He Used fo Raise Catfle

By DON H. HK10INS

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -J.
.Selby Young is a sturdy, brown
eyed man of SO years with stubby
fingers tliat look strong. He oper
ates a human ranch. It used to be
a cattle ranch. He was born and
grew up here and makes a lot of
money.
" Selby looked up In mild surprise
when: I interrupted our interview
on his favorite subject with this
abrupt question:
"Are those your own teeth?"
" He seemed a little uncomfort
able,' but he has a lot of poise
and he said yes they were his own
teeth.
"How many fillings do you
have?" I inquired
: Selby said a little impatiently he
had one filling, his teeth were
sound, he could crack nuts with
them and did I want him to show
me?
- ' Never Hurt Him
'. "No," I explained. "The reason
;i asked was that I knew you grew
up drinking fluoridated water and
I wondered if it ever hurt you any
fend if it helped in making strong
teeth."
' "It did," said Selby Young, "and
'It npvpp hurt me anv."
So we resumed his favorite sub
ject of busy, prosperous Colorado
Springs, the city that started out
by selling mountain air and just
about nothing else.
- Selby Young is one of the big
wheels of this metropolis which
now boasts about 61,000 residents
nnrt 'minnph outside the nerimeter
to make 100,000. It expects 135,000
by 1960.

to prove off here 1,200 miles from

picking up local items like I'm
supposed to be doing instead of
writing about some tycoon in Colo

of money running a human ranch?
It's like this: I'm on vacation.

colonel is a lieutenant colonel and
is written "Lt. Colonel" and yoll
can't pronounce "Lt.," and "lieu

call them "light" colonels. Easy
does it.)
Robert W. Chandler, as editor

this visit. Then, thinking as presi
