And, Already, Cousin John Isn’t Liking It Any Too WeU By DON HEROLD It’s easy enough to be a “professor” on the subject of some far distant land like the moon. A friend of mine once said “I like Henry Wallace because he’s 20 years ahead of his time.” I replied that it’s the easiest thing on earth to be 20 years ahead of one’s time. The hard thing is to get something practical and useful and beneficial done TODAY.' Socialists are always talking

Over the last week-end the Howe Hornets increased their won and lost average to eight wins as against nine losses. After losing three in a row they came back to win two, one from Cathedral and the other from Garfield of Terre Haute. This game between Howe and Cathedral was the first in many years that a team features a long shot artist. He is a member of the Hornets. He is Wib Zobbe. He hit three out of four from out near the center circle. One of my spies from Howe says that Wib can stand in the center circle and connect for seven out of ten. Each team garnered ninteen field goals. Cathedral was cold as an artic wind from the free throw line missing fifteen out of twenty-two, while the Hornets got ten out of eighteen. ■ Tech of Ind’pls also increased their aggregate of wins to eleven, winning from Cathedral 37-24, and from Marion 50-42. In fourteen games Tech has scored 601 points to their opponents 537. Howe’s record shows 691 as against 745 for their opponents. On the 3rd of February Logansport entertained Jeff of Lafayette. At the end of hostilities we found that Jeff had an equal amount of points as that of their opponents with 738 each. Logansport, on the other hand with a won and lost record of 5-13 had scored 769 points; equal to that of their opponents. Hammond High School has the most points 943 in ninteen The remaining games on the Hornets schedule is: Feb. Il at Southport; Feb. 15 Manual at Howe and for their final engagement they will entertain Warren Central on the 17th. Tech will Play host to the Richmond Red Devils on the 10th, with Attacks on hand for an engagement on the Uth. Tech win close out their regular schedule up in Kokomo on tteelMh. With tourney time drawing near we predict that New Albany and Central of South Bend will engage in battle in the final game of the championship tourney on the 25th of March.

I about next year or a “five year 'plan” or the moon or the millennium—all very remote. But we don’t have to wait to see what Socialism will do to England. Even now, England has made a flop of it. The Socialist record of accomplishment in England is already an all-round sorry story. Take coal. In 1948, 26,000 more miners, helped by more modern equipment, produced 9 million tons of coal less than that produced by miners in 1941, the last year of investor-owned mines in England. By raising prices, the English coal industry made a small profit in 1948, but its loss since it became

socialized has been 90 million dollars. The Electric power industry in England has been socialized for about a year and a half. It takes many more workers to operate it than it took when the industry was investor-owned. Last winter the “planners”, decided to increase income by having a higher rate in winter (when people want more electricity) than in summer. Yet industry under government ownership is barely making a profit. John Bull isn’t any too happy about being shot to the moon. Yet many fuzzy-wuzzies here want us to take a similar ride. What do you say we wait and see?

America’s Wildlife Our national forests are the home of well over 2 million head of deer, elk, and other big-game animals—about one-third of the Nation’s total big-game population. In the western states about 70 per cent of all big game lives part or all of the year in the national forests.

Ambition of A Three Year Old When I get big I want to be A\ Grandpa to a tad like me. Hl have a front yard and a yard out back With a walk in the middle like a railroad track, Where a kiddy car and a sturdy bike Can go for many and many a . hike. An apple tree with a swing upon it. Ah Auntie Mae in a pink sunbonnet A chicken yard with chickens in it And he can feed them every minute. There’ll be one black duck and some that are yellow What a time he will have, that dear little fellow! I’ll buy him ice cream most every night, In Spring he will get the very first kite. I want the boy I have in mind To be very sweet and dear and kind, Of course he must be a very fine lad The same as the one . . . my Grandpa had! Anna E. Young

Overseas Relief To Be Offering By Protestants Nearly 100,000 Protestant congregations will participate in a second sacrificial offering for overseas relief to be taken in the spring of 1950. This concerted appeal by the major Protestant demoninations will culminate in the One Great Hour of Sharing, on Sunday, Mar. 12, following a period of special publicity in the press and over the radio as to the continuing physical needs of millions in Europe and Asia. Presbyterians will set aside the preceding month—from Sunday, Feb. 12 to Sunday, March 12—as a sacrificial period when all Presbyterian families are asked to eat one or more austerity meals a week as a corporate witness of their compassion for others less fortunate. The proceeds from these meals and from other freewill contributions for relief will be offered to the needy of the world at the One Great Hour of Sharing.

A small boy of our acquaintance has reached the age when he is beginning to “pick up words” and display his erudition before playmates. ‘Til bet,” he said recently to a young comrade, “that you don’t know what ‘expectorate’ means.” “Aw,” said the other lad, “sure I do; it’s a slang word fer spit.” Leadership always gravitates to the hands that are competent to hold it—and those hands are not always manicured.

Dressing took time ’way back in 1904. When young Lillian G. Sullivan Chicago’s first professional fashion model went, to work in 1904, dressing was a major project. Minus the advantages of the uplift bra, the two-way stretch and other streamlined modern garments, a gal had to take her time. The youthful Lillian, (Now 67-year-old Mrs. Sherburne Wightman got up, but early, to apply the layer upon layer garments to her otherwise slim person.

Before Lillian was ready to leave home and proceed to her job of fashion posing, a dozen ponderous items had to be adjusted properly. First came the “union suit,” interchangeable with an undershirt and knee-length panties followed by the corset, laced via the bedpost within an inch of strangulation. Then the corset cover (built ingeniously with rows and rows of strategically placed ruffles) was added. Over the corset, at the midriff, went hip pads attached to a string secured around the waist. These extended six inches port and starboard, with their companion piece, a coiled wire bustle, jutting a foot or so to the stern. On top of all this, a short muslin, ruffled petticoat was applied, then a long ankle-length slip of cotton, lisle stockings and highlaced or button shoes. Makeup was no problem. “Nice girls didn’t wear lipstick much—

and pinched their cheeks for color.” Mrs. Wightman recalls, still with a blush, that she once was offered five dollars to poee with her skirt raised coquettishly exposing a bit of a black-clad leg. But she refused, in spite of the fact that $5 was half the price of a good quality new dress or a plumed picture hat. After her marriage in 1907, Mrs. Wightman moved to Cleveland where she later became associated with Jane Adams as first publicity chairman in 1922 for the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom. She is the grandmother of two budding fashion models, and is still a perfect 36. Dressing in 1950 is simplified and takes very little time. The sweet young thing jumps out of bed at the very last minute, takes a few stream-lining exercises, dashes under the shower. Then slips into an uplift bra, nylon pantie girdle, nylon slip (sometimes), all within easy reach in the bathroom where they’ve been hung the night before when she rinsed them out. Next she slips her feet into the heel-less, toe-less, cut out shoes. The dress—zip and . it’s on. She applies lipstick, pancake makeup, runs a comb through her short hair, grabs up a shorty coat and beanie and dashes into the kitchen where she gulps a cup of coffee. Wades a block or two through the snow to the bus and arrives at the office calm, collected and ready for a good day’s work. This last paragraph is entitled “From Bed to Bus in Fifteen Minutes.” Seriously—even though I wonder what keeps some of our modern gals from getting pneumonia —they can have the “good old days.” I, for one, am thankful for nylon, for short hair, for showers.
