Hoppy Can Handle Bandits But Convertibles Puzzle Him
Washington (U.P.)—Hopalong Cassidy may know how to pound the tar out of a stage coach bandit, but he's a fumble-bum when it comes to getting the top down on a convertible when it rains.
As a result, the two-gun movie man, your correspondent and four star-struck youngsters arrived downtown from the airport, soaked to the raw.
William Boyd, alias Hopalong, was in town to lead the line of march of 25,000 safety patrol kids from 21 states in the biggest parade ever, almost.
The younguns were brought here as guests of the American Automobile Association as a reward for saving lives in guiding other school children across the traffic lanes. Soldiers of the cross-roads, Hoppy called them.
Anyhow, when we left the airport in the big pea-green open car the rain clouds were moving down on us.
A cop in the escort squad came up, saluted and said: "Mr. Cassidy, it's about to drop. Want to put the top down!"
The flicker cowboy casually fingered the lapel of his ice-cream suit and snorted:
"Who's afraid of a few raindrops."
"Who's afraid of a few raindrops." Half a mile down the trail the clouds let down with dew by the millions of drops. Hoppy set about to man the mechanical rain-control — a little button on the right side of the dashboard. His fiddling was accompanied by an obbligator of juvenile titters from the back seat. The great man pushed and he hauled. The rain kept on and the top stayed down. Finally, he turned to me.

button a gentle jab. The top went up. The sun came out and a lot of people sat there soaked under a steaming roof.
That was the beginning of a brief interview.
"What makes Hoppy click?" I asked him.
"Ask Ann, there in the back seat," said the man in the big hat.
"He treats us like people," the little blonde miss said.
Ann Giese, aged 10, had an answer ready.
CHARLTON
But it is a fact that William Boyd treats big people another way. He once walked out on a scheduled speech when he learned there were no kids aboard. And he doesn't make speeches to the kids, either. He just talks to them folksy like.
