For pent-up city kids, the best signs of spring are those pasted along the streets and alleys an nouncing that its time for the circus. And the kids range from low to advanced ages, too for there is something about the frig top that spells "America" in ever youthful letters. No one knows this better than the circus press agents They are the best in the business and have held the respect of the press for countless years. On of them is William Fields who hails from Texas and is a friend of miqe. Kill is a quietly dynamic fellow of serious mien hut disarm ing smile. Quiet, that is, until you give him a chance to talk circus. Then he gives you any number of good reasons why the goings-on under the big tent make up "the greatest show on earth." There is considerable talk a round town of late about Jackie Gleasftn who fell and broke his ankle while doing a show ? and considi i's this lo be just part of his act. Jackie is a grown-up child if there over was one. To liint. life is pla\ it's a^ simple as that. And' those around him. whether on lite stage of in the hospital inevitably become part of his* act, purposely or not I recall that when the cor pulent comedian was only a rou tine performer .at the liuxy Theat er here, he seemed even fatter. Mavbe Ins tailor wasn't so good then Well. Jackie makes $60,000 a week new anil spends just about that amount, lias fi"> suits, two $400 ae oats and a French pood le that cost a thousand bucks.

Good location, CAROLINA MUTUAL INSURANCE AND REAL ESTATE AGENCY 110 Main St. Ulal liL 6-5441 Fred Smith has been railed a "butter and egg man" so much that by now it's practically rou tine. He is originally from Tren ton, Tennessee and came tiere as the public relations man tor the poultry industry, so the "butter" part is superfluous. lie is tbe one who originated the custom of giv-j ing a Christmas turkey to the President each \car. II told me his J best newspaper experience was on the Nashville Tennessean and the Charlotte Observer. Fred In ing a genial guy. I asked him which] canic first, the chicken or the egg. He parried thi- one skillful^ and referred me to the First Chapter of Genesis, 2Hth verse -which I looked up and found it gives the edge tj> the thicken. Well, that's i one for the birds! Joe Doctor, well-informed in vestment expert is aflect innately known by us of the press as "tbe ! newspaper man of Wall Street." Hut there was one bit ol news, which he was reluctant to give out last week. His wife passed aw'i* I did not even realize it until I noticed thai Joe was more seriou than usual and did not greet me with his usual wise crack Then he admitted the tragedy. Hut to sympathetic overtures lie shook his head "It's my loss." he said "Kindness is appreciated hut pco | pie have enough of their own worries, so I will not burden them with mine. No flowers, no story,'] thank you. I'll just accept your good wishes instead." Thcv had no children, so onlv a few of the ^closest relatives and friends were j informed of the burial in a little Pennsylvania cemetery. Yet we knew that in Joe's big heart the;re j was an empty place that would last ! in silence as long as he does. And somehow this silenee was more | eloquent than a lot of words.
