Inside Indianapolis By Ed Soveola
“IF YOU'RE going to kiss ’'em, boy, don't peck or collide or miss 'em, KISS 'em.” One of my favorite uncles used to say that whenever the subject got around to the fair sex. My Jnterest in girls you know, began with a blonde in the second grade. She hit me on the head with an icicle the size of a baseball bat. Liked girls ever since. & Quite a guy, Luncle Andy. His immortal (as far as his nephew is concerned) words came back to me at the Union Station, a good place to soak up heat and observe humanity on the move. A kissing humanity, too. Even though I have been guilty of deviating on occasion from the course Uncle Andy specified for best results, I'm incomplete agreement with his kissing precept. Can I help it that I've had my weak moments? > 0 WHEN A MAN leaves his woman, whether it be for an overnight business trip or a fortnight, I believe he should kiss his spouse or dream girl with a bit of gusto. The same thing applies when he returns. I have shuddered many times at the Union Station. From my observations, the younger couples either are too ardent or aloof. I have seen them cling to one another for so long you began to wornider if a call to the police emergency squad wouldn't be proper. On the other hand, and two youngsters immediately come to mind, they stand around gazing deeply into each other's eyes without many words passing between them until the last second, and nothing happens. You know that isn’t the way they wanted it.

It Happened Last Nig
By Earl Wilson
NEW YORK, Nov. 28—One afternoon about
‘ 5 o'clock, when Jane Russell is here on vacation,
I phone her up for an interview. I want to write about her singing and about her being the wife of &"football player. “I'm just up,” she says over the phone yawningly. : vt 5 I say, well, when can we get together, baby? Six forty-five in the St. Regis lobby, she says. y : Now at 6:35, not to keep a lady waiting, I take up a position in the lobby and try to watch the revolving doors.

While she is taking off her mink coat that has the name ‘Jame Russell Waterfield” on the lining, ‘she savs: “Ginger ale or ginger heer.’ “ Ta Ta SHE.

That Goodby Kiss Should Be Good One
MY ADVICE in the latter case is to for convention, forget timidity and full speed ahead, Buster. It may be the last time you'll see her. And not because of a train wreck, either. Especially if no knot has been tied. This brings to mind a parting in South Bend a few years ago. A young chap spent a week-end cheering the Fightin’ Irish, partaking of food and drink piaced before him by the parents of the lass, partaking of the enchantment of ruffled emotions. The guy thought he was in solid. At the bus station there were awkward moments. People milled around, the girl's mama was within arm’s length all the time. The time came to thank everyone for the excellent hospitality. Mama's hand was clasped, there was that crucial moment of either doing or not doing and a faint heart turned a couple of times and stopped. The bus lurched and, unknown to all present, the parting was forever. Uncle Andy's nephew returned to Indianapolis. The girl went back to school in Cleveland. Four months and three days later the girl was married. To another who evidently was not faint of heart. Sniff. .. @
OLDER MARRIED couples, the way they act at a station sometimes almost brings tears to a man’s eyes. A brush of cheeks and a casual, “I'll & back a week from Sunday,’ completes the partingZsA week from Sunday the cheeks will brush again and the meeting will be complete. Not all goodbys are so perfunctory, to be sure, but I have witnessed so many, that I'm beginning to wonder if someone shouldn't start adult classes in rejuvenating love's fires lost. A peck on the cheek can't even be measured by a stop watch, dude
THERE is a noticeable difference in the mar-
ried-20-years group after a couple of weeks of !
absence. The husband, however, is usually the candid one. Wifey, unless she has the family car in the repair shop, has more zip and fire. Just about the time you wonder if there is such a thing as two hearts beating as one for longer than a month after the. wedding ceremony, along comes a couple to revive your faith and make you a bit envious. In the goodby kiss you see perfect harmony, sustained love, a twinge of sadness and understanding, deep faith, matchless union, Time limit: 10 seconds. . ? hb : I WOULD LIKE to mention Mr. and Mrs. Harry Weaver, 7950 Sycamore Rd. Mr. Weaver was leaving for California to take care of some business. The couple has been married 12 years. A bachelor gets a lump in his throat when he sees such a parting. Ladies and gentlemen, take stock of your blessings and when the moment of hail or farewell arrives, act like it. Let's not have gush and mush and let's not have a heck and peck, let's have a great big hug and kiss. The miles will be
shorter. return will be sweeter, absence fonder, |
heart lighter. : ; If you're going to kiss em, KISS 'em. Time imit: 15 seconds.
Sports Fan Different
Breed. Jane R. Says herself to some of the chips on the table. She's just made two pictures, and has some good songs she's going to put on records. “Maybe they won't sell at all,” she says with characteristic lack of enthusiasm about herself... “Maybe they'll lay the world’s biggest egg.” Jane then says she has had to do everything the hard way, although I imagine some girls not so spectacular looking would think it wasn't so Hard. “I have gone into everything through the back door—by way of cheesecake pictures and Police Gazette,” she says. «In a way it helps, though. People don’t expect anything of me. When I deliver something mediocre, they're surprised I can do even that. They expect a freak and when I turn out not to be a freak, they say ‘fine! : > 0 “I CAN'T go anywhere but up from here.”
Finishing up her ginger ale and declining my
offer of another bottle, she savs she's had a hard job getting anybody to let her sing.
“Even Howard Hughes was scared to death,”
she-savys, mentioning her discoverer: “How do you get Howard over a barrel?” I want to know. “He wanted me to go on a personal appearance tour, and I said not just to be a straight man for a gag artist. So he said o. k.” Jane has made a lot of progress in both
