or broad. Cut of the flaps at
the top with a sharp knife or
razor blade. To make an espe-
cially neat job, bind the top edges
with the brown gummed tape used
to seal packages. To do this cut
pieces just down the middle and
wet then apply smoothly over the
cut edge with the fold over the
top. When all four edges are
covered you still have a little cor
ner to cover. Cut a piece Of tape
about 2 inches long and fold In
both directions, wet and apply
over the corner so that one fold
is at the top edge and the other
fold fits in the corner. Give this
box two coats Of paint or enamel
and a decal. Light blue or green,
ivory or white are excellent col
ors for bathroom waste baskets.
Red or whatever color scheme is
wanted can fit the kitchen. For
more formal furniture black
enamel is excellent.
We have found these baskets
very serviceable. I have a black
one which has been used in the
living room for four years. An
ivory basket decorated with baby
designs makes a good place for
baby's toys. A is or 20 cent can
of enamel will be sufficient for a
medium sized basket and a To-
cent decal does the decorating.
Every one has an old paint brush
which can be used.
Splendid pot holders can be
made from the good parts Of bath
towels which have worn so thir.
in places that they are no longer
of much use as bath towels. Use
about four thicknesses cut to right
size. With a heavy needle and the
same heavy crochet thread use
blanket stitch around the outside.
An initial. star. diamond or other
conventional shape made with
outline stitch in the center will
hold the pieces from slipping. This
makes q very inexpensive pot
holder which is really effective in
keeping out the heat. Put a bone
or metal ring on one corner to
hang it by If you wish.
Very nice wall plaques can be
made from plaster Of paris, shall
low dish and q bent pin. A very
small pie plate or china dish of
the size of the fruit dish to a din
ner set can be filled to a depth
of between " to u inch with
plaster of paris and a hairpin bent
into a loop should be inserted
while it is still soft. When it har-
dens this forms the loop to hang
it by. When the plaster is hard
remove by running water over it
to loosen the plaque. Let it dry
again and paste on it or paint
with water colors whatever picture
is wanted. A snapshot of the child
giving the gift will make it some
thing extra.
I hope Mrs. M. r. c. will be
very successful in making gifts
with her boys. Maybe some
mothers will help their boys to
make waste baskets for Dad and
pot holders or knitting bags for
aunts. They are gifts that will be
appreciated.

Indications point to a three-way

NEW YORK, Jan. 29-Golfers
who are skating on the thin ice Of
semi-amateurism" received a pointed
warning from President Fielding
Wallace Of the United States Golf
Association today that they are
headed for trouble.
In his report prepared for de-
livery at the annual meeting Of
COLTS governing body in this country,
Wallace told the assembled delegates
that he had during '48 bumped into
some unfortunate" problems of
amateur status.
The association strongly advises
players who skate on the thin ice Of
semi to decide wheth-
er to be true amateurs or to turn
professional and have it over with, "
said the man from Augusta, Ga.
IF they do not, their disqualified
ton as amateurs by the association
is only matter of time and con-
crete evidence"
Outside of that little matter, Wal
lace reported, golf is doing fine
throughout the 48 States and is in
imminent danger of running out of
problems. USGA membership has
reached a new high of 1890 clubs
126 more than the previous record
Wallace pointed with especial
satisfaction to the fact that the
professional golfers during the past
year finally knuckled under and
agreed to abide by the hard-and-
fast playing rules of the association.
The money players got little care
less during the war.

Metz Pacing Phoenix
After Snead Topples
To Stroke Off Lead
BY the Associated Press

PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. 29.-Jaunty
Dick Metz throws all of his %
years professional golf experience
into play today to protect a thin
lead in the $4,000 Phoenix Open
golf tournament.
Yesterday the beret-topped vet
eran now playing out of Virginia
Beach, Va. styled a 3-under-par
68 for total of 1877.
Just one stroke behind came
sweet swinging Sammy Snead Of
White Sulphur Springs, w. Va,
whose putter lost him a chance to
stay in the lead for a second
straight day.
Slammin' Sam needed 10 strokes
on his second 18-hole round when
misbehaving putter cost him good
chances for brides on five holes as
it failed to warm up throughout the
day.
The golfing dentist from Men,
phis, DR.. Cary Middlecoff, was all
by himself in third place with l39.
He put together second round Of
68 although missing a 2-foot putt
on the first hole.
A half-dozen golfers, led by Ben
Hogan, Hershey, Pa, winner of the
last two 1949 Open tournaments and
favorite here, were punched at 140.
Another eight stood at 141, including
Bob Hamilton of Landover, Md
Hogan blaZed back into the run
ming with 68 yesterday. His fellow
Texan, Jim Demaret now golflng
out of Ojai, Calf, had trouble on
wet green's early in the morning and
finished with an even-par II that
put him in the 140 bracket. There
also were Clayton Heafner, Char.
lotte, N. c.; Skip Alexander, South
ern Pines, N. c.; Marty Furgol, AL
buquerque, N. Mex, and Johnny
Palmer, Badin, N. C.
Alexander, Furgol and Heafner all
had second round scores OF 67-best
in the tournament to date.
Amateur Frank Stranahan Of
Toledo, Ohio. also whipped around
in ST with Eagle threes on the 1st
and 18th holes. His soaring opening
day rs left him behind Doug Ford
among the amateurs. Ford, hailing
from Larchment, N. Y, scored a So

The only beef lodged by Richard

new species of golfer who, for six
months, is neither an amateur or a

ed in space.

citation. it seems, passed a rule re-
Gently which requires an amateur to

Evers Is Among Three
Spurning Tiger Bids
BY the Associated Press

DETROIT, Jan. 29.-A hint of
possible holdout trouble intruded to-
day on the Detroit Tigers, up to now
apparently a happy family all
around.
Their dependable center fielder,
Walter (Hoot Evers, scorned a re-
ported $4,000 contract even though
it contained a pay boost from last
year.
Evers returned his contract un-
signed and so did two others, First
Baseman George Vico and Rookie
Pitcher Lou KretloW.
The attitude of Evers, only Tiger
OF 194S to bat in 100 runs, caused
the most eyebrow raising.
Experts speculated that Hoot
wasn't satisfied with his terms when
compared to the reported $4,000
given Dick Wakefield. Evers
played regularly last year, hitting
314 and driving in 103 runs, while
Wakefield. often on the bench, hit
276 and drove in 70 runs.
