Yours
By RIA BARLEY

NEW YORK, (GLOBAL)-Last
Saturday night, this reporter was
a guest on the Fred Robbins all
night WORTH show over channel
9. Fred Robbins show is the only
all-night live TV show in the
country. Freddie interviewed this
writer and played his MGM record
ing Of our. tune, Laugh" done by
Ivory Hunter. Robbins said he
liked the number and told his audi
ence that Johnny Ray should surely
record it, that it's a natural for
Ray. He made an appeal via his
all night show for Mitch Miller of
Columbia Records to let Johnny
Ray record this writer's Laugh"
Fred Robbins is a liberal in every
sense of the word, and he plugs
any performer he thinks is worthy
of it. He's great in my book. This
show is produced by the capable
David Leeds.
Herb Kenny and his quartet are
booked for some good dates. Herb,
the brother of Bill Kenny and a
former member of the Inkspots, is
being acclaimed by Broadway
critics as having a better singing
voice than Bill. Tin Pan Alley
critics also say that Herbs quartet
will bring back the true quartet;
for today most quartets aren't
quartets."

Property. Taxes
All Washed Away

CLEVELAND = Herman David,
conscientious treasurer of the Gle
veland Bar Assn, has written off
his lake front real estate holdings.
David had a piece of property
on Lake Erie near gainesville, O.,
and when he did not receive a tax
bill, he called the matter to county
treasurer Howard Cozad's atten-
ton.
In part, this is Cozad's reply:
"No bill was sent as there
is no lot left to tax. Due to erosion,
it has all washed into the lake and
we have taken it off the duplicate"

OPS FACTS

OPS has amended its General
Ceiling Price Regulation, as re-
quired by amendments to the De-
Tense Production Act, to provide
that sales of fertilizer to farmers
shall be considered retail sales in
stead of wholesale sales. This
change in the law may have the
effect of raising ceiling prices
somewhat. OPS officials, however,
cautioned that sellers who gave
special prices to farmers during
the base period, or to different
classes of farmers, must continue
to do so now
OPS has been urged by the AL
falfa Products Industry Advisory
temporary subcommittee to issue a.
tailored ceiling price regulation for
its s60,000,00O annual volume in
dustry. The proposed regulation
would set dollar-and-cents ceiling
prices applicable to all professors
of this important ingredient to|
mixed stock feeds.
OPS Director Ellis Arnall has
informed the steel industry that
any increase in the steel price cell
ing will be strictly limited.

Backyard Bird Dogs Win

NEW HAVEN, Conn Back
yard bird dog training pays eff.
Henry j. Townsend, Jr., says
so, and with some authority. His
back yard trained dogs have turn
ed in a tidy number of field
trial wins since 194S. Some of
them have been against mighty
tough competition.
One of his good ones is Rayn-
hams Beau Tinker classy setter.
Tink knows the difference bet
ween wild and liberated birds and
says SO with an almost impcrcep-
tible wag of his tail
Il still believe l have proved" !"
he says, that it is possible for
the amateur to train good bird
dogs in what amounts TO his own
back yard
Mostly, the training of topflight
dogs is placed in the hands Of
professionals, men who give all
their time TO it and are well paid.
This somewhat rules out of the
"one-gallus' owner Of limited
means, with a potentially eXcep-
tional dog.
Certainly no professional is
needed to train a dog for ordinar
purposes. What Townsend had in
mind is that something extra that
is needed TO put an animal into
topflight field trial competition.
That something which comes from
long and patient work with the
dog.
you've got to know and like
dogs to do il" ne says, but the
assumption is that one doesn't
undertake the training of dogs for
serious competition without haV-
ing those qualities. That goes for
professional and amateur alike.
My point, of course, is that
perfection can be achieved BY
the amateur as we'll as by the
professional. And with what seems
TO me TO be a great ueal more
all around satisfaction. What real
fun can there be in owning dog
trained and handled by someone
else, regardless Of what honors
it wins? You can't really say such
a dog is yours"
The youngish Townsend, plant
superintendent for the Marlin
Firearms Company here, breeds
as we'll as trains his dogs, both
settlers and pointers, and has done
it since in his early teens. Much
of his know how has come through
the trial and error method. His
dogs have won 20 firsts, Is Sc
conds and Is thirds in various
classes of competition since 1913.
His top win was at Peace Dale,
r. l., Last Nov. H. when the
judges declared Raynham's Beau
Tinker winner OF the Northeastern
Field Tria! Associations amateur

liquidate a sort Of free enterprise

A Bumper Whea
Crop May Be Las
For Some Time

WASHINGTON (AP) Farmers
arc growing this year what may
turn out TO be their last bumper
wheat crop for some time to come.
An Agriculture Department re-
port has indicated a prospective
wheat harvest of about / u billion
bushels, which would be the third
largest of record and 26 per cent
larger than last year.
This big crop IS being grown
under Il department rcc0mmenda-
ton that production be boosted
this year for a tWOlold prupOsc
restoring dwindling reserves and
providing ample supplies for cX-
port under "cut-ratC' price pro-
gram.
Under an International wheat
agreement, this country is export
ing $50 million bushels year at
prices averaging about IS cents a
buShel under the domestic price
But this agreement will expire at
the end of the marketing season
for this years crop, unless eX-
tended.
Tho administration has said it
win seek extension Of the pact, but
strong opposition has developed in
congress because of the cost to the
government, which has been run
ming about 1S5 million dollars a
year The government pays the
difference between the cutratc cX-
port price and the higher domestic
price.
Without the agreement, Amer
ican wheat would be priced higher
in world markets and consequent
ly would probably find fewer buy
ers.
Officials have said that any siz-
able loss in the export market
would probably lead to re=imposi-
ton of prewar government con-
trolls to hold down production
Participating in the wheat agree
ment are major wheat exporting
and importing countries.
The declared purpose of the pact
is to stabilize world supplies and
prices of the grain.

fore April | when the stickers had
2to be attached Then he told
deputy registrars such cars may
display the stiekers on the dash
board.
Owners of house trailers, motor
cycles, commercial trailers and
automobile dealers received decais
instead of windshield stickers. The
decals are attached directly to the
license plate.
The Bureau said the decals I'M

rusty plates or those with oily
surfaces.
If you lose your windshield
sticker or decal you can apply for
another at the office Of a deputy
registrar The cost is one dollar
plus the deputy's 25 cent fee. EIe
won't give YOU the sticker directly
but viii mail your request to the
bureau in Columbus, which will
mail the sticller directly to you.
If you sell your car, you destroy
the paper Windshield sticker, but
not the metal license plates. The
plates are transferred to your new
car, if you buy one. The deputy
registrar then issues you a new
red windshield sticker for S125
If you sell your car and buy an
other, you have 10 days under the
law to get the new title transfer
red IL you've gotten rid Of the
old car and taken possession Of
the new one but don't have the
new title yet, you won't be able to

The Bureau of Motor Vehicles
advises motorists in such a situa-
ton to be sure to carry their bill
Of sale with them or some other
proof that they have bought a new
car within the previous 10 days
and haven't yet received the new
title.
This may save you time and
