The Evening Sun Wednesday, July 12. 1972 DON'T SAY DRUG DRUG NEW YORK (AP) Some people on rainy afternoons like to go to the bank, take out their safe-deposit boxes and count their stocks and bonds They come home pleased that nothing is missing. like to be able to do that with my socks. In fact, for some time I've been thinking of doing just that- renting a safe-deposit box at the bank to keep my supply of socks intact. The only reason 1 don't rent the safe-deposit box is that I don't trust banks that much.

1 think they can build a bank vault big enough or strong enough to keep out the mysterious predator who has been preying on my socks for as long as I can remember The problem of vanishing socks has been bothering me since early childhood. As the sleepiest of four staircase Irish sons, I was the last to get up usually to find only one sock remaining to put on. The culprit who made off with the missing sock was never apprehended, and the whole matter is a family mystery to this day. My oider brother stoutly denies that he put on three socks just to confuse me. In any case I was known in the neighborhood as One a nickname I came to despise One of the reasons I was glad to grow up and get a college degree was my thought that no one would dare try to steal socks from anyone that educated.

But that proved to be an illusion. Since then, through a major depression, a world war. a long boom, inumerable riots, and travel in some .67 countries, someone or something has been rustling my socks. I believe this is a world record of some kind. Do you know any other person who has had at least one sock stolen from him in 67 countries? For some time I thought the guilty party must be footed.

as usually he took onlv one of a of socks, but I recall aat my life has been dogged by any individual hopping along after me on a single foot. Anyway, his modus operandi has changed lately Now he takes my socks haphazardly-sometimes just one, sometimes both iheother rainy afternoon I spent a couple of hours inventorying my sock drawer. It was with some satisfaction that I noted I had 45 matching pairs of socks I could now wear a fresh change of socks every day for a whole month and a half without having to rush to the laundry. That may not be much of a claim to fame for a man my age, but looky here, smarty, you go and count how many pairs of socks you have in your socks drawer, and bet you wipe that smirk off your face pretty fast What gave me some sorrow, however, was to note that ini addition to the 45 pairs of socks I had left over seven single matching socks. Some problems a man in this life simply has to face all alone Chess Tales NEW YORK (AP) The in suited egos and white-knuckled tensions before the Fischer- Spassky chess match may have seemed to be a blazing battle, but pale beside the tales- of bloodthirsty games in Medieval Iceland.
