Where are such kids from the past as Bobby Jones, Francis Ouimet, Chick Evans, Gene Sarazen. Walter Hagen, John-nGoodman, Bob Gardner? In the recent P.G.A. the last 16 left averaged around 36 years of age. Cary Mlddlecoff and Jack Burke are about the only new names that have sprung np lately. The P.G.A. wants no youth in its tournament which fremajor quently leads to such results as y ap-paren- we had old-time- rs at Columbus with two left. It was nice to see two instructors fighting out the last round with the tournament stars beaten out but someone in golf should start encouraging a few young fellows. On the amateur side, they turn pro when they can make part of a living at the game. Golf has always had one major trouble. It is too expensive for too many people. The price of golf balls has risen. The price of clubs is up. Caddies cost you $2 or more a round now against 75 cents and a dollar a few years back. There are few caddies from the younger crop watching crack veterans play as Sarazen, Hagen and others did.

There was terror In her tone. He turned quickly. She was looking away from him toward the horizon where the dull glow had been. The dull glow he had thought to be town lights had developed into astonishing brilliance. Fire! The whole ridge is ablaze. Say, wed better get going! He jammed his foot down on the starter. The motor whirred, and that was all. Bill swore, yanking out the choke. There was a sputtering whine, a cough, silence. Bill opened the roadster's door. "Come onl Engines dead. Well have to run for it He yanked her out of the car, started running along the wagon road, dragging her behind him. He hadnt realized that fire could be like this. The speed of its approach amazed him. "Bill! Wait! Youre going too fast. Bill turned Just as she fell forward. He knelt beside her. 'Try and get up. Weve got to keep going. Its our only chance. Pitifully she tried, sank to the ground, moaning softly. He stooped and lifted her in his arms. . "Bill, dont! You cantl Go on and leave me. Theres no use in both of us He went on blindly. Behind him now he could hear the crackle of flames. The road ahead was alight from the brilliance of the fire. It required no effort to move. Then suddenly, ahead, he saw the main highway. There were lights there. The lights from automobiles and trucks. Bill lay sprawled in the back seat of a joggling touring car. He opened his eyes and saw Annette. Behind her the sky was dull red. "Bill, why did you do it? Why didnt you leave me there when when you knew He said: "Say, what do you take me for? Leave behind the girl I love! "Oh, Bill, Ive known for a month beyou didnt.

Patterson LITTLE KOREA, hermit kingdom days, has ben for the Balkans of the far many years east, breeding place of war. It is a small nation, but one that has been looked upon with covetous eyes first by the Manchus, later by China, the Russian czars, Japan (to whom it fell a prey during Japariese-Chinese-war- ), and now by the Com- munists. The little nation Is now divided. Following the close of World War II, North Korea hat been under the tutelage of Run-aland South Korea nominally under the protection of the United Nations, with the United State ai a recognized police force. Since Korea has no armed forces that are adequate of its own, the U.S. troops are In South Korea at the request of the United Nations to repulse what is considered the aggression of the North Korean Communists. Nominally we are but serving as policemen. Actually we expect the fighting to prove the beginning of the long awaited third world war with the next move to be expected in Europe or the middle east Russia refused the U.N. request that Red troops be withdrawn from South Korea. Participating with oa In the Korean squabble are England, France, Nationalist China, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. They too have responded to the request of the United Nations. With the organization of the South Korean government, we withdrew all United States troops with the ex ception of a commission of a few hundred officers who remained as Instructors for the South Korean armed forces. But while Russia made much ado about withdrawing all troops, she did not recall the Red army from North Korea. The South Korean army had not been made into a cohesive force. It had nothing more than small arms no tanks, no heavily fortified lines, no heavy artillery. The North Korean Reds found the troops of the south an a, . easy prey for the tanks and the artillery with which they were equipped. The Reds found the South Koreans easy until General MaeArthur prey men and munitions across the Korean straits from could get Japan. C 0 P n The conflict did not come as another Pearl Harbor, and for the first 0 m few days it was hard to determine whether It was but a little border r1 row, or the opening of that dreaded third world conflict. At the end of a week it could still have been either, but In Washington It was 8 generally looked upon as a third e world war. The third world war and all d It might portend caused a quick y reversal In our foreign policy. We again took the Chinese Nationalists Into our affections by proclaiming the protection of Formosa as essential to our Interests. We quit flirting with the Chinese Communist government For ns It wss a direct about face In far eastern diplomacy. Korea served to stop the partisan wrangling in congress. Leaders of both parties, Including the southern democrats, lined up behind the president and approved his actions and his statements. That spirit of unity was demonstrated by the unanimous passage of the draft law extension for another year. It portends the passage of far more drastic legislation that must come when we know definitely that we are facing the struggle between a free and a totalitarian government for the peoples of the world. That bill ls reported as ready for Introduction in both houses. Its passage will mean drafting all the man power of the nation, both for labor and for the armed forces. It will take over industry. It will prevent both exhorbitant prices and exhorbltant wages. It will provide for a price for farm products, but It will be a peacetime, not a wartime, price. There is no Intention to permit the repetition of conditions of World War II, a race between wages and prices, for either food or munitions. - Rlaa4 bj WNU Faataraa |
