Las Vegas, Nevada World
middleweight campion Dick Tiger
retained his championship by bat
Ting his challenger Gene Fullmer
10 a 15-round draw last Saturday
night before a record Las Vegas
Convention Center crowd Of 7,777
and a paid gate Of $4,000.
While this corner had predicted
that champion Tiger would be an
easy winner (who didn't?) that
fight was close all the way.
The three judges all were one
point apart in their score sheet
and it is our opinion that draw
was a just decision.
OF course you folks heard the
crowd and their mixed reception
but again - we feel it was a close
bout and the decision was right.
The draw result means that Gene
Fullmer will be around a little
while longer. He had announced
some time ago that he'd retire
should he be defeated by Tiger.
The show was highly successful.
Everyone, the local and the Madi-
son Square Garden promoters
seemed happy.
It looks very much like Las
Vegas is and viii continue to be-
como the boxing center Of Amer
lea II not the world.
Both fighters have loads Of
friends here and both have ex-
pressed their willingness to return.
Tigers next defense is expected
to be in England against Hung
ary's middleweight champion Lazio
Papp in May or June.
Archie and Mrs. Givens wrote US
all the way from Honolulu, that
he's much recovered and plans to
visit me next month. lin Las Vegas
Of course).
AS you know this is the boom
city Of America and even In
this mid-winter season thousands
focked into this town. It was
much easier to loan money than
get a room in this town.

girls, is spread over and the front

It's a good favorable and honest
reporting - by Gereon thinner

Ny good friend Mel Jass, spent a
day in Vegas. Mel keeps going
back n forth to Hollywood and
Minneapolis every week for his
WTCN-TV shows and now really
has something to say about this
town.
Mel, was our guest to the fights
and afterwords joined Slapsie

some lunch.

He moves fast, talks fast and
thinks fast; it's difficult for any of us to
keep up with him." says his secretary,
Mrs. Beatrice Johnson.
He wants to dial two or three tele-
phone numbers at the same time, then
ne wants to talk on both lines at once.
If he needs to talk to someone in the
building, he's just as likely to skip the
telephone and run around State until
he finds them. Sometimes he catches
them in elevators" Continued

Three Questions
Mrs. J. P. X, Arlington

Mrs. J. P. X, Arlington
I have three problems.
Since your column is so help
full I thought I would ask
help through it.
One: ! have lost two I'M
usual earrings, breaking up
both sets. They dropped from
my right ear. I have heard
that there is an earring ex-
change that matches up
mismates. Can any of you
help me with this?
Two: When we were here
about ten years ago we took
the children to a farm that
sold apples by the bushel,
apple butter and related
products. They let the chill
dren wonder around the
farm to see the animals. We
always enjoyed it. It seems
to have gone with the prog
ress around Maryland. We
wondered If anyone knows Of
such a place around Win
chester. Va.
Three: I have been look
ing for a recipe for a Swedish
cake called crunch cake. 1t
is baked in a mold and has
an orange-crunchy crust.
We purchased it at a bakery
in Chicago and thought it
was delicious.
Thanks so much for your
help.

ing the set themselves. Can 60 out and buy book
for 50 cents and do your job? Well many people
think they can do mine Have you ever looked in
side TV set? 1t is complicated maze of wires
tubes and rods 1t takes training and experience to
learn what they all mean, what they do and what it
takes to repair them.
But look what happens: An amateur who thinks
he is going to beat what he considers the high cost of
repair, ends up compromising the trouble and when
we finally are called in his bill is much higher than
it would have been had he called us at the first sign
of trouble.
There is such thing as preventative main
tenance" for TV sets. The same people who take
their cars to the garage for check-ups and grease
andOil jobs and who put antfreeze in their cooling
systems before the first frost will not call TV re-
parman when their picture starts getting fuzzy or
when Matt Dillon comes on the screen looking like
Jackie Gleason.
When they do call, they want the set fixed i'm
mediately, regardless of what time it is Sometimes
the calls are laughable had one call recently at

In many cases set-owners bring on their own

wiring as pint bottles (some empty most of them u
not, stuffed animals and even money. Once found

she had forgotten she had hidden it there After pay

Mice and reaches also play havoc with TV sets.
1t is not uncommon to find speaker completely
eaten away by mice, and reaches are always short

I've gotten great number of calls for broken
picture tubes caused, not by the wear and tear on
the SET but by the and tear the nerves ofthe
viewers is not uncommon at all to find that tube
has been caved in by toy pistol flung at the screen
by small boy, who only trying to help the cow

than one picture tube gets conked by a beer bottle
