factorily, even in those cases
where the husband himself is a
performer and therefore more
understanding of the glamor
girls problem. In that case, the
husbands ego. often as not, is
more easily bruised because of
his wife's loftier position. He
dies a thousand deaths each time
they appear in public as the
fans clamor for her autograph.
So it is easy to understand the
inability of Joe Di Maggie and
Marilyn Monroe to work out
their marriage
In the first place, Di Maggio
himself had been spoiled by pub
lie attention when he was a
Yankee star. On his first trip
to Japan with Lefty ODoul's
team, the rabid japanese base
ball fans mobbed him. On his
recent trip to Japan, the Jap
anese mobbed Marilyn Monroe.
No matter how well organized
Joe Di Maggie may be, this To-
kyo demonstration must have
gotten under his skin.
More recently, when the two
were in New York, Di Maggie
again was overshadowed. by his
wife. To make it worse for him.
part of the overshadowing was
accomplished while she was
standing over subway grating
with her skirts blowing over her
head.

Behind the Scenes:
The buSt-up of the Marilyn
Monroe Joe Di Maggie idyll fol-
lows the general pattern that
emerges when glamor girls pledge
to love, honor and obey. For
them, trying to adjust their ca
reers and egos to the welded
status is particularly difficult
problem. Just as it is for their
husbands.
/ Marriage, to be successful,
must be a full-time job on the
part of the wife. A femme movie
star has a full-time job with her
career. She must be at the stu
dio, when picture is shooting,
no later, than 7 am. and she's
lucky to get home by 8 pm. She
has wardrobe tests, makeup tests,
rigid schedules with press inter-
views and photographers, rigid
schedules for out-of-town ap-
pearances, sessions with her
teachers and coaches, parties
that she must attend, previews,
radio and TV dates and, at re-
gular intervals, trips to Europe
for specific location scenes.
Somewhere in between, she
must perform the duties of a
wife to a husband who under
standably is nettled, irked, an
noyed, offended or downright
burned up at his minor role in
her life.

the breakup Of Di Maggio's mar

Urges Citizens To
Observe SD Day.

Mayor Joseph limbaugh pro-
claimed next Wednesday. Deem
ber Is as SD Day to coincide
with other proclamations through
out the state and nation, and he
pledged full support Of the city
government in making the project
success. He urged all citizens to
do their utmost to keep Oakland
entirely free Of accidents ON De-
cember 5.
He specifically asks all citizens
to drive and walk on this day SO
as to keep the entire 24-hour peri
Cd free Of traffic accidents. He has
designated Henry Arnold, police
chief, as director for SD day ae-
tivities in Oakland.
Governor McKeldin has officially
proclaimed the day throughout the
State and President Eisenhower
has asked all Americans to unite
in nationwide demonstration
that traffic accidents can be
avoided if all motorists and pedes-
trians do their part.
The Mayor has asked that par
ticularly next Wednesday all citi-
zens do their very best to give at
tention to these things: observe
the letter and spirit of all traffic
regulations; be courteous to every
driver and pedestrian, practice
craftsmanship; give full attention
to driving and walking; in short,
drive and walk as you would have
everyone else drive and walk. IF
we can do this on just one day"
the Mayor said, perhaps we'll
realize how important it is to do
likewise every day"

full programs of entertainment -

Kurt Wells one-act folk opera,
Down in the Valley" The pro-
gram was under the auspices of
the arts institute and festival COM
mittee.
Doris Hackley, promising young
Tallahassee soprano and Ralph
Baker, Pensacola bass who is re-
garded as one of the top thespianS
in collegiate circles, combined
their talents again, to lead the cast
in a brilliant presentation. The
two even surpassed their superb

Beloved Country, lost in the
Stars"
Baker, a drama major, portray
ed the role of "Black Weaver" an
escaped condemned convict. Miss

role of "Jennie Parsons" the
daughter of scheming father.
''Down in the Valley" is, in
essence, the love story of ''Weav-

heart of opera. They include such
recognized ballads as "Sourwood
Mountains" 1.-THE Little Black
Train" 'The Lonesome Dove"

lyrics with the ease of veteran
performers.
The production of "Down in the
Valley" was under the direction of
Mrs. Rebecca Walker Steele, and
featured, in addition to Miss Hack
ley and Baker, John Steel of Pensa-
cola, Jesse Florence of Orlando,
Curtis King of the music depart
ment faculty, and the summer

ems at the piano and Colonius

THEY PLAYED THE CAME
BY ALFONSO T. DEAN

Hello Sport Fans!-Last week
we discussed the pitchers, this
week we shall recall to your mem
cries some of the outstanding
first basemen who played for us
in our island city.
Before saying anything about
those who kicked the first sack
would like to make mention OIL
a 'Star" who could have been
classed with the pitchers we wrote
about. For some reason he was
left over for this week because to
my thinking he should be classed
little different from the other
pitchers. l am speaking about
Clarence Ely" ALICE. He should
be clasSed differently because
ely" is still the best pitcher we
have in the city today. He has
represented us well and is still
able to defend us. Aside from his
pitching Ely" is still the best
man in town to have playing on
your team for his fielding and
hitting. %
Now, about the first baSemen:
AS | have seen them-A very few
of us remember a Cuban by the
name of Florentino-he was an
excellent first baseman who can
be remembered by those who saw
him in action. But, to my judg-
ment, Maxwell Cleare was the
best we ever had. 1 have never
seen Mac put anything but two
hands on the ball unless it was alb
Solutely necessary to use one hand.
He was a very good ard hard hit
ter. Many of us remember the
time Mac drove the ball in the
school house. To me Mac was
the greatest.
Cuban Tato played during
Macs time and also was outstand-
ing because of his style of kick
ing the sack.
Oscar "Big Taxi" Mcintosh was
next to Mac. Taxi had plenty of
class, very fast, a good ground
ball catcher, also a good long ball
hitter.
Buster "Keaton" Brown is out
standing because he has been up
the country many times playing
with some of the most outstand-
ing teams among which was the
New York Black Yankees. Brown
is still active as a first baseman.
There may be differences of op-
inion, but nevertheless, l consider
him outstanding.
Next week the End basemen will
be discussed.
