V Trial of Russell Movie

Where va goin' in such a hur-
Ery?" and replied, 1--WE gotta get

its true.
OF course, the number of genu-
inc ad-libbers in show business
has always been small. It's an
art which requires quick mind
and a feeling for the bizarre and
ronic.
But the ad lib or unexpected
situation has always had a big
appeal for the audience, and
some of the biggest yocks are
gotten that way.
The rehearsed ad lib, however,
is something else again. Unless
it's done sparingly and smoothly,
the average TV viewer can see
that a fluff or ad lib has been
planted in the script.
If the comedian overworks
this particular type of humor.
he will soon find his rating slid

quency of these cultivated ad Ibis.
Viewers like to laugh. but they
don't like to be taken for fools.
Red Shelton was criticized last
season for OVERRIDING his "this-
guy -haS-got-to-go" routine as a
supposed recovery from a planned
fluff or in-the-script ad lib.
When these things continue to
happen week after week with the
same comic. it becomes obvious
to even the dullest7 viewer that
the script was written that way.
Edgar Bergen, who is planning
to do a film TV series for next
fall, says he will leave some Of the
ad Ibis. miscues, and fluffs in the
films to give them spontaneity
"and make them seem like live
shows"
For Bergen this may work out,
because he is known to be fairly
quick with an ad lib. But Won
der what will happen when he
hits an off-day. 1t will be a temp
tation to plant a few ad Ibis here
and there for the sake Of what
he calls "Spontaneity."
Planned spontaneity on film
isn't likely to fool the viewers any
more readily than an engineered
blooper on a live TV show. Cry

and finally it won't believe any,

1t takes SO pianos to keep the
studios of one big network going.
That means a total outlay of
from $150,000 to 100000, with
prices running from $1,000 to
more than $4,000 eacil.
Count the pianos in the NBC
New York studios and you come
up with 33 standard studio parlor
grands, 81 baby grands, two con-
cert grands and three painted
grey for television. That's the
best color for the cameras, ex-
perience has shown. Each piano
is mounted on fiat rubber-tired
truck so it can be moved easily.
To keep these instruments in
top-notch condition four experts
are used. Each week every riano

is voiced" or regulated.

says Mr.. Josey as he proudly
points to the network of terraces
that ring the hills of his farm.
Alfred L. Hay, a Tuskegee
graduate, who has been with Sos
since 1941, worked very closely
with Mr.. Josey, laying off the ter
races and contour burrows, and
helping him to follow recommended
tons in line with the soil c%apabili-
ty map Of his farm which Sos
helped him make.
Mr.. and Mrs. Josey have been
farming since 1915. They share

to pay down on 40 acres. "After
making the down-payment, we had
only 500, about 35 bushels of

However, they were able to pay
out within a couple of years and

NEW YORK, Jan. 16 There
goes n guy I sure wouldn't
mind having on our side"
That was Leo Durocher talking.
The time was last October when
his Giants where battling the
battling the Yankees in the World
Series. The place was the Yankee
Stadium dressing room and Brook
Ign catcher Roy Campanella had
just concluded a short visit.
Leo often has been known to
speak through his fedora, but in
this case, there wasn't anyone
within earshot who doubted the
little manager.
You can't question a guy for
wanting to have baseball's best
catcher, possibly the best sinceBill
Dickey. Another thing that prompt
ed Leo's remark is the fact that
Campy is a winner all the way
the battling, hustling type that
never quits. In addition to all his
other attributes, Campanella has
that extra something the miracle
Giants showed the unbeatable
spirit.
This all is by way of a preface
to what has been said of late on
Roy's signing his 1862 contract
with theDodgers and his unwilling
ness to undergo an elbow opera
ton.
The National Leagues most val
liable player was accused of try
ing to "blackmail" the Dodgers in
to giving him more money. This
we couldn't believe, not of Camp
amelia.
And we were glad to hear his
version, one that sounded sincere
, 1952-01-16

from a guy you'd expect to be
just so.
81 earn my money on the field"
Campanella said. II wouldn't re-
sort to any other method to get
money from the Dodgers. They've
always been fair to me-"
Campanella will get at least
$4,000 for his services next sea-
son. It may be argued that other
fellows on other clubs, not as
valuable as the stocky catcher,
will get more and subsequently he
is worth more to the Dodgers.
But Roy, the Missus and the
five little Campanellas won't go
hungry with rs grand and he says
he's satisfied. That should end it.
In any case, you a bet a hand
full of marbles that Campanella
will be back at his same old stand
next season, playing only as he
knows to win.
AS forthat operation, Campan-
ella insists the bone chips don't
bother him. His left or mitt arm
is theone in question. He says if
the chips were on his throwing ell
bow he wouldn't hesitate to under
go surgery. .
Campanella feels he doesn't need
an operation. If the chips do start
to bother him and he is forced to
go under the knife, there un-
doubleday will be those who will
say he should have listened to
Boss O'Malley in the first place.
O'Malley knows Campanella
wouldn't want to do anything to
hurt the teams chances. He should
stand by the catcher's honest wish
right now.

How old is the car you're driving nowadays? A year? Two years?
Five? Is it a pre-war model?
Have you thought about it lately? Essential transportation for
Americans depends on the good condition of the nations automobiles
Civilian defense people are keenly aware of the truth of that state
ment.
An emergency that demanded widespread use of automobiles could
mean serious trouble if these cars were to fail.
Furthermore, since II per cent of all American families depend on
their cars for essential transportation, and of this number So per cent
for the purpose of making a living, it could be serious even without an
outside emergency.

Your new car dealer, the man who sold you your car, recently joined
fellow dealers in the National Automobile Dealers Association to con-
duct a nationwide survey-and found some interesting things.
This survey showed that the great majority of car-owning families
turn to their new car dealers for maintenance serVice-feeling that
factory trained mechanics know their makes of cars best. The study
also showed that car owners approve of the repair and maintenance
work done by these specialists.
But these dealers really wanted criticism that would guide them in
improving their services. They asked for it-and got it.
Working with their association, they're low busy acting on con-
struchve suggestions to be sure they're ready and able to maintain
those aging but essential cars.
The automobile is essential today, one civic-minded dealer said,
and w want to be sure that adequate production will replace aging
cars-that car owners know our service departments m well equipped
to maintain these essential cars-and that we use nothing but the
finest replacement parts"
These dealers, thinking of national and community welfare, as we'll
as CONSCIENTIOUS improvement of their own establishments, want to
be sure they are not found inadequate in any emergency.

Fishing Permits
Now Available
Liberalized Fishing
Policy Now In Effect

Ohio sport fishing enters a
new r March /, when the new
liberalized fishing policy goes
into effect.
Buckeye fisherman, who will
be required to have the new 1852
fishing license on that date, may
take any number of fish, of any
size and at any time of the year
during the coming season..
Ohio is the first state to COM
pletely liberalize regulations on
waters under the jurisdiction of
the state, and with a few ex-
ceptions all waters will be open.
Fishermen are reminded to check
the 1852 Fishing Digest, which
can be obtained from license
agents on request or when pur-
chasing the new fishing license,
for the exceptions and the few
regulations which must be OBJ
served. Permits may be obtained
from Village Clerk Violet Nor
gareldge or clerk or courts
Walton Starr.
The 1852 license will cost 50
plus a Is cents writing fee for
Ohio residents. Nonresident
license will cost So plus the fee,
and the temporary, ten-day non
resident permits will be 81 plus
the fee.
AS in the past year a fisher
man will not be required to dis
play his license, but must have
il on his person while fishing.
Buckeye fishermen are re-
minded that although all streams
are 1iberaliZed permission of the
riparian landowner is required
for protection against violations

Tile Drain Life
Varies From 3 TO
O Years In Ohio

Some tile drains in Ohio last
more than 100 years but poor
outlets, poor grade, insufficient
depth and poor quality tile limit
other lines to less than 5 years
service.
Virgil Overholt, extension ag-
ricultural engineer at Ohio State
University, points out that tile
have to be strong enough to sup
port heavy equipment such as
tractors and lime trucks. Tile
that will absorb a lot of water
probably have low crushing
strength. If they absorb more
water, they also have less resist
ance to freezing and thaWing
damage.
Good tile will stand at least
SO alternate freezings and thaw-
ings with a temperature range
from zero to TO-" Overholt says.
A simple way to test this is to
leave a tile out on wet ground
in the fall. If it fails because of
exposure to nature, it should not
be used.
You car test for water alb
sorption by this process: Dry
tile in oven. Weigh it. Immerse
it in water and boil for 3 or 4
hours. Weigh it again. If the
tile has absorbed more than II
percent of its dry weight, it is
not safe.
Overholt says good quality
clay tile will be dark red, have
a clear ring when tapped and
will be regular and even in
shape.
A broken section of concrete
tile will give some indication of
quality. It should look dense and
impervious. Aggregate should
range from fine to course. When
a good concrete tile is broken,
it will break through sand par
ticles and pebbles of gravel in
stead of around them.
If the tile absorbs water
readily or lets water drip
through it, it should not be
used.
Overholt says concrete is not
resistant to acid or alkaline soils
and should not be used in peat,
muck or mineral soils or where
the PHI is lower than 6.
