THE PARIS NEWS, WEDNESDAY, JAN. 2, 1952 Midget Realiy Feels the High Cost of Living By SAUL PETT NEW YORK Ever stop to think about the high cost of living for a midget? A midget eats less, wears less, occupies less valuable space in this world of carefully apportioned spaces, but it frequently costs the HUlo fellow more to maintain himself than it does the average man. True, a family-man midget who eats in will spend less on food. But bachelor midget, like 40-year-old George Day, who eats out, always pays for more than he can cat. Too embarrassed to ovder children's portions, he has the full blue-plate special, eats only half, pays full price.

Day, who stands three feet, seven must have all his suits tnilor made. $125 SUITS "I never get by for less thin $125 or S140 a suit these days," he says. "The tailor and I always hnve the same argument. I argue that he uses Jess two and a half yards for me, about four and a half for the normal-sized It never does me any good." Because he wants to dress like an adult, not like a child, Day wears custom-made shirts costing between $6 and $10 and custom- made shoes between 518 and $30 He wears boys' socks, boys'-under wear, boys' gloves, hats and ties Day has to pay full price for cleaning a suit, getting a haircut traveling on trains, planes or bus es. At home, he requires custom made chairs; furniture too uncomfortable.

However, he comfortable in a normal-sized )Dd. LITTLE THINGS The so-cniled little things in life aren't little enough for Day. He uses ladles' handkerchiefs and a small custom-made to have. Since he can't get custom- made money, he has to use a nor- nal size wallet which bulges out his small back pocket. He needs a stool to reach the washstand and stooi for the re- rigerator.

He has to stretch mightily for a light switch or coin box In a subway. If there is no one to help him, he has to chin ilmself to drop letter Into a mat )OX. For exercise, ho cycles on a child's 20-Inch two-wheeler, wltl wooden blocks on the pedals. Like most midgets, he is afraid crowds of non-midgets and avoids traveling In rush hours. He "hate people touching his head." He to be the last man in an eleva tor to nvold being crushed.

Between occasional television ap pcarances, Day and two other mid gets tour and food market fir cereal company. They dres and perform os three bears name "Dandy, Handy and Candy." In England, Day was mnrrle nine years to a woman five fee nino inches tall. They separatee he said, because she objected nil the traveling he did with cir CUBCB and theatrical troupes.
