Jack Hurdle knows all the

man for Ted Healey, a producer
for Jackie Gleason. Robert @

from them he has absorbed
from his friends in New York
who have been for years COM
msnting cauStically. comically
and continually over Jacks
unwavering devotion to the
Senators.
Jacks attachment to the
Senators started about 1924,
when he met Walter johnson
and Joe Judge at church and
Boys Club affairs while play
ing sandlot baseball in WASH
ington. He was a Tech High
tackle under Hap Hardell and
a first baseman in the Indus
trial League while a runner at
Riggs Bank.
Those were glory days for
the Senators. There have been
few great moments since, but
it never would be known in
Hurdles presence. The hulk
ing, laughing associate of stage
greats thinks only positively of
his beloved Little Leaguers, "
an affectionate term he applied
to them.
Hurdle is the Senators
champion in New York, where
Washington has been known to
suffer. After the losses. Jack
will walk into a tavern. and
invariably the greeting will be
"Hey, what happened to the
Little Leaguers?" There have
been times, though, when
Hurdle has enjoyed the misery
inflicted on the Yankees by the
Senators.
These are rare moments, to
be savored lingeringly and low
ingly. Jack makes the most OF
them. It's akin to panhandler
hitting 1t rich for a day. He
knows the treat is temporary
but there is no fretting about
the future. He takes the Sen
ators. with all their faults OF
recent years, and accepts them
adoringly.
Yankee Stadium customers
through the years have been
noted for their fairness. They
appreciate a good play and ap-
plaud it. They recognize class

PATIENTS COMPLAINT: MY
driving has gone to pot"
DIAGNOSIS: Stance Just a
little too wide.
TREATMENT: Any time your
drives, or other wood shots,
suddenly go sour. it's a good
idea to double check your
stance. Very frequently when a
golfer is driving well, he gets
the Idea thaat he can get even
more distance If he widens his
stance a little more. Then, the
first thing he knows, he has
widened his stance so much
that he sort of anchors himself
to the ground and makes it
impossible to turn properly.
Another fault caused by a
too-wide stance is failure to
shift the weight back to the
right side on the backswing,
and back over to the left side
on the downswing. With the
stance too wide, the weight
tends to remain pretty much
evenly distributing throughout
the swing.
In today's illustration, the
stance is just a little too wide.
To get proper stance width,
study the drawing with the
view that the feet should be
brought in about two inches
closer together. or at about
shoulder width.
For additional pointers for
getting the correct stance down
pat, get a copy of my special
booklet, Chart Guide for Cor
rect Stance" 1t details a quick
and simple method for assum-
ing the correct stance on every
type of shot. Write me, CO The

change in population, due to large displace-
ment Of our people through coal stripping

ruption of local populace through fish and

we have never believed that one centralized

by roads and our geography and local con-

his pupils with a love of knowledge and the

outstanding teacher. Mr.. Wargo will draw
salary of $1,000 and is we'll worth the price

More Working Women

The 200 percent of working women To-
cally compares with the United States av-
erage of 35.2 percent and the 34.2 percent in
the state of Ohio.
An outstanding development throughout
the nation, revealed by the survey, is the
new attitude of married women toward
work ontside the home Nearly one out of
three wives over age 35 is in the work force
now as against only one in eight in 1910.
An explanation is given by DR.. Henry
David, director of the National Manpower
council. He says that women are marrying
earlier having children earlier and are COM
pleting their families at an earlier age.
Half the women in the United States, he
points out, have their last child when they
are 26. They are 80 when the child is ready
for school and they are free, after that time
to take outside jobs.
In Noble county, women constitute a
larger proportion of people in jobs than ever
before. Since 1885, when the census tabula-
ton revealed that 1862 percent of all local
jobs were held by women, there have been
increases noted in all parts of the country,
the average rise being 48 percent.
The journal. (Caldwell, Ohio) 1934-1961, 1960-06-23

In er-growing numbers, women in No
BILE county are becoming wage earners.
More and more of them, married women
especially, are finding enough time away
from their home responsibilities to permit
them to take jobs in offices, stores and fac
tories
With some of them, either the desire for
better living or the need to work is the COM
pelling force With others, it is flight from
boredom or from inactivity that is involved.
The same trend, in varying degrees, has
been observed in most other parts of the
country. A recent report by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics reveals total of 22,736,0O0
women in the labor force last year as against
17,795,000 counted nine years previously.
Adapting to Noble county the results of
the recent national and sectional survey con-
Quoted by the Commerce and Labor Depart
ments, it appears that 20.9 percent of all wo-
men locally, over the age Of IA, are in the
labor force.
This represents an increase over the 14.9
percent of them so-lsted in 1885, when the
prior census was taken. At that time 648
women were employed or seeking employ
ment.

ing men into unions is neces-
sary to protect the unions, that
without this compulsion the
unions cannot function for the
benefit GU of their members.
This is just so much hogWash
and not enough people are fool
ed by these false claims.
And so the labor bosses deem
it eXpedient to resort to the
scare-technique. Unfortunate
ly, this has worked for them
in some cases. AS Eggleston
has pointed out, pamphlet en-
titled Main Street Kansas"
was widely distributed by the
NO Right Work" froces and
this carried the alarming slo-
gan, when R G h ito Work
comes to town, wages go
down.
AS a further facet of the
scare-technique, the labor Dos-
ses claimed that if Right-to-
Work became law, it would be
"curtains' for further indus
trial development in Kansas.
But the stout-hearted citi-
zens of Kansas refused to scare,
and by an overwhelming vote
pl a ced the Right-to-Work
Amendment into the Kansas
constitution. This overWhelm-
ing vote against compulsory
unionism could not have been
rolled up without many union
members joining in that vote.
Well, year has passed since
this Magma Charta of Labor
became law in the Sunflower
State. Let's see what kind

Dor bosses have turned out to
be. They couldn't have been
"Wronger."
Predicted the labor bosses:
"When Right to- Work comes to
town, wages go down" Here's
what has really happened.
The unions own campaign lit
erature quoted statistics is
sued by the US. Department of
Labor which showed that in
1858, the average weekly pay
check in Kansas was $85.74.
The Wichita Labor Market
Review showed that average
wages of Wichita (Kansas) pro-
duction workers in mid-Decem-
ber of 1859 had risen to $99.29.
Statewide figures on week
ly wages for production work
ers showed a $40 weekly in
crease over the 1858 figure.
The labor bosses should SER
iously entertain amending their
slogan to make it read:
"When Right-tO-WOrk comes to
town, Wages go up instead of
down."
AS to that other prognosti-
cation of the labor tycoons
that if Right-to-Work became
law in Kansas, industrial de-
velopment in Kansas would
come to a halt, let's take an
other look and find out what
has actually happened. Again
the labor bosses couldn't have
been farther off the beam.
