for making a suggestion? You're not the only. one.

When I saw in the papers that a certain John N

Burke, 619 N. Tacoma ave, mold mechanic for the local U. 8. Rubber Co., collected $943.44 for his suggestion to improve bicycle tire manufacturing, I sald to myself, “There's a guy I want to talk to.” Needless to say I Ina John J. all smiles. His bride Mary, John says, is all smiles too. They became Mr, and Mrs, last April 26.

“You probably” want to know, like everyone elsé)

what I'm going to do with the dough or what I did with it,” Mr. Burke said. You're right, Mr, Burke,

Mary_Took Over the Dough . : oils THE AWARD came after our honeéyfhoon, Mary promptly took the money and socked it in a bank. We want to buy a home someday.” The mold mechanic, a veteran of 51 ‘months of service with the coast artillery in the Asiatic-Pacific theater, admitted he didn't think much of tire-making while overseas even though he had been with U, 8. Rubber for 13 years, “When I got back to my old job arly in 1946,

Happy Endings

HOLLYWOOD, June 9.-—Happy endings in the movies, says a famous feminine psychiatrist, are ‘a hoax. I agree with the lady, whose name is Frieda Fromm-Reichmann. Says Dr. Fromm-Reichmann: “Movies and stories that end with a happy closeup of a. just-married couple give false education which too many people

* unfortunately believe.”

She went on to say that these movies give the idea that everything is going to be beer and skittles from then on for the couple. I'd like to draw a difference, though, between the movies and the printed stories. When the wife reads 8 story, she knows it is fiction—printed entertainment, and to some extent, she accepts it as fiction. But the trip to the movie theater is something else again. Here's what happens.

Rude Awakening AFTER DINNER the Mrs. talks the man of the house into going to a romantic movie, She knows it's Just a movie when she goes in. And so does he. But after 20 minutes they are lost in the drama on the screen. She 'is being made love to by the handsome hero. He fancies himself holding that luscious leading lady fn his arms. They go home without talking very much, still fost in their dream worlds. Yes, it's a rather rude awakening. For a moment

plant and in his spare moments the darkIrishman thought about his: problem. He re as Hickory with an idea. It was a step in the right direction. But it didn't quite solve the non-flow problem The wedding bells problem was sdolved. Mary would walk down the aisle with John J. All that remained now was to get some sleep for Hickory, One day at the plant John J. took a long look at the steel bicycle mold. He held a chisel and hame mer in his hands. There followed a series of clanks as steel dug into steel. John J. molded a tire with the redesigned mold. The tire was perfect. Several more came out of the mold with equal success. Hickory was called to see the handiwork. He liked what he saw. It looked very much like his sheepe counting days were over. John J.'s idea was given a trial. His suggestion was put through the regular channels in accordance with the suggestion plan of the company. With the radial vent in the mold, allowing the air +to escape and the rubber to flow evenly throughout, tires without the usual headaches were commonplace. Hickory began to sleep like a: baby. Meantime, John J. married Mary Manley, took a two-week honeymoon and then settled down to being a married man. Then last week he was notified that he had won the largest suggestion award ever presented by the suggestion committee of the plant, $043.44" “I was surprised. I felt sure I'd get some money for my idea but I didn't know it would be that much,” John J. sald.” “Boy, if the check had come earlier, I sure would have had a longer honeymoon.”

He Has Another Idea

MR. BURKE isn't going to rest on his laurels. He is working on another idea but admits it's still in the “development stage.” “I can’t say what I'm doing. is,” he said. I know, John J. “Right now I'm looking forward to a little ‘beerbust’ with' a couple of my Irish friends from the plant, Pat O'Neill and Tom Reedy. Just as soon as my wife has our new place ready we're going to have them over. for a little housewarming.” When asked whether the party would be a strict housewarming affair or a bit of a celebration for winning the award, Mr. Burke said, “Both.”

You know how that

“Irish eyes will be kinda smiling that night, won't a

they?” “You ain't kidding,” was the reply.

“Thirty-four per cent,” the adamant milkman ret. The judge stared at the bottle of cream. The day was warm and the cream was getting a little curdled around the edges. There was no way for Judge Patterson to tell whether it was too rich, just right, or not rich enough. Solomon could not have reached a fairer decision; the judge said that since the cops insisted the cream was too rich and the dairyman contended it wasirt, he would send+ same to -a disinterested laboratory for anpalygis. The. cliemists in their white coats at this writing are. wi this in test tubes. Soon they will be. 0 tell the judge to a fraction of a percentum Tow madly the:milkman broke the law, if break it, he did. .

Disregards Statues

a ND ces can the cow be blamed for such wry. My cultural expert assures me * that the cow’ has no regard for the statutes, She produces milk of a“richness that varies with her breed and moods, but it doesn't ‘vary much, unless she’s feeling extra. blue. And the milkman can take care of that with a widget on his separator. Turn it to the right and the cream comes out rich and illegal; set it properly and 27 cent per-half-pint cream spouts forth with 34 per cent butterfat. That's the law and there is no argument. - - All thanks for this dispatch must go to my special Johnstown agent in charge of news about cream so good it's a crime. Makes me feel better about the federal government. Its troubles are not unique, or the more law, the more lawbreakers. Generous milkmen included.

scenic parks and a dozen memorials are available just for the trip and a smaJl admission fee.

For those who want to spend the night or a week, the state operates one of the biggest hotel and cabin systems in the country. Again, prices are comparatively low, ranging up to about $550 a person for room with bath. Family cabin accommodations are somewhat lower. » - ” ALREADY HOTELS at the state parks are booked up as much as a month in advance for week-ends. A quiet mid-week stay of two or three days still can be arranged in most of ‘the parks on as little as two or three days’ notice. One of the first places to come to the mind of rest-seeking Hoosiers will be a spot on Road 60 just off | road 37 in Lawrence county. There “you come down from the top of the hill 200 feet “»ad you go back 100 years.” The words 4re those of the late Col. Richard Lieber, father of the

- Just Sugar-Coated

THE MOVIE ended happily. That's commercial. But the daily life of Mr. and Mrs. America is matter of fact. There are troubles and adjustments. He is not always as kind as the hero of the picture. He's too tired. : Besides, he didn't get a chance to rehearse it a dozen times with memorized lines. His wife blames him, nevertheless, because she compares the way their day winds up to the glamorous clinch at the end of the movie. Yes, I'm inclined to agree with the psychiatrist. Happy endings in motion pictures are a hoax. They are misleading and dangerous unless they are taken for exactly what they are—rehearsed, fictionized, sugar-coated entertainment. * It would be interesting to see what an experiment in real life dramas might draw at the box office. The English pictures have .made a stab in that direction, with considerable success. We have had some stories about real, little people come from Hollywood studios, too, but we may need more of them.

There are a few large buildings, of the loft and warehouse types, that may be made fly-free without the necessity for-going over all ceilings and upper walls, foot by foot, with hand-directed sprays.

This very seldom happens any more; where it does, the only remedy is to cover with ashes or earth such manure as is already. present, and prevent any more from being dumped. It should be put on the land, for its fertilizer value.

Stockyards and slaughter ‘houses present a peculiarly difficult problem. Animals and their wastes always “draw. flies,” and cleanliness to the point of complete flylessness is difficult to achieve.
