Inside I By Ed olianapelis
1 HAD A DATE with Carol Mitchell, the young ady from Rochester who is “Miss Indiana” and Who may be, the gods of beauty and talent Willing, “Miss America.” Well, Miss Mitchell is terrific. She has the kind of beauty that you want gveryone to see When she's with you. Carol has the quiet’ charm and easy and captivating personality that gets better every minute she’s with you. I think it's due to the fact that Carol doesn't realize how much she has on the ball. : : Carol fis still in love with Rochester, Ind. - Bloomington and the Indiana University campus, her parents, three sisters, and brother, her art work, friends, Lake Manito. Carol

BUT let -me start at the beginning of the evening that was much too short. I called for Carol at her suite in the Lincoln where she was staying with her mother. The previous day we
tentatively agreed to haye supper. I met Mrs. Mitdhell the day before when Carol was buying her wardrobe for Atlantic City. Carol's brother, Bob, came to the city and was having dinner with his mother, He was wearing a bow tie and that put him on my star list. I'm & bow tie man myself.
Before Carol and I said goodnight to Mrs, Mitchell and Bob, I was perfectly at ease, happy with the situation. I tried to forget, and did, that the evening was an assignment.
Carol ordered turkey. At the moment I can't think what I had. It was good, whatever it was. Small matter. The conversation was the best part of the meal.

Americana By Robert C. Ruark
NEW YORK. Aug. 28 —Dame works for us named Alicia Hart has 10st my business permanently with a piece to do with stealing father's handkerchiefs in.order to brighten up the female wardrobe. It is women like this who have pushed back the cause of femininity some several thougand years, which 1s still not far enough. Hark to the naked arrogance of the lead: “Americ n fathers, husbands and big brothers have so frequently had their wardrobes invaded bv the women of the family that they're. almost accustomed to having their wornout trousers and discarded ties reappear as feminine apparel.” “This time, however, thy're in for a greater shock; their handkerchiefs are being snitched. And not the wear-weary ones, either, but the newest, whitest, crispest that a roving female hand can find . . ."” : Well, sir, this American father, husband and big brother has not had his wardrobe, raided so frequently that he will put up with the theft graciously. And concerning new, white. crisp handkerchiefs, I am starting a laundry count with an eye to chopping off a roving female hand. at the wrist, if my sneezea short tally, bck AN SERED TORR SESE

CAIRO, Aug. 28—I'm not one who goes around gossiping about camels, but the camel I rode from the Pyramids to the Sphinx acted drunk, It threw me, and almost got me injured Whatever was wrong with “Whisky and Soda” (that was the camel's name), it acted very uncamelish. and because of its conduct unbecoming a camel, the Egyptian police wanted to arrest the camel-driver.

A Date With Miss Indiana
WE TALKED about Bloomington and the campus in the spring, summer, fall and winter. I don’t know about Carol, but I took a sentimental journey over every portion of the land that my memory says was full of highlights.
The twinge of sadness that comes to me with every recollection of IU because of a certain association, the sadness that broke in this column for three successive days after a “Dear John" letter (Dear Ed, in this case), began to come and soon was gone. And. it was a sjrange, wonderful sensation. « I'm free. We talked of big cities and small prefers the small cities. J said the town the size of Indianapolis was as large as I ever wanted to
live in. I never want to live in the shadow of the »
Windy Citysup north or work there again. We had something in common. The subject of brothers and sisters came up. Carol said I gnissed’ a great deal by "not having one or two sisters. It never occurred to me that I missed much until she mentioned it. I'll have to speak to my mother. It was extremely pleasant to exchange memories of family customs, childhood and we had the most fun talking about hand-me-downs from older brothers and sisters. I told Carol how, as youngest of three boys, I got everything second and third hand. My mother probably would correct this, but it seems to me that my first new article of clothing came when I was 12. It's been a long time since I've thought of the soft blue wool coat with the velvet collar, round, that my mother cut down for me. I remember I couldn’t wait until my second oldest brother was too big for it. Those were the days. We talked of homemade bread, peeking into the oven at the big Thanksgiving turkey, Carol's ambition to teach art to children with her chalk-talks. She hopes someday to get into television with her art. I wish I owned a television station.

Carol and she wanted to retire early. We went back to the hotel and talked with her mother.
Mrs. Mitchell deserves a great deal of credit for what Carol is. CAROL. ADMITTED she had her heart’ set

Atlantic City, Carol says she won't be disappointed. Shell do her best for Rochester and Indiana and understands the responsibility. The decision will come from others. I hope Carol wins. I wouldn't say that if I thought it would change her. Now Carol is gone. Don't know where she is. One evening, And here I sit staring into space.

There is no need to mention that masculine jealousy over the brighter plumage allowed the women just doesn’t exist. I am happy in my creased blueserge; let the lady wear the bird of paradise. Point I'm making has to dp with the viciously predatory approach of the shes to the hes. There is no handkerchief- shortage at all. You would imagine that a dame who desired a “king-sized fichu to add .a fresh look to an old evening gown” would go and spend a buck at the handkerchief counter and stay the begracious out of Papa's hanky drawer. , If IT am a dame and wish “attention-getting capelet,”” or to confect an inspirational apron with a dog's leash run fhrough two wisps of moonbeam. it would seem simpler to, me {fo go and buy the damn thing from the attention-getting counter. or the wispy moonbeam department instead of incurring the ‘righteous wrath of the male: provider who might suddenly desire” to “blow his nose on a piece of Dv In rarded Lrripose.

ASSAULT FROM THE AIR—Framed by the "Southern Pine" from which the maneuver took its name, waves of C-46 troop carrier ships drop armed paratroopers behind "enemy lines" in the final phase of "Operation Southern Pine." The air drop last week-end wound up the North Carolina sham battle, the largest peacetime military maneuver in U.S. history. The nation's top military brass was on hand watching the show. Troops of the 28th Infantry Division were supported.
