HAL | BOYLE SAYS By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK # — The slender man with the white shock of hair looked up from his news desk to the clock on the wall. He pulled off his green eyeshade for the last time, and his unlined boyish face and blue eyes broke into a shy grin clock was saying goodbye to the men around | him at the end of another working day — it was saying goodbye to oh at the close of his working ma was a pleasant “30” on the job for Sam Ochiltree, retiring at 65 after spending 10 years as a telegrapher and 36 years as a re- porter and news editor. “In this business you hurry all your life, don’t you?” he on “That is what will seem from now on. I will never hone re hurry again.” Hollywood never discovered Sam Ochiltree. It isn’t interested. in him and that’s bad. For his life story would make a wonderful film. But how could Hollywood dramatize a man whom no one can remember ever lifting his voice, saying a word in anger, or =< criticizing another human be- ? One of Sam’s first tasks as a telegrapher here in 1906 was to handle messages on the great San Francisco earthquake and fire. On his final day he edited Associated Press dispatches about a war in a place he’d never been — Korea. In between he helped cover or edit stories on most of th great news events of the century. ~The constant acquaintance with disaster and the follies of human flesh that make some newsmen cynical never robbed Sam of his ‘warm and steady sense of brother- hood. His last hours on the job he spent breaking-in his successor— who is 21. ¢ “He's a bright kid,” said Sam. “Picks up things fast.” Sam then went across the street to an office party in his honar, and as he is a modest man this was something of an ordeal. They gave him a shaving kit, a leather-cov- ered clock, and a fine suitcase for a trip to London he is planning. rT ae up the shiny suitcase, Sam — ought to even get me by St. Peter without a passport.” The next day Sam and | met for lunch, and he gently objected to some of the ideas people have about retirement. “People who other people regard as old don’t feel that way,” he said. “Oldness isn’t a particular feeling — you feel the same, but you just get tired sooner, Old peo- ple have the same feeling as young people. That is why they some- times make fools of themselves.” For some reason people think when a man retires he has to have a hobby — something to drive him like a madman to make things out of wood. “I have plenty of interests. For example, one of my friends is a religious editor who doesn’t — in religion. I have been trying convince him of the value eps Pray- er. Also, 1 would like to get him ‘to start going to church.” Sam married at 19 — the same year he became a telegrapher— and still goes home to the same Lead Nation In Harvested Oranges WASHINGTON ® — Fiorida’s Polk and Orange counties lead the nation in tons of oranges harvested despite the fact they haven’t as many trees as Orange County, California, The census bureau reported Mon- day that studies in 1950 showed California’s Orange County had 5,- 354,880 orange trees, for top rank in the nation. Polk County, Florida, was second in trees with 4,627,475 and Orange | County, Florida, fifth with 3,333,- | 895. Los Angeles and San Bernard- ino Countes in California were third and fourth. But, the bureau pointed out, in tons of fruit harvested in 1949, Polk County was far out in front with 638,468 tons. Florida’s Orange County was second with 455,198 tons, just nosing out California’s Orange County with 455,068. Judge Rules erint Buie TAVARES #— An information Sanford, charged with attempting to bribe a state wildlife officer to permit unlawful seining in Lake | Apopka last April, was quashed Monday by Circuit Judge T.

Judge Futch said the quashed in- formation failed to give any of- fense or crime under state laws. grandsons. “You notice how many men who live to be old have remained with the wife of their youth — like Winston Churchill,” he said. “That is a splendid life: For people to grow old together.” Not that Sam has any idea he is old yet. He recalled that when Abraham Lincoln left Springfield for Washington he spoke of coming there as a young man and said that now he was an old man. “Yet the greatest part of his life was ahead of him,” said Sam. “What a wonderful newspaperman Abraham Lincoln would have made!” STRUNK LUMBER YARD | Advises ...

And because of that spirit of charity America is known over the whole world to be the first to give a helping hand to someone who needs it more then themselves. And it is also strange to note that the American people who make this charity live day by day are not ' the overwhelmingly rich people. On ; the whole they are the in-betweens, neither rich nor poor, who give their time and money however they can spare it and where ever it is needed. Here in Key West during these last few days we have watched American charity at its finest. When Mrs. Inez Scott’s home burned to the ground on a Thurs- day night all her life’s work went with it. Yet she and her baby girl hadn’t been destitute for more then a few hours when some woman, probably as hard working and poor . as Mrs. Scott herself, sent over a box of worn clothes saying,“I know she will need these now.” And all the thing that Americans stand for and have fought and died to keep are reflected in those be- autiful words of charity...‘‘give these to her, I know that she will need them now.” Also typically American is the fact that, to this day, Mrs. Scott does not know who needed it so badly. To give with- out reward and without thanks is perhaps the finest gift that one per- son can make to another. And so now we are going to ask you to make the same kind of gift. We want you to send money to the Inez Scott fund, money for which you probably will never be thanked, money that only God will see and reward. We need money in order to buy lumber with which Mrs. Scott’s friends will build aj, room for her adjoining her father’s | house. We realize that in America we} do not need to go door to door | begging for money for worthy causes, all we have to do is to ask. And so we ask for your contribu- tions in order to help give Mrs. Scott a chance to begin to live as her hard work nas entitled her to live. We cannot believe that $300 is too much to ask for in order to buy nope and cour- age and a better way of life for a fellow American. ‘ Every year Key Westers send hundreds of dollars to other count- ries and other causes, so now it is a fitting time that we look to our own country and to our own cause.
