It Happened Last Night
By Earl Wilson :
NEW YORK, June 26—It wasn’t hard to get Comedian Joe E. Brown to talk about my favorite subject, “Girls.”
Joe and I. are both from little towns in Ohio —Joe from Holgate and North Baltimore, and I, from Rockford.
Small town boys always think they know more
about girls than city boys. They don’t, but they think they do.
“Are the girls today worse than when we were young?” I asked. Joe’s recently performed with such girls as Ava Gardner and Kathryn Grayson in “Showboat.” He sees girls around his Broadway hit, “Courtin’ Time.” And, of course, his wife used to be a girl (same as mine). “We: have slightly lower morals now,” Joe said, “but I don't blame the girls or the girls’ clothes. '¢ &
“EXPOSURE,” he went on, referring evidently to low necklines, “doesn’t mean girls don’t have character. Girls had the Same ~ figures years ago they have gs now, but they didn't show them 80 generously. “That’s just the fashion today. Doesn't mean a thing.” “Does girls’ talk shock you sometimes?” 1 asked him. wy “Not shock me. It's sort of _ unexpected sometimes, Dagmar “One thing I criticize is a girl smoking in the street. I can never accustom myself to it. “I think that women smoking cigarets when they're driving is responsible for a lot of automobile accidents, too.” Joe laughed, thinking back to the days when bobbed hair and lipstick were considered sinful. “Lipstick! Why, the first time I saw it when I was a youngster, we thought of the woman who wore it as a ‘painted woman!» Joe, although not a weekly church-goer, gets a little upset at some of the frank writing he sees.
- 4 &
“WHEN I WAS a kid, we would never write Hell. We would write ‘H—." But now the writers write hell and damn all over the place, “I also think we have too many books that are too easy for a child to reach.” Joe assured me. “I never saw Ava or Kathryn do one little thing wrong.” ‘Joe himself got married quite a number of years ago to Kathryn McGraw whom he courted while playing in Oakland, Cal. “We got married here at City Hall by an Alderman Smith,” he said.

The bride wore white but called off the honeymoon because I forgot to have the State Farm Insurance Co. insure the car, and the silly wench ran off with another guy who just happened to be redolent of Coca-Cola, wearing Adler elevator, shoes, and belonging to that “shaving club, whose name I disremember.

DIDN'T BOTHER me much, because the next lady I marrjed took one look at her legs in the new nylons, discovered that mysterious “other woman” who had been lurking in the darkest crannies of her mind, and ran off with the milkman.

of the family will head for one of Indiana's 14 state parks. They've been going to one nearly every summer, and there's ‘no point in breaking a good habit.
Attendance at the Hoosier state parks is headed for another record. So far, more than 350,000 have paid their dime admissions this year, and Director Ken Cougill expects the total easily to top 1,600,000. That would surpass the previous record of 1,588,530 set in 1950. There are two things about Hoosier parks which Hoosiers like most. BB 8 =» . FIRST, t offer activities for all the family. “There is nothing finer than the family unit, and that’s why the main theme in our parks is family recreation,” Mr. Cougill explained.
CO-FEATURE of Indiana's parks is simplicity.
People get their fill of city life’s complexities in the 50 other weeks. Mere absence of honking horns, gadgets and radio hucksters is a pleasure in itself.
“That's why there's no fluff at state parks. That's why we've held firm against television in the cabins,” Mr. Cou-

means he blows at every intersection.
Bicycle and motorcycle riders use the- horn constantly. A pedestrian erosses a street at thé risk of his life. Even dogs stop, look and listen before venturing out. They're smarter than some folks in the States in that respect. The language barrier is going to be tough. It’s unbelievable in such a short distance, London to Paris, to have a new language, new customs, a different way of life. That could be the basis for all the strife here, What an awful mess it would be if every one of our 48 States had a different tongue, porders where you would have to pass through customs officials and use different money. When you're on your vacation and sailing through state after state, think about this. We have it made in the States.

Simplicity is a relief to the pocketbook as well as the mind. Therefore you don’t have to scrounge all year to vacation at a state park, where food and lodging cost only $5.25 to $5.85 per person per day. And that's why recreation officials throughout the nation generally regard Indiana’s park system as the second best in the U. 8. ranking behind New York only. Here are the chief attractions of each state park.

State Parks Tops With Pops—
Why Not Vacation In Indian:
Clifty Falls
Its 617 acres are about 90
miles southeast of Indianapolis, near Madison. It has several waterfalls and“icebox” canyons which the sun reaches only at mid-day. Its high, wooded plateau over the Ohio River offers hotel lodging, hiking, horse and bike riding, playground and picnjc areas. You can cool your tootsies with a wade, but no swimming.
Indiana Dunes
If it's sand you like, this will do short of the Sahara. Most of its 2182 acres, about 150 miles north of Indianapolis, are sand dunes. Three miles of it fronts on Lake Michigan. Its dunes, both moving and fixed, are among the few preserved for public enjoyment. The area also includes “forests and a marsh where plant life is widely varied. Nature in the rough is best seen here. Other facili~ ties include cabins and camp grounds, swimming, bike riding
and plenty of trails through terrain that seems worlds apart. . Lincoln
Chief attraction is the memorial to the Great Emancipator’s mother, Nancy Hanks Lincoln. The 1523 acres include an artificial lake stocked with fish. About 140 miles southwest of Indianapolis, it offers hiking,
picnic and playground facilities.
McCormick’s Creek
Opened jn 1916, this was Indiana's first state park, and still rates among the most popular. Much of its 1055 acres is timber featuring more than 50

species of trees and hundreds
of wild flower varieties. You can fish in White River and swim in the pool. McCormick's Creek winds through a canyon 100 feet deep and has a 12-foot falls. Wolf cave, with its natural bridge, was formed by glaciers, and trees flourish atop its roof, Other lures are Echo canyon, 14 miles of foot trails, horse and bike jockeying, a museum and wildlife exhibit, lodging, tennis and, of course, picnic grounds. Near Spencer, 50 miles southeast of Indianap-
olis. Mounds
This small (251 acres) park near Anderson features the preservation of Mound Builders’ work, an insight to prehistoric civilization. Heavily wooded around White River, it also offers horsebackriding, fishing and play and picnic areas. About 40 miles from Indianapolis.
Muscatatuck
Small and rugged, its 200 acres include rugged timber and rocky gorges along the Muscatatuck River. Scenery rates ace high. Good for hiking, camping, picnicking and fishing. Eat and sleep, too. About 65 miles southeast of Indianapolis.
Pokagon
For fishing and other lake fun, this is the spot. Its 937 acres include two lakes. You can fish, row or swim, but if you're not aquatic there is plenty of wooded land for hiking, picnicking or snoozing in the shade. Unique is the wildlife range with buffalo, deer and

Shades
Opened in 1947, it’s the newest state park in operation. Its 1952 acres are 50 miles west of Indianapolis. Good for hiking along Sugar Creek, timber trails or sandstone gorges. Also lodging, bikes and picnic arest.
. . Spring Mill Here is history without books. Life in pioneer days can be studied in the original waterpowered grist mill, the saw mill, old hat shop, the house of spirits (alcoholic), boot shop and original homes. Streams in two caves contain the original blind fish, which lost their sight because they never saw light. It also offers swimming, fishing, hiking and most other recreations. Hotel is comfortable. Its 1164 acres are located 85 miles south of Indianapolis.
