/? May 11, 1944. Mr. Lacy Naynes, » The Kansas City Star Burean, $16 North 6th Street, Kansas City 12, Kansas. Dear Lacy: Thank you for writing me in your busy hours. We always remember you, Lacy, as well as we remember that son of yours. I am gled to get his address. We sent the Jayhawk Re- bounds to his old address and doubtless it will follow hin. However, this will bring us up to the present for the next Rebounds which will go out this month, we hope. Confirming my conversation this noon over the phone, I am sending you snnouncements of the Wartine Recreation Training Institute at the University of Kensas. I would greatly appreciate \ it if vou could heve some one in your office write an article for the Sunday Kansas City Star that would circularize many of these high sehool and comumity recreation people in our territory who perhaps have not heard of this fine offering. This service program in wartime emergency prompts our doing this in the name of re~- creation. I certainly will greatly appreciate your kindly sooper= ation. With kindest regards to you, Mrs. Taynes, ani Mary Jane, I am Very sincerely yours, Director of Physical Education, PGA SAH Varaity Basketball Coach. Ence £31C0 THE KANSAS CITY STAR.

On August 30, 1941, when Val Lentz wrote me regarding the questionnaire at that time, I wrote him as follows: — “In my opinion the National Basketball Coaches Association leadership at the present time is going to be the means of splitting up the joint Basketball Rules Committee. I think we are having some very poor leadership at present and I do not foresee much good coming out of the things they are try- ing to put across.” This is my sentiment in regard to a certain eastern block, the nucleus of which resides in the metropolitan area. Neither do I think much of the leadership of the N.C.A.A. tournament, the chairman of which is Harold Olson. Thank you for sending the notice, and I quite agree with you that I do not deserve nor do I care to subscribe financially to it. In my opinion it is just wasting your time and your moneye With all good wishes to you and Mrs. Hickox, whom I prize as real friends, I am Sincerely yours, | Direotor of Physical Edusation, FCAsAH Varsity Basketball Coach. INTERNATIONAL YOUNG MEN’S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION COLLEGE SPRINGFIELD, MASSACHUSETTS NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF BASKETBALL COACHES President Kelleher Calls Conferences and Executive Committee Meetings March 24-25-26, 1944 Hotel Belvedere (Across 49th Street from The Garden) During the National Collegiate A. A. and the finals of the Invitation Tournaments at Madison Square Garden, New York City. Because of wartime restrictions, we are asked not to hold our annual convention. Instead we are holding our conferences and execu- tive committee meetings as we did in 1943. We urge every member who can make the trip to New York without overburdening transportation facilities to attend and to take part in the discussions, It seems imperative that the coaches, who can, should meet this year bringing with them the thoughts and feelings of their associates in the various areas. The Rules Committee is having full sessions Monday and Tuesday following our meetings, and we must send to them a full and clear statement of our problems and our suggested solutions. IN PARTICULAR, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT EVERY OFFICER OF THE ASSOCIATION ATTEND AND EVERY CHAIRMAN OF A COMMITTEE; ALSO EVERY MEMBER WHO HAS HELD OFFICE OR BEEN CHAIRMAN OF A COMMITTEE. We must plan for the immediate future as well as for this post- war period, "TNFORMATION PLEASE" At the Hotel Belvedere there will be a “Headquarters" room where you may get information, meet your friends, argue about basketball, and know you are among friends. At the conferences, reports will be heard from various committee chairmen and from those having special assignments. HERBERT W. READ, representing both the Research and the Rules sections, will make a full report on his questionnaire and will preside over the Rules discussion period. BRUCE DRAKE will present a special report on “goal tenders." ADOLPH RUPP (whose team is in the Invitation Tournament) is Chairman of the Officials't Committee. HAROLD OLSEN (whose team is in the N.C.A.A. Tournament) is Chairman of the Tournament Committee. BILL CHANDLER is Bulletin Editor and should tell us about that "Penalty Box" experiment. The N.C.A.A. promises to furnish gratis one ticket for Friday and Saturday nights to each member in good standing of the Coaches Associa- tion who attends the conferences. The Invitation Tournament Committee will provide a ticket for the Sunday night finals, but it may not be gratis. The luncheon fflonday is given by Ned Irish and the Writers’ Association. The high school games Saturday afternoon in the Garden will be open to the coaches. N.B. a) Hotel accommodations in New York City are crowded.

Allen; Director of Physical Education and Basket Ball Coach, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas. Dear Professor Allen:= How goes everything with you and yours back in old Kansas? And how is your basket-ball team doing now? Am trying to line up a few husky linemen for my friend, "Gus" Dorais of the Detroit "Lions", and so far, have two likely prospects for his 1944 team. But the Ar- med Forces have played havoc with all athletic lineups and you do not know from day to day whom you heave. Although ea life long Democrat, I am hoping for a Republican victory in the presidential election this Fall and my present choice is Governor John W. Brick- er of my old home state of Ohio; but Governor Dewey would suit me all right if Bricker does not win the nomination. I was glad to see Wisconsin puds the skids under Mr.Wil- licke, for that gent has been running interference for Roosevelt since 1940. Personally, I care nothing for "One World" nor Roosevelt's or Willicke's brand of inter~ nationel imperialism. | The local Pacific Coast baseball season opened here last Saturday, with the Hollywood "Stars" trimming Seattle; somehow or other, I cannot develop much enthus-~ iesm for this Coast brand of ball and main attraction is the Cincinnati Reds of the National League. ? My two boys are doing nicely in school and both Johnnie and ‘ony are baseball and football addicts. Let's hear from you when you get a respite from your arduous duties and best wishes from all the Hollywood Herbold Indians. eh a es ee | « JOH/H. Enel.

SERVICE BONUS No. 6 SATURDAY, APRIL 1, 1944 Introducing JOHN HERBOLD A Typical Citizen-News Carrier JOHN HERBOLD is a typical Citizen-News carrier. John delivers the newspaper each afternoon to his customers on Routes 310-349, which include the territory north of Franklin Avenue from Vine Street to Vista Del Mar Avenue. John has faithfully delivered this territory for the past year and a half, during which time he has made many friends. During the past six months he has not had a single complaint or a missed copy. In addition to his daily delivery he still has time to deliver a Hollywood Advertisers each Thursday morning. . He is a student at Le Conte Junior High School, where he is in the A9 class. He is above average in his school grades and still has ample time to play football and baseball. He is saving $500.00 from his route earnings, which he will have before July. At the moment he can’t decide whether to use the money for buying a new car or a horse. John had his own horse a couple of years ago and has been interested ever since in obtaining a new one. John has sold more than 60 new subscribers to the Citizen-News and his customers really enjoy the newspaper along with his fine. delivery service. He enjoys writing poetry and short stories. Many of his writ- ings have appeared in the school paper, The Ranger. He plans on going to college to study journalism, and we wouldn’t be sur- prised to see him wind up in the Editorial Department of the Citi- zen-News. His main entertainment is light opera—especially Gilbert and Sullivan. He enjoys exciting, adventurous motion pictures, but doesn’t care for love stories. ; - John Herbold is typical of the 350 boys delivering the Citizen- News each afternoon.

Carrier Edition Memo to Citizen-News Subscribers We want you to see a copy of our week- ly bulletin for Citizen-News carrier boys. We think that you may be interested in the type of training given to these 350 boys who daily deliver the Citizen-News to your home. . The Citizen-News endeavors to give you good delivery service. To do this we have a group of the finest boys in the city. Each boy delivering this newspaper is given an opportunity of later working into the newspaper office. New carriers are selected as nearly as possible with this thought in mind. We are always interested in adding out- standing boys in the community to our list of carriers. You, our subscribers, know the boys in your neighborhood. Your recommendation of an outstanding boy whom we might in- terview would be of great assistance to us in maintaining a group of outstanding boys. We would appreciate your recommenda- tions of those boys in your neighborhood whom you believe would be of the same caliber as our present force of fine young men, \ Annual Citizen-News Carriers Picnic Set for Sat, Apri 8 Baseball Game, Track Events And Plenty of Food Set for Picnic It isn’t just Spring that has gotten all of our carriers out limbering up and seeing how fast they can run. No Sir. . BASEBALL LEAGUE The Citizen-News will sponsor a Base- ball League this year for those districts wishing to enter a team. A regular series of games will be played with other districts and the winners will be suitably rewarded. Talk to the baseball players in your dis- trict and to your district manager. Get the best possible team set for action. Submit your team members and team name to the office so that we can plan the schedule of games to be played. “Pardon me for walking on your feet.” “Oh, that’s o.k. I often walk on them myself.” * * * Boy: I forgot to ask you to my picnic tomorrow.” Friend: Too late now, I’ve prayed for a blizzard.” * * * Mother: “This hurts me more than it does you, Billy.’ Billy: “Don’t be too severe with yourself, Mamma.” : * * * He: “Honey, can you see what the people at the next table are eating? | She: ‘No, but it sounds like celery.” * * * “Mister, that sure is a sure footed horse you sold me.” “How did you find out so soon?” “He kicked me in ae same place three times.” * * * “S‘funny but a teacher can be easy on the eyes and hard on the pupils.” DISTRICT THREE NOTES Our new location at 5915 Hollywood Blvd. is now a scene of busy boys between 3:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. each day. The boys like the centrally-located Branch Office, which is near both Cheremoya and Le Conte. | Some boys want more space so they are still checking for larger quarters. . Our new carrier, Eddie Agner, 328, is rapidly whipping into shape by making perfect Advertiser delivery, no complaints and at this writing is top man on collec- tions. This coming Monday will find Bob Lo- maxX being transferred from 313 to 325 where we are sure he will continue as a Star Carrier. Jimmy Scovel will leave us for a period until after school vacations when he will return. Thanks to Mrs. Scovel for fur- nishing us with a fine boy, Charles Wilson, who will replace Jimmy. MHurry back, Jimmy. A CITIZEN-NEWS ROUTE TEACHES BUSINESS TRAINING The Citizen-News is proud of its 350 young business men who daily deliver the paper to our subscribers. You young men are a vital part of the newspaper, and unless your delivery of the paper is properly made, all the work put into publishing the newspaper is wasted. In doing this vital newspaper work you are gaining an educa- tion that only a newspaper route can give you. Valuable education gained from a Citizen-News route that will . greatly aid you in later positions you acquire include: 1. Learning to meet the public courteously and the use of tact and diplomacy in successfully carrying on your business. . Learning business methods which you will need and appreciate in later years. . Learning, how to sell, to give service and to collect effectively. . Learning the value of money and receiving the thrill of earning your own spending money. . Learning how to work va other boys as a team in order to gain maximum success. . Learning how to be prompt in all of your daily activity and learning dependability and reliahilitv It’s the annual Citizen-News carriers’ picnic and all the boys want to be in form ready for the big event. Saturday morning, April 8, is set for the big event. And there will be plenty of food and competition to try the best of the boys. And lots of prizes for the winners. The 50-yard dash for the smaller boys and the 100-yard dash for the big fellows will try out the track stars. The three- legged race will keep the boys tumbling toward the finisir line. The paper boxing contest will give the speediest boxers their chances, while the boys who have been porching their papers will be a cinch for the paper throw for accuracy. Whenever picnic is mentioned, the first question a boy asks is, “What do we eat?” The Ration Board has agreed that we should feed Citizen-News boys nothing but the best and they think that we can get enough hot dogs to fill you up. To add to the feast we’ll have ample sweets to top off the meal. A new event this year will be the egg throw, and, of course, With eggs it’s a mat- ter of accuracy—not distance. We'll tell you more about this new feature at the picnic. To avoid the transportation problém we will again divide our picnic into three parks. The Valley boys will meet at North Hollywood Park, while the boys delivering east of Vine Street will go, to Griffith Park, and the boys west of Vine Street will go to La Cienega Park. Plan now on getting your collections out of the way and qualifying for the All Cash Drawing so that you can save SATURDAY, APRIL 8, for just one thing—THE BEST PICNIC YOU HAVE EVER ENJOYED. All Cash Drawing Ends Saturday, April 8 The All Cash Drawing has just one more week to run. More and more boys are qualifying for the drawing each day and we should have the majority of our boys qualified by next Saturday. Remember that there are 35 big cash prizes to be awarded to 35 Citizen-News carriers. It takes only two new subscriptions to have your name dropped in the drawing and to give you your chance for a cash award. Four new subscriptions will increase the amount of your. prize. You still receive your regular cash com- mission for each new subscription. These bonuses are in addition to your regular commission. With school out next week you can spend some of your time calling on non- subscribers and you'll find that it is really worthwhile in a financial sort of way.
