Well, Grandma would be proud of the fair young miss whose story comes to light on these pages. “Pretty” did all right for herself, as you can plainly see, and has got bigger _and better plans for the future. Ann came to us some time back with her problem, which we knew from the hundreds of letters we receive every month is a typ- ical brow-creaser with lots of junior misses all over the country.

It’s a heady experience which I heartily recommend to others. All I do is follow a simple rule to separate the use- ful sheep fromthe encumbering goats. I ask, ‘Has anyone used this object within the last six months?” If it’s “yes” . . . it gets a stay of execution. If it’s “no” . . . out it goes. For instance, my pot cupboard rivaled Fibber McGee’s famous claset. Countless pie and cake pans, lids, scrapple pans, and assorted tinware — were always cascading out. Only a few minutes thought was needed to pick out the utensils I actually used in my everyday cooking. It’s the same story all over the house. If I didn’t go through this weeding process regu- larly we’d be smothered with impedimenta . . old clothes, shoes, wilted accessories, be- draggled souvenirs, and of course, the chil- dren’s hopelessly mutilated playthings. Very few of us can bear to relinquish the dear de- parted at once. Some deep instinct makes us tuck it away, with the vague excuse that it might come in handy some day for something. And a hundred to one, it never does. I often think of the most carefree period in my married life. We moved to another state, taking along only a few essential things. We lived in a three-room, one-story house that was a shelter and nothing more. I never had so few conveniences—and I never enjoyed keeping house so much! There was a fine feel- ing of space and freedom in those bare rooms. Dusting was reduced to a minimum. Win- dow and curtain washing vanished—we had screens and shutters.

We used to star amazement at the weird junk that turned up at these sales. “Who on earth would want to buy all that stuff?,” we’d say. But there was always somebody who would bid, and the junk would get a new home. Eventually, our house lection matched what we’d seen at auctions. - Well, now I know! I may not be able to stop the flow of possessions into the house, but I can see to it that nothing stays if it doesn’t earn its keep. I used to wonder why I felt like an overloaded pack-horse all the time. It was simply the weight of all those countless inanimate parasites on my mind. I refuse to be so burdened any more. I don’t have to throw them away, either. Nowadays, especially, almost any- thing can be sold. And there’s al- ways the Salvation Army or some other worthy organization.

At the end of his junior year Uncle Sam put him in uniform, sent him to Oberlin for one semester and then to a midshipman school. He is on a destroyer oe and has seen plenty of action re=- cently--Iwo Jima, Je Jima, Okinawa, etc. His address is Ensign Charles ; Gilliland, U.8.8.

He has completed 25 or 30 missions over Japan. You spoke in your last Rebound about brothers meeting in a battle area. These three boys happened to be in Honolulu at the same time about the middle of January and spent twenty-four hours together. More recently Don, on his return from a mission over Japan, landed at the island where Bob is stationed and spent a couple of days with hin.

GLENVIEW, ILLINOIS Cy January 18, 1945. Dr. Re W. George, Tarkio College, Tarkio, Missouri. Dear Dr. George: I am very sorry that I have neglected to answer your communication of December 8th. I know how important you deem those things, because I have had three sons of my own who played football, and I know that you are concerned about it. However, your letter was under a mass of correspondence that I had been uable to reach, which accounts for the delay. This is an accepted medical practice such as you described in the case of your son. I do not believe it has any bad results. I have always thought that most of the time it was treating the symptoms and not removing the cause. However, with heat as an adjunct of _— treatment, it has been found to be ~~ helpful. You can appreciate, not having seen the knee and not cis much about the injury, how very difficult it would be for me to pass an opinion. I @ sure by now, however, that your son is getting along nicely, as most of these cases respond to treatment if given a little time. ; Sincerely yours, Director of Physical Education, FCA:AH Varsity Basketball Coach.

G; Allen, Department of Athletics, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas. Dear Dr. Allen; ‘ I remember that a few years ago one of our college boys visited you and received some very valuable suggestions concerning a football injury which he had been having trouble with for sometime. May I ask you to express your opinion as to treatment that the doctor is giving my son for a ¢ difficulty which has arisen following a series of knee bruises. As a result of these bruises he has developed a condition of "water on the knee". The doctor drained off quite a quantity of water this morning, bandaged the knee tightly, told him to take the bandage off at night and to put it back on each morning. It had been my understanding that there was danger in draining off this liquid and I am not sure that we have men in our town or neighboring towns that have had enough experience with this sort of thing. If you have had experience and if you have any suggestion that you could offer we would ‘appreciate it very much.

Soon the gamblers will show their hand.” \ November 6, 1944. lir. Ben Gould, The Brooklyn Eagle, Brooklyn 1, New York. Dear Mr. Gould: I am sorry that I have been unable to get to your letter sooner. . Answering your questions: Why is a commissioner necessary? I believe that I have said enough here lately in the press to state my _ position; namely, that organized baseball was subjected to the gambling racket in such a way that it caused a national scandal and a lack of confi- dence in the sport until Judge Landis took over. ; I have no one in mind, but I would suggest that the only way to do this is for the American Association of University Presidents to ask the President of thw United States to nominate a man and the presi- dents would elect him. As I have stated, he would be selected by the University Presidents and his term would be for life, like Judge Landis, and his salary would be at least $75,000 or more. ‘This would be a small sum for the colleges to pay because they could pay on the pro rata basis of the student population. His powers would be absolute, as with Judge Landis, and there would be no "may" about it - he "shall" enforce the rules. His duties would be to set up a national organigation, and his assistant oom- missioners like Griffith, Bushnell, St. Clair and Peters would be in the same relationship as the bank examiners are under the chief bank examiner. The czar would set out the rules for them to observe and there would be no alternative. His functions would be similar to those of Judge Landis. You ask what good this would do. It would do the only real good that has evernbeen done to college athletios as far as adminis- tration is concerned. At the present time we have faculty members making the rules and administering them, and allowing the athletio director to be only a business agent because he neither makes the laws nor enforces them. You ask how he would compare in scope to Landis or Layden. I am taking as my pattern Landis and not Layden. The man of necessity must be a lawyer because he would have to understand court procedure, and a man ~Le without legal training would not be able to handle such a position. You will remember that Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis fined the Standard Oil - Company fifty-two million dollars while he was a Federal judge. This act showed his fearlessness and his high regard for the law. This, in my opinion, is the type of man that should be a national czar of the intercollegia world. 3 I kmow a lot of people say, how would you get them all in and some would not join. Only the colleges and wmiversities that join this organization would be eligible to compete with member schools. The ones who did not come in would be recognized as professionals and would play only among themselves. , I am a little too busy at the present time to pass on how the new rules will effect the game this year, and the prospect. I will write you later if you are sted. Let me hear from you. Very sincerely yours, Director of Physical Education, FCA:AR Varsity Basketball coach. BROOKLYN EAGLE BROOKLYN 1.

Dear Dr. Allen:- This will acknowledge receipt of your letter of Mareh 14th. We have not discussed the matter of Dick's future education to any greet extent since it is very probable that he will have to enter the Armed Forces some time this coming summer. He will be eighteen on July 14th and since he is in good héalth snd physical condition, there is no reason to foresee that he will be deferred or rejected. We naturally want him to continue his education after the war but just what end where is pretty. hard to predict at this time. We know thet his Uncle Herb wents him to go to K. U. but on the other hand his older sister who is now at Missouri wants him to go there. Dick is a very good High School athlete. He is probebly equally good in football end basketball but he is probably better in baseball than either. Last year he had e 7-0 record in High School and in the inter- mediate division of the Muny League he had a 14-3 record. The Yankess and the Browns have both shown,some interest in him but he definitely will not enter professional baseball at this time. We very much appreciate your interest in Dick and your letter. will be kept on file for future consideration. I want to take this opportunity to con- gratulate you as well as commend you on your fight against the professional gamblers. Keep up this good work and more power to you. Sincerely yours
