Kansas Man Proves To Be

COLUMBUS. Ksi . May 30 OPi
Ed Koula is all wound up In his
hobby.
His hobby Is collecting string.
Thai hobby la more complex than
the average la (payer has any Idea.
You may never have heard of Ed.
But how many people heard of Jack
Uemey before he signed to fight
Jeas Wlllard? Thai Is exactly the
position Fouls finds himself In to
daythe dawn tierlnd between being
comparatively unknown chal
lenger and the world-hailed champ.
Connoisseurs of string collecting
already know that Ed Is within
inking distance of becoming a his
toric figure In this neglected art,
one of the slow timeless characters
who become silent milestones by
which subsequent devotees measure
their own Inching progress.
To put It bluntly, Kd began col
lecting string on December 13,
1141 a few day. after Pearl Har
borand now has 178 miles of It.
carefully lied together In a perfectly
round ball standing four feet six
Inches high after 3113 hours of me
thodical knotting.
There arc scores of people In the
United States who collect string on
a serious basin, and muny more who
do It Intermittently as a lit! tit pas
time, Ed knows iiersonally of 30 se
rious collectors, writes to 15 of them
lo compare progress.
He is outstanding himself aside
from the tremendous size of his ball
of string for two reasons. In his
own words:
"I never paid a cent for the twine
T have uvd. and I am tlie only one
that uses the same weight twine all
the way through."
Ed Is a family man with two chil
dren and he has helped two other
children gel ahead In the world. He
runs his own filling station on the
edge of town, and he Is proud of tlie
fact he had never been late or
missed a day's work In 33 years.
He Is a small, gray-haired energetic
man of 66.
"I started collecting string because
I read a newxpaper article Just be
fore the war that a hobby would
help you forget your worries and
live longer," he said. "Believe me. It
does. I get more fun out of seeing
the eyes bug out on strangers when
they come Into my tilling station
and see this ball of string."
It Is something to come upon un
expectedly. It weighs 338 pounds

"One fellow has a 540-pound ball

all the same color, too. Thai's an
other thing some ones overlooked.
But I want to win the all-time twine
collecting record hands down."
I think he's afraid that the man
who has the 540-pound ball will read
this story and speed up his collect
ing. After all, that fellow doesn't
stick to 16-gauge twine.
Ed collects pieces of string about
four feet long. I asked him how
many knots he had tied. That both
ered him. String collectors like to
know every statistic about their
hobby.
"Nobody ever saw me tie a knot."
he said. "I don't sleep much, and
I do It every morning between four
and five o'clock.
