Dear Sirs:
l note in reading the Caldwell
I'Journal Of some time ago that
President Eisenhower has APP
pointed Robert T. Secrest to
serve as a member of the Federal
Trade Commission and that sure
is good luck for Bob Secrest, and
it will not be the last step up the
ladder of success that Bob will
make. | have for quite some time
predicted that there were much
better things in store for Bob
Secrest, and now it appears that
the start has just began and
where Bob goes from now on
is anyone's guess. My guess is
that it won't be backward. 1t
certainly is true that the 18th
District Of Ohio has lost the ser
vices OF the best Congressman
ever to serve in that capacity
For the 9Th consecutive time,
Bob has served his district well
and faithfully. During which
time he has won the respect and
admiration Of a lot of people in
his district as well as elsewhere.
And believe me when | say that
the name of Robert T. SecreSt
viii not soon be forgotten by his
many friends and admirers, and
when Bob Secrest takes up his
new duties, | feel certain that
he will have the very best wishes
of all the people that truly liked
him and gave him their support
for SO long a time
And had not Bob been appoint
ed to the Federal Trade Com
mission, Bob still would be the
choice Of the voters to succeed
himself for the 9Th time to rep
resent the 18th District Of Ohio.
And at this time it is my pleasure
to extend to Robert r. Secrest
my most hearty congratulations
and a lot Of good wishes for his
future and believe me there is
a lot of room to go up that lad
der OF success for Bob Secrest.
l have noted in the Journal of
Aug. 18th that a Mr. Max Lewis
Underwood has been selected to
replace Bob Secrest in the 18th
District Of Ohio, and from what
has been said about Mr.. Under
wood in the Journal. 1t is my
opinion that there has been
select one that seems to have
all the qualification to take up
where Bob left off.
And I believe the people of the
18th District will do we'll and
be served we'll if they will send
Mr.. Max Lewis Underwood to
Washington d. g. as their Con-
gresham when they cast their
votes in the coming November
election.
| also note that Mr. Secrest is
going to retain his residence at
Greenwood which is near Sen
ecaville, Ohio. That is sure a
fine thing for Bob to do. 1t goes
to prove that Bob's work will
be mostly in Washington, D. c.
but his heart is still in Ohio.
And at Greenwood Bob can look
back on the carefree days of
his childhood and see the old
homestead where he began his
climb up the ladder round by
round and now looking back at
the past, one must come to the
conclusion that Bob has done
very we'll
1t is this writer that has
always been a staunch supporter
of Bob Secrest, and it has always
given me pleasure to do so.

Bob Van Heyde was timed in
1851, two seconds better than
the world record set last year
by a Yale University quartet.
Cleveland, a 6-foot-2 Ha-
waiian, also bettered the Amer
lean record in the 50-yard free
style, and Al Virgins, an Ohio
State freshman from Pittsburgh,
set a new national AAU record
of 1:34.7 in the Junior 150-yard

OF his owners, Mr.. and Mrs. Len
Carey of Greenwich, Conn,

A better indication of the top
candidates will come when five
major speciality shows wind up
tomorrow. They include the
American Boxer Club. the AZ
CHAN Hound Club of America,
the Associated Terrier Clubs, the
Boston Terrier Club of New York
and the Bulldog Club of Amer
lea.
However. three of last years
variety winners will be back for
another try at the title, and un-
less they get beaten in their
breed, they'll have to rule the
favorites to win their groups.
They include Champion Fancy
Bembardier, bloodhound owned
by Tom and Pearl Sheehan, the
No. l hound; Champion Pug
ville's Mighty Jim. a pug be-
longing to the Pugville Kennels
OF Croton-On- Hudson, N. Y, the
best toy and Champion Blakeen
Bali Hal, a standard poodle
owned by the Puttencove KEN
nels of Manchester, Mass.
Carey said after last years
show that he was afraid Bonn
bardier might beat Storm out
for the beSt-in- show honors. It
is a rare day when a blood
hound is tops among the hounds.
Therefore, Bombardier goes to
the head of the class as the pre-
show choice.
Standard poodles are popular
these days. so Bali Hal rates
No. 2 of the favorites. But poor
little Mighty Jim doesn't stand
much of a chance. Toys just
don't win in the Westminster.
In addition to these three.
nine other dogs who finished in
the first four in the six groups
will be back.
