Show 9 utuia, By STEVE WILLIAMS Most newspapermen (and particularly par-ticularly the colyumnists) dream of writing the "great american novel" and selling twelve million copies, with the book enshrined in the Library of Congress and finally fin-ally turning out to be a collectors' item that brings a fabulous price and makes the guy rich enough to tell the blankety-blank heartless managing editor what he can do with himself. Few do. Valentine did. Not even Valentine figures he'll get rich off sales of his "Here's My Heart," but the chubby boy from Salt Lake via the South Pacific, Pa-cific, San Francisco and Detroit has come up with f-f' a wmner m 'his &f first paper - back f ' literary effort (pa- ' . - I Per back at a buck I : v an( a half, cloth ""nfTt bound at three si- 5 V J moleons). f Dan's "Here's ' j "CT My Heart" is a col-.

Included are Dan's colyumns he wrote when his first son first I started school, and the masterpiece master-piece he typed out when his daughter daugh-ter was born. Both have been reprinted re-printed by colyumnists all over the nation and in eight or ten furrin countries. "Here's My Heart" is a book that every columnist should have (to steal from) and one which will undoubtedly be used by public pub-lic speakers more than Ray Kizer uses "Quote." VALENTINES: Most men don't amount to much until after they're married then it's too late! Take away a woman's charm, beauty, sleekness, perfect hairdo, hair-do, stylish clothes, and what have you got a housewife in the morning! Kissing Is just about the only V thing a man and woman can do without fighting. The only people in favor of high income taxes in America live in England. If people would stop tinkering tinker-ing with the world it might run better. A bachelor wears his heart on his sleeve a married man doesn't even have buttons on his! Nothing frustrates the average aver-age wife like having money left over from her husband's paycheck pay-check Some June graduates find Jobs as public relations experts. Lots of others don't amount to anything either! An economist is a fellow who doesn't have any money of his own, 'so he makes a living -telling you what to do with yours. And many, many more . . .

Milford depredators are depredating depre-dating again, City Cop Wally Fotheringham says. And it's tne autos that are suffering. Seems there's a wave of hubcap thieving, and Wally suggests that Milford (and Beaver County) mo torists mark their hubcaps in some manner a series of dots in a certain cer-tain spot or a scratch in a certain i place so they can identify them. "Then report to one of the city marshals as soon as a hub cap is missing, and the identifying mark, and we'll have the thieves dead to rights. Ail we need is someone to positively identify their hub caps."
