A DOG's HERITAGE
PLACERVILLE, Calif., (A) _
A poor dog was taken in by sym-
pathetic neighbors after the death
of his owner, Mrs. Marguerita
Morgan.. Later it was learned
Mrs. Morgan had bequeathed $5,-
000 to her Cairn terrier, Chief
Dhu Jon. In disposing of Mrs.
Morgan's estate, Superior Judge
Thomas Maul gave custody of the
dog, no longer poor, to the neigh-
bors, Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Allen.

per cent for the emergency live-
stock loans. Farrington said the
higher' interest is being charged
for the livestock loans because
they will be larger and will car-
ry more risks from the govern-
ment's standpoint.
Farrington said that loan com-
mittees will be set up where
needed. In Texas, for example,
the department will set up prob-
ably three or four loan commit-
tees with headquarters in major
cities, and distressed areas.

the President yesterday. It is
aimed at helping farmers main-
tain livestock operations despite
local feed shortages and depres-
sed livestock prices.
Eisenhower’s request was made-
in a letter to Speaker Martin
(R-Mass).
R. L. Farrington, acting direc-
tor of the Agriculture Depart-
ment’s agricultural credit ser-
vices, said a request for funds is
now at the budget bureau and
should be approved there in a
day or so. It will then go to
Congress.
Farrington said the department
expects to have set up in distress
areas, particularly in the drought-
stricken Southwest, in a week or
10 days to begin processing loan
applications.
Loans of $2,500 or more will be
extended to established produc-
ers and feeders of cattle, sheep
and goats who have what the
loan committees consider to be
a “reasonable chance" of working
out of their financial difficulties,
but who cannot obtain funds
they need from other credit
sources,
A farmer may obtain a loan
even though his current debts are
larger than his current assets if
the loan committee believes he
has a reasonable chance of ulti-
mately paying off his debts and
being able to continue in the
business.
Farrington said the loan com-
mittees will be instructed

plicant’s past record.

WHAT I AM TRYING TO SAY is that those lists are nice but in-
complete. For more mature and diverting pastimes, you might try
driving crosstown in an automobile, which will fill two hours with
amiable memories; strolling through the quaint, provincial streets of
the lower East Side. ducking the flying bottles; going for a ride on
the Long Island railroad (and hoping you get there, a real thrill):
riding the subway for a few hours at rushtime when it is at Its
odoriferous best—or worst—and so on and on and on.
If worst comes to worst, you could go to one of these teen-age can-
teens. I guess, but if you do, don't forget your switch-blade knife. A

Mel Heimer of an air-cooled saloon and down to the square
dancing, these items might conceivably bo fun.'
However, somehow they have a theoretical air about them. They
don’t seem real. They seem like pursuits of the same towering Im-
portance as pin the donkey's tail played at a party of college seniors,
all of whom are nursing the rather warped ambition of getting out
to the kitchen and enjoying a slug of beer or gin.
I have one of these lists of summer adventures at my elbow now/
and I think I can improve on it here and there. For instance, this
one tells you that if you want some good free music you should go to
the Mall in Central Park four nights a week at 8:30. This is good
advice and true. However, you get only music. If you want embel-
lishments, my private tip is to head for a couple of joints in and
around Broadway called Birdland and The Bandbox.
This is where the jazzy ones and the bopmen go for their kicks/
and if you can avoid being mouse-trapped by valve trombones and
hot marimbas, you will see countless specimens of those shaking, eyes-'
. closed, hit-me-with-a-riff-Miff souls, always fascinating, as they'
mumble their Gregorian chants about the drummer being cool, gone,
really sent and absolutely the most. One has a chance to study, er-*'
| well, a kind of music, and simultaneously do some archaeological re:
search. ....
FOR SOCIALITES, WE ARE ADVISED that Jones Beach has
dancing each night in the week. You could go there, I suppose, but
personally I would suggest instead a visit to a Third avenue gin mill
named Clarke's, which once had a poor-but-honest clientele but of
recent years has housed a startling collection of cafe society per-
sonalities, untalented authors, frustrated editors who take to throw-
ing punches at one another when life is dull, after carefully removing
their glasses and being pointed by friends in the direction of the foe.
In the last few weeks, I learn, Clarke's has been invaded by young
bloods wearing Berumda walking shorts—which would be laudable if
you wern’t. quite sure they were doing it for publicity or as an
affectation.
You might take the ferry to Staten Island, as the list says, but if
you really want a few laughs, why not instead just grab a bench in
' one of the dark sections of Central Park and watch the muggers as
they waylay foolish passersby and strip them of money, jewels and,
occasionally, pants?
This is one of the chief extracurricular pastimes of young New
York men, and if you are lucky you might even be mugged yourself,
a summer adventure that will give you much more to talk about, back
home in Goose Creek, than a simple ferry to Staten Island. If you can
talk.
If you are a beautiful girl, you could go dancing in Prospect park,'
Brooklyn, on Friday nights, as the list proposes. I recommend a more
educational outing—a visit to the Bowery where you will be aston-
ished and possibly irritated to learn that there are men to whom
pretty women do not exist. You can swish along like Jane Russell
for blocks, only to see the citizens turn away from you and toward
their cheap little bottles of wine. If you are the thoughtful type, you
might meditate a moment on the probability that a woman like your-
self likely sent them Bowery-wards in the first place. .
After you leave the Bowery, saddened and disappointed, however,
just give me a ring at the office and I'll take you out for a Singapore
sling and tell you how beautiful you are, a cheering-up service I am
almost always glad to provide. I never could figure out the attitude
of those Bowery guys.
