. | IN THE LAST analysis, and to this student i-of fine art (one years study with Miss Dobbins Lk

in first grade), Elmer Taflinger's Studio of In. dianapolis should be called an art studio, - But due to my extensive training it could be called something else, too. Now I'm proceeding, not as a serious portrait artist or # future Mich elangelo, but, as Joe Blow who appreciates sur-

roundings where opportunities for fun are many. first, and for art, second. ‘ Mr. Taflinger is the “Old Master” to more than 40 determined art students who come to 158

E. 14th St. for three hours cach evening five’

times a“week. To ‘me, Mr. Taflinger is the kind sof & white-haired gentleman every kid should have for an ungle. Why?

Hardly able to breathe, I arrived at his studio with the speed that would make Roy Rogers’ Trigger sit up and take notice. ‘Well, sir, the model, as introduced to. me was a well-built Hungarian adagio ‘and acrobatic dancer by the name of Miklos Hargitay and he's 8 heckuva nice guy. Not only that, Miklos is married to an American girl whose picture he shows everyone. I should say pictures. He has one of those wallets with the album inside. The guy is, happy. The introduction chilled me off considerably even though Mr. Taflinger laughingly assured me that Miklos could tell me what a model thought about while 40 eyes measured him off with a stick of charcoal, “There's no hurry now,” was my answer and proceeded to take a look around. Mr, Taflinger was a most hospitable host. . While Miklos resumed his pose on the platform, and students continiied on the long road to art, Mr. Taflinger followed me as I inspected his radio station along the back wall of the huge room. mache place was filled. with snappy. gnusic....

Play-By-Play

By Robert C Ruar with various nuclel of diverse . atoms.

NEW'YORK, Dec. 13—This is the time of year when all the journalistic fat cats, with the special pipelines to Olympus, take down the mallet and cpisel to engrave ‘their triumphs on the reader's forehead. - ! I would be a traitor to the guild, it séems to me, if 1 failed to regale you ‘with a play-by-play of my weighty contributions to the dwindling year. Let's do it by months: January: Wrote a story on the “new” Tom Dewey. Told how he had thinned his moustache, jollied up his personality, Crosby'd-up his voice. Said he couldn't miss. February: Interviewed kissing Jim Folsom, governor of Alabama, Kissing Jim had just announced his candidacy as president, on the Democratic ticket. Said he couldn't miss. Also caught cold. ’ - ‘March: Discovered that the oysters in Louisi--ana were sick, but failed to diagnose the case. Interviewed a man named Jimmy Moran, who has a diamond-studded zipper. Fell off a hoss in Houston, Tex. Came out flatly against sin. Still had cold.

Bullfighter Takes a Powder

APRIL: Acquired a bullfighter. From Brooklyn. Swindled $500 from a saloon-keeper, named Billingsley, to send said matador to Spain. To kill bulls. No bulls in Brooklyn, naturally. At least not killable bulls. Bullfighter took the $500 and went to Chicago. Said he had a girl there. Haven't seen him since. Moral: Who needs a bullfighter? Especially one from Brooklyn. May: Came out flatly against duckbilled platypuses. Accused them of despoiling our natural Yesources. Called isolationist for this stand, by

More Delicious Flavors THIS IS A LOT, he said, but it’s not unreasonable and is explained partly by the fact that people have been eating vast quantities of his gelatin in six delicious flavors, as well as his pre-cooked lemon, chocolate and butterscotch puddings. For the first time since the war he’s even putting out new flavors, such as rice. You just dump the package in the bowl, add hot milk, and, as I understand it, you've got rice pudding. This is amazing. Even Mr. Francis is amazed. A year ago he never thought he'd bg selling rice pudding in paper envelopes. But that's the way with progress. It sneaks up on you. _ Puddings, as he said, are only one reason his profits are so much greater this year than last. He's got all the sugar he needs now to make ‘em.

The other reason is he and his helpers made & horrid mistake in 1947. a They thought the pricé of one of their products was going to sink in the wholesale marts. So they
