By BARBARA TUFTS 1 (Pinch-hitting for Harrison Carroll) 1 HOLLYWOOD—Ts I were to fol- 1 low Soiyiy Tufts, who happens to 1 be my husband, around with a pad ; and pencil and jot down every ‘ funny thing he says and does, I’d have material enough for 10 books —if I could keep up with him. . Life with Sonny is funny. There just isn’t any other way to put it. I can’t remember one moment ! of our marriage that even ap- • proached dullness, from the time ! we first met. He had been going 1 around with my best friend, Leone ' Sousa, who was doing a show with ' him. She insisted she wanted him 1 to meet me, and finally brought ' him over. I remember that Sonny • wore a pork-pie hat, and when : you’re six feet, four and weigh over 200 pounds, you don’t wear ■ pork-pies. He looked like a caricature but I guess it was one I liked, because soon after we were married. Incidentally, Leone is still my best friend. When Sonny took me, he also had to take my macaw, “Waca.” They took to each other right away, and it was Waca that gave us away after we had been secretly married and living at the St. Moritz for six months. One day Sonny let Waca out of his cage when the door was open, and Waca made for the lobby with Sonny flying after him. “That’s our bird!” Sonny yelled, when he claimed Waca. There was a publicity man in the crowd who knew us. ‘“Our bird?’" he repeated. ‘‘Are you kids married?” We had to admit it. Nobody had ever asked us before. I found out later that Sonny’s attachment to strange pets is inherited. His father not only owned a macaw but also brought home a bear cub one day. It remained in the household until it was big enough to knock down the members of the family, at which time Mrs. Tufts said the bear had to go. At the moment Sonny’s ambition is to own a swimming pool. He's a good swimmer, but that’s not the reason. He wants to keep a baby seal in the pool, to race and play ball with him. [ Having visited and entertained

Z&LOMLS — Word has been received from Mr. and Mrs. Luzerne Uhrick and family that they arrived safely at Tucson, Ariz., last Saturday and that their present address is 1309 E. Sixth street, Tucson, Ariz. Mr. and Mrs. Fred V. Mills left for Bluffton this morning to meet their daughter and grand daughter, Mrs. B. IL Franklin and daughter Margaret Joan of Anderson, who will spend several days visiting in Decatur. True Fristoe of lowa is spending a few days visiting his mother, Mre. James Friotoe of Mercer Avenue. Miss Geraldine Smith left Saturday for 'North Webster, where she. wil Ispend the week with the Gerald Smith family. R. J. Andrews, of Fort Wayne, son of Jim Andrews of this city, is a etudent at the Reppert auction school. His father, not knowing his son had enrolled in the school, was surprised at seeing the younger Andrews take his turn on the auction block at the opening sale Saturday. George P. Van Horn, director of member attendance of the Fort Wayne chapter of the national association of cost accountants, has announced the appointment of E. G. Rose, of the Central Soya Co. of thia city, to assist in membership activities. Other local members of the NACA are Richard Allen, V. J. Bormann and A. J. Powell. O Indiana Miners Back After Month's Strike Sullivan, Ind., Aug. 7—(UP)— Approximately 250 employes of the Baker mine returned to work toI day after being idle since July 2. j The members of the "Uni'ed Mine ! Workers of America walked off 'their jobs because of a c.ontrover-' 1 sery over staggering the lunc.ii time ' of loading machine operators.

in many night clubs, Sonny is at home in the most exclusive surroundings. He also is quite unpre. dictable about his entertainment finding it in the simplest pursuits. Since we moved into our Hidden Valley home he spends Sundays hiking with a 12-year-old neighbor, then comes home to Sing hymns with Walter, our caretaker. With Sonny, singing is almost as necessary as breathing. He starts bellowing in the shower and sings all day long. Sometimes he concentrates on his songs to tha exclusion of all other conscious thoughts. That’s why he has stopped driving. One day while ha was making “Miss Susie Slagle's,” he was driving to Paramount, singing at the top of his lungs, when the car came to a sudden stop. He wouldn’t pick out someth in g insignificant to hit. Not Sonny. He had to pile that car into the biggest mountain in the neighborhood. Now when he motors, I drive. Recently, after Sonny had worked a solid year without a rest, we took a vacation in Mexico. Ona day Sonny disappeared. We finally found him waist-deep in the surf, raking in kelp. He had met a Mexican whose business was hauling in kelp for iodine, and whose helper was missing. Sonny decided to help. With some of the finest swimming, hunting and fishing facilities in North America at hil disposal, Sonny spent most of ths vacation helping. His latest hobby, I must nervously report, is shooting a gun. Sometimes he takes a shot at the coyotes who try to get our chickens—that was his excuse for getting the gun—but mostly he sits on the front porch and knocks bottles or cans off a fence. We have an understanding with our neighbors. None of them lives close, and as long as Sonny doesn't shoot in their general direction, they don’t complain. It wouldn’t help, anyway. Sonny would talk them out of it. I may be prejudiced, but I know he has away of making himself irresistible. Maybe it’s because he is just a big overgrown boy. Boy is the word. A ,

Fast Driving Causes Traffic Death Rise 62 Traffic Deaths In Indiana In July Indianapolis, Aug. 7. —(UP) - Fast driving by Hoosier motorists cairned a rise in the Indiana traffic death rate during July, Supt. Austin R. Killian of the state police department said today. There were 32 percent more traffic deaths in the state during July, 1945, than in the same month it 1944, Killian pointed out. An eight percent decrease in state-wide accident fatalities during the firet six months of the year had dropped to two percent at the end of seven months. Sixty-two deaths were recorded in July. Last year. 47 Hoosiers died in traffic accidents during July, Killian said. “Fast driving was responsible for 41) percent of the rural fatalities in July," Killian asserted. He reported that rural deaths soared as urban deaths dropped. A breakdown of the July figures showed that collisions of two or more vehicles accounted for 27 victims while 12 died when drivers lost control of their automobiles. Thirteen pedestrians were killed, fewer than in any previous month this year, he said. Eight died in auto-train crashes. Three fatal accidents occurred when vehicles ran off the road. The Indiana fatality total for the seven-month period in 1945 was 426 as compared with 437 for the same months last year. “The job of preventing vehicular tragedies cannot be accomplished unless drivers cooperate by dr.ving safely,” Killian declared. —— 0 Four Scouts Advance To Life Scout Rank Four Boy Scouts from Rotary troop 61 were advanced to the rank of Life Scout at the board of review .held Monday night.
