After all, his boss man and owner is the famous Maurice Evans, the Shakespearean actor. : Well, when I heard that Mr. Evans sent Hamish . all the way fran Brewster, N. Y., to the Vahce Kennels here so he could take part in his first dog show in the Manufacturers building at the Fairgrounds tomorrow and Sunday, I wanted to know more. Luck rode with me. When I arrived at the Vance Kennels, 3040 Baltimore Ave. Marguerite Vance, pro“prietor, was just getting ready to “pretty up” Hamish. .. © There's nothing like opening your big mouth to get things rolling. I mentioned to Miss Vance that I was a little disappointed with the way Hamish looked, a little shaggy, dirty and forlorn. ! Hamish looked up and in fine voice recited: “Keep a good tongue in your head—from ‘The Tempest.’ ” Arf—arf. You can imagine how I felt just then. A talking dog and making with the Shakespeare” stuff , Miss Vance wasn’t flustered, Hamish was perturbed but not flustered, why should I be? Miss Vance explained that Hamish had been running around all summer on his mast®r's estate in New York, that's why He had that outdoor look. Wait until he gets the beauty treatment for his debut in the West Highland White Terrier. Club of Indiana show on Saturday and the annual Hoosier Kennel Club on Sunday. I'll wait.

He said he'd have none of “the rankest compound of villainous smell that ever, offended nostril—‘The Merry Wives of Windsor.’ ” He sure knew his Shakespeare. Then we all moved to the special doggie wash tub.

NEW YORK, Oct. 10—I wish to nominate a Mr. Charles Justice, an athlete, for the All-American football team this year, and then later on—say, like 20 years away—for the presidency. I have formulated these views on certain sterling qualities in Mr. Justice's character. He has, for instance, after playing halfback for a chevron-wearing professional football team in Hawaii, reneged on his pro contract. He has busted a deal with the pros to enter college. The man has a courage that I would love to see employed for a more gainful use than cracking through tackle for 20 yards. In a state which has plucked sb many of its stars from Pennsylvania and New Jersey, wp have a than who was bred in Asheville, N. C., and actually going to work—I mean play —for the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill,
Imagine: Southerner in South
JUST FANCY! This season a southerner is going to play football'in the South! Mainly, though, I admire Mr. Justice, who is a 22-year-old sophomore, for his candor. Mr. Justice says, in’'a piece in PIC magazine, that he was prone to hate Chapel Hill when he arrived there, in his search for muscular grail. . “I never expected to see Chapel Hill again,” said Mr. Justice, the amateur halfback. “Duke and South Carolina had been especially nice to us, and we'd about made up our minds to attend either school.” But some mysterious alchemy involving rich elumni, happened somewhere along the line, and it wasn't long before Charles and his family were freshmen. Said Coach Carl Snavely, who once worked wonders with an ersaty North Carolinian named George Barclay, who hailed from the coal-

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10—Join congress and me today, all ye tighteners of the belt, and learn something (I don’t rightly know what) about the future of : eating in America. | : Congressional experts have been meeting all this ; week under enlarged photographs of corn fields and l white-faced cattle in the House Agriculture Commit- | tee room. They're been considering what we speciali ists call the long-term viewpoint. This concerns the | price of pot-roasts, not tomorrow, but five years from now. these Jerry Voorhis, an intense young man with tousled hair and horn-rimmed glasses, was telling about the vamp future when I dropped in. He used to be a congressi man himself (from California)... New he's executive | secretary of the Co-operative League of America. The future of eating looks a little confusing to a city fellow like me, but here are the facts as I heard ‘em: Mr. Voorhis said it used to be, before the farmer got smart and organized co-operatives to buy their supplies wholesale, that they never knew what was in a sack of fertilizer, or cattle feed.
They Began Mixing Their Own “THERE'D BE a sign on the fertilizer, ‘Morning Glory,’ or something like that,” he said, “but no indication what it was made of. So they began mixing their own, and labeling it properly, and now all the fertilizer factories tell the customers what's in the sack. The same goes for stock feed. I'm told it used to contain a good deal of sand.” Congressman Robert Gross of Pennsylvania, od used to be a farmer, begged to differ. He said sffte laws forced the proper labeling of fertilizer.

I certainly hope Mr. Justice will come out for the football squad.” |
Spent War Playing With Pros
“THIS WAS NOT a very wild wish, on Mr. Snave- | v's part, since Mr. Justice had spent the war playing first string running back on a team which was built on the cream of the pros, like Bill De Correvont and Carl Mulleneauy. It is particularly interesting in view of one of Mr. Camerer's anecdotes. Mr. Justice was sitting in on an early sosiology) class when the prof reared back and asked him if! he knew how Hitler ‘came into office. Charlie said nope. The professor didn’t recognize his student. “He came to power just like we got Charlie Justice!” the professor thundered. “Power politics, pure and simple!” The naked candor of the whole thing is enthrall-| ing. Mr. Justice was asked what he might have been if he had not been born a gifted athlete. “I might have been a bum,” said Mr. Justice, flexing his biceps. Mr. Snavely was asked about the chances of his well-endowed kids deserting him for the pro ranks. Said Mr. Snavely; : “I haven't given a thought to any of my boys] turning pro. They're college kids at heart. If they can’t appreciate the value of a college education and the fine contacts that go with jt—that's too bad.”
