PAGE EIGHT, THE DAILY NEWS, HUNTINGDON AND MOUNT UNION, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1954. Nichols: The Lighter Side By HARMAN W. NICHOLS United Press Staff Correspondent Farmer City, 111., Nov. lot of dogs are smarter than a lot of people I know. Particularly girl clogs.

Take "Queenie," a six-year-old golden retriever, the kind that when you throw something they fetch it back. I fell to chinning with Wayne rswede) Fuller, an old friend and former neighbor of mine. He said: "You know what?" After I said "what?" he said "Watch this." Swede went into the house and got a bunch of letters. Then he turned to the golden retriever mother of several and said: "Go get your fan mail." Queenie didn't waste a second. She legged to the pile and came back in at once, her own mail in her own mouth.

Swede has done a wonderful job with these blooded fetchers. He has toured the country in the past few years making them perform at county fairs, on television and at sportsman's shows. The beautiful puppies can do but sign an autograph! I asked Swede how he does it. Patience of Job "I can't rightly tell you," he said, "except that you have to have the patience of Job. You can't make pets of them, and you can't mistreat them either.

If you overfeed 'em they get fat and lazy and are no good for show purposes. You try to teach the dogs something and you have to repeat and repeat and repeat." Swede can keep his secret. When I went to visit my former neighbor, the boss man was in the shower. I had seen his act on television out of Chicago and I knew "Queenie" by name only. I said: "Which one is "Queenie" and seven dogs started to bark.

Swede Fuller uses three methods in training and shoeing his canines. They respond to command via whistle, hand-signals and voice. Just to show you, he had a couple of youngsters working in his back yard another time I happened along. They were one-year- olds. He would say "sit down." They sat.

Then he would throw a rubber prop into the driveway, and they would kick up a heel. Then he would tool his whistle. Two pups would dig in. Then he would say: "Everybody go." And both of them would. Nice To Have Around They also can be taught a routine that runs into everything from jumping over one another and walking on their hind legs to crawling on their bellies and standing on their heads.

"They are nice things to have around when you are putting on a show," Swede told me. "Last summer, my wife and' I were at a. fair and I forgot the routine myself. I stalled a little and the dog that was supposed to be in the next act saved my neck. It was her turn and she knew it, and came forward." Swede is an old hunter.

But he doesn't hunt with his canine lovelies. "It would spoil them for show business. How much can you get for a dead duck or a pheasant?" Extra Little Gifts! Brown sugar does not become lumpy if it is stored in a covered container with half an apple or carrot in it.

Lillian I Roth wrote a happy ending to a Hollywood heartbreak story today i with a successful nightclub return that, she confessed, was the result of a television show and a book. Lillian nine years ago was an alcoholic, bro're in a charity hos- pital, her years of movie stardom in the '30s forgotten.

Five years ago, treated by Alcoholics Anonymous, she started a painful road to recovery. She sang at clubs here and around the country "but there was a barrier around me. I was afraid of what people thought." It wasn't until Ralph Edwards dramatized her story on TV's "This Is Your Life," she said, that she was able to Start on the happier life that brought her to the climax star-studded opening night at i Mocambo nightclub Tuesday night. Friendly Fans "The TV fan mail was so full of warmth and affection," she said. "Those people are all part of the good Lord who has helped me.

I realized people did not stare at me in condemnation." Lillian had started a book before "but I put it away because I could XXIII 'WADE DAGGETT spoke. "Any decision is risky, Greg That's the penalty of being, a free man. You have to make your i own decisions. Sometimes I think the whole western world is hag- ridden by fear of the responsibility of freedom, and the eastern world has surrendered i' altogether. The Age of Anxiety The Age of Longing.

The Age Self-Pity. Those words make me sick. Stop being so afraid of taking a chance." Greg shook his head. Circumstances were against him. So was the May night.

He found 'himself laughing. They started iback to the trailer. After a long pause Greg asked, does Kirby expect to sleep?" "Well, now," Daggett began uncomfortably, "of course, there isn't room for an extra person in the trailer. Kirby can hardly go to a hotel because someone would be sure to spot him. There's no point in that broke off and Greg tried to see his face in the deepening twilight.

The old man was up to something. Daggett, aware of Greg's suspicion, leaned craftily on the younger man's arm, accentuating his helplessness. "And it would be tough on Rupert because he is so afraid that he will" be asked for his papers." "So I am elected to find a room 'for myself somewhere after I get Hannah settled for the night." With shameless hypocrisy Daggett seized on this, "Since you suggested it long as you don't mind." "Oh, no, I don't miri'd. Perhaps I can find a nice homey haystack somewhere and curl up with an apple and a good book," Greg grinned. "You know, it is getting to be a challenge to see just how long I can keep you out of the clink." When the two men returned to the traiior, Rupert and Kirby were playing checkers.

Kirby had the indefinable air of a man who had been there all his life, an immovable sort of air. He had been Master of Ceremonies so long that he had instinctively acquired the manner of a host. "Where's Hannah?" Daggett asked. Rupert shrugged. "I thought She was walking with you; she went out right after you did.

Then she came back a few minutes ago and left Greg ripped open'the envelope and handed the letter to Daggett. When the old man had finished If we were to fail her, if she were to feel that we don't value her, it would be the finishing touch to her self-esteem. She has no one else to turn to." pREG started to speak and closed his mouth. Finally he said, "I'll find her. I'll bring her back." Daggett brightened.

"She can't have gone far. And, her understand we want her with us. "Be sure you make her understand that." "She'll come back," Greg prdmised, "if I have to drag her by the hair of her head." "Look in the luggage compartment of the car first. See if her suitcases are still there." But the suitcases were gone. The evening retained much of the soft warmth of the day and the sky was still opaline.

After her TV success she re-wrote the book because "I.could look back without sorrow and self-pity at last." The book, "I'll Cry Tomorrow," a harrowing account of her tragic life, became a best-seller and Lillian Roth once more is famous with club offers rolling in every day. Susan Hayward plans to portray Lillian in the movie version. "The book has had a tremendous reaction," Lillian said with a smile as she autographed copies of the book at a department store. "People come up to me after my shows and start to cry.

"I get letters from rabbis, priests and ministers who want me to speak before groups. Doctors write. And teen-agers who never understood the problems their mothers and fathers have. No Magic Formula "But I have no magic formula. It's embarrassing to get credit 'when you don't rate it.

"I wrote my book because there had been so many misconceptions about my life I wanted to get it straight. Then I thought an explanation would help others in trouble. "But I also wanted. to help myself. It was like talking to a psychiatrist to put everything down.

It reminded myself of what I was." Lillian gracefully pulled her mink cape around her shoulders and stepped toward her chauffered imported car. "Everybody has been so wonderful," she smiled. "Everybody's sorta happy when you can work your way out of something." of Altoona were supper guests of Charles McCall and daughter Marie Saturday Archie Traxler is a patient in the Lewistown Hospital.

The light was kind to the trailer park as a shaded lamp is kind to an aging woman's face, accentuating the eyes, concealing the sagging muscles and the lines that stamp it. There were only two trailers in the park aside from Daggett's. The sudden flare of a match, the glow of a cigaret, consternation.

Somewhere oenny." His eyes were accusing. "She must have heard what you said about not wanting her to go along." Daggett sat turning the note over and over. He was deeply worried and more upset than he wanted Greg to know. The younger man found himself on he defensive. And he too was worried.

Hannah was a long vay from home and friends, a ong way from anyone who would lend a helping hand to a itranded girl. "She must be crazy to pull a stunt like this!" Greg exclaimed. "She is still battered by what lappcncd to her at that fair," Jaggett said.
