HAL BOYLE SAYS By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK #—Wilbur Peeble, America’s average citizen, thought it was the break of a lifetime when an old friend gave him two tickets to the World Series. He wasn’t so sure, however, when his wife said she wouldn't let him go to the big city without her. Wilbur knew that Trellis Mae's knowledge of baseball consisted of a dim conviction that a batter was something you stirred up in a kitchen. “T'll take you on one condition— that you don’t bother me with a single question during the entire game,” he Said. She agreed. But the day of the game Trellis Mae insisted he leave the hotel and accothpany her on a shopping tour. They missed lunch and got to the ball park in the inning. “They oughtn’t to allow women” fumed Wilbur, as they sat down in their seats in the upper stand near the right field foul pole. Trellis Mae turned her batk on him and confided to,a beefy, red- nosed Dodger fan next to her: . “My husband won't let me talk to him, Will you tell me what is the real object of this game?” “Well, it's—it’s to get the most |; runs,” said the fan. “What are they standing. there for then? Why don’t they all'start running?” As the fan’s jaw dropped, Trel- lis Mae said, “When do they take their naps?” 4 on “Isn't that what those cute little white pillows are for?” she asked, pointing at the base bags. Next she wanted to know if it wouldn't dress up the game if they used lady umpires, then-she scribbled a postcard saying, “Scenery won- derful—Wish you were here,” and demanded, ‘“Where’s the mail- box?” The red nose of her neighbor turned a mottled blue. Bored, Trellis Mae started watch- ing the metal foul pole as it swayed back and forth in the wind. Soon she felt nauseated. “Wilbur, I'm seasick,” she said. “But nobody ever got seasick at a baseball game. It’s impos- sible.’ “Well, Tam. It must be because PRESIDENTIAL RACE By The Associated Press Gov.

Dwight I didn’t eat. You'd better go get me a hot dog or you'll be awfully sorry.”’ Wilbur went. A great roar rose from the crowd a moment later. When Wilbur scrambled back, the red-nosed man said: “Johnny Mize just poled one into the stands—a good one.” “You mean,” said Wilbur broken- ly, “I missed the only chance of my life to see Mize knock a home run?” “I missed it myself. Your wife was bending my ear.” “It went right in front of us,” said Trellis Mae. “You could almost count the stitches.” She took the hot dog and objec- ted, “You forgot the mustard, dear. I just can’t eat it without mustard.” Too stunned to protest, Wilbur went back for the mustard. The Dodger fan leaned over and whisp- ered something to Trellis Mae. She looked surprised, then nodded her head. Trellis Mae ate her hot dog, then pulled out a sheet of paper and silently began to make out her Christmas shopping list. She never even looked out again at the play- ing field. As they, filed out at the end of the game the red-nosed man grudg- ingly drew a bill from his pocket and put it in her hand. “Pll bet you don’t even know who won,” said Wilbur glumly. “I did.” “You did?” 2 “Sure,” said Trellis Mae, “that red-nosed fellow bet me $5 I couldn't keep my mouth shut for the rest of the game. Wait here a minute, Wilbur.” She loped away and returned 15 minutes later breathlessly lugging a ball -bat. “He didn't want to give it to me at first,” said Trellis Mae, “But I told him he would need a new one next year anyway.” Surprised, her husband took the bat, then reverently read the in- scription: “To Wilbur, one to remember, (signed) Johnny Mize.” As Wilbur gratefully bent to kiss her, Trellis Mae murmured: “T tried to get you one of those little white pillows for a souvenir too, but some darned fool had tied them all down.” John J. Sparkman, the Democratic viee-presidential nominee, cam- National Gonsraiphie Shows By Flash Bulb CO-INVENTOR OF AQUALUNG DESCRIBES TRIP UNDER RED SEA By SUSAN MCAVOY “The best way to observe fish is | to become a fish. And the best way | to “-eome a fish - ora reasonable fac .mile thereof - is to don an u_ .erwater breathing device called #e Aqualung.” This is the lead of the 41 page article with 50 pictures in the Octo- ber National Geogrpahic Magazine by the co-inventor of the Aqualung, Capt. Jacques-Yves Cousteau. Consteau who has been an under- | water man for years experimented until be found a way to devise a self-comtained breathing apparatus. Emile Gagnan, also of France de- signed the “lung” which is now in use by the Navy, by civilian sport ‘spearfisherman, and by underwater photographers, Though it permits a diver to breath in depths as great as 300 | feet, it’s optimum operating level is no lower than 210, Couteau says in the article. To go farther ex- Poses a diver “‘not merely to in- creased pressure ( with its subse- quent problems of decompression on the way up) but to a phe- nomenon known as “the rapture of the depths’.” The latter is a form of intoxica- tion which begins with mild elation and grows to ectasy. “Below 330 feet the Aqualunger may pass out, lose his mouthpiece and drown,” says Costeau. The chief feature of the 41 page lead artice, however, is not the Aqualung which is in common usage among spearfisherman from Key West to Cassis, France, but the magnificent underwater color Photography, taken chiefly in the Red Sea. Not satisfied with underwater Pictures near the surface where the sun provides ample light, Cousteau ,and his colleagues determined to take pictures in 150 feet and lower depths where there is little light. He wanted to capture the brilliant colors of sea life, Housing the camera in safety was one problem. “Our principal problem, of course, was always one of light, The most powerful flash bulbs we could obtain gave an il- lumination of some 5,000,000 lumens | about 400,000 candle power,”’ Cous- , teau writes. | “When we took~our underwater Photographs on the Calpyso ex- | pedition, we usually employed four | Aqualung divers - one to man the camera, two to carry the lights, and one to act as subject.” Cousteau said that he would ex- plode the “slow peak” bulbs and trip the camera. | “The darkness,” he said ‘would | flower for a long instant into blind- jing light, a light that had never | dwelt on this particular cross sec- | tion of marine life since the seas | were formed; then all would be gtay afd shadowy once more. We would blink our eyes, mutter ‘I think the color was there, all right’ ; and return to our world above.” Capt. Cosuteau will publish a book “The Silent World” next Feb- Tuary. Co-author is Frederic Du- mas who accompanied Coysteau and the other divers on the Red Sea expedition. | Excess this month | Total this’ year pee ae aha | R.

He CITY FATHERS ASK (Continued From Page One) sailors from the same ship, they hesitated before making an ar- rest, since they did not want to get their “friends in trouble.” Action Deferred Action on a “quit-claim” deed for the city-owned land adjoin- ing the Poinciana Elementary school ran into a snag, when the commission voted to defer action, pending an investigation into the terms of the deal by city man- ager Dave King. Earlier the commission had agreed to grant the land to the Monroe County School board for use as a recreation area, but last night they were agreed that they should get something in return, since in the future, they will have to provide a park for the residents of Poinciana and the land near the school is the last remaining city property in that area, Bottom Land Attorney Julius Stone appear- ed before the commission last night, asking their approval for the purchase of approximately one acre of bottom land near his home at the foot of Whitehead street. Stone said that he wanted the water-filled land for his own protection and that he did not intend to build on it. Earlier the commission had protested the sale of the land and last night they agreed to with- draw their protest to the Internal Improvement Commission, pav- ing the way for Stone’s purchase of the land from the State of Florida. Tax Protest A letter from L. P. Artman, Jr., publisher of the Florida Keys Star, to the commissioners, was read before the group, protesting what he termed an unfair tax assessment. The City Fathers moved to ask City Tax Assessor Sam Pinder to be present at the next meeting of the commission to investigate the alleged mis- taken assessment. Sewer Financing City Manager King, in a report on his conferences with the Regional office of the Housing and Home Finance Agency in Atlanta. regarding the financing of Key West's sewer system ini- provements, said that he expects “action within three or four weeks” on the financing. The government is expecting to kick in with $1,100,000 while the city will contribute $850,000 for the much needed work on the sewer system. Monument Commissioner Eisner moved that the City Manager set aside a sum of money for contribution to the Gold Star Mothers fund for the construction of a monu- ment to Key West's war dead in Bayview Park, The resolution was adopted unanimously.
