Bombshells Fizzle .

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, Aug. 11.—In America, in order to get a license, a night club apparently must engage a Chilean dancer, an Argentine dance team, a. Brazilian sextet — or a “bombshell” from Latin America. A bombshell is a girl who vibrates to music. The mare she shivers the better the bombshell. 80 I decided, while down here among all these bombshells and rhumba and whirlroom dancing, to see how it looks fresh from the factory. In‘Lima, Peru, I saw an Argentine orchestra. In Santiago, Chile, I ran into a dance team from Chicago " and-a band from Brazil. In Buenos Aires, the “Paris of the Western Hemisphere,” I listened to an Hawaiian band, a Chilean singer and saw a dancer from Havana, But I have yet to see a bombshell! I'm beginning to think all this South American stuff we get in the United States comes from Macon, San Antonio, etc. The best act I've seen so far—and ‘twas superb—came from Madrid, a duo of classical dancers in stunning costumes. The only thing close to a bombshell was a gal who booked herself as Cuban but who was fair as the fairest Saxon. you ever saw. Drink and GetNois - ae —- gets rather noisy. . There's always a: Jukgler, per3 is an, acrobat team, a singer, a dancer. | “The Latins, should thank the gods, however, for being spared f the bad gags and singing of masters of- -ceremonies— maybe they've killed ‘em all off down here. In Santiago two guitarists went about the room

singing Chilean songs and everybody joined lustily. In Lima a fine Argentine tenor, singing with a band,

$3000 Vacation

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 11.—Red Skelton is unfair to vacation renters. If I could have my way, a senate committee would, investigate him. Howard Hughes and his pal, Johnny Meyer, spent $6000 on a single party, they say. But Red Skelton spent $3000 on two rooms and a bath. Without a party even. I got the story from a pative of Balboa, Cal., while fishing in the bay. I was supposed to be on my vacation but I had movie stars in my hair for two weeks anyway, 0 there wasn't much point in not listening. Red and his wife wanted to spend a week in Balboa. Red's manager, Edna Borzage, drove the 45 miles to Balboa to pick out a place. There were only two rooms and a bath available in an apartment home. Edna wrote a check for a nominal weéek’s rent. But the apartment, Edna said, would have to be redecorated to keep Red happy. Edna ought to know, on account of being his ex-wife. “Now don't get excited,” said Edna to the apartment owner, “I'll pay for everytihng. And you'll have a beautiful apartment when I get through.” : -

Night Shift, Too S80 EDNA CALLED in carpenters and electricians and drapery men and paper hangers. In two days and two nights—they were hanging wallpaper at 3 a. m.—the rooms were completely redecorated. “Red,” announced Edna, “will like it now.” She paid off the redecorators to the tune of $3000. Red and his wife arrived for the seven-day sojourn.

By “right people” Don means solid citizens. ‘The kind who give their time, knowledge and’ maybe a small loan to see a hard-working boy make good. As an illustration, Don told of his first purchase. He went to the Indiana Duroc state sale with $100 in his pockets. William Adamson, vocational agricultural teacher

sat on. either side of Don to see he got the best for his money. The bidding for the Duroc Don wanted went up to $125. Don said he was ready to quit at the $100mark but the two men weren't. They put in the $25 and Don went home with Promotion Susie, He was in the business. “Promotion Susie was a good nam&®" Don said. had three litters for a total of 36.

They're as enthuiastic about Don's achievements as he is, except that Don doesn’t show it. When Don talks about prizes he says it's luck.

What Makes Good Durocs?

DON CLAIMS that even I could raise championship Durocs. * I doubt that. When I asked Don

he rattled off: “Look for deep hams, good arch on the back, short head and neck, straight legs, straight underline and well developed udder.” That's all. Ah yes, Don. As you were saying a while back, a lot ‘depends on the outcome of the county fair which starts Monday. Why? The answer was no surprise. Don wants to collect all the prizes he possibly can and sock the money in a bank for that farm he has in the Wick of his sogeinds dn fact; $wWe- arma. Don says the two best states in the whole country are Indiana and California. “Someday I want a farm in each one so I can work out in the open all year around.” What's American youth coming to? Don plans to get to the county fair early. He has his eye on the east stalls where it's cooler. Today, Don will be parading his Durocs before the judges at New Bethel. I want this to get around: I hope he brings home the bacon from that fair and goes on to the state fair for better pickings.

It was silent, polite, appreciaive--exceph for one group of six. There was a loud-mouthed comedian, the usual type, in this party. The others howled at each gag he pulled—while everybody else listened attentively to the singer. “Americans, of course,” said an American with me, who has lived here 30 years, “everybody always knows when American tourists are here. They always interrupt the show.” I felt a bit ed, and took a close look. They proved to be Americans, all right.

Stands on His Head

CAME THE final act. A man stood on his head and played the fiddle. I didn’t get a bang out of it. All right, he played the fiddle, and like the seal at the circus you could tell it was “Stars and Sip Forever.” So what? But the wise guy in the American tty didn’t need to say in a loud voice: “I do that every day before breakfast.” Nor did.the rest of the Americans have

5400 Scenic Acres Comprise Area

ALTHOUGH Versailles state park is one of the youngest parks in Indiana's string of 14, its 5400 acres of wooded hills and scenic valleys is rising rapidly in popularity. Located in Ripley county just east of Versailles, Ind, the park may be reached over*U. 8. 50 and Ind. 29. ; Nationally-known for its excellent field trial running grounds, Versailles state park has eight courses within the park to judge the stamina and ability of bird dogs. For the past several years: the Indiana Field Trial association has held its semi-annual trials at the park and as many as 75 dogs have been run and adjudged on these courses in less than a week's time. » » » ”

A, NUMBER of picnic areas equipped with outdoor ovens, tables and benches provide good recreation for park visitors. Some of the

Group camp facilities are more fully developed than in any other state park and the 4-H club camp site in‘ Versailles .is the only camp in the state with a private swimming pool. A huge mess hall which accommodates 118 persons, a recreation hall and a number of cabins make up the buildings within the group camp. Park officials have announced that future plans include construction of a dam which will create a 300-acre lake for Swimming, boating and fishing; construction of a beach and bath house; remodeling of cabins to provide living quarters for families wishing to camp at the park, and other improvements. » » » . RECREATIONAL facilities include fishing, hiking, picnicking, archery hunting and camping. The second annual Conservation Education camp, jointly sponsored by the Indiana department of conservation, - Purdue university, and the office of the superintendent of public instruction, just ended at Versailles state park.

The beaming apartment house owner ushered thei into the newly decorated rooms, and has been telling friends ever since. “They didn’t even mention the looks of the joint. All Red said was: ‘How far are we from the bar at Christian's Hut?’ ” But Balboa vacation renters are steaming mad. The story got around fast and to get a place for a month or even a week at Balboa next summer the renters are afraid they'll have to throw in redecorating jobs to keep the landlords happy. As I said, I tried to get away from movie stars by going to a secluded spot across the bay from Balboa. But it didn't work. There were ‘movie stars on every wave.

of the bay, I was sitting there fishing with my 6-year-old son when Humphrey Bogart, at the helm of the Satana, came about to drop his sails The Satana missed the rowboat by a foot. Bogart cracked as he slid by: “Hello, Johnson, I thought you were getting away from movie stars.” Coke Miller of Enterprise studio, sitting on the deck, looked down and said: “Have you seen the box-office figures on ‘The Other Love’? They're terrific.” If IT had had a torpedo, I would have sunk the Santana and Bogart and Baby Bacall and Coke Miller right then and there. All I could throw at ‘em was a fishing sinker. And I missed, darn it.

It was time for a change, time for an administration that thought of the interests of all the people and not merely those of the machine, time for new blood and aggressive leadership, argued the 35-year-old Quigg Newton. But he had no thought of running for office himself. He wanted to get back to the practice of law. So when he started looking around for a man to take the lead, he never even glanced in the mirror.
