DEAR NH. CRAUER: How do you feel
about hostesses who try to be match
makers for their guests?
ANSWER: The other evening was invited
to buffet supper. "Is there someone
special you'd like to bring?" asked my
hostess on the phone. well -" l said,
I think l might - But it was too late
Her voice came swooping in: Fine. I'll
have nice girl for you" And that was that.

Although glance at me will reveal that I'm
not Gods gift to women, still have most
of my hair, four suits and fairly steady
job, so l probably qualify as an eligible
bachelor. don't mind this status particu-
larly - but apparently many of my friends
do. appreciate their concern, but some
times wish they wouldn't work 50 hard
at it.
Take the incident above knew that
somewhere some otherwise fortunate lass
would shortly be party to a similar con-
versation with our hostess, ending with the
phrase, Fine, III have a nice fellow for
you" Me.
That sort of operation does not make for
the easiest flow of conversation between
the couple when finally they do meet
I know that L and probably the girl,
too - would rather be invited simply as
an individual instead of being paired off.

quently the extra man really has to work for
his hors d'oeuvres. Many hostess has said
to me, Alice is being neglected - 60 talk
to her," Or, worse yet, right in front of the
girl, Wouldn't you like to drop Florence
off on your way homer" Usually, Florence
lives at the other end of town - and, very
often, has her own ideas about her home

man first (and the girl, too) would save
embarrassment.

sponsibilities of the extra man. like meet
ing girls - as long as my hostess is shrewd
enough to let me feel I'm exercising some
choice. l think the whole thing might be
summed up in this suggestion to hostesses:
don't press!
I'm just remembering the sequel to the
conversation which started this story. The
girl greeted me with mild loathing at the
party. We started slowly, but soon found
we liked each other fine. At goodnight
time, was getting ready to suggest a
nightcap to the girl when our hostess said,
The Stones are driving uptown they'll
drop you and then Ben." You can't win.

Charles 10 Risk Title
In New York Bout, but
State Won't Say So
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 28.-Ezzard
Charles, the National Boxing As
sociation heavyweight champion,
is going to defend his title in New
York State, where he is only a
logical contender"
Charles signed yesterday to
meet Freddie Beshore of Harris
burg, Pa, in a 15-rounder at Buff
falo, February %. It's okay with
the New York State Athletic Com
mission but you can't mention
title.
In New York, Charles is only a
logical contender" Across the
river in New Jersey, he's the
champ. It's all little confusing.
This isn't the first time. either.
In fact, Charles made his first
defense" in New York City
against Gus Lesnevich last sum-
mer. If Ezzy loses he'll blow"
his NBA title.
Beshore, good-looking young
fellow of 26 with light brown wavy
hair, spared with Charles at San
Francisco last fall when Ez was
getting ready to fight Pat Valen-
tino. Maybe Beshore thinks he
found a chink in Charles defense.
Whatever Beshore does, it didn't
work against Lee Oma, who won
two decisions over him in the last
two months. The last was a close
one. ..
Nobody announced exact per-
centages for the Buffalo match
but it is understood that Charles
will get 3712 per cent, plus an
other 21a per cent for training
expenses for a total of 40 per cent.
Beshore will get TN per cent.
Guarantees are not allowed in
New York State, but there is a
report Ezzard won't go home with
less than $4,000.

mile race this year.

Joe Barry of Ireland and Tom
Kirwan of Penn.
Wilt, who prefers the longer

considers an unfamiliar distance,

Inquirer Games. He will have to
improve on that if he's to beat
Gehrmann.

been sort of a Gloomy Gus where

Clean Up Corn for
Corn Borer Control

The European corn borer, a high
ly destructive insect, can be effec-
lively controlled, according to Will
liam E. Tarbell. One of the i'm
portant ways to cut down the num-
bers of these pests, he says, is to
clean up all corn stalks in feeding
lots.
In addition, he points out, large
stemmed weeds should be cleaned
out of corn fields and fence rows.
Less borers will be found where
last years corn stalks and trash
are plowed under.
'Do a clean job of covering all
stalks completely" say Tarbell.
''Then plant as late as you can.
Corn borer moths lay eggs on early
corn"
The borer and corn worm can be
controlled by spraying and dusting,
but these methods are not as eff
fective as those above. 1t is diff
cult to apply insecticides at exactly
the proper time.
