Man, This Is Real

NEW YORK.-The new Will
liam Saroyan comedy. "Once
Around the Block" opened Sun
day night at the Cherry Lane
Theater in the Village. There's
q story line in which an exper-
fenced romantic advises his
younger brother to run around
the block before a beautiful gal
drops in to see him. Older
brother says women are fasci-
mated by relaxed, disinterested
types and exhaustion will be a
suitable substitute. In the play
actor Ed Crowley plays the run
ner and Larry Hagman the cop
that chases him. Before the pre-
miere, director Bob Kamlot de-
cided that their putting, painting
and ersatz exhaustion was too
phoney. So every night, now the
two actors actually run around
the block, chasing down COM
merce to Hudson. to Leroy and
back up Seventh avenue, to the
stage door.
They do it in four minutes and
10 seconds and are really pushed
when they make the stage. The
real cop on the beat has beer
alerted and doesn't join in the
chase. Who says there's no real
ism in the theater?

The $4,000 Question Man

WTHEN the producers of The $4,000
w Question" started looking for a master
of ceremonies before their show went on the
air last June. they screened more than 300
candidates. Many of these were top emcees
or announcers in broadcasting, several had
shows of their own, and few were featured
performers in movies or on Broadway. The
man they picked was, of course, Hal March,
who was best known previously as half OF
a comedy team on radio and Imogene Coca's
husband in her TV series. It may be that the
programs formal was such a natural that
anybody would have done we'll in the emcee
spot but Hal has unquestionably done fine
job of handling the contestants, keeping up
the shows pace and suspense, and even shines
on the commercials.
One clue to his diplomatic approach in
handling people comes from Halls explanation
of his bachelor status. Says Hal, who's IS;
MY life was never sufficiently stabilized to
make me good husband, although I've met
plenty of girls who would make wonderful
wives"
Hal has a mother, three sisters and
brother back in San Francisco, where he grew
up, and as far as he knows he's the first OF
his family to enter show business Soon as
he got out of high school he joined night
club act which toured west coast spots. After
a stint in the Coast Artillery, he plunged back
into show business and has appeared with
such leading performers as Perry Como, Jack
Benny Bob Hope and Burns and Allen.
Nowadays, his life stabilized at least tempo

Report OF Student On
VFW Citizenship Com
ference For 1856


The following is a well written
account by James Dees. Milford
High School student. on his ex-
periences while attending the 18th
National Conference on Citizenship
Washington. d. c., Septemer 1911
1878
] would like, first of all. to thank
the Veterans of Foreign Wars and
Mr.. Hagg, for the opportunity OF
making this trip. II has certainly
been the greatest experience of my
life.
There were so many things that
I'M never forget-the friendship OF
i Captain Short, the excitement OF
the Conference, the beautiful city
itself with all its splendid build
ings and monuments-and yet, the
thing which impressed me most
was the experience of seeing De-
mocracy in action. Here at the
conference were people united ard
dedicated to the cause of Liberty.
1t was about 1900 p. m. when /
left Milford on Sunday, September
10th, of this year | arrived at the
Polish-American Post Home in
Wilmington at 200 p. m. where
met Jackie Wieekowski of New
ark. who was TO be my roommate,
and Captain Bill Short of the Della
ware State Police, who was our
chaperone.
After being seen off by Gov.
Boggs. we drove % Washington,
d. c., where we arrived at 600
p. m. We registered at the Statler
Hotel where the Convention was
to be held.
1t was the 18th National Conven-
tion on Citizenship, and its theme
this year was. "The Voting Citizen. !"
Sunday night. after eating in a
restaurant. we went to the Ma
tional Archives Building. We re-
turned to the hotel at about 1920
p. m.
The Conference. started Monday
morning with coffee hour from $3.50
to 9:30 in the Congressional room
We had coffee and doughnuts there
and then went into the Presiden-
tial Ballroom. where there was mu-
sic by the Air Force Headquarters
Band until 1000 a. m.
This was followed by the formal
opening of the Conferepce. What
IN impressive ceremanv that was.
The Honorable Carl 3. HYATT Eve
cutive Director IF the Conference
presided. Rabbi Norman Cierstenfeld
read 8. beautiful prayer of invoca-
tion, and then thnre was the ad-
vancement of the State and Terri
tor'al flags.
What Dolawarean would not feel
thrill of nride 10 see our State
Flag, carried bv an Honor Guard
and accompanied by roll of
drums, advanced first to the plat
form? The flags of the other States
and Territories followed in the
order of their admittance to the
union.
After this, there was the National
Anthem, the pledge of allegiance to
the flag. and greetings by the Hon
orable Tom C. Clark, Associate JUS
tice of the Supreme Court of the
United States.
Then the representatives of the
Thirteen Original States were in
troduced. DR.. Miller of the State
Department of Public Instruction
represented Governor Boggs.
After this was the keynote ad-
dress entitled, "The Voting Citi-
zen". by the Honorable Thomas
Darcy Brophy. past president of
the American Heritage Foundation.

GET A HORSE.

WACO. Texas - up - A steady
increase in student-owned automo-
biles is giving Baylor University
here some headaches.
This year, there are only 1922
parking spaces on the campus and
1000 cars are registered for cam
pus parking.
Dean of Men w. C. Perry said
each new parking space costs the
university $500 Four new parking
areas have been added since last
year and three are being construct
ed.
This still doesn't. keep up with
demand.
Milford chronicle., 1956-11-09

Mr.. Brophy stressed the idea that
it is our duty, as well as our privi-
lege, TO vote. He also revealed some
startling statistics, such as the
fact that 1870 of all eligible voters
failed TO vote in the Congressional
elections in 1854
He also pointed out that the
voting average of the other free
nations of the world greatly ex-
.ceeds ours.
| really enjoyed Mr.. Brophy's
speech because it helped to get the
conference going by clearly defin-
ing the problems of getting people
to vote
The second general sessions was
a luncheon from 1890 until 2::30
with DR.. John r. Miles presiding.
The big feature Of the luncheon
was the group discussion in which
each table of representatives sep
arately talked over the reasons
why people don't vote. A represen-
tatiye from each table then gave the
reasons decided upon by his group.
Most of them centered around such
things as Indifference, distrust, ig-
norance. and legal barriers to vot-
ing.
At $3.50 that afternoon there was
a Citizenship Day ceremony at the
Washington Monument grounds.
After that we went to the top of
the monument. Everywhere we
looked, we saw famous buildings
and monuments-the White House.
the Capitol Building, the Lincoln
and Jefferson Memorials and many
more. Jackie and / walked down all
898 steps. We didn't do much more
walking that day.
At the third general session that
night, there was a concert called.
Musical Americana" by the United
States Army Band. | can honestly
say that it was the best musical
program have ever heard. The
music seemed to capture America
in a wy. that words cannot ex-
press. | shall never forget the
beautiful reading of the prize winn-
ing Il speak for Democracy" essay
accompanied by the band with the
chorus singing in the background.
The concert was followed by a
program in which Mr.. George Allen
ambassador to Greece, answered
the questions of a panel of college
and high school students. These
questions were primarily con
cerned with the Suez Canal situ-.
alton.
Our second day of the conference
began with a discussion group ses-
sion from $50 until 1880. Our
discussion leader was Mrs. Wyman
H. Chadwick, former National
President of the Ladies Auxiliary
of the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
We discussed why people don't vote
and what we could do about it.
After we had lunch we decided to
see the sights so we took a cab to
the Lincoln Memorial. After seeing
that we got cab and asked to go
to the Jefferson Memorial. The
driver. however, insisted that the
place TO go was the Arlington Gem
etery, where he would take us for
the amazingly low fee of $500.
We finally convinced him that we
didn't have time so he begrudginglv
took us to the Jefferson Memorial.
We got back to the hotel Just
in time for the next discussion
erouD session which lasted from
2: 90 until 400.
That night was the annual din
ner during which we we're enter

The Duke flash was hard
pushed in the century by Vir-
ginia'S John Russell, who's done
the distance in 81, but pulled in
front in the last rs yards to viii
by two strides. Thirty minutes
later he came back to cop the 900
by five yardSs with Russell again

Shines time in the 100 was a
tenth of second number under
the ACC outdoor record of 9.6
set by North Cardinals jeff
Newton in 1854. but a tenth of
a second slower than his own
best previous time. Sine had tied
the ACC mark earlier in the sea-
son against Wake Forest.
His 220 clipped a tenth of a

TEE TO GREEN
By MERRELL WHITTLEsEY

June at .Johnstown, Pa, has
learned the USGA watches this
event for its Walker Cup selec-
lions, a fact substantiated by the
presence of four Walker Cup
team members and the last two
National Amateur flnalists al
ready among the entries.
A poll of the touring pros at
the Greensboro Open showed
they generally favor the new
rule which enables them to putt
into the flagstick without PEN
atty. There is no penalty for
striking an unattended flagstick,
regardless of the distance, in
both match and stroke play this
year. Cliff Spencer, known
as the smoothest swinger in this
section when he was the Dis
trict areas top playing pro, now
has a new swing. The teaching
pro at Woodmont liked the old
one, but his 30 additional pounds
forced a change.
