II you don't
think there "a
are plenty of - -
people who MR.. PICKERING
want an extra l0-spot, or even
SIS, YOU should listen 10 the
news tip editOr'r phone.
Ever since this paper started
offering prizes for the best news
tips. people have been sending
in stream Of ideas.
One Upper. though, didn't
waHt any money for his story,
and he wouldn't even give his
name.
1t was about Miss Ethel
Klein OF 1881 hicQuade. who
sells insurance. She was hunting
I'D insurance business and was
lust ringing the bell a. one
house when the people came out
Of The door.
Their little boy was being
taken 10 the hospital and would
die unless he had A TRANSMISSION
of a rather rare type Of blood
Miss Klein, u turned out, had
recently given blood 70 the Red
Cross, and had card showing
that her blood was of that par
ticular type, 50 she Just went
along 20 the hospital and gave
The boy = TRANSMISSION. He's out
of danger now, and everything 5
tine.
The man who phoned the tip
said that II ID won any prize, he
wanted w. to give the money to
the Red Cross. so IL the news
tip editor agrees, I would say
the Red Cross ought In get the
check. There's only one thing
missing from the story-he
didn't say whether Miss Klein
sold the people any insurance.
But l could guess.
Sometimes you cant help
feeling sorry for people who
call-they are trying 30 pathst.
ically hard 10 grasp At story
that VIII earn them z few dol

Naturally we can't do any
thing about news tips concern
AlnC something or other IN Eu-
Hrope. That's up 10 ms or Up 70
cover. But one woman didn't
understand this. and her news
tip was Watch for Rome TO
be bombed -
The news tip editor tried r.
explain why that WASH I what
we wanted The woman still did
not understand obviously be-
cause she came right back with
We'll. then. how about
watching Russia. in case they
decide "a make separate
peace ."
OF course. that wasn't any
good either. But the funny thing
was that the next day the Ger
mans DID bomb Rome l sup
pose the lady feels that VIC did
wrong IN not paying her, but
what can We do?
There WAS An interesting
night club performance the
other day that wasn't much
known about II was a. odd y
one a. entertainers are likely
10 experience.
The GoodfelloVs Club at
Maybury Sanitarium. the big
hospital out AT Worthwhile, was
having it, annual fair
Frank Barbara agreed to take
his whole BoweTy show out for
the afternoon, star. horus,
Benny Resh's band and all
But II turned out 10 he a cold
day. 80 cold that most of the
entertainers couldn't wear their
glamour pants costumes for
some 81 the acts. They went
through the show, though, and
the costu ing didn't make
much difference.
For, the san being peopled
with lung sufferers mostly. not
many of the patients saw the
show. Some 800 of them had
10 stay in their rooms. They
listened TO the show through
headsetS attached to the hos
pitfalls public address system.
II Cheered them mp a lot
especially when the star Of the
show, Marjorie Gainsworth, i'm
terrupted her singing 10 say
she knew how they felt She
used 10 he a patient in the same
kind of sanitarium, and she re-
covered completely. She's only
had two or three colds i'm the
last several years.
