I I Colder Winter* Ahead Cooler weather with old-fashioned ? vinters like grandpop used to know ire returning, the United States Weather bureau says. Weather rends come in 90-year cycles, it ?rplaina, and for the past half cen :ury we have been moving away torn the winters in which folks had ' jo dig through the snowdrifts to lo :ate clothespoles. ? Now will come a slow move back a the days when grandpop often valked into the second story of the >ld farm right from the snow level. ? "And a good thing It will be to ougben np the eitixenry," declared Elmer Twttehell today. "We've >een getting soft In sissy-like Win ers when the folks thought a bill iard was any snowfall that kept a lmouslne down to M miles an hoar n open country. 'Billiard Sweeps Sty' has been the routine headline every time a snowdrift got half ray np a milk bottle on the wind rard porch. ? "What's become of the old fash ioned fellow who had three fingers nissing from the deep freezes? Where's the native once common 10 every community who got around in a wooden leg most of his life iecause of exposure in an icepack in his own back yard^ Where are the countless folks who went around ill their lives with tender ears and loses because of frostbite in their early davs? ' 1 "When I was a boy," he contin ued, "you had to face the house southward or you'd get tour or Ave loads of snow in the bedroom right through a door crack. It was noth ing to hare a Are freese up over night. Once every winter they had to get a snowplow to dig me out of bed . . . and I slept in the attie! ? "Big cities get out super-plows to Bght a snowstorm that old-timers would tackle with a whiskbroom, and without bothering to put on any thing but a pair of pants and an open shirt. ? "Let the old-fashioned winters come back for the good of the race I" he concluded. "There will be less squawkin' about minor in conveniences." ? ? ? Feltman's famous restaurant at Coney Island, in existence for 72 years and known to millions, is changing hands. We link the old place up with our first visit to the big city. How it dazzled us with its city-block dimensions, its dozen separate restaurants and its several bars. And how we thought we were splurging when we went there for ? full course dinner for $1.25! With beer 5 cents a schooner! And cocktails two for a quarter! ? ? ? DIETING A PLEASURE I'm giving my tommy to Poland? To China I'm giving two chins; A Jowl I am giving to simplify living For Bnlgars and Slovenes and Finns. Those rolls on my waistline are going To help a canse worthy and great; While famine now marches I'm giv ing up starches? This time my reducing can't wait. ? ? ? (""Henry and Clara ford Marriad St yeerr."?/Vewt itemj Here's to Henry Ford and Clara, For so long a happy pair-a; For 51 years they rode together? That's mileage, sir, in any weather! Here's to Clara and here's to Hen! On qnite a Journey they have been; No eonple made a Journey finer; ? mnmrnmm Hia KhITIM wpta dmttr ? ? ? The Hobos of America have voted to hold their 1947 convention in Miami, because the cities usual ly chosen are too cold in the spring. In this announcement you have a reflection of the American mood these days. A bum used to be will ing to take his fun where he could find it, and always convenience of locale and economic considerations counted most. But now the climate must be right regardless of travel ing distance and general expenses. The modern hobo refuses to loaf except near the Gulf Stream and he prefers to get there by plane. ? ? ? IMA This Is the slogan for each dinner! "Mother, slice the bread mnch thin ner!" ? ? ? "Truman asks Americans to Tight en Belts."?Headline. ? The trouble with most Americans is that they think their belts are tightened if their pants don't drop to the floor when they inhale. ? ? ? Governor Dewey has signed a bill raising the speed limit in New York to SO miles an hour. The previous limit was 35 to 40. The governor says that while the previous limit was seldom observed or enforced the new one will be. Wanna bet! A HUMAN tidal wave, headed tor almost any sort of sporting :ompetition, has struck baseball in i record sweep. All past records are wing submerged in the way of at endance figures, even on the part it those teams who are conceded Krthing better than sixth place. It would not be surprising to see he newly bedecked Yankee star G ran tland Rice ' iutdsss their be cuum, unaer uu operation of Larry MacPhail, crowd the two million nark before Octo b e r reports. The Yankees are prac tically sure to set an all-time count at he busy turnstiles, with the Tigers not too far away. The Cubs and the Dodgers also should st vear with manv thousands added to the list. A sporting crowd Is willing to take a heavier beating than any >ther section of the human race. U1 these freniied multitudes ask Is i chance to buy a ticket, then let nature take Its eourse. These crowds make the sardine look like I rover in the wide-open spaces, with room to spare. The Kentucky Derby set a new tiigh in several directions. So prob ably will the Louis-Conn inter mingling at the Yankee stadium in June. The Rush to Sport We have been asked to explain this overwhelming rush to sport. After all, we have few who can match in ability and color the headliners of the Golden Age fol lowing the First World war. I am referring again to Babe Ruth, Jack Dempsey, Bobby Jones, Man o* War, Bill Tilden, Tommy Hitch cock, Devereux Milburn, Walter Kagen, Rogers Hornsby, Earl Sande and Red Grange. We have no such galaxy of famous names with which to conjure, although Di Maggio, Williams, Nelson, Hogan, \rcaro, Blanchard, Davis and a few others may be just as good. It may be that the glamour of past years takes on too keen a hue and glint. But that Golden Age of Sport produced a pretty fair col lection of talent and color. No such talent has been proved in this pres ent postwar era up to date, but it may happen later. It may be that the coming season in various sports will give us cham pions that can match the Old Guard of the lost and golden era. We don't believe so. But we know that sport will give us greater crowds than ever were known in the past. We know that there will be more money than ever before wagered on the races through the mutuels and the bookmakers ? a total surpass ing 2 billion dollars. New York alone will pass 500 million through the mutuels. In this era of peace following the blackness of the world's greatest war, there are two details that make this possible: (1) the reach for release ? the excuse for taut nerves and (2) more widespread cash than this country has ever known previously. It is the same in England, even more so. This is no knock against the human race. It is only a natural reaction, even if It isn't the wisest and the sanest reaction. When was the human race ever sane or wise? ? ? ? Some Big Questions The season will soon begin to un roll a number of answers to vari ous important questions. No. I. How will the Yankee pitch ing staff make out? Will it be con sistently good enough to be even fairly close to the pitching strength of Tigers, Red Sox or Indians? Or the Senators? No. 2.

How many home runs can Hank Greenberg deliver to offset the natural and expected deficit in foot speed? No. >. To what ball clubs are a few of the Cardinals' pitching sur plus beaded? No. 18.

How will the old New York ? Boston argument concerning the all-around ability of Joe Gor don and Bobby Doerr work out? No. 13. How far up will Billy South worth be able to lift the Braves in his first Boston season? Genu of Thought WHAT Is really momentous and all-important with us is the present, by which the fu ture is shaped and colored.? Whittier. The reward of one My Is the power to fulfill another.?Eliot.
