Frenchwomen Say
yanks Loving
Isn't Like Films

PARIS, June 81. UP)-French-
women say the Yanks are lousy
lovers and considerably less we'll
behaved than Hollywood movies had
led them to expect, according to
the Partisan weekly, Samedi Soir.
Annoyed by a recent column in
the army newspaper Stars and
Stripes, in which scores of GTs air
ed I, their gripes against French
women, the weekly retaliated with
a few complaints about the Yanks.
Here's what French women don't
like about Americans" the news
paper said:
First, their getting too often and
unbearably drunk:
Second, their devil-may- care at
titude: They talk and laugh too
loud:
Their inability to distinguish a
respectable woman from a tart:
Fourth, their insolence to women
on the streets:
Fifth, their inability, except in
the movies. to pay refined, charm
ing and sentimental court to wom-
en-"
According to the Samedi Soir,
French men are pretty bitter about
the whole deal They feel that the
Yanks are exerting a vulgarizing
influence on French girls, teaching
them to "chew gum and talk through
their noses" among other things.
The average Frenchman also is
somewhat exercised by the GIs
reckless driving and cocksure atti-
tude
Samedi Soir said the Stars and
Stripes column listed only one legi-
innate complaint against French
women: Their hair-dos are too COM
plex
But the weekly commented the
Yanks mistakenly accuse the French
of being cold and inhospitable in
comparison with the Belgians, and
too touchy about Frances contribu-
ton to the Allied war effort.

A group of modern selections

ties in Spain" (Spaulding) and the
violin favorite, Flight of the Bum
blebee" (Rimsky- -Korsakov).
Mrs. North accompanied Miss
Lakey for her violin selections.
Closing the programs was an out
standing number by Miss Lakey,
Miss Wilkinson and Mrs. Livingston
at the second piano. The group
played Mendelssohn's "On Wings of
Song for an impressive finish to
the recital. AS an encore, Miss LAX
ey played Schubert's Ave Maria"

tral union high school this year

Back in my granddad's day, folks
didn't seem to get too upset if they
missed the stagecoach and had to
wait a week, but know people who
are in such hurry that they get
all upset if they miss a panel in a
swinging door.
But saving minutes sometimes
does a good job, at that. Alabama
points out that minutes may be
important in preventing milk
from souring. If there are only
20 milk patrons on a route and
the truck driver who picks up
the milk can save three minutes
per patron, that's an hour saved
in getting milk into the plant.
This is pointed out in a leaflet
telling how to make a"roadside
milk stand. Such stands save time
and labor for the milk hauler, and
this winter you may have time to
build such stand. The driver will
appreciate it. ...
You can get copy Of the plan
by writing the Extension Service,
Alabama Polytechnic Institute.
Auburn, Ala, and ask for the leafet
"A Roadside Milk Stand."'
Also, maybe you can give the
lla,,ler a Lit by running a drag over
the road into your farm, or in front
of the stand if it is rutty. That may
save both time and trouble for him.

Cubs Set Stick Pace
AS IS n. |. Players
DO 300 or Better
BY MURRAY ROSE,
Associated Press Sports Writer.


NEW YORK, Dec. 17-Fifteen
National League regulars finished
the 1945 season with 800 averages
or better and one of the reasons
the Chicago Cubs captured the
loops pennant was that they had
three players in the select circle
including Batting Champion Phil
Cavarretta, the official figures dis
closed today.
With Cavarretta setting sizzling
1855 pace, the Cubs also romped off
with the team batting title on a
PIT average, four points higher than
the runner-up st. Louis Cardinals.
Cavarretta, whose slugging feats
earned him the baseball writers
award as the circuits most val
liable player, staged stretch drive
to overtake Boston's Tommy
Holmes. The Braves fiychaser led
for most of the campaign and in
one hot squirt hit safely in 81
straight games to break Rogers
Hornsby's consecutive hitting rec
ord. Holmes slumped in the final
months and wound up with an aver
age of 1852.
Other Chicago members of the
800 Club were the Veteran Stan
Hack who finished in tie for fourth
with 1923 and Don johnson, the
youthful second baseman, who COL
lected neat 1902 mark. The
Bruins Andy Pafko narrowly missed
joining the group with .298.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Dec, 17-All
the Redskins have contracts for 1946
and there aren't more than two or
three who won't be back next year.
One of these probably will be Player
Coach Wayne Millner, who is ready
to hang up his cleats after proving
football players can come back after
laying off a couple years. Millner
played a bang-up game yesterday as
the Tribe bowed to Cleveland in
their play-off for the National Foot
ball League title and now seems
content to call it quits.
The Redskins will reassemble the
second week in August at either
San Diego or Los Angeles for prac-
tice next summer. They also have a
return engagement with the Rams
at Los Angeles the first week in
September.
President George Marshall praised
the team at dinner last night and
predicted that it would be even
better next year than it was this
season. He said he was proud OF
its performance and that although
the other teams would be stronger
in 46 he still thought the Redskins
would have enough power to win
the Eastern title.
The Redskins already have scat
tered. Only about half the squad
returned to Washington. Sammy
