A lady writer, with a mess of purple lace around her neck, took the firms for miles closed down." "I'm not sure you're proving anything," I said. "I'm not sure I'm trying to prove anything," said the sports writer. "I'm just trying to explain why I can't go along with the double-domes who say it's curtains.

Perhaps I'm an old cornball, and perhaps my arguments don't make sense, but as long as people will shut up shop in honor of a saddle horse that died In 1913, I refuse to believe that the world is a short sale. In my book, the eight-page supplement about the horse capcels out lots of front-page stories about Berlin." Would you advise me not to go ahead with that bomb-proof cellar I've been thinking of?" I asked. The sports writer shrugged. "The only thing I'd advise," he said, "is to try some of these anchovies."

More and more. I get the feeling that he's fed up with big-thingish goings on, and wants to get back to the little things that really Interest him." "As for instance?" 'I asked. "As for instance, a lot -of things" said the old-timer. "Did you see that front-page story a couple of weeks ago about the New York Park Department agreeing to let kids fish in the Central Park lake? And the one a few days ago about the flock of songbirds that ran smack into the Empire State Building and crash-landed on the midtown pavements?" "I saw them," I said, "but what does it prove?" "Just this," said my friend. "Editors can only hold on to their jobs if they hold on to their circulations, and when they front-page items about kids fishing and tirds crashing, it's because they know it's the kind of stuff people want to read." "That's a dopey argument If I ever heard one," I said.

When she had finished sounding off, I wasn't feeling very chipper, and the rest of the guests looked like soft touches for a bomb-shelter salesman. All except one guest, that is. An old sports writer I've known for years was happily polishing off a plate of anchovy canapes as though Nuclear Fission were something running in the third at Belmont. "How come you're so unconcerned?" I asked him.

"The end of the world is at hand, and all you do is eat crackers and little fish." "Things are pretty bad," the sports writer admitted. "The Giants are out of the pennant race, football prospects at Columbia are bad, and it's rumored that the hundred-dollar window at Jamaica has mice." "You wouldn't add bacteriological warfare to your list of possible catastrophes, would you?" I asked. "I couldn't spell it, let alone add it," said the old-timer. "But I do know that when the dame with the purple lace says civilization is all washed up, she's forgetting that the average guy who IS civilzation knows more about punts than protocol and is more interested in forward pass than forward march."

"Recently the Mexico Ledger in Missouri got out an eight-page supplement about a saddle horse named Rex MacDonald that died 35 years ago." "What did he do to rate all that white space?" I asked.

"Nothing important," said the old-imer. "Rex MacDonald was merely a hunk of horse flesh that the town was proud of.
