Show ANI AND TWEEN with OREN PROBERT I 1 cashed in on my wife s sing ing ab lity by spend ng a weekend at the cotol utah but then the contest rules stated that she would be properly chaperoned and I 1 was legally qualified so i was n t a case of creat ng a situation for my own convenience I 1 don t know if it is a good pol icy to write about ones one s wife but suddenly I 1 have the urge to make mention of a few things I 1 would like you to know incidentally this will probably mean beans for the next two weeks at dinner time women are like that though praise them and you get beans forget to pra se them and you get burnt bens beans beans beans beans regardless its still bean beans are endless anyway when the state wide tal ent search was first initiated by and the jun or chamber of commerce beverly was hesitant to participate locally because of be ng older and more experienced than the other tooele thoele contestants after considerable persuasion she finally consented that is until I 1 was handed the publicity job then she balked for fear the public would think it was a set up in the event she won I 1 resigned from having anything to do with the program and at long last she gave her official okay well the rest has been made public she won locally she won the brigham city district and then appeared aup eared on radio station now its it s up to the judges to name a grand winner regardless of whom they select someone will be hurt the judges will be crit and some folks will make a big fuss over the final outcome but like I 1 tell beverly it s much more honorable to hold your head high in defeat knowing you did your level best than it is to fill your bosom with conceit and lie awake nights wondering it if you won because of you or yours I 1 was interested in a recent newspaper article concerning the amount of federal aid which has been earmarked for airport con st ruction in utah the sum to atals plus a stipulation wherein the receiving agency must contribute matching funds these funds are to various air port projects throughout the state such projects were listed as to the amount of f lancial aid each would obtain but apparently local im prove ments will be in waiting be cause tooele thoele county missed the boat it seems that something is lacking in our local political set up when a community the size of roosevelt receives and tooele thoele draws a goose egg while I 1 was seated by one of the huge pillars in the lobby of the hotel utah on sunday I 1 sudden ly became aware that I 1 was sur rounded by celebrities alfred drake with jet mcdonald was standing on one side of me and john garfield paul draper and larry adier adler were on the other my attention was focused on garfield who is actually much smaller than he appears on the screen he wore built up shoes and chewed gum ike like a bobby boxer it was in te resting to note the difference in garfield s attitude and that of his companions they acted as though they owned the place and garfield looked like he was afraid someone would yell boo while sitting in the same chair in the hotel lobby I 1 saw depre tentative senta tive william A dawson of utah he was talking to a group of local followers and oddly enough he had one foot planted in the middle of a nice soft chair A bell boy walked by rather hes to remind him about the hotel s furniture I 1 recall seeing a copy of the congressional record which re corded dawson s speech to the louse house of representatives on june 1 1947 he ile was very firm in his that we should halt fin ancial aid to russia in asked if anyone in the house could tell him why the united states should advance a total of american dollars to soviet russia and her friends dur ing the current six months no one could give a satisfactory ex the theory of this aid accord ing to henry A wallace is to en gender a spirit of good will and peace between our countries in fact mr wallace made a speech in newark in which he reportedly said the united states has be come the center of world reaction and the common man more and more looks to russia for ideas help and inspiration in reply to this mr dawson be alieves the american people will no longer stand for these huge grants of american dollars to a nation which offers nothing in re turn but contempt for the amen ameri can way of life mr dawson is to be congratulate ed apon his stand against soviet russia and those american citi zens who are trying to undermine our way of thinking let s hope he wakes washington up even if he does stand on hotel furniture watch for the announcement
