By ED SULLIVAN Listen Kids EVERY TIME I play golf with Randy Scott, George Burns. Bins Crosby or Bob Hope, the thought establishes itself that there are a lot of startling similarities between golf and life. All of us tee off in life, just as we do in golf; some find the fairway and some find the rough, but whether you shoot a 72 or a 92 the final score is comparatively unimportant, so long as you play honestly, enjoy it and help others enjoy it. The club honors Wellman, for the black cat was the insignia on the combat planes of N-87, the French flying squadron to which he was attached during the World War. Pilots who joined are Paul Mantz, technical advisor; Tex Rankin.

April 13 Stan Laurel cast an unappreciative eye at wife Number One in court today, glanced unhappily in the direction of Number Two, worried about the painful predicament of Number Three and said his triple-threat husband hazards were getting him down.

You start something and quit, and wonder why it didn't pan out successfully. If you can't quit on a golf shot it's dollars to doughnuts that you can't get away with it in life. WALTER HAGEN explained the secret of hi championship playing: "When I get into a bunker or in trouble, I accept the pena'ty for it. I don try to use a wooden club or a long iron; I take a niblick and am satisfied to get out.

From a wooden case in her bedroom closet, a burglar took a dozen diamond and ruby studded platinum ornaments, two platinum jewelled watches worth $1200, bracelets and "rings. Miss Hopkins was not home. every caddy. When h- hooks or slices a ball into the rough, he improves the lie of the ball by stamping down the grass and earth behind it. while nobodv is looking.

But you can't cheat for long without some one finding out. First the caddies started talking about him, then a caddy told a member, and pretty soon everyone in the club knew that this guy was a cheat. i i JUST BECAUSE a fellow can outdrive you 40 yards off the tee doesn't mean that he can beat you. The first shot doesn't tell the whole story. So just because some hid is born to wealth, and you're born without it, remember that the start is fairly unimportant.

It' only when the ball drops into the cup that the winner is determined. SLOW ON the backswing is a golf admonition. Don't jump at the ball is another. In other words, don't be reckless or impatient, take it easy. MAIN THING about golf is this: Can you hit a bad shot, or miss an important putt and forget about it? Golfers who brood about the bad shot they hit on the second hole will be betrayed into hitting another bad shot on the next hole.

It's the same with life, certainly. A RUB of the green is an old Scotch expression for anything unexpected that occurs in golf. You hit a swell shot down the fairway, and you find your ball in a grass rut it's a rub of the green, unfortunate, but nevertheless part of the game. In life a lot of things will happen that have no logic or reason. Dismiss them as rubs of the green, because the best laid plans of men and mice go oft astray.

GOLF ETIQUETTE might be copied by all of us, every day, for golf etinuette is nothing but courtesy. You don't talk or move when another player is about to hit a shot. Before leaving a bunker, you smooth out the sand scars left by your feet. You replace divots, those tufts of grass and sod torn up when you play a shot off the fair green. You applaud a good shot, sympathise with a poor shot.

TO TEST the force and direction of the wind, golfers reach down and pluck a handful of grass and toss it in the air, and then play the shot accordingly. If 5'ou're going in to ask the boss for a raise, test the wind. THERE ARE dissimilarities between golf and life, of course. Golf still is old-fashioned enough to insist that ladies only can play on a course after 1 o'clock. In everyday life girls refuse to be discriminated against.

They have the ballot, they sit on juries, there are women in Congress, women governors, women doctors, women lawyers, women writers. THERE'S ONE other difference. In golf they tell you to keep your head down. In life, from the minute you tee off, the idea is to keep your chin up. ana its protlem ret Druuant attention with hierhly comic results.
