A Boy And His Dog
With A Paper Bag And 'Slipper' Edwin Stene Delivers Kansans
You've probably seen them many times around the campus and whistled at the dog or said, "Hi," to the boy with a Daily Kansan paper bag over his shoulder.
The boy is Edwin Stene, son of E. O. Stene, associate professor of political science, and the dog—black, "mostly cocker" according to Edwin—is Slipter.
Edwin, 14, also is known as Andy,
but he decided this year that since
he is in the ninth grade at University
high school he should be called
Edwin.
Edwin and Slipper started carrying the Daily Kansan 18 months ago and have missed few afternoons in covering their route. Edwin tried delivering the papers via bicycle a few times, but Slipper didn't like this. She had to keep to the sidewalks or well beaten paths and curb her explorer's instinct, so, after a few trials, Edwin gave it up and they have been trotting around their private short cuts ever since.
Slipper lags behind when Edwin delivers a paper to the chancellor's home.
"She never comes in the yard with me," Edwin laughs. "She thinks the
"Sometimes I have to wait for her." Edwin says, "but if I don't wait when I go into an office, she knows my route and is waiting for me when I come out on the other side of the building. She thinks it's a waste of time when I make her come in, but when I stay too long and she's not with me, she gets bored and whines."
chancellor's dog is a nuisance."
Slipper doesn't go in many offices on the route, preferring to wait by the door for Edwin, but when they cross Fraser theater to the north side of Fraser hall, Slipper runs ahead to Miss Lulu Gardner's office to get the candy Miss Gardner has ready. Slipper expects the candy to be left on a sheet of paper even if the office is locked and Miss Gardner is gone.
However, she doesn't mind going down the hill to the Military Science building to the navy's offices. Something about a sailor appeals to women and Slipper is no exception. She hurries to the office, over to J. S. "Junior" Gasawski's desk, and politely sits up as he feeds her a candy bar he's saved in a desk drawer.
Taking 120 papers from the University High school to Lindley hall, stopping in every campus building, and climbing scores of stairs doesn't always appeal to Slipper.
Slipper will be seven years old in the spring and has belonged to Edwin six years. Edwin says she seldom leaves him when other students try to coax her except when "Tm standing around and looking as if I'm not going any place." Then she will run over for a quick pat on the head.
Edwin goes home to get Slipper after his last class at the high school because it just wouldn't seem right to go on the route without her. But the next time Edwin can't deliver the paper, Slipper is going to do it alone.

270,000 Meat Plant Workers Back on Job
(By United Press)
The nation's packinghouse workers returned to work today as wage agreements of two automakers raised hope of settling pay disputes in other fields.
Government-seized meat plants resumed production in a truce which sent nearly 270,000 CIO and AFL workers back to their jobs in anticipation of raises expected to be recommended by a presidential fact-finding committee.
The return of the packinghouse employees, who called off an 11-day strike Saturday, cut the total of strike-idled Americans to 1,600,000.

Don't Makeup to Me, Woman' Bronx Lieutenant Warns Girls
San Antonio, Tex. (UP) - The Bronx lieutenant who attracted national sympathy several months ago when it was learned he was allergic to cosmetics is dating again.
Lt. Alfred E. Elkins, now stationed with the AAF personnel distribution command here, picked up the allergy in New Guinea and hadn't been able to be around girls for six months.

But the allergy is coming along nicely now. If his allergy goes easy on the powder and applies only a thin layer of lipstick, Elkins can take a full evening without a single sneeze and only a few rough spots on his lips.
When news of the allergy was first
released, Elkins received letters, pictures and advice from girls in every state. One girl in St. Louis, Mo., volunteered to start a "paleface club" in his honor. "If you want a wife who doesn't paint up every day, you can choose one of us," she wrote.
