Hal Boyl Fills The Summer
Dearth Of Humorous Stories
By HAL BOYLE
NEW YORK. UP) Notebook
Manhattan li the capital city of
people who taut 10 memseives . . .
they walk along gabbing out loud
at a great rate . . . many appear
to be out of their minds, but no one
bothers them . . . what happens to
them? Where do they go? ...
Passed one on crowded Sixth
avenue the other day ... he was
muttering this message over and
over:
"Get ready, sheep, get ready.
You won't be here long."
M summer dearth in good
stories has set in. But with t bow
to whomever it belongs to, I'd like
to pass along the cutest one I've
heard all season:
At a children's party one daring
youngster suggested. "Let's play
postoffice." The blushing boys and
tittering girls all agreed It was a
great idea.
The first pair to start the game
were shy.- So they went into a
closet. The rest of the children
fathered outside the door. They
istened and listened but couldn't
hear a sound. After about IS
m' lutes one child rapped on the
dorr and said:
"What are you doing In there?"
And from inside the closet a
muffled small voice shrilled des
perately: "We aren't doing anything. Our
, braces are hooked I"
Friend of mine has a son in
nursery school. When his parents
set out recently to attend an eve
ning meeting with teachers, he
wanted to know why.
"Oh, to learn how to raise you
betL-r," he was told,
"Well," said the boy, "try to
find out why I'm so afraid of
thunder and lightning, will you?"
How-the-language-grows note: A
movie producer giving his views
to a luncheon group: "I'm just
thinking out loud mentally." . . .
But my favorite is this mysterious
remark overheard in a beauty
shop: "So I told him, 'Listen, wise
guy, take your diamond ring out
of my new tencent hair net. '
. Martini-lovers tend to want their
drinks dryer and dryer. And bar
tenders sometimes get weary of
being told, "Make mine like the
Sahara."
"Why don't you just have a
thrtwaway martini?" one barman
finally asked one of these high
voltage customers.
"What's a throwaway martini?"
The barman poured some ver
mouth in a glass, swished it
around, then emptied It down the
drain. Then he filled the glass with
pure gin and set it before the cus
tomer with query, "dry enough?"
A number of Broadway- charac
ters were having one of those
heavy intellectual discussions that
start in night clubs after midnight.
The subject: How to deal with the
tierman problem?

The argument grew bitter. Some
thought the American policy was
too soft. Some saw it as realistic.
One pointed at a U. S. airman
standing at the bar and said, "Let's
get his opinion."

Northwest Needs
Told Democratic
Natl. Chairman
THE DALLES. June 27 -tPi
Northwest business, farm and la
bui leaders give William Boyit
Jr., chairman of the Democratic
national committee, their recipes
for development of the Pacific
Nortnwest nere.
Boyle promised to take them dir
ectly to presmenr, Truman wnen
he gets back to the nation cap
ital tomorrow.
The conference, unique in that
most of those attending were Re
publicans, was called to let the
national administration know what
the people of Oregon think should
be done to develop the area's re
sources. Most called for construction of
more multi-ournose dams to aid
irrigation and navigation.
But Chester Dusten, regional dir
ector of the CIO warned that fish
ing and lumbering, industries
which employ thousands of work
ers in the. area, must not be for
gotten. He said there is an im
mediate need for more reforest
ation and development of access
roads.
Charles Baker. Walls Walla, pre
sident of the Inland Empire Water
ways association, backed the am
construction program on the Snake
and Columbia rivers.
More Pewar Needed
'Franklin D. Roosevelt's fore
sight in building Bonneville was
the key that unlocked our greatest
resources," he said, "but it is not
enough; we still nave a power
shortage.
Dams are not uneconomic, w. s.
Nelson, secretary of The Dalles
chamber of commerce, told Boyle
and Mrs. India Edwards, vice
chairman of the democratic com
mittee.
"You should tell the people in
the east that 84 percent of the
cost is repaid by the s a 1 e of
power," he said.
Earlier Boyle expressed regret
that Oregon does not have an In
telligent hard-working Democratic
delegation in Congress."
To develop Boyle said, the re
gion needs people who can "look
far her han their noses."
Ancient census takers often esti
mated population of a given area
by the amount of salt consumed
there in a specific period, says the
book or Knowledge.

Quotas On Wheat
For 1951 Crop
WASHINGTON, June 27.-OB-
Secretary of Agriculture Brannan
announced Monday that farmers
will be allowed to grow next year's
wheat crop free of rigid market
ing quotas.
This action was foreshadowed
two weeks ago when the federal
crop reporting board forecast this
year's crop at about one-fifth
smaller than last year's.
Quotas must be proposed by the
secretary when supplies reach a
legally-defined "surplus level
Growers must comply with quotas
when they are in effect or pay
stiff penalties.
Brannan said- that present sup
plies, while large, are not quite
big enough to warrant marketing
controls. Quotas would have to be
approved by at least two-thirds of
the growers voting in a national
referendum.
Quotas were last applied to
wheat in 1942. They are in effect
this year on cotton, major types
of tobacco and peanuts.
Acreage planting allotments will
bo assigned wheat growers later,
and possibly will call for a smaller
acreage than was seeded for this
year's crop.
Growers may abide by or Ig
nore planting allotments, but only
those who comply are eligible for
government price supports.
Brannan estimated the total
wheat supply at 1,395,000,000 bush
els. He sail it was 18 per cent
above the "normal" supply or two
per cent below the marketing
quota level. (
