PRESENTING AL ME LINGER
THIS COLUMN haa many patrons, customers and
friends even if our readers may be small in number.
Not among the list of these is the talented, hand-
aome and scholarly A1 Melinger.
We have said on occasion that it wa* lucky for
Baytown when A1 Melinger breezed into the city to
make his home here.
And you will realize how grateful I am to him
on this occasion when he drops into the offiSe with
a column about his favorite .subject—the Commun-
ity Cheat, which he heads this year as president.
We are happy to give you the one and only A1
Melinger, who deposeth as follows.
AL STARTS OUT , , ,
A FEW NIGHTS ago in one of television’* revivals
of ancient movies there moved across the screen a
rarity—one of the fine pictures of a generation
ago. “Of Mice and Men,” John Steinbeck's moving
documentary of depression days was a motion pic-
ture classic of iU kind. And in it was the poignant
incident of a tired, arthritic old man, his lifetime
of work as a ranch hand behind him, now reduced
to hopeless errand running. In the bunk house one
night the oldster recalled a time when as a young
buck he had gone into a nightclub where he blew
his whole month's pay for a cigarette and a shot of
bourbon delivered by a beautiful waitress wearing
•tights.

THIRTY BUfKS just for that!" ejaculated one
of the listeners. The old man's head nodded. "Ah
reckon Ab've had a million paydays,” he recalled
wistfullyy. "And don't remember none of ’em.” His
smile was rapturous. "But Ah'll never forgit that
night."
REDUCED TO FIGURES
MOST OF us have forgotten individual pay days,
too, in the endless stretch of routine wage-earning.
LOOKING AT LIFE
ONE OF MY readers up in Muskegon, Mich,, wants
to know why I never write anything about eats.
Don't I like cats? Don't T think they are much
smarter than dogs, much cleaner, much nicer all
around ?
Well, I am not going to get myself Into any con-
troversy about cats and dogs when I nave refused
' " the Re-
etter one.
say here is that i can taxe cqts or
leave them, that I have no prejudice cither for or
against them and that when one of my friends re-
cently named a kitten Erich (he said it looked like
me) I felt duly honored although not deeply moved.
Now when we go to visit that friend and his wife
calls "Erich,” I never know whether it’s me or the
cat she means.
I JUST READ an article entitled "Are All Animal
Lovers Such Fussy People?”
The author, aptly named Henrietta Hitchcock, Is
apparently a great cat lover and her sentiments
about cats may answer my reader from Muskegon.
Incidentally, I promise you that this will be the
first and last time I’ll ever write about cats—that
is. feline ones.
The author say* that she feels about cats just as
she does about people. She likes some better than
others.
Also, she says, she likes black and white cats
best. They remind her of gentlemen in evening
dress, black-coated with white faces and tummies
and paws.
"Fortunately I get many letters from cat owners,”
she says, "who tell me of the charming ways of
their pets and of the great consolation afforded by
MY NEW YORK
Van Fleet severely criticized the Truman admin-
istration decision to restrict the fighting In Korea
by staying off Chinese soil. This decision was op-
posed by MacArthur, and President Truman fired
him for comments less strong than some of those
Van Fleet made.
The MacArthur ouster was gone into extensively
by Senate investigating units. There is speculation
at present over whether Jenncr will wish to go over
' this same ground. He is Interested according to hi*
own statements, only in "Internal security” aspects
of the matter.

We work 50 weeks a year, 40 hours a week. That’l
2,000 hours a year.
DOWN TO CASES
THIS YEAR Baytown’s United Fund budget can
be reached if the average danor givea eight hours'
pay to his Red Feather solicitor That's one day per
year. Some will be unable, for various reasons to
give that much. Others may afford much more. But
the average can be eight hours of pay-one day
per year.
•YOU FIGURE IT OUT
FIGURE OUT your own hourly wage. You'll get
pay for 2,000 hours this year. Most of it will go for
the necessities of living. You’ll forget it soon like
John Steinbeck’s old cowhand. But the other eight
hour* can be remembered every time you pass a
spastic child who is being given a chance at nor-
malcy through the therapy of a Red Feather agen-
cy.
MONEY'S WORTH GUARANTEED
YOU'LL remember the eight hour* whenever you
read of a Baytown GI flying half-way across the
wori dto see a dying parent—your eight hours' pay
helped the Red Cross cut red tape on a global er-
rand of mercy.
MORE OF THE SAME
YOU'LL SEE your eight hours reflected In the
faces of school children who would be hungry ■
without your Thrift Exchange program. You may
see your eight hours pay off when a friend or
neighbor is stricken by disaster and his family I*
fed and housed and carried through crisis by one
of the agencies you helped support.
DECIDE FOR YOURSELF
LOOK AT eight hours pay. Then decide if it's a
good- buy for your share of the community's respon-
sibility to its own unfortunates.

PERHAPS I have misjudged that eat which has
been sitting in our backyard watching the birds and
trying to catch them. Perhaps it wasn't she at all
that caught some of these birds whose feathers I
saw lying all over the ground.
But for some reason that aelf-same cat takes it

at least to me she looks as If she Has a very guilty

Frankly I cannot say that I am over-fond of cats,

NEW YORK — If you-all out on the prairies want
to know what we in Cosmopolis have- been up to
lately, well, the truth of the matter is that bingo
has been overshadowing everything else in New
York for some little time now.
I figure that this should be splendid news to those
worried citizens who are not quite' sure that the
last war was the one to end all wars and have been
waiting for some sign that the world is normal
again, the way flagpole-sitting provided such a sign
a few years after the first war to end all wars.
Soon the gold-fish-eaters should return and there
we will be, all tight and secure again.
L’affaire bingo reared its head a few weeks back
when a sub-police chief, apparently in whimsical de-
fiance of an unwritten order, shut down a few bin-
games here. While he was enforcing the law,
ingo is illegal gambling, the cop wa*
demoted in rank, told to stand in the corner and
doubtlessly warned that every bone in hi* body
would be broken if he tried to enforce that law
again.
