And such a distinguished gallery! None other than Mr. Jack
Benny, Mary Livingston, Phil Harris and some other notable from
Hollywood we have not yet Deen aom to -
... .hnrt unit tin. n heautiful solf swing.
The best information we could get was from one of the caddies
who said he was told she is a famous acnpi writer.
e
The Benny four-some followed ours, and at the Bth hole there
. , - : .. Haiin . fnr fh rrtalrh ahead nf us.
was a log jam, so we piwjucu a ..--.., :r,
and the Hollywood quartette was our gallery. They saw nothing
worth putting in their Sunday broadcast, but will say this: Only
... nr niinrtet hobbled his shot completely. The other three
did as well as usual which is pretty terrible, but their average,
t Mat (i,i. .niinrl like boasting, and a boost for Ye Editor's golf
lot ho .fated that his name is probably the worst brand of
golf played by anyone on the western hemisphere who has the
orthodox numDer oi nanas ana legs.
The day before in fact we the editorial we, played against
a one-legged man from Seattle, and the latter beat us by seven
strokes the record gtralght, however, the aforesaid editor
did win a championship once, it was ine iin-cup cnampiunoniij
of the Rogue Valley. Those partlcapants shooting under 100 had
to pay a dollar a point. That will give those who know golf some
idea of what the tournament was like and why the cup was tin.
(Those who don't know golf, of course, have skipped the above
portion of today's Installment anyway so no apologies are needed).
Before we forget it. that tin-cup title was not played before a
gallery, so the opening statement above still holds. In fact unless
we are mistaken we SOMEtimes are! we had to pay our caddies
a 25 Der cent bonus to complete the 18 holes! (The late Frank
Reum God bless him was our opponent).
e e e
Mary Livingston, by the way, Is not at all good looking, In
fact, rather on the plain side. But she has a MOST attractive
voice, and attractive way with her and again calling to mind that
golf is a very revealing game, we would wager a dozen nylon
stockings against a cheeseburger sandwich, that she Is a GRAND
person and J. Benny would never have reached the eminence he
has without her.
Phil Harris has the most wonderful smile and alluring curly
hair and a nicely tanned torso he takes off his shirt when he
gets behind the palm-trees. Bonny doesn't, so we know nothing
about his torso, and don't care to.
Perhaps we have been a bit hard on J. B.
We said he was a poor golf player and a POOR sport. Well,
he IS, and if anyone wishes evidence we can supply same.
But thousands of dub golfers are, and to be merely one, there
fore, Is no disgrace.
The point IS a good sport at golf or anything else,
DOESN'T squawk. Nor does he blame the condition of the course,
or the actions of others, or anything for his terrible score, but
himself.
Jack Benny Just isn't that type. Bob Hope Is and we Imagine
Phil Harris also. As for Mary Livingston we KNOW SHE is,
wager she keeps her chin up and her mouth shut REGARDLESS
of what happens!
But we will say this, unlike the tournament offering, this
Benny foursome that followed us, had a grand time. Harris kidded
Jack (and Harris plays a good game lncidently) and Jack kidded
Harris, and Mary and other gal kidded themselves and the men
folk. It was NO kidding, a very happy party!
Well, after the golf game, we went to the Plaza theatre for
the dedication of Palm Springs' new radio station and a broadcast
by one of our pet aversions, Frank Sinatra.
Again we will have to eat our words, unpalatable as they
always arel
At any rate Sinatra handled himself admirably, sang two or
three songs very well his voice Is clear and true, there were no
bobby-sockers about to stamp and shriek whenever he opened his
mouth and the entire performance (we refuse to include the Old
Gold publicity) was excellent.
Jack Benny was on this program, too. And whatever h mnv
be as a golfer we have to admit that he knows his onions as an
entertainer. Ho has a way with him (we still believe Mary, how
ever, is largely responsible.) He kids himself, has a broad, In
gratiating smile, and his gag-men are probably the best and the
highest paid. in the country. But it is the WAY these things are
put over that really make them or break them, and In this
field Benny simply has what it takes. We take the editorial
chapeau off to him In this department others supply the material
but he as tho saying goes, "sells" it. And the best material In
the world that isn't "sold," Just isn't worth the paper it Is written
on.
One incident In the dedication ceremony was amusing. This
show was for the benefit of the local American Legion, and there
was a crowded house. At one point a representative of the "Old
Gold" troupe, went through the audience to secure "testimonials"
regarding the evening's entertainment and Its significance. He
was naturally a very glib person and he had an eye for those In
the audience who were people of Importance or looked that way.
Yet he fulled throughout the evening to find, a single person who
was a resident of Palm Springs. each one ha contactor! urne Mr
or Mrs. X from Iowa, or Minnesota, or L. A. not a soul from the
community in which the new radio station was to operate.
"Here Is a very distinguished looking woman," the gentleman
would say, and as he presented the. microphone:
"What Is your name please and where are you from?" - i
"I am Mrs. Whatnlt from Springvllle, Mo."
"Thank you Mrs. Whatnlt, and are you here in Palm Springs
for some time?"
"I have been here three weeks and hope to stay a fourth."
"Well, what do you. think of Palm Springs having its own
radio station?"
"I think that's OK."
"Are you a radio fan?"
"Well, I came here for sunshine and am sure getting it." ,
"Thank you Mrs. Whatnlt. and now this dlstlnoiilhort.lr,nVin
gentleman, what Is your name please, and are you a resident of
Palm Springs?"
Can t say I am. but I like the nleea. A lnt nf im. in v.-
mont this year and we were lucky enough to have a daughter out
urio miiu au wen, nere we are!
"Thank you sir, what is your opinion of Palm Springs hav
ing Its own radio station? have vou had rllfflr-nitu h.r.infn
getting your programs over the air?"
l never listen to the radio mvself. but tha tif. Hn. sv,.
says It's better here than It was last year, not so much static."
u..7Ah-p",lyou lr, nd now ,hil distinguished looking woman,
"-WHAT-"
Well, It went on that way throughout the oroiram at least
this feature of It. The poor devil was searching that audience for
a resident of the community In which the new station was to be
established and was unable to find even ONE!
That IS Palm Springs at the height of the tourist season!

. THE DOCTOR MUST DO AS THE PUBLIC LIKES
In the- first five years of pri
vate practice I endeavored to do
as the public liked. In the en
virons of Penn
Yan (not that
there are no
o t h er beauti
ful spots in the
famous Finger
Lake region of
the Empire
State, but a lot
of people still
profess to
scout the very
exist ence of
Penn Yan), In
that part of the
Dr. BraHy
country at that time the public
showed a decided preference for
doctors who
(a) never failed to Instruct the
nurse or family to see that
the patient kept "well un
der the,covers",
(b) brought out his thermom
eter and stuck it in the pa
tient's mouth, under the
arm or somewhere, while
he dawdled about warming
his hands and exchanging
more or less appropriate
anecdotes with the bystanders.
(c) laid out o dozen calomel
tablets and fixed a half
tumblerful of liquid medi
cine the wee mite of cal-
'omel to be given every
hour, for a doses doses,
with some salts as a chaser,
and the liquid to be given
every alternate hour the
entire program to keep the
nurse out of mischief, and
(d) recited carefully as though
it were of vital importance
the precise details of pre
paring (1) clam broth if
nausea was a symptom, (2)
beef broth of the patient
seemed pretty weak or (3)
chicken jelly if the nurse
was too familiar with the
other things.
But after five years of play
acting I first got wind of an
Irishman named G. B. Shaw
who told a convention of doc
tors in England that the family
doctor dared not tell the truth
lest his patients change doctors.
Is that so?, I asked myself. I'm
not only going to tell 'em the
truth, I'm going to treat 'em as
I would be treated. . . .
So I uniformly Instructed the
nurse or the family that It was
all right if the patient wanted to
sit up or move about or throw
off the covers or otherwise have
things comfortable.
I never used a thermometer
unless the look and feel of the
patient failed to show whether
there was any fever.
I junked all my varied stocks
of calomel tablets in assorted
colors, flavors and sizes.
I began telling patients or
their families I didn't know as
yet Just what ailed the patient
even when patients and families
themselves knew It was a heavy
cold with a threat of qneumonla.
I confessed I knew of no way
to "break up" pneumonia, if it
was pneumonia.
I advised mother to give the
feverish child all the cold water
the child wanted, whether the
child wa. developing measles or
not. ;
You wi.l be pleased to know
that Shaw .vas right. We nearly
starved to Jeath.

Answer Well, on sober second

I'd say it is not too old to try. If
you can still roll somersaults and
come up amiling and not all fluster

are atlll young enough to bear chil

first child twenty years ago. I fear
the chances of concepUon occurring
now are remote.
