"The world hasn't came to an And though it is only drizzling in Centerville, the sun may be shining in Hampton." "That could be," added Mrs. Husted who knew how her son felt. Juan Segorino, the famous tenis star, had promised 1 to give a tennis lesson at the Hampton Beach Club. "You might as well start out now," suggested Mrs.

Husted. BOYS "But drive slowly, On days like this accidents can happen. And it it is still raining. I am certain Mr. Segorino will give you 8 lesson on another day.

He is going to be at the Beach Club for three weeks." Paul Husted and Arthur Zorn left the house and then entered the car outside. They drove to the corner, turned left on Main Street and went straight for half a mile. It still was. drizzling. Then they turned right on Maple Street.

Suddenly the car ahead came to dead stop. Just in time Arthur Zorn applied the brakes to avoid a collision. There was 8 man on the ground the first car. A woman gat out of the car. At the same time.

two men 'got out at a car that was parked on the side of the street. "We saw it all," said one of the men. "You ran right into this man. John, go to the corner and call the police.

GIRLS U.S., British Bobby-Soxers Among Alan Dean Fans RY JOEY BASSO ENGLAND suffered a great loss one of her native sons and finest talents decided to try his luck in the country known AS "the land of opportunity." Alan Dean was a favorite with the bobby-soxers in his native country, and he is fast becoming a big favorite with the teenage brigade in the United States, When Alan first arrived in America he had only planned on staying for a few short months, never realizing that he would be kept so busy that he wouldn't have the time to return to England. He had hoped to make enough connections In America so that he could perhaps, play a few clubs and theater dates.

However, he gained Immediate recognition with his different sounding voice. The public and the press both acclaimed Alan as a new singing star, with a fine set of pipes, a personable manner of speech, and the much needed charm some performers seem to lack. Within a tew short months he was recording for MGM Records, fortunately getting the right songs to record. ALAN about began to ten sing when old he in years his church choir. But actually it was the accordion that made him a prominent musical in England.

As a result of working with an amateur band he won a regular engagement at the Cuba Club. Ile earned many awards as one of Great Britain's top jazz accordionists long before he switched to singing professionally, He resumed his singing with an engagement at the Nuthouse Club in London. There he was heard by a popular bandleader named Harry Roy, who asked him to join his band as the featured vocalist. Upon leaving the Roy band, he joined Oscar Rabin's band and toured Europe. In 1946, Alan joined the Ambrose orchestra, which is aS popular in England as the Guy Lombardo band is in America.

In 1949, he went out on his own as a single, and thus slarted his rapid rise up the ladder to become England's number one singer. His tremendous popularity with the English fans resulted in his winning the Melody Maker jazz poll for three consecutive years. Leonard Fealher, one of our most outstanding jazz critics, caught Alan's act when he went to England and suggested that he come to America and try to bit the bigtime here.

BY IRBY COOPER ONCE upon a time, it says in (ne basketball storybook, team traveled about the county in a broken-down jalopy. It was 3 good team, composed of agile young Negro atbletes who could do things with a basketball that you would never think possible.

But this team, as good as it was, also was a very hungry team. For, you see, playing in barns and on outdoor courts and in old rickety-rackety gymnasiums it was forced to take what it could get to play. And often this was no more than five dollars game. This team was named---more for the sake of publicity than truth--the Harlem Globetrotters. Certainly they didn't feel like globetrotters after splitting five dollars nine ways.

And when they climbed into their old car (after a tew hours of repair work on motor or tires) they wondered even more about the accuracy of their name. Things are different today, however. For now, 26 years later, the Harlem Globetrotters represent one of the greatest shows the sports or entertainment world knows. Today the tearn is million dollar business--an enterprise known from one end of the earth to the other. Today this team plays in the most modern, the most beautiful gymnaslums in the world -in America, In Europe, In Asia, In Australia, in South America, in Africa, They've been everywhere, -they've earned their Globetrotters nickname.

They attract crowds of 50,000 fans, people who want to see basketball at Its best and ball mixed with humor at Its best. Today, dollars nine Instead of splitting after each ways game, the Trotter players earn from $500 to $2500 a month each. One -the fabulous Goose Tatum, the ciown prince of the team-earns close to $40,000 a year, nearly twice as much as the highest paid player in the No. I professional basketball league. DO GET SERIOUS WHAT is it that people love about these clowns of the court? "You can't explain it, you just marvel at them," said one coach, who was captivated by a colorful performance by the Trotters.

But you can explain it. You can say that they make a basketball come alive. They make it lank as though the ball were controlled by radar. You can say Magic Trick You Can Have A Magic Eye Tear strips of paper from a large sheet so that there are only two pieces with smooth edges. These will be the one plece from the top of the paper and the one piece from the bottom.

Pass out slips of paper and while doing so ask each person to write the name of country on his paper with two exceptions. Ask the one who receives the top piece and the one who receives the bottom piece to write names states on their papers. Have players told the papers in half and mix therm well in a hat. Use your magic eye to select the papers which contain names of stales. No one will know that you can tell them by the amooth edges of the papers, that the Trotters entertain the peoples of the world by playing brilliant basketball and by add.

ing the comic, the bumorous, the clever touch. They'll play footbail and baseball on the bail court they'll make their opponents so mad with their merry shenanigans that the oppouents will want to murder 'em, But not many opponents can murder the Globetrotters, Their 26 year record shows more than 4,500 victories, less than 300 losses, a percentage far better than .900. They fool around with their tricks all right, but they can get serious and play basketball that few teams can better. And annually they beat these allof all-star college players, top' stars from the college ranks. And anually they beat these allstars on the average of two games to one.

They've sometimes been criticized for "making a travesty of the game." Once the remarks of a Canadian team along this line considerably irked the Trotters. So they played it straight and beat the Canadians 122-20. But tolks don't turn out by the thousands to see 'em play it straight. They want to see Goose Tatum, whose arms spread out seven feet, hide the ball on top ot an opponent's head. They want to see Marques Haynes dribble five or aLx minutes at a time while standing, sitting or lying fat on his back.

His mates usually sit down and read newspapers while he controls the ball with his brilliant dribbling. PLAY CITIES 1. Draw a map of the United States on WRAPPING PAPER about 18 in. wide and 28 inches long. MAP.
