. THE MONTHLY meeting of the Club was just called to ortier when I got the jpulse to make myself scarce, I thought of Pp. :
Nothing bothered me until my greatest boy- *
hood pal returned on a clouG of memories. Sitting there among cat fanciers in one of the offices of Kirby Sales & Distributing Co., 247 N. Delaware 8t., I could almost see and hear him. . Shep, the terror and scourge of felines in the greater part.of Northern Indiana, seemed. to be asking if I had turned traitor. That was hard to
take. True, Shep and I never had much love for
cats. But Shep had been roaming happy hunting grounds almost 20 years. And I've grown up
- somewhat since we were together.
* © A GUY HAS to move forward. Just because he used to consider the cat a natural enemy doesn’t mean he cap’t change his mind. Many people love cats. I don’t know why but they do and it was pcssible that the Inland Cat Club could enlighten me, 2 It" was difficult but thoughts of Shep were finally shaken. Mrs, Carl Vaugnn, vice president, called the meeting to order and explained Larry H., Earle II, president, couldn’t be present. She mentioned she was slightly disappointed that only eight of the club’s 16 members showed up. Evans Harrell, secretary, read the minutes of the last meeting. Took about a minute. Treasurer E. P. Lacey Sr. reported he had $9 in the treasury. Someone said Mr, Lacey and the club should be proud of what had been accomplished since the club was started less than a year ago. SS @ 3 “WE STARTED from scratch and today we find ourselves with $9 in the treasury. That's pretty good.” Everyone agreed. ; eS THE OTHER four members present were Mrs. Harriet Rieman.

It Happened Last Night
By Earl Wilson
NEW YORK, Dec. 7—Can I help it if I love secretaries? Fifteen years ago come Jan. 10, a cutie of a gecretary named Rosemary Lyons, working in downtown N. Y. went out on her lunch hour. Returning a mere four hours later, she breathlessly told the oy 221 LS boss: she'd been . = Sail hic in an accident ; , —which she had, sort of. She'd been married—to me. Bhe didn’t blab that to the boss. She'd have been fired. : Secretaries were supposed to be singie then. She need-
help keep her husband in the splendor to which he was u n accustomed but quite willing to find out about.

junch hour.” I. meant Isabel Bigley, 22, the new hot B'way actress. She's an ex-stenog like Ethel Merman and Mrs. Vincent Impellitteri. Because of her role
. in “Guys and Dolls,” she can go to Hollywood
if she wants to, but who wants to? One day in ’47 when she was 19 and making 45 bagels a week at the British Ministry of Supply Missions, 25 Broad St., she took a long.lunch hour «+ « but no lunch, . She waggled into the Theatre Guild, to Jerry White, and said: . “I've done nothing on the stage. I think I ean. ~ If somebody doesn’t give me a chance, nobody’ll: ever know whether I can.” PSS INSTEAD of this boring the pants off him, it amused him and he said, “I like you. Come sing for me tomorrow noon.” One lunch hour later (more darned lunch hours in this, ain't they?) she sang, remembering Juilliard, remembering the choir at St. Michael's, forgetting her letters-she hadn't typed. oe “How'd you like to go into the chorus of
T0klahoma' and also understudy the lead?" White
asked her. She'd like to fine, just as soon as she came to. Then to London where Betty Jane Watson, the lead, was having a baby, and Isabel took over the lead. She got a TV show on BBC. She had coffee with the King and Queen. She was very
big.
Americana
By Robert C. Ruark NEW YORK, Dec. T—Mr. Bernie Baruch, a discredited statesman (discredited by the Truman administration, which still employs Harry Vaughan and Dean Acheson) has returned triumphantly from the southland with a fresh record. A ~ . -Mr. Baruch, weil past his 80th milestone, has just reported, over the signature of four witnesses, the deaths of 15 bobwhite quail with 13 shots.

Cat._Meeting
Inland Cat Mrs. A. L. Welgler, Ms. Harrell leaned over and
the purpose of the club was to promote
explained interest in cats and cat shows and build up a’
benevolent attitude towards the stray eat. It couldn't have beep anything but the imag- _ ination playing tricks. ‘I thought Shep was going wild. A choking spell seized me. Benevolent attitude towards alley cats? What would young big game hunters with dogs like Shep have to trac down? - Mrs. Harrell said Mrs. Vaughn placed 64 cats in the past 60 days. People love cats. My comment that cats are sneaky beasts was a little louder than expected. All faces turned toward me. Up above, on a special fighting cloud, Shep bared his teeth, > @ FROM ALL sides came protests and merits of the cat. Somebody had a cat that kisses people. Another had a cat that shakes hands. “My cat catches birds and brings them to me
~ unhurt and I release them.” :
“Siamese cats were originally trained to be fighters in armies. The intelligence of cats is higher than that of a horse or.dog.” Shep was tearing up his cloud. Although my head was slightly bowed, I was still not entirely convinced. Perhaps a little more sympathetic. Mrs. Vaughn reported that her records show the club had 126 cats to place. Fiftyfour got board and room, 57 were still homeless:
Where the other 15 went, she didn't know. I
hesitated to bring out again that cats were sneaky.
* * +
Mrs. Vaughn read several letters, One letter was from a printer who said he tried to organize a cat club. He printed cards, sent them out and to this day he hasn't had an answer. «SO MR. HARRELL reminded the group it was election night. Mr. Lacey Sr. whispered in my ear that cats make better pets for children than dogs do. Mrs. Lacey thought the present officers shauld be re-elected. The present officers (all except Mr. Earle who wasn't present) objected as far as the re-election concerned their individual offices. Mr. Harrell was in complete agreement with the idea of re-electing everyone except the secretary. Secretary Harrell thought the club could stand a new secretary. He also reminded the membership that if new officers were elected, the _ stationery would have to be changed. The reelection was unanimous. The cat show in Columbus, O., was discussed. Members wondered where they could get cat sitters. The final business was to change the next meeting date from January 2 to the: 9th. Mr. Harrell thought the latter date would make: it easier for members to put their heads together, He was joking, he said. Shep and I left. Cats may be all right. If only they wouldn't give me the creeps and sneak around. I'll take a big, friendly dog anytime, Like Shep. To each his own.
Another Secretary Makes Goodin N.Y.
And here not a soul had ever heard of her, “Got to fix that,” she probably said. 3 o> FLYING BACK to America for a vacation, she went to Hollywood where Howard Hughes wanted her for a movie, and almost missed “Guys
- and Dolls.”
Just as they were about to sign another gal, Isabel walked in. “Six minutes tater -and I'd have missed it,” she says. : Now, of course, it's monotonous . .. all these “By the way,” I =aid to her, “I trust you went back and finished up your letters after getting that first job.” } “I'm afraid I didn’t.” she said. “Her success story,” I said to the BW, “is a lot like yours.
