budget H-SU would receive
from the Convention for general
operations in. 1961 $213274.67. It
would also receive ministerial aid

porthole trips around the world.
Twenty-three countries have felt
Dan's footprints. The little eyes
have studied Asia Europe Aus-
tralia the Indies the Americas.
This type of nothing that has
occupied Dan's time was sand-
wiched between his duties of
making sandwiches and the "other
foods served aboard steamshiDs.
h -After his years in foreign
lands about which the . average
American dreams Dan is content
and happiest back in the U. S. A.
He has seen much of this coun-
try also. He put his culinary
talents to use aboard a train and
visited the United States.
"If I had to move I'd take
Australia. It's most like Amer-
ica. Those Sydney people are
lovely folks."
The Australians ancestors don't
contain the same appeal for Dan.
The "limey" conservatism was too
much for him. Adding the cli-
mate makes England the choice
of the "doer of nothing" as the
least likeliest to succeed in luring
him from the United States.
Joining the armed forces may
have prevented Dan from seeing
more of the world instedd of the
widely advertised seeing of the
world. Joining the occupational
forces the cook found himself as-
signed to Fort Knox Kentucky.
He got no further away than does
the gold.
"Right now" he exclaimed op-
timistically "I'm settled down
here in Abilene and love every
minute of it.

in Abilene for fourteen years
seven of which were slpent cook-
ing for a local restaurant. This

to fulfill his definition of noth-
