SUNDAY, NOV. 26, 1950 Inside. Indianapolis By Ed Sovola: :
ON THIS day of rest, ‘when youre relaxed and feel fine, I'd like to kick around a few ideas “about week-day 5 o'clock traffic. To begin with, how does this idea strike you? If all motorists simply would remember to =~ the ladies and gentlemen .they are when they're afoot, a great deal of the rush-hour chaos could be avoided. That is not to say that traffic engineers have done all that is possible to increase the flow of traffic. You can meet experts with solutions at any bar, luncheon, cotillion and gas station. Traffic lights, traffic officers, layout of one-way sireets are constantly taking broadsides. I'll not argue those points. But I will venture to say, if cevery street was four lanes wide, lights were perfectly synchronized, traffic officers geniuses, we'd still have trouble because of the attitude most motorists adopt the minute they get behind the wheel of their automobiles. Something happens to our ethics. We seem to go backwards and revert tg a primitive, an
tagonistic frame of mind. It's machine 1 machine. . Behind the wheel of an automobile, the time element becomes the most important. - In a traffic lane, a two-minute delay “is a calamity At a

No quarter is given. But he expects his share, If he should happen to be the owner of a Chevrolet, the man in a Cadillac is an enemy. The man with a rattletrap should be forced off the road. If an identical Chevrolet is ahead. the guy driving doesn't know his left hand from the right and has two empty heads. At any intersection in the. city basic courtesies are disregarded on a wholesale scale. The other night at Meridian and Vermont Sts. I saw an exception. This gentleman saw a fellow motorist pressing for an advantage ‘and waited. The eager. one was so surprised he killed the motor of his car, A wail of horns began and I doubt seriously whether the kind of action was appreciated. The man with manners probably was called a hick.

MOTORS take a beating in this day and age instead of horses. I'm glad of that. I remember an old baker who used to deliver his goods in our neighborhood. When a housewife rankled the old boy, the horse would feel his wrath. - And yet, by human standards, the baker was a good man, good to his wife and often generous to us kids. : : When.the evening rush is a candid camera could record familiar faces warped with temper that would equal the ceremonial masks of aborigines.

NEW YORK, Nov. 25—I made a date to meet Dagmar, the new national sensation. I saw her as soon as I went in. Couldn't help it. She stood out, sitting there in Toots Shor’s, like a blonde Empire State Building. She waved. I went over. She turned to another girl and sald to me, “Meet my sister, Jean. Just came in from Huntington to handle my fan mail.” Jean, a brunet, is smaller than her 5-foot-81; blonde sister who in four months has gone from & nobody to about the most-ogled chick .in the country. Jennle Lewis of Huntington, W. Va, has done so well on Jerry Lester's Broadway Open House TV show that the movies want her, and so do peoples who make dolls, sweaters, and whatnot. Dagmar can become the female Hopalong Cassidy. ay * 2 “DID YOU ‘order a drink, honey?” she asked. “Orange Juice,” I grunted. “I don’t want to get drunk. I might see four Dagmars.” So far Dag hadn’t said anything stupid. On the program she says things like: “A mushroom is a place to make love.” Dagmar is like Marie Wilson, in a couple of respects. But the television writers, and Jerry

remarks. : When Jim Konstanty, Philadelphia's famous relief pitcher, came on the program, Dagmar called him “Mr. Constantly,” and added, “It's so nice to hear you're on relief.” Dagmar’s a sample of what can be done today with a good figure. Dagmar is called “the outstanding literary figure” because she supposedly writes some poems. * 9 4 “YoU OUGHT to see my male, sweetie,” Dag sald. “I got a letter from a woman. She said the sity of Huntington ought to take their statue of Mr. Huntington’ or whbever it is down, and put one up of me. “A man in Washington said my picture was printed there. “He said, ‘Sciasors have never seen such ac tion, In this town since the days of Jean Harlow’. Another picture was from an insane asvium biit this man wasn't insane, see? The people there just thought he was. They let him drive a truck part of the time,
