TUCSON HAS GONE TICKET
HAPPY! There isn't mailbox in
Tucson that has had a chance to
collect any dust. Yesterday I ran
into an old friend OF mine. He
looked about two feet shorter in
his threadbare suit. His eyes were
followed and shadowed from
anguish and overwork.
"Joe," 1 said, "you look terrible.
What's the trouble?"
"Ticketsp
what do you mean-Tickets?"
Then Joe told me the following.
All over the country as well as in
Tucson, the printers are working
night and day stamping out tick
cts for this and that for hundreds
of organizations. Each one of them
are worthwhile and probably nee
essary. But the results of too
many tickets can be disastrous.
Let's go back. and look at our
friend Joe.
Joe, who was once six feet four,
is now four feet six He received
thirteen different dance tickets in
one week. Being very kind and
generous soul he bought them all.
Joe danced so much that he wore
off two feet.
Dancing made Joe very hun
cry. Fortunately he received forty
different tickets for forty differ
ent kinds of dinners. Joe attended
these dinners. He ate so much
that his clothes no longer fit him.
He couldn't afford new clothes
he'd given all his money to these
various organizations.
: Well-maybe your own particu-
lar case isn't as bad as Joe's. If
this present deluge of tickets both
in Tucson and from other cities
keep pouring into your mail box,
it might well be. Your possible
solution might be to print your
tickets for your own relief, but
you'll probably starve to death
while waiting in line to get them
printed.
Seriously, these worthwhile or
ganizations which have been ask
ing for and getting your support
truly deserve it, and should con-
tinue to be supported by us. How
ever, I feel these organizations
are possibly doing themselves
harm and discouraging their
sources of revenue by lombard
ing people with bales and reams
of tickets.
There are doubtless many solu-
tons to, this particular problem
that confronts the Tucson COM
munity. Frankly, I'd like to hear
some of them.
By the way - thanks to that
lady who wrote me regarding last
weeks column. Mrs. Tucson
Housewife, I'd like nothing better
than to present your side of the

ers. Fortunately the journalistic

CRANES IN BUSINESS
A DECADE

Last Nov. 26 marked 10 years
since the founding of Crane Can
dies by Mr.. and Mrs. Louis Crane
at "a N. Stone.
From the day it opened and
even thru the war period, they
never deviated from their high
standards of candy making. Elliot
Crane, who with his mother, Mrs.
Lena Crane, now operate the
business, represents the 4th gen
Grafton of candy makers. His
father came from a line of candy
makers who were artists in their
profession in Russia. Since Aug
ust 1947, Elliot's wife, Ruth, has
also been active in the business.

Pigid training means laying OH
sweets and suds and keeping reg
ular hours. 1t works wonders,
says Haas, who at IA doesn't look
q day over so and is as spry as
q colt. He knows basket ball,
too, having played in those wire
cages back In the early 1905
when men were rash, games were
rough and scores lower than the
new look.
Never will forget the game we
fthe Wilkes-Barre, Pa, Barons)
played with Pittston. We didn't
get a point the first half and they
piled up an 1870 lead. A fellow
by the name of McGuffey got 16
points so we put Pop Trax on
him In the second half and Pitts
ton didn't make q point while we
got 10 and tied 1t UP. Then we
beat 'em In the extra period,
2l-l9."
Remembering those low-scor-
ing days made Haas wonder
about the telephone figures in
current pro competition. He
couldn't visualize teams piling up
so many points until he came out
and had a gander at them. What
he. thought Is plain, simple
heresy.

Cops Need More Training, Says Old Pro Ace
But Jack Haas Thinks Modern Come Better Than Ancient Days

got him back in town early
enough to conduct . business
mems gym class ut the YMCA
three times a week In addition
to playing basket ball. The foot
ball and court seasons usually
overlapped and Jack was a half
back whose services were in de-
mand, which presented q prob
lem until he discovered he could
play football in the afternoon
and basket ball at night.
"It sounds like the old ma
larkey," he confided, "but I've
participated in Sc different sports
from archery to yachting. Liked
'em all, too"
Jack played competitive base
ball IS years, starting as a IA
year-old second baseman, on the
Eorthum b e rland (Pa.) High
School team, but around Wash
ington he's better known as a
coach and official. One season
he refereed $3.50 basket ball games
and in the Washington and Lee
University invitational scholastic
tournament one year he worked
nine games in one day. Billy
Gooch was supposed to take half
the games but was day late.
In 1910 when Ingram Me-
mortal Church threw open its
swimming pool and gAn to girls
for the first time. Haas was
given the task of coaching SWIM
ming and basket ball. A prize
pupil was Mrs. Elizabeth Mae
Craig, now a widely known
Washington newspaper corre-
spondent.
"she wasn't as big as q
mouse" Jack recalled, And
couldn't swim a lick, but she'd
get up on the board and dive
of and we'd have to fish her
out each time. She learned to
swim that way"
Haas coached at Fairmont,
Gunston Hall, Bristol Girls
School and other places, but the
Ingram team was his best. Men
weren't permitted to watch the
games at first-too risque,
y'know. But times changed and
it wasn't long before rivalries
were so intense Haas frequent
" had to call on Jim Collihower,
Georgetown star and official, to
handle the games.
Jack also did some sports writ
ing in those days for local papers
and 1t kept him pretty busy, so
much so that he's content to slow
down bit and take 1t easier. He
decided he was eating more than
necessary about 20 years ago
and cut down on the food and
felt so much better he wrote
book about it. For exercise he
likes golf and plays pretty
good game. He wasn't bad at
tennis until he gave it up few
wears ago,
