To The Titles "Let Middlecoff, Burke and he others have the titles. I'll iettle for the money." Thus did Ted Kroil, the man with the $100,000 golf swing, iescribe his feelings after win- wing the "World". title at ieorge S. May's Tam O'Shanter ourse, : bl This was about an hour aftep Kroll had received a check for $50,000 for .-using only '273 strokes to get around the spec- tator-lined Tam course, .and a contract for another $50,000 by making himself available for May-sponsored exhibitions dur- ing the coming year. "Money is money," the chunky player said with simple logic when asked i! he would trade this title for the National Open or National PGA crowns which he so narrowly missed winning this year, "lI was disappointed when 1 lost out on those two tiles and my wife had tears in her eyes both times when I came off the course, But I play this game for money and that $50,000 check today more than made up for 'hose near misses." Kroll had written the "hard luck" story of the sports year earlier this season. He needed four pars to beat Cary Middle- coff for the National Open crown bul took a triple-bogey seven on the 16th hole to finish in a tie for fourth. More recent- ly he led Jack Burke by three strokes after 19 holes «in the final of the PGA only to lose to ° Burke's red-hot putter, 3 and 2 Kroll's $50,000 contract with May calls for paid' in 26 equal installments over the coming 52 weeks. May has plans for exhibitions in such arcas as Central and America, Canada, Europe i(n- cluding Germany and Switzer- land), and Mexico. The husky Kroll bears a strik- ing recemblance to.Bing Crosby and, in fact, is often mistaken for Der Bingle. Ted grew up in New Hart- ford, Conn., and got his start in goll as a caddie. Wounded four times in the infantry in Italy and France,*he took a fling at' the winter tour in 1947 after he sot out of service. That first winter he earned £225. } Kvoll took the next three vears to get his name straigh- ened out. then went on the ournament Arail full-time in 1950 and earned $7,000. He's een at it every since but had aever won a major tournament "although he was twice on the JS. Ryder Cup team. The -crowd the final day - at Fam O'Shanter was announced = 61,000. In anv event the fair- ways were mobbed, to put it nildly. : "You had to be alert to the crowds but at the same time I felt they were pulling for me and it gave me a lift," said Ted, who was cheered at practically very turn on his way to a final- round 66 to tie Ben Hogan's 273 victory total set in 1951. Most. of the golfers, as they finished their rounds, {tossed their golf ball to the spectators seated in the stands surrounding the 18th green. When Kroll sunk a seven-foot birdie put on the final green to finish strokes and $40,000 ahead of run- ner-up Fred Hawkins, he waved his vellow cap, turned, and threw his golf ball to the mob still standing .on the 18th fair- wav "They had the guts to follow me out on the course," said the grafeful Mr. Kroll "I just want- ed to show them my apprecia- tion "" FASHION WITH A BELT -- Mos- sive half-belt on this coat might coma in handy to tie one's self fo a lamppost on gusty fall and winter days.

Thus when a super fails to make money on the bargains that pull vou into the store, it must see "to it that you also buy some high-profit merchandis> like candy, jellies, spices, gourmet items--and all non-foods. How is that done? You sell these things to voursels, You drift around the self- service super in a kind of trance. Touching, feeling, pick- "ig up the merchandise, you buy on impulse--far more la- vishly than in a clerk-manned store. The average supermarket customer makes seven unplan- ned, impulse purchases for ev- ery three planned purchases, a study of shopping -habits has shown, Have you ever gone into a supermarket for a pound of coffee and come out with two jars of olives, a new anchovy spredd and a gadget can-opéner as well? If so, you're only be- having normally in a market astutely designed tag urn your visit into a buying spree. For example: Bend down at the dairy case for eggs. Sudden- ly your eyes come level with jars of fresh Jruit salad, or cel- lophane - wrapped, . imported Swiss cheese. You can't resist sliding these high-markup deli- cacies info yur basket. Super- markets rarely make you stoop for impulse items; only for sta- ples. You steer around a corner and nearly collide with a red pyramid of tomato-ketchup bot- tles. Hypnotized by the mass display, you take a bottle--even though you may have had no notion of buying ketchup. Su- pers have found that any item erected into a solid display will sell perhaps ten# times faster than the same tym set out on regular shelves, Another stratafem is to spot certain - big-marlup items in several different places. Count how many times you see olives helped _ | | i "and candies "A new BATTLE OF THE STREET CORNERS -- Chicago Board of Health mobile inoculation team sets up on a street corner of the polio- stricken West Side ds the city fights to curb the outbreak before the peak of the polio season, which usually occurs in mid-Au- gust. Door-to-Door solicitation was used to bring people to the makeshift clinics as polio cases topped 600 in the city's worst siege of the disease. Previous worst season; 1952, with 170 cases totaled during the same period. of time. Hardest hit; chil- dren under five, with a ratio of 89.5 polio cases per 100,000 children, compared to a ratio of only 25.8 cases per 100,000 in children between the ages of five and 15 -- the group previously most inoculated with the Salk vaccine. HRONICLES JGiNGER FARM Gwendoline P.Clatke This has been the most insec- tivorous summer I ever remem- ber. Look where you will the air is full of bugs of some kind ---- things that hop, fly or crawl. Some that do all three. And I should know! Some kind of lit- tle black fly has nearly driven me crazy -- and I am the only one it biles. The flies are so small they can get through the screen netting. They have {tiny wings, they also hop and they are almost black. You wouldn't think anything so small could be as vicious. The aftermath of their bites has given me rest- less nights for the last fortnight --- except the last two nights and. then only because 1 have been buying and spraying in- on your next visit. You'll find them on the relish shelf, next to the cold cuts, the crackers, and near the hardware where male shoppers tend to be, Some markets bait the lowest shelves with cereals, cookies advertised on chil- dren's TV programs. When tod- dlers help themselves, harassed mothers often buy rather than risk tears. Aisles are ranged to direct you into sec- tions vou didn't intend to visit, tempting you to go on buying. One new supermarket has a bank of short diagonal aisles between the long front-to-rear shelves and the checkouts. You hit the diagonals and deflect in- to the main, food-packed corri- dors. Meat-selling frequently cgomes in for special attention. yw supers the chrome rail of the refrigerated meat, case is warm- ed just enough so vou can rest vour arms on it in comfort, Re- laxing there, you ponder the goodies spread before you and convince vourself that the rib roast for $4.25 is a sounder in- vestment than the frankfurters for 49 cents.

I thought if I got bitten up much more infection might get into the blood stream, and then dear knows what might happen. Some folk tell me these insects -are grass fleas. Could be as there is a hayfield right next fo the house. But we have never been bothered with them before. However. bites or no bites, 1 have been very busy . . . mov- ing house. Until now, with eleven rooms to play around in I seem to have managed to spread myself and my belong- ings all over the house. And if there is anything that clutters up a place like old papers, books; clippings and so forth, I have yet to meet it. So, afler a consultation with Partner, it was decided I should take over a. room upstairs -- it used to be Bob's bedroom. First it had to be cleaned and a new place found + f boyhood's romaining treasures. And, wich Partner's help a double bed to take down and remove fo the boxroom: and cupboards and shelves to set up in its place. And then began. the grand job of collect- ing my belongings and carting them upstairs. In the middle of this things began to happen outside. One man came in to cut a field of hay at the back of the farm. Another man was busy in the front field. Then came the hayloader and after him a big rig from the Department of Highways. I never saw any- such huge rubber wheels --. all four of them. It was a soil-testing outfit, sent in to take samples of the soil for construction purposes. The men used a 12-inch bore, went down about eight fegt, took a sample of the soil, and then filled the hole up again. I think they made four holes. While this was going on I was busy with my job -- taking twenty-five vol- umes of an encyclopaedia up- stairs, Two volumes at a time was all T could carry with com- fort. Later I got into trouble for Bonnie Scotland Comes With Us Our vacation. was over. We had already said good-by to. Peter's family. Now the time had come to say good-by to Scotlandr Peter and I stood on the deck of the Transylvania, anchored in the Clyde, our elbows on the rail, - watching twilight thryst- ing her lengthening fingers into the lanes and streets of Glas- gow-town, But our thoughts were 'far away--up wild glens to the north, down pleasant countrysides to the south, sort- ing out a hundred memories, mentally packing. them into neat bundles to store in mind and heart. . . . Memories are riches, and we had great riches in store--the memory of Oban, where we ate fish and chips on a red-checked tablecloth, where we lingered long over the woolens for sale, soft as a baby's cheek to the finger tips; Oban, where the sea air was cold sharp with the pungency of salt spray and the romance of the Western Isles just over the tumbling horizon; Oban, where the lone piper on the Esplanade issued an invita- tion hard to resist, . . . : How could we ever forget the magic of "the bonnie, bonnie banks 0' .Loch Lomond" where I had stooped to pick up a pocketful of smooth milk-white pebbles, in an effort to carry some magic away with me; or "the banks of the River Tay and the River Tummel, Inverurie, Pitochry, Drumlithie -- places whose very names were music? On some distant night on a far-off shore, we would unpack and dust off these memories, and find them untarnished by the years. Once again we would be standing on a swinging bridge in Inverness, watching the sun sinking in a soft glow of Turnerian colors behind the chimney tops, turning the River Ness into a painter's palette. And in the distance we would hear again a woman's deep- throated laughter and the haunt- ing strains of the bagpipes. Or we would be seeing again the wistful ruin that is Melrose Abbey, with the fragile lacework of its Crown of Thorns window, open to the wind and the rain, its cobwebby traceries silhouet- ted against a darkening sky. We would not soon forget the jewel-like setting of Dryburgh Abbey, with its yew trees and hawthorne hedges, or that per- fect moment when two wee las- sies asked us the time of day and then disappeared like frightened deer toward a cot- tage among the trees, from which smoke curled lazily up- ward; . or the beautiful cop- per beeches, the rose trees, pink and yellow and salmon; the del- phiniums of an intense, heaven- ly blue. I would remember inconse- quential things, like hotel cor- ridors, . . oa Suddenly someone {ook me firmly by the arm, and a fami- liar voice with a burr to the "1's" said; "Come on, Kate, you've dreamed long enough. Let's go below and unpack...."

But come to think of it there is nothing extraordinary about that. A professional - or businessman's work is usually away from home isn't it? On a farm it just seems queer because a far- mer's wife is used to having her menfolk within earshot most of the time. Yesterday we had a quiet day until about four o'clock. Then things began to pop. First a very welcome caller, then our Toronto family, and finally Bob and Joy. And they all wanted cggs to take home with them.
