Gome Commissioner Eats
Juniper if He Loses Bet
Deadwood, S.D. OP) A big
game bioligist offers to settle
an argument by eating juniper
if he loses.
Les Berner of the state's game
commission contended that deer
do more damage to juniper
bushes than rodents. Members
of 'the Black Hills Rod and Gun
clulj disagreed.
Berner proposed the argu
ment be settled by fencing off
some deer-nibbled juniper bush
es. He promised to eat the jun
iper if it hasn't improved within
two years.
The first paper mill in. the
United States to make ground
wood pulp for absorbent pa
pers was built in Stockbridge,
Mass., in 1866.

Sinatra Remembers Break on Hope Show
F-st Hartford, Conn. (W
Nicholas Konon, a grafting ex
pert who grows plums on peach
trees, is trying the same trick
with maples. He said, "The
books say it can't be done but
who knows maybe I'll wind up
with plums flavored with maple
syrup." . '
BY VERNON SCOTT
United Press Hollywood Writer
Hollywood IW Frank Sin
atra, sitting atop the entertain
ment world, hasn't forgotten the
lean years of the late 40's when
he had trouble getting jobs.
The thin crooner isn't bitter
about the brushoffs and double
talk that kept him from work
ing. But he does remember one
guy. Fella named Bob Hope who
started Frank on the long road
back.
"I couldn't get a job until Bob
came along with his first televi
s i o n spectacular." the singer
j said.
"That was in 1950, and there
weren't 'many people around like
Hope. But then I wasn't expect
ing to find them. If people were
frightened of me I couldn't
blame 'em.'
"There were a lot of guys who
helped scuttle the ship. But
there's no bitterness. I figure
they have enough problems of
their own."
More Than Bit
Sinatra recalled that his stint
on Hope's initial video splash
was more than the guest-shot
song bit.
"He and his writers wrote the
entire show around me," he
said.
"I didn't get a lot of money,
but the show was great. And it
was a tremendous psychological
help to me. Bob wanted me for
the show because he thought I
was right for it not because he
felt sorry for me."
Sinatra shrugs off the Damon
and Pythias routine.
The crooner admitted that if
Hope had asked him to appear
on the program out of sympathy
he would have turned it down.
Frank returns the favor Oct.
18 when the ski-nosed comedian
guests on Sinatra's new ABC-TV
show. Sinatra, who hides his
warmth and sentimentality be
neath a polished Indifference,
says Hope's appearance has no
thing to do with the helping
hand Bob proferred seven years
ago.
Hop Best Man
"He's simply the best man for
the show," Frank said. "Peggy
Lee and Kim Novak will be on
the show, too. He'll 'keep them
from being nervous and the rest
of us can bounce off his humor."
Frank will film 36 half-hour
programs 13 musicals, 13
dramas and act as host on 10
others. Two addition shows, the
Oct. 18 debut and another on
St. Valentine's Day, will be
hour-long jamborees.
As if his TV commitments
weren't enough this year, Sin
atra will record another new
long-play album; star in a movie,
"Kings Go Forth," and fill a
singing date at the Sands Hotel
in Las Vegas.
Unruffled and easy going,
Frank takes the back-breaking
schedule in stride, eating on the
run, grabbing cat naps and keep
ing close tabs on all his activi
ties. -
"If I get panicky about this
schedule we're all dead,"-he con
cluded wryly.
The novel has flourished In
America since the growth of
the lending library and the
emancipation of women accord
ing to a study recently pub
lished by the University of Cali
fornia Press.
