Man, 81, Cracks Nuts
On Birthday, Plans
Motorbike Programs

APPLETON. WIS. TAP JOE
Leppla was cracking hickory nuts
on his 9lst birthday. waiting for
spring so he can renew his claim of
being the worlds oldest motorcycle
rider.
The mar who figures he's the
granddaddy of the motorcycle
doesn't usually put away his bike
for the winter. He kept riding
last year when the icy season set
in. But Joe picked up a cold this
winter-the first in 40 years. he
says-so he decided to sit out the
snow and cold for the first time.
Leppla retired from farming at
the age of go and took to the mo-
torcycle so he'd have something to
do and so he could keep on getting
plenty of fresh air. Since then he's
worn out five bikes and has well
over 100, 900 miles on his sixth.
When he winds up. Joe usually
heads for a fishing spot in this area.
but he's taken many long jaunts out
west.
Leppla might claim another title
when he climbs aboard his cycle
this spring. Those hickory nuts
he's been cracking at the home of
his daughter here aren't merely
time passers. Joe says he has 85
pounds of nut meats so far and is on
his way to becoming the champion
hickory nut cracker of the world.

1850 People to Share
In Two-M Million Dollars

NEW YORK.-A New York com
pany has announced it has been
hired to look for 1850 persons to
whom two recently organized Chi
cage companies want to give S2,298.-
038.
The pleasing part about the whole
thing for the missing 4,500 if
they're found-is that they don't
know they have the money coming.
The potentially lucky 4.500 are
missing stockholders in the Mid
land Utilities 20. and the Midland
United co., both Of Chicago. The
campany hired to find the stock
holders is the Tracers Company OF
America, in New York.
The last known addresses of the
missing persons are scattered in
Alaska, Hawaii, Is foreign nations
and in 500 cities. towns and vii
lagos of America. including Paw
Paw and Midland, Mich. Nectar
inc, Pa, and Broken Bow. Ohio.
Under a court order last year in
the proceedings for reorganization
of the Chicago companies. the court
decreed that stockholders entitled
to participate in the exchange Of
securities under the plan Of re-
organization must surrender their
old securities before June 30, 1858.
Otherwise they lose their rights
to any securities or cash held for
them.

Singer Outlines Technique
For Bathroom Sinatras

BOSTON.-Do they laugh when
you sit down in the bathtub to sing?
'It shouldn't happen" singer
Bobby Wayne says. ANYONE can
sing. All he has to do is brush up
on the three RS of music"
Just let the bathroom warblers
know their own voices, he said. and
it would eliminate the wifely COM
plants about squawking seals.
Wayne, who gets no complaints
because he whispers lyrics. believes
most Of the shower and bathtub
singers have good voices. but try
to do the wrong things with them.
Some are the Sinatra type and
try to sing opera. Others are Groom
ers who try to yodel.
1T can't be DONE" he said as he
recalled an effort by Lawrence lib
bett to sing the "Hut-Sut Song"
The opera fans screamed. The
bobby seekers screamed. too. Tib-
bett is terrific at opera, but he got
out Of his vocal circle"
The three musical R's-resonance,
range and rythm-will put any
one in his proper niche. Wayne said.
and tag him as a yodeler. balladier.
crooner. light classical or opera
singer.
You can gauge your resonance
by the ability to hold a note power
fully. The longer you can sustain
it, the more like an opera singer
you are. If you can't hold it long,
you're more like a heart patting
crooner."
