Show THE DRAGERTON TRIBUNE, DRAGERTON, UTAH Tuesday, August 12, 1947 PAGE THREE Gay Kitten Designs For Kitchen Towels ALL ON A STRING Magic Lasso Enables Children To Realize Cherished Dreams WNU Features. Their success formula was the development of a magic lasso, which anyone can quickly learn to safe in the spin, yet which is hands of children. Merely a piece of sisal rope, it is fitted with a tiny imbedded swivel to permit of the loop The swivel also serves as a protective link should kiddies decide to do some fancy steer roping on playmates. Children, of course, represent the bulk of potential customers. But even Hollywood studios have found the new gadget effective, using it as a standard prop in movie making. Broadway shows, where rope tricks must be more skillfully performed, find the magic lasso an efficient aid. Partners in the unique business are David Knox and Horace Reese, both of Philadelphia. Childhood friends, both served in the armed forces, Knox in the army and Reese in the navy. Whenever personal plans for the postwar period were being discussed, the two old friends agreed that their major objective was to be in business for themselves. Upon their discharge from the services, the two tooled their resources to found the business devoted to manufacture of the novel lasso. Starting on a small scale, without benefit of a veteran's loan, the two have seen their business grow to an organization employing as many as 14 people with an annual production approaching the half million mark Lately, a second rope development e has been introduced by the a unique jumpcombination ing rope that is adjustable so one or five can skip to their hearts content, without ruining the family clothesline. hand-finishe- American Flowers Bloom in Profusion In Pacific Far-of- f American flowers are blooming in around profusion this summer army and marine corps hospitals in the far-of- f Pacific area. Convalescent servicemen, finding their way back to health in these hospitals, all the way from the Philippines to Japan are the gardeners. The flower seeds, and vegetable seeds too, are supplied by Daughters of the American Revolution. Tiny packets of seeds have been distributed through war department cooperation to the various Pacific areas. This year, 6,734 packages of seeds have been sent to the hospitals. The grand total since the project was originated is more than 50,000 packets of seeds. The seeds are given to the convalescent men and are planted in the hospital adjoining gardens building. The patients have their choice of seeds and thus can grow the varieties of flowers and vegetables which might be found in their own yard back home. Started during the war. the project has been continued by D A.R. because of the many requests from hospitals overseas. In many hospitals there is keen rivalry among the men in growing the flowers and vegetables. Medical officers reported that the war gardens have greatly aided patients in their recovery to health.

Their unique business enterprise, spawned by wartime dreams, has harnessed the childhood ambition of being able to do real cowboy rope spinning tricks, which from time immemorial have intrigued youngsters at the movies, circuses, fairs and rodeos.

Youth Gives Germans Novel I Farming Lesson Deep In the heart of occupied Germany a thriving sample of Indiana agriculture provides a novel lesson m American farming methods for people of the country. A Midwest home demonstration agent and a G I. youth on occupation duty pooled their efforts and ideas to show nearly 1Q0 German youths how to be good farmers while augmenting their meager diet by using vegetables grown by themselves. Pfc. Birch Bayh Jr. of Vigo county, Indiana, is the American soldier and Miss Mildred Schlosser is the home demonstration agent who are responsible for the project. Hoosier farmer, Bayh, qualifies as an able instructor by virtue of his past record. Two years ago, as a contestant in the annual production - marketing contest ol National Junior Vegetable Growers association, Bayh was tilling a seven-acr- e plot on his grandfather's farm, where he raised crops worth more than $1,677. The crops were so good, Bayh sent a special batch to his father, Lt. Col. Birch BJyfi of the U. S. army, then stationed in China. In the national contest, Bayhs efficient operation rated so high he won the Midwest regional NJVGA title and a $200 scholarship from the $6,000 in contesj awards provided annually by A & P food stores. Using this fund to augment his 'savings, Bayh entered Purdue university where bis studies were interrupted by a call to army duty. Later he was assigned to the German occupation forces. Impressed by the soil near his station m that country, and encouraged by seeds sent as a gift to him by Miss Schlosser, home demonstration agent and NJVGA advisor of his Indiana club, Bayh quickly recruited nearly 100 youngsters in his area and started a garden project. He divided his land into 45 individual plots with two children assigned to each. The young growers were given a series of lessons in American methods, tilling, planting and weeding. The results of their efforts are already evident, with a bumper crop of tomatoes and corn well on its way to maturity. Most of these products are new to the but they indicate that youths,' theyll eat them with pleasure. - d LED . . . Dr. Percy C.

But, outside of Tony Zale, Graziano still has LaMotta and Cerdan left, and one or two others. He happens to be hi the fistic land Bowing with milk and honey. And, 1 believe, he has earned his place to make one of the big killings of his game. He proved both his ability and his gameness against Zale. He had to hurdle the handicap of their first fight, where he was accused of taking a quick powder. He was being beaten again when he came from behind to win. He had to show double courage here. Hans Wagner's Successor In lining up baseballs stars, you run across one spot that has only one guardsman. Back of the bat you have Mickey Cochrane, Bill Dickey, Gabby Hartnett, Johnny Kling and back in the dim past a great catcher remembered as Buck Ewing, a master. In the box we have Cy Young, Walter Johnson, Christy Mathew-soOld Pete Alexander, Carl Hub-bel- l, Rube Waddell, Lefty Grove and others. At first we have George Sisler, Loo Gehrig, Hal Chase and BUI Terry. At second there are Eddie Collins, Pie Traynor, Art Devlin and BiU Bradley. In the outfield we have Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Trls Speaker, Joe Jack-so- n and Joe DIMaggio. But et shortstop we come to a big, shuffling, bowlegged wonder by the name of Honus Wagner. Wagner has been so far In front of all other shortstops as an star fielder, hitter and base runner that no one else has been offered In comparison. Such names as Herman Long, Hughey Jennings, Travis Jackson, Dave Bancroft and Marty Marion have been given their share of acclaim. But none of these has been even close to Wagner. The Flying Dutchman led his lesgne seven years. He was s .350 hitter. He could steal from 15 to 55 bases s season. According to John McGrow and Ed Barrow, two of basebaUs smartest, Hans Is the greatest ballplayer of aU time. 5383 tea towels GAYLY embroidered for each day of the week tif, ; Jr - 4 with a cute little kitten mo- To obtain T transfer of the Kitten Tee Towel Designs (Pattern No. 5383) Color chart for embroidering, send 20 cents In coin, your name, address and pattern number.

The SOth congress of the United States ended Its history snaking first session after the senate, for the first time in memory of Capitol Hill oldsters, worked on Into the wee hoars of a Sunday morning to dispose of necessary business. Weary, but apparently happy, a group oCsenators descends capitol steps after close of the session. Csngress is scheduled to reconvene on January 2, when more hot fights are expected. Who Comes Second? As both put it, Wagner was a great shortstop a great third baseman a star outfielder a good catcher one of the greatest of all hitters and base runners. Wagner still stands alone at short. But who Is the second choice? Who belongs closer to Pittsburghs brilliant star? Our guess is Lou Boudreau of Cleveland. Boudreau has bad to carry the extra burden of handling a losing baU club. In this respect, he has done everything you could ask with indifferent material. Year after year, he has been a brilliant Infielder. And this season be has been among the leaders of the American league at bat For some odd reason, outside of Wagner, few shortstops are .300 bitters. Bdqdreau isnt Wagner, but he 'll at least close to a grip on the No. 2 spot, at the agile art of shortstopping. He was born in 1917, and entered baseball In 1938, with the Three Eye League, after two seasona It the U. of Illinois. Before the year was up, Cleveland grabbed ,him. He has been hitting around .335.
