Enclosed Tips

In Japan, small envelopes are
made expressly for the purpose of
enclosing tips for walters, BARRIERS,
porters and other public servants.
When such persons are given a
gratuity without this covering, they
are insulted because it shows that
the donor has no consideration for
their feelings.

THE PENNANT CRUISE

THE PENNANT CRUISE
written by Hughey Keogh (Hek)
ON his last New Years day, over 3
years ago. A perfect turn for tn
two pennant races of I943.)
Ready about, and we're of
again,
On another leg of this blind
lead race,
To finish, no one knows where
or when,
No cares Ger much In the
present case.
No backward glance at the
might-have-been,
No vain regrets, nor haunting
fear
That the course we lay is beyond
our ken
We've squared away for an
other year.
We do not know what is dead
ahead
(And It's best for us that we
do not know
Or if we are leading, or being
led,
Or good or ills in the winds
that blow.
Perhaps in another way we'd go
If we shaped our course with
vision clear.
'Tis a Sporting Chance-and
we'd have it So
We're squared away for anoth-
er year.

Physical examinations in connec-

A Different Matter

Certain vital physical defects
among leading athletes is something
that can't be helped. The case of
our kids is a different matter.
Unfortunately, it was a man
named Hitler who first thought up
the idea of training and develop
ing kids of IL, 13, Ia and 15-on up
through Is.
This is something we have over
looked. It is something we are still
facing in a Istless fashion-despite
the fact that from 100, 900 selectees,

VICTORY GARDENS

THE METROPOLITAN CITY
DWELLER, should he plant a VIC

to keep the two-legged bugs from
harvesting his crop. In rural COM
munities, such as the one In which
I live, Victory gardens are entirely
safe. Even watermelons planted
along the edge of a sidewalk will
not tempt the small boys. To all of

The Case of Nelson
Several have written in, asking
why Byron Nelson, a hale and

the grounds of "easy bleeding" to
use the common term.
This is story that few know.
Suspended from small chain
around Nelson's neck there is a
small disk, hidden from sight, with a
certain number on it. Byron has
been wearing this for some years.
This disk represents the blood type
that Nelson must have in the wake
of any cut.

Hyde Park, N. Y. July 29-CUP) Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt said today in her daily newspaper column that she is opposed to mixed marriages.
 Tt seems to me that in the mix ing of racial strains,' she wrote, "the difficulties which always exist in any marriage are greatly en- hanced. Races will mix, however. Even in this country, we see the evidences of this mixture .
 q. many generations and count less individuals are involved in the difficulties and suffering occasioned by mixed marriages. The kroWledge of this will keep anyone from ad vocating such marriages if they love the people and want them to be happy. Some people will face the situation and then decide to take the risks involved"

In fact, he's exceptionally proud that he was able to contrib ute his bit to the nations war ef- fort. Aldo zeffiro, Boy Scout and Torrington high school sophomore, fell from a city truck and his foot caught in the dual wheels. The foot bones were crushed and liga- ments were badly torn. There's a possibility that the foot will be stiffened, and that Aldo will be par tially crippled for life.
 But Aldo-good scout that he is isn't downhearted because his good turn had such tough ending. He's anxious for his injury to heal, so he can walk again, and help out on other community projects of this type"
