millionaires - three of the young
est millionaires in America the
three guys who had put America
on ice.

ers are the wealthy but eager
limbed owners of the ice FollieS,"
which finishes a long run tomorrow
at Madison Square Garden and re-
sumo their tour of the country. All
three skate every night in the fol-
lies performances, although each
has enough wealth so he could re-
tire to luxury. Eddie ShipStead,
however, has a date with his draft
board next week, and may bid fare
well to his wife and three children
at EncinaS, Calf
HOPE FOR EDDIE
These skating millionaires hope
that Eddie makes the grade for
service, SO they'll have one repre-
sentative in the fighting forces
Johnson is too old; and Roy Ship
stead has been rejected because of
a perforated ear drum.
Johnson says: 81 hope Eddie
makes the marines; SO We'll get this
war over in hurry. Then you'll
see figure skating rise to its proper
place, and you'll see America win
its first olympic championship in
that even - championship that
! really belongs to us, because about
30 years ago, Jackson Haynes of
Chicago developed the spins and
twists and waltz strokes that he
took to Europe and furnished the
! fundamentals of school figures that
enabled European skaters to stand
out since then"
IRRITATED COPS
They started cavorting about the
surface of Lake Como at st. Paul,
Mimi, years ago, much to the irri-
tation of park cops They per-
formed between hockey periods in
1926 and '27. The three barn
stormed with varying success until
1895, when they appeared at the
college room of the Hotel Sherman
in Chicago. Then they organized
a touring road company of 28 per-
/ formers. And they've been getting
bigger ever since-until today when
they have an extravaganza of 100
gals and 80 men.

EXCELLENT deer HUNTING IS
IN PROSPECT SAYS WARDEN
SpeciaI Season

/ FRANK Burns, state Game war;
+ Gen from Brawley, says therell be
plenty of good deer hunting fol
Imperial Valley hunters during the
season which opens Saturday and
closes December 81. inclusive.
Refuge Alb in Angeles forest in
L. A. county will be open for the
first time in years, but any place
in San Diego county should be good
The game refuge, however, is closed
there" he said. "All the Southland
should be good hunting, though,
he advised, las the area has been
closed since the start Of the war
and the number of deer have in
creased. The area, especially coastal
was closed by the army due to sup
posed fire hazard and sabotage
possibilities"
TAGS IMPORTANT
Burns advised hunters to get their
two tags which are soc each. When
they have shot their deer the hum
ters are required to fill out the tag
carefully and attach to antlers at
once. Post card portion must be
filled out and mailed to commission
with the date punched out on the
tag tied TO the antlers. A deer
must have forked antlers, no spikes,
and must have at least two points
on at least one side. The tags
must be validated by any officer
either game warden, forest ranger,
postmaster. or other authority.
One buck is the limit, Burns cau-
toned. and a portion of the deer
head bearing horns or skin must be
retained by the hunter for 10 days
after the close OF the season and be
produced on demand.
CLEVELAND GOOD, TOO
Ranger Fletcher Haywood of the
Cleveland National Forest reports
that there are more deer there this
year than there have been in the
past. He names the areas around
Aqua Tibia and Aguanga noun
tains, San Luis Rey camp, Black
Canyon camp, Orosco ridge west of
Pamo as good. Closed in the area
are private game refuge lands and
the top of Palomar mountain is
practically all closed.

Original Paratrooper
Doesn't Fly a Plane,
But Wears His Winqs
BY KENNETH l.. DIXON.

Associated Press War Correspondent.
ADVANCED AIRBASE IN ITALY.
Daredevil Tolle, the original para
trooper, does not fly plane, but the
Army let's him wear pair of silver
wings in his job as keeper of the silk
for Warhawk squadron of the old
desert airforce, which now is operat-
ing in Italy.
The thing is that Staff Sergt.
Loreain M. Tolle of Alexandria, Ind,
who is now chute rigger, has made
241 jumps himself and, since it took
more than 200 hours time in the air
to get up high enough for those
jumps, the Army figures that he's
earned those wings.
The 47-year-old veteran of some
% years Army service long held a
record for a delayed jump, drop
ping $500 feet before pulling the
ripcord. Since he was willing to do
experimental jumps, the Army let
him do some exhibition stuff on the
side from time to time. but his first
jump was for the Army.
First Enlisted Man to Jump.
ut was the first jump made by an
enlisted man." Sergt. Tolle relates.
II was one of seven original para
troopers. We were formed in 1928
at Brooks Field, near San Antonio,
Tex We jumped before a bunch of
big shots Our machine gun was
parachuted down and we were fir
ing the gun three minutes after
leaping from the plane"
Sergt. Tolle packed his own chute
for that Jump and he's been doing
1t ever since for himself and others.
He made his last jump in 1899, but
when the war broke out, he applied
for overseas service.
Il was too old to be paratrooper, ="
he says with a wry gold-toothed
grin, 80 they put me to packing
chutes for other guys"
But the P-40 squadron which drew
the daredevil was glad to get him.
Brings Sqadron Luck.
1--WE figure that anybody who had
made that many jumps and packed
his own chutes for them would be
mighty careful" the pilots explain,
besides he brings us luck"
Sergt. Tolle gets his nickname
from the tattooed word Daredevil"
on his arm and nobody questions his
right to wear it any more than they
question his right to wear those sill
yer wings.
Two questions make him mad.
One, How many chutes have failed
to open out of all the thousands
he's packed-"none, he snaps-and
the other, couldn't he pack a chute
faster than the hour it usually takes
him and his assistant, Corpl. Joseph
P. Legocki, Thermopolis, who helps
him to do the job.
And when word comes in that one
of the boys have been forced to
bail out, the daredevil doesn't
look like a daredevil. He sweats
morosely in his tent, refusing to
ask the news but cooking a constant
ear towards the operations tent.
Fools Nobody.
Then finally when word comes
through that the chute opened okay,
Sergt. Tolle gets back to work pre-
tending that he wasn't paying too
much attention any way, but he's
not fooling anybody.
If the boys manage to hit the
silk on this side of the front, they
know what their greeting will be
when they come and turn their
chutes over to Sergt Tolle for re-
packing.
That's a case of beer you owe
me-" the daredevil reminds them.
