After winning three straight
golf tournaments, coming within
a few strokes of topping all the
sectional qualifiers for the Ma
tional Open championship and
shooting IA consecutive rounds
in 10 or better, Sam Snead says
he's going home to rest.
But you can bet he'll be back
in Detroit next week with fire
in his eyes, determined to win
his first Open title after nearly
rs years of Illustration.
Snead played in his first
Open in 1887 and almost won
it. He scored 283 at Oakland
Hills, near Detroit, only to have
Ralph Guldahl come in two
strokes ahead of him. Since
then the title has eluded Sam
time after time. In 1899 he
appeared to have it wrapped up
when he took his famous 8 on
the 72d hole at Spring Hill and
two strokes behind
Byron Nelson. Craig Wood and
Denny Shute. Nelson won in a
double playoff.
Lost to WOrsham
In 1947 Snead and Lew Wor-
sham tied but Snead lost the
playoff by a stroke. In 1949 he
tied for second a stroke behind
Cary Middlecoff.
This year Snead will be back
at Oakland Hills for the Open,

ously is determined to make an

Boros chose to qualify here
because he closed his Mid
Pines Club at Southern Pines,
N. c., last week. and is en- route
to his Connecticut home. Julius,
who finished third last year, is
an automatic qualifier.
Ernie was three under par
for the day playing the 18th,
or 35th hole. He duck-hooked
"a drive into the lake and took
"a double bogey six.
Henry Williams, his playing
partner and the 1850 PGA run
nerup, told Ernie that might
cost him the medal. At the
time, Boros did not realize
there was $500 prize for the
low sectional Qualifier.
LOhren First Alternate
Worsham, playing dead-seri-
GUS golf all day, and Weitzel
won $3.50 each.
But Weitzel said he was not
anxious to go to the Open, and
would play only if his members
insisted. If he withdraws, the
District will have a third
amateur in Carl Lohren of
Brooke Manor, who won first
alternate with a birdie on the
second hole of a playoff after
rounds of 72-73-145.

Chain Smoker Worries Mr.. X

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: Will
you please advise what chain
smoking (cigarette) will do
to a woman in her 30s? The
only time she hasn't a Gig
arctic in her mouth is when
she is eating or sleeping.
Sincerely, Mr.. x.
1 DON'T KNOW exactly
what chain smoking will do
to your wife, but it certainly
won't do her any good. As
suming that she is we'll, it
may do no more than give
her a morning cigarette
cough or nicotine stained
fingers.
II, however, she has sinus
trouble or bronchitis, ulcer
or asthma, you don't have to
be a doctor to realize that
she isn't doing herself any
good. Of course, the threat of
cancer remains in the back
bround.
AS a moderate smoker my
self, have made myself this
promise. If ever it gets to the
point when tobacco bosses
me, I'll throw the weeds into
a waste basket and never
take another puff.
In my experience, Mr.. X,
chain smokers are tense peo-

BENDS ARE severe muscle

you are likely to be stricken
by lie bends.
If you are thinking of TAX

ways. They're in great de-

Moreover, often they will
examine a piece of apoplectic
machinery at the farm,
shake their head soberly, and
then announce that the all
ing tractor or baler or
threSher will have to be
taken to the shop to be
torn down."
Once they tear it down,
the minimum bill is apt to
be 500. The operation is
never inexpensive. And since
mechanics, like doctors, are
apt to differ over the cause
OF the ailment, the question
often fingers: Was this oper-
alton really necessary?

I have reluctantly con-

takes me to Plank No. 2,
which again is the soul of
simplicity. 1t doesn't involve
subsidies. soil banks, corn

AS a working farmer, I
know that the difference be-
tween profit and loss often
depends upon the cost of re-
pairing and maintaining
tractors, trucks and other
machinery. Therefore I pro-
pose that Uncle Sam under

bills.
Now I'll grant you that
city folks might kick up a
little fuss about this, asking
why in thunder they should
pay tax dollars for the farm
er's repair bills. The answer
is disarmingly easy.
Since the farmer feeds the
city dweller, it's up to city
people to help him survive.

than food?
