ny Grant walked in the Office the
other day and said he was on a
treasure hunt and where could he
find Joe DiMaggio, / began to yawn.
Then he advised 1T was for the Red
Cross.
Eighteen-year-old Johnny, pride
of Kinston, N. c., calls it the
worlds longest treasure hunt. It's
his own idea, and he figures it will
net the Red Cross three to four
hundred bucks. Maybe more now.
No ordinary kid on big city
lark in North Cardinals Johnny
Grant. He is an apprentice in
that strange sports fraternity, the
thrill drivers. AS a member of
Jimmy Lynch's troup, he puts on
a crash helmet, tightens a safety
belt and commits mayhem on an
ordinary automobile. Treasure hunt
ing Is one Of his many side-lines.
The plan is simple. The folks
from Kinston and surrounding
parts gave Johnny 500 and a list
of instructions. Most of them in
volved New York and Washington
celebrities. When he returns his
trophies will be raffled off, pro-
ceeds to the Red Cross. Johnny
figures every important neighbor
will bid for the souvenirs.
In New York, Johnny checked
off zanier request by donning
pajamas and posing as news
paper reporter on frigid Broad
way.
CELEBRITIES PITCH IN
SWELL JOHNNY'S KITTY
Then he attacked the rest Of the
list:
Charlie Spivack. Gene Krupa,
Benny Goodman and Guy LON
bardo donated pictures and other
memoirs of the music world.
The aquarium was closed - so no
fish.
Jack Dempsey furnished silver
ware from his restaurant.
Buddy Bear autographed a deck
of cards but insisted on removing
the king of clubs.
The Brooklyn Americans added
a hockey stick to the kitty.
Colonel John Fitzpatrick Of Madi-
son Squar Garden supplied a worry
bird.
Mike Jacobs donated the gloves
from the Fritzie zivic-Ray Rob-
inson tiff.

7 counsel you have given me. My
daughter is staying home nights
and isn't giving me any trouble
at all right now, If there is any
thing else need to know, please
tell me and am very grateful
Tor your past help.
Ans: From every indication
you are beginning to understand
your daughter again. 1t is Just
as important that you continue
your efforts to- see her point of
view as it was three months ago.
1t is girls right to receive
company and mingle with people
her own age and since you have
woke pto this fact YOU
two get along swell. Be a moth.
er to the girl not a dictator.
l.. j. Il am in deep love with
my teacher. Does he love me?
tie watches me all Of the time
and | believe he loves me too.
Ans;-Perhaps the reason he
watches you, is because you keep
your eyes glued ON him all Of
the time. Do not encourage his
attention during school term. Ii
Is best that you choose your
friends among boys around your
own age. The teacaher realize
you are still a school girl and he
can't afford to express his feel
ings for you.
W. r. Should | send my boy
friend a picture of me? He wrote
and asked for one and | don't
know whether | should do it or
not? l like him more than any
BOY | know. write him re-
gularly.
Ans:-- Send the soldier your
picture. You have no idea how
much good it will do him to show
your picture around to the bows
in his camp. Just say the word
and ne will bye happy to have his
picture made in his uniform and
send you. Keep the boy chcered
up.
II. c. M. is it advisable for
me to give up my work as a
beauty parlor operator and enter
training for a nurse as nv girl
friend is going to do? We have
been out of school a year and we
aren't happy doing this work.
Ans; Make the change now.
while you are young. Nurse
training is no soft job. It's hard
work and long hours. But if that
is the kind Of work that appeals
70 you, you would be happier do
ing it than anything else. You
TWO have the necessary training
to enter a hospital right away.
