INDIANS MAY HAVE HOTTEST R00NIE M '49
By HUGH FULLERTON, Jr.

NEW YORK, Nov. 30.-tR- The hottest rookie prospect of the world ohamgicn Cleveland Indians squad next spring may be third base man Fred Marsh, who hit .305 for Oklahoma City last summer :. Fred is a protege of Cy Slap nicka, who hung the same cant miss tag on him that he once hung on Bob Teller.
 Of course, the Indians have a fair country third baseman in Ken Neither, but Marsh's record may be the reason why Ken re- gently remarked: I've got a sneaking suspicion that a guy nam ed Keltner might go some place in q big deal before too long time. y
 Branch Rickey who had some un- pleasant kickbacks from last years trades, doesn't plan to do any business at the winter meetings unless it is selling off some sur plus farm products He'll have to sell some or plough them under Papa Bear George Halas de- nies that quarterback Bobby Layne is up for grabs.

Beaudry Motor
Offers Added Service

TucsonianS have always seemed
quite satisfied with the service Of
fered at the Beaudry Motor Co.,
843 N. Stone, but owner S. M.
Beaudry will never settle for any
thing less than the best when it
comes to facilities for servicing
your car.
1t was with this thought in
mind that Mr.. Beaudry announced
this week that he has added space
to his present location. "Now we
have 10000 square feet of space to
work with, every inch of it ded-
icated to SERVICE" says genial
Mr.. Beaudry, "and we invite you
in to the best equipped shop in
the S.W. when your car begins to
act up"
incidentally, Beaudry Will soon
preside at the annual information
al meeting of the Highway 80 As
sociation, and there is more than
a remote possibility that he will
be elected president of the group.
He is a leader in community af-
fairs in Tucson and is chairman of
the Tucson Chamber of Commerce

By Virginia PistOr

1t seems to me that each year
I begin to get vacation-minded a
little earlier. / used to start think
ing seriously about holiday along
toward the first of July, but of
late years, I find myself toying
with the idea in May, completely
preoccupied with plans in June
and absolutely frantic by July.
When the heat really begins to
envelope us, and the dust hangs
heavy in the air and the night is
noisy with the cry of the cricket
when the steering wheel of a
car feels like the business side of
a flatiron, when food ceases to be
one of life's pleasures and becomes
only means of sustaining energy,
when after fifteen minutes, a
fresh cotton dress, once a thing
of beauty, looks like last years
tiredest house dress, when the
thought of rain becomes an obses-
sion, when the tinkle of ice in a
glass sounds better than a
symphony orchestra--it is summer
time, and an airlines ad or a rail-
road timetable can be darned ex-
citing reading!
Par doxic ally, as my
enthusiasm in the matter of
vacation mounts, it is tempered
by my inability to decide (only
assuming I could have the kind I
wanted) exactly what sort of
thing I would consider a real
vacation.
Now of course there are many
and varied schools of thought on
the subject and at various times
/ have subscribed to most of them,
but of one thing 1 am convinced,
unoriginal though it is. A vaca-
ton, whether it is long, well plan
ned, de luxe affair, or a short,
inexpensive kind of fling, should,
within reasonable limits, free the
person taking it from his regular
RESPONSIBILITIES
1t has always seemed to me that
the man for instances, who plans
the family vacation around the
idea of a cabin In the mountains
or cottage on the beach, is doing
fine by papa and the kids, but is
surely providing a busman's holi-
day for mama, and as far as 1
am concerned, it simply doesn't
make sense. After having cooked
three meals a day all year, I
should spend a week or two
wrestling with some evilly con-
trived wood-burning cabin stove,
the while curse the day I was
born! Or, worse still, I should
sweat out half or more of a Tue
son summer, complete with house
work, only to toast myself to a
crisp on some windy California
beach--still with meals to cook
and sand to be swept out of a
rented and inconvenient cottage
every day. Not for me please!
Admitting the difficulties in
giving everyone a brief respite
from the accustomed and neces-
sary routine, particularly since
the average income doesn't run
to ocean voyages or swank
mountain resorts, its still fun to
dream--or is it?
Every once in a while, / think
the ultimate in a holiday would
be to spend week in a very good
hotel, with large supply of the
latest detective stories and few
light (but light) novels. There I
would lie in bed reading, sleeping
and eating quantities of food I
hadn't had to cook. Air conditi-
tioning of course--and no tele-

berlin AirIih Flies
Industrial Materials
To Aid City's Economy
by the Associated Press

BERLIN, Dec. 10.-The blockade
busting Allied airlift is flying in
dustrial goods into Berlin to bolster
the city's sagging economy.
w. r. Babcock, deputy American
commandant of Berlin, says strate-
gic materials In limited quantity are
being flown in to provide a measure
of relief from the six-month-old
Russian blockade.
Mr.. Babcock said 90.8 tons of in
dustrial goods were brought to Ber-
lin last week.
Some Pig Iron Flown I'm.
He confirmed that small guam
titles of pig iron have been flown
in for ALLEGATION to Berlin industry,
among other items.
Everything comes in on a priority
basis he explained. I'VE list it
this way: Food, medical products,
coal, newsprint and industrial equip
ment."
Since the blockade started. 6,275
tons of miscellaneous materials for
the Berlin economy have been
brought in. Included are about 100
tons of motor vehicle tires, some
trolley car parts and electrical
equipment.
"A big German radio factory noti-
fed us they had to- have one item
to complete their product" Mr.. Bah
cock illustrated. 1T was small
piece. Our planes brought 1t In
and the company's sets were nm
tshed and sold"
Consumer goods also find space
in the airlift. The Berliner depends
on it for eevrything that can't be
produced in the city. he said.
Some Equipment Provided.
Wool and cotton yarn, both ex-
tremely scarce, run the blockade to
help the textile industry, and some
textile plant operating equipment
also has been provided.
The planes crammed 3,035 tons OF
newsprint into their cargo space,
too, he said.
"The very fact that we can spare
space, even If it is small at present,
for industrial equipment should be
adequate proof that the airlift is q
success" Mr.. Babcock said. "The
only thing that can beat us Is the
weather. And we have managed to
do very well despite the inclement
conditions Of late November"
