DREAM BALL FOR DUFFERS PONDERED BY FREDERIC | H. ATWOOD AP Features | PORT WASHINGTON, N. Y.,: Feb. 17.—The commercial pos-! sibilities cf a no-slice, no-hook If ball are being ponderdd “by, ederic H. Atwood, y Like many great disc®wefies, | this‘ one sprang full-fl aot | from Atwood’s brain, but@frdm. under the wheels of a mowing machine. At least that’s how Atwood supposes the golf ball he picked up last summer on the Toytown Tavern golf course near Winch- endon, Mass., gct streamlined. It was in fact very much the shape of a tear drop. Just for fun Atwood teed off with it and. strange to re- late, it flew straight as an ar- row. Additional experiments showed that. swing as he would, the streamlined golf ball followed a bee-line. After trying it out to his own satisfaction, Atwood passed the ball along to John A. Hunt, a former golf professional at the club now with the U. S. army air service. From discreet in- quiries, Private Hunt uncovered the non-military secret that the tear-shape was responsible for the direct flight. Mr. Atwood points out that a player using such a_ ball for drives doubtless could get per- mission from fellow-players.. to | substitute a perfect spheroid on the putting greens. Of course, under tournament rules the ball could not be changed with- out penalty. ‘ At present. insofar Atwood cen see. there's not a single rule in the book to prevent the use of the stream- liner on the fairways. He agrees, though, that if anyone started manufacturing probably would make a quick | shift. But in the interim some ; fast operator might clean up. | Just now Mr. Atwood working in a war plant.

It is ob- + vious thabwith>¢ out food pro- duction there can be no arms Praduction, Men and wo- men must eat {9 produce mili; tary equipment for their fight- ing men. Fighting men. jikewise, must eat to fight. Therefore, up- on our food production the entire war machine depends. * As to this problem, one theory which Herbert Hoover recently presented is the following: “Sol- diers and sailors shouldybe fur- loughed wherever possible Ato as- sist farmers in planting and@uhar- vesting crops.” He also said, “In the last war, European armiég met the threat of famine by releasing troops for farm work to gyaran- e populations at least.a fraction food supply.” Mm may arise as iow, your men, drafted moth- of our natign, would feel about a plan like « They may ask, “Since civiliaf workers can ob- tain higher ‘wages in factories than on the farms and thereby are leaving the farms, why should we bear this burden in addition tothe fighting job?” Some time ago this column out- lined a plan, similar in some re- spects to that which Mr. Hoover suggested; and it has been request- te {ed that the plan should be given further discussion here. But first, let us bear in mind that wages must be sufficiently high to meet the high cost of liv- ing; that, when reaching this stage, the farmer apparently is unable to | pay his help what those high wages impose on him; that, because of ‘this, he is unable to produce the food our fighting men and civilians require to keep our war machine accelerated. Furthermore, to keep that war machine accelerated at top speed, both fighting men and producing men must be given equal consideration. Yet withal, the farmer must be given a tanta- mount consideration as well; that is, if we hope to win the war. Therefore it seems to me that a plan may ‘be worked out — by | those more closely associated with the problem than I — whereby the as Mr. ; early training of our men in wmi-, (SEAL) form could comprise farm work. With the herculean numbers of | men to be drafted, it would be simple to put the newly inducted ones to work on the farms — let | us say, for a period of six months. | to 2 on July 4 in the opener of the streamliners the rule makers!
