his private life. While vacation
ing on the Riviera, he was so
upset by their personal questions
that he announced he would see
no more reporters.
A few days after, he received
a letter from a lady reporter who
was obviously desperate. She
threatened to drown herself If he
did not grant her an interview.
Alarmed by this urgent appeal.
he consented to see her.
When the lady called at his
house, he led her out to the patio
overlooking the Mediterranean.
She lit a cigarette, took out her
pad and asked.
What happened between you
and your first wife?"
Maeterlinck turned livid
with anger. Uncermoniousiy he
grabbed her arm and led her
to the stairway leading to the
beach.

A WORD
TO THE WISE

Many a. time has this column
pleaded, cajoled. argued, and
scolded in attempting to stamp
out the slovenly pronunciation
"WORSH-in-dun" for the ven-
Grated name Washington. I can
report q little headway during
the last ten or IL years. My radio
and TV check reveals that the
correct pronunciation WALSH
ing-tun Is gaining ground
throughout the nation, except in
one particular place--the city
Of Washington itself!
A few Of the members Of Con-
gress, government officials. and
radio commentators who broad
cast from the capital city have
finally taught themselves to say
WAHSH-ing-tun, and 1t has a
fine American ring that delights
the ear and gladdens the heart.
But they are In woeful minority.

MIDDLEFIELD - DIR. Glenn
Cunningham, famous track star,
is scheduled for another ad :
dress at Middlefield high
school on April Ia, at 8 am.
using as his subject, "Clean
Living and the Race of Life"
Glenn Cunningham is known
to millions of Americans, as
the greatest American miller of
our times. He did most of his
running during the l930's and
reached his greatest track per-
formance when he ran world
record breaking mile in four
minutes "A seconds. He h a
held world records for the in
door and outdoor miles until
very recently.
This is Glenn Cunningham
who, as a lad, became serious
ly burned on his legs and was
told he would never be able to
use them again. The toes of his
left foot were completely gone
after this accident which prac-
tically destroyed him.
Only through his courage, iron
determination and faith, did he
overcome his handicap and be-
came one of the outstanding at
hleteS that he is.

tunate in having DR.. Cunning

dangered the clock. The belfry
was marred and the glass of the
dials damaged. Word m

when its broadcast voice told
Englishmen on far war, fronts
that London still stood.
The clock is enormous. Each
of it's four faces is more than

two feet long and the minute
spaces a foot square. The cop
per minute hands are IA feet
long and each travels more
than 1870 miles a year. In prin-

functions like a grandfather

weights that reach almost to the
