Betrayed by a
DinO (Continued)
If I hadn't been chosen "Orange Bowl Queen"
and invited to the University's celebration at the
club, chances are we'd never have met. Few of the
boys I dated could afford the Beachcomber.
Frankly, I fell for Dean the instant he intro
duced himself. Six-feet tall, black-haired, brown
eyed, and well-built, he was just .about the hand
somest, most sophisticated man I've ever met. And
how he knew. the right things to say! I couldn't
have been- more impressed. And my parents"
couldn't have been more upset when we started to
date. Dean just wasn't the kind of person respectable
middle-class parents wanted as a son-in-law.
All the traits I liked in him worried them. He
was too old for me, they said. Too sophisticated.
He was in show business. He couldn't possibly be
serious about a girl like me. And when they found
out he was married, though -separated, and the
father of four children, the bottom fell out!
Dean played it smart. He divided his attention
between my mother and me, knowing that once he
had her on his side, his problem was licked. In the
end, Mom fell for his charm just as I did. Dad held
out a little longer, but not much.
The moment Dean left for the West Coast where
he and Jerry had been signed to a long-term con
tract by Hal Wallis, my family and friends prophe
sied I'd seen the last of him. I wasn't so sure they
were wrong. In spite of his daily calls, I spent an
uneasy six weeks till he sent for me in early Feb
ruary. Mom came along to make sure his inten
tions remained honorable! ,

At 1949 wedding Dean gets best wishes
of night-club owner Herman Hover.
("And they lived happily ever after"
did not apply to the Dean Martins. A
honeymoon with Jerry Lewis along
was just the beginning. Financial
troubles and personality problems
some funny, some not complicated
life in Hollywood and led to separation.

A talk with a friend
CUD-TORE?
Why we've even got it in our ketchup!
One of the most widely misunderstood
words in America is the word "culture."
A great number of people think of culture
as something relating to symphony orches
tras, art galleries, the artistic output of a
nation or of refined people with highly cul
tivated manners, taste and thought.
But the culture of a country is actually the
way in which a country lives. If a nation is a
nation of headhunters, then its particular cul
tural activity is hunting heads.
With so many people traveling back and
forth to Europe, we often hear that Europe
is "cultural" and America "has no culture."
What they really mean is that Europe, hav
ing so many more centuries to allow its more
lasting rand more beautiful customs and
works of genuine merit to emerge and be
come widely familiar, just has a head start
on this younger nation.
It would be hard to say that this nation
has no culture a nation so rich in the tradi
tions of its early struggles for survival, so
rambunctious with its tales of the winning
of the West, so ringing with the tunes of the
old banjos and the modern jazz artists, so
enduringly expressed on the canvases of.
Audubon and the cowboy artist Frederic
Remington, so quick to see the humor in any
situation, so eager for the fun of Mark Twain
and the emotion of Carl Sandburg.
To the man who questions the culture of
America, let me invite him to sit in a box
seat and watch Stan MusiaMash a grand-slam
home run, or to stroll quietly in front of the
magnificent Lincoln Memorial in Washington
and look up at that man who "belongs to the
ages." Lincoln's success is testimony to the
greatest cultural achievement: a form of
government where a gangling, rawboned man
can fight his way from backwoods cabin to
the highest position in the land.
To the world traveler who raves of the
kitchen artistry of other lands, let me invite
him to step into a farm kitchen in the Penn
sylvania Dutch country, pick up the old
wooden spoon and taste the homemade
ketchup simmering in the big pot on the back
of the stove. An impartial jury of wise (and
hungry) men would be hard put to .point to
any finer artistic achievement than that!
