big buildup of Chinese Red air-

RETIRING ALARM CLOCK
CROSSVILLE, Tenn.—(A>)—Dew
ey Holman is about to retire from
his shoe shop and start sleeping
late in the morning. When he does,
a lot of folks may be late for work.
For 15 years, Holman has been
roaring out a big, time-to-get-up
warwhoop at 7 o’clock each work
ing morning. He doesn’t know just
how he started his window-rattling
vocal exercise but he’s come to look
upon as something of a civic obli
gation. When he was sick once,
several persons complained they
overslept.

From Odessa High School
BUSHY FACES—All those bushy-faced civilian students
around here are looking for these two girls, Jane and Joan
Ryba. The girls, twin cheerleaders for Rice institute, will
be two of the judges for the beard-growing contest during
Civilian weekend, May 13. That’s Jane on the left and
Joan on the right, or vice versa. It doesn’t make much
difference.

Look for the Spalding “Tennis Twins”
Wherever Top Tennis Is Played
There are good reasons why Spalding’s tennis twins are used in more
major tennis tournaments than all other tennis balls combined.
Top players want a tennis ball that can take rough treatment .. .
and give uniform performance set after set. They pick the Spalding
and the Spalding-made Wright & Ditson over all others for uniform
wear and better bounce qualities.
Put the best ball in play for your best game. The pick of top tennis
men . . . Spalding’s famous tennis twins.
Your dealer has them now.
