There is some talk about the
current story in Reader's Digest
bv Robert" Ruark who allows he
gave up a $65,000-a-year job and
left New York because he "couldn't
stand it any longer." Now I
wouldn't argue with Bob, a fellow
columnist I've known for years,
because he's a nice guy and a
truthful fellow. Another reason I
wouldn't want to impugn his ver
acity, as we used to say in college
when we wanted to impress some
body with big words, is because
Bob is now in Spain and might
;fire back at me in Spanish, and I
don't understand Spanish. But
what I'm trying to say is, that Bob i
didn't tell the whole story.
In the article he goes on to
say that he had his column in a
bout 200 newspapers, but the
only trouble was he had to write
it from New York. Well, my
column runs in a similar number
and I write it from New York
by choioe because there are
more interesting stories here
than any other place I know. Bob
said that nobodv he knew was
happy in New York. All I can |
reply is that the genial cuss
should have got out and met
some of the folks I know and
he would have changed his mind.
Furthermore, I don't believe
Ruark meant what he said in
this regard, for I was with him
at a meeting of Sigma Delta
Chi fraternity brothers the oth
er night, and I haven't heard so
much laughing in a coon's age,
as they say down in North Caro
lina where Robert Ruark comes
from?I myself being from way
across the Smoky Mountains in
Tennessee, at least a hundred
miles from Kuark's Pappy's
house as the turkey buaard
flies.
The exiled columnist further
states in his brief agin New York
that his days were so filled with
phones, parties and shindigs that
he only had time to write at
night. Well now, that's better than
goin' out to these here night clubs
j where they charge you $10 a
square foot for parking your car
| cass, the food being thrown in. !
Robert alleges that New York had
lost its glamor for the" country
boy. Maybe so'' for him?you see, !
he was pulled a little bit young
down in Carolina and probably ,
should have been left to ripen a
bit more on the vine before tear-in'
loose here at Gotham. As for this
country bay?meanin' myself and
making no comparison with Ruark
except for clarity purposes?I see
something new each day in New
York which makes me open my
mouth and say "Gee Whiz!" or
epithets to that effect. Perhaps I
am more of a country boy, maybe
so much so that I will never get j
the country out of me. Fact is, I
don't, want to.

Robert reveals that he lived in
a penthouse and knew everybody
from Bernie Baruch to Frank
Costello. I know Baruch but I
don't wanna know this Costello,
unless he's the .one who's as
sociataed with a bird named Ab
bott and acts funny. Now you
see, Robert apparently didn't
know the right people. As far
as Tom Lea, the Texas author
causin' Bob to leave, I came to
New York from Texas and dear
ly love to go back to tha* Lone
Star nation, but unlike Stanley
Walker who also penned a piece
about why he left New York,
I am willing to return to this
here Babylon-on-the-15-cent-sub
ways and write about it for
folks from Rhode Island to Colo
rado who don't yet realize how
bad it is. Robert relates that this
town is a "rat race." Right Here
I'd like to rise to a point, of
column-writing order and af
firm that I've been here four
teen years, longer than Bob
was, and I've yet to see a rat
in Manhattan. Some Giant base
ball fans told me there were
some in Brooklyn but I've never
had the chance to confirm this.
Last rats I saw were on a farm
down South. We used to shoot
at them in the barn on rainy
days.
Not that this column has not
made many unfavorable remarks
about New York. It has, plenty.
But let's give the devil his dues?
even if they are $65,000 a year.
New York has its ups, it has its
downs. Personally I prefer to
think of the sun rising over its
majestic skyscrapers, rather than
getting over the lessening slums.
Lots Of people here are unhappy
and failures but many more are
childishly eager for more of New
York, and strive onward to attain
a high success which is not avail

by a bowl of potato chips?

Here's how we got a quick din

on the clock and delicious results.
Friend Emmie?born in Waynes
boro, Georgia?was our helper, so
naturally our menu had a South

Main ' course was HAM. We
used two half-inch slices of the
boiled meat, weighing altogether
a little over two pounds, and broil
ed them to a mouth-watering turn
in our electric rotisserie. If you
haven't yet acquired one of these
wonderful cooking helps, put the
ham under the broiling unit of
your range.
On the ham went a magnificent
sauce ? Emmie's inspiration. She
said that before she worked out
the recipe, she walked around for
days "tasting it in my head." Thus
are recipes born! We call it HAM
TO-ICE CREAM SAUCE because
we've discovered it tastes wonder
fulu on either.
ASPARAGUS was our vegetable;
we used the frozen variety, but
canned would be fine and take
even less time to prepare.
With these we had HALFWAY
CORN BREAD ? a cross between
spoon bread and regular Southern
corn bread. It boasts a special step
that achieves an unusual custardy
layer. The recipe follows?try it
and see. I clocked the preparation
of the corn bread and it took about
10 minutes from the time I start
ed to prepare it until it was in

The struggle takes its toll, but
