PENNY'S "SHOES" !RTOT
'EM BACK TO SCHOOL!
-T mm ... " "
THE ARMY'S WORKHORSE The Army's powerful new
helicopter, the Sikorsky H-34, capable of carrying 3000
ponnds or 12 fully equipped soldiers, picks op and
carries to safety an 1,19 airplane disabled by "enemy"
fire during mock battle near San Marcos, Texas. This
will be one of the highlights during the National Aircraft
mow at Oklahoma Cay's Will Rogers Field Sept 1-3.
On The Side
(Distributed by King
The "Taming Of The Shrew"
ia reported' playing to capacity
at the Shakespearean Festival
at Stratford, Conn. The comedy
on wife training probably holds
the all-time box office record
of all of the Bard's plays. It
practically never fails to score.
It wag a smash hit when Ada
Rehan and Otis Skinner played
It. Also when Sothern and
Marlowe did it, It served as an
outstanding vehicle for Lynn
Fontanne and Alfred Lunt.
Basil Sidney and Mary Ellis
did it in modern dress with ex
cellent results. Then there was
the musical version titled "Kiss
Me Kate" with Alfred Drake
and Patricia Morison. It is in
teresting to note that in "Kiss
Me Kate," the orjginal story was
closely followed. Not only that,
Cole Porter used many of the
original Shakespearean lines as
'lyrics.
Asking
Queries from clients. Q.
What were plasterers paid in
New York City 30 years ago?
A. In 1926 plasterers were paid
$14 a day. Keep in mind that
at that time the dollar had three
times as much purchasing power
as it has today. Q. What is a
"Dogie?" A. According to the ac
cepted cowboy definition, "A
Dogie is a little calf that has
lost its paw and maw." That is,
an orphan. Q. Who wrote the
song titled "Rose Room?" A.
Art Hickman. Q. Where ia the
restaurant called Charlie's cafe
exceptional. A. Minneapolis.
Among Tha Married
Are you by any chance await
ing the arrival of your first
baby? Have you a diploma from
a school for expectant papas?
Has your wife taken a course
in infant care and assembled a
library of books on the subject?
Does she know how long it takes
to properly care for a baby? Ac
cording to an extensive check,
it takes a mother five hours and
41 minutes daily to care for a
baby as a full time task. And
a part time task the rest of the
day. Of course, if you are a
properly trained papa you can
spell your wife occasionally.

Passing By
Aiden Roark, erstwhile Polo
star. Now a race track official.
His wife is Helen Wills who,
during her period in the sport
ing spotiignt. was known as
"Little Poker Face" . . . .Richard
Rogers. Veteran composer of
very popular music. Was an in
fant prodigy. Played the piano
when four years old. Wrote his
first song titled "My Auto Show
Girl" when 14. At 17 attracted
attention with a dittv called
"Any Old Place With You."
Sidelights
The shortage of comnptent
secretaries in New York is now
so acute that the a limit i
being disregarded. Executives
are expressing willingness to
engage secretaries up to the age
of 45. . . Only girl named
tartha I know is Eartha Kitt.
Her parents were cotton farm
ers. Year she wag born the crop
was good. So her folks named
her Eartha in honor of the good
earth.
Models
What measurements must a
young woman have to qualify as
a dress model in Manhattan?
That is a query frequently ask
ed. Said measurements vary.
For example, I note that one
establishment seeks a model who
is 5 feet 8V4 inches in heels.
Other measurements desired by
this firm are, 33-22-33. Another
outfit, a world famous firm,
seeks models who are 5 feet 9V4
inches in heels. Then there is
another seeking models who are
5 feet 5'4 inches in stocking
feet with measurements of
36-25-35.
Customers
Ever read the book titled
"Four Hundred Million Custom
ers" by Carl Crow? Dealt with
sales methods adapted to sell
ing the 400 million people of
China. Very interesting. Was
written years ago. The popula
tion of China is now 602 million.
It is the fastest growing country
in the world. It is expected by
1980 that the population of
China will be 1,000 million.
That's a lot of customers and
Soviet Russia hopes to monop
lize that business.
