NEW YORK (/P) Oauighi; short
We’re still groggy (from con
templating the sale of Nashua
for $1,251,200, and get the sha
kes just thinking of how any
one could have (peace of mind
with so muich money tied up in
a living, breathing animal.
So many things could hap
pen that the whole investment
is tied up with “i®s.” If the big
colt should come down with
galloping pneumonia, if he
should break a leg, if he should
be a failure at stud, if, if, if.
That price exceeds any other
paid for a horse is understand
able, as Nashua is the first!
horse of such class to be sold, i
There is no Celling how much |
Citation, or Native Dance*-, or
Tom (Fool, or Count Fleet mig
ht have (brought at a similar
stage .in their careers. There
was no need to sell .them
At any rate, at that price
they should have tossed in Ed
die Arcaro and a couple of bal
es of hay. As it is, the new own
er, or owners, got judl a horse
with a brilliant past and a hiaizy
future. There is no guarantee
he will win another race.
It was only natural that Pee- ’
wee Reece would be the ‘first
BrooMyn Dodger to sign hi?
1956 contract. The little oap
tain is first in just about every
thing, including the hearts of
Dodger fans.
Reese is reported to have sign
ed for a reported $38,000, al
though that’s purely a guess.
At any rate, he’s worth whal -
ever they pay him.
Reese is 36, and seems to be
at the peak oif his career. He
may have slowed up a fraction
in the field, but his all around
value to the team probably is
greater than it ever was.
And speaking of improving
with age, a felllew by the name
oif Sam Snead seems to be in a
class by himself.
Sam is 43, and although in
golf the years don’t take the
toll they take in more rugged
sports, at 43 you begin to get
vague aches and pains even if
your life has been spent sitting
in an easy chair and taking
your car to run down to the cor
ner.
The sweet-singing hillbilly
shot a 29 on the back nine oif
the Miami Open for a record
for the Miami Springs course
and an the very nexlt cosmipeti-j
tive round shot a record 64 inj
the Sanford Open.
They say hungry athletes are
the bealt athletes, and that in
cludes golfers. Snead no longer
can be classed as a hungry golf
er, bult he still is so much ’bet
ter than the younlg tournament
players who really can be clas
sed as hungry, that there is no
comparison.
His secret seems to be the
gift of a natiural style that nev
er has nor never will change,
and a remarkaMe physique.
It is noted that Maryland &
Oklahoma, which will meet in
the Orange Rowll Jan. 2, have?
exchanged (films of their games
which is a fine gesture, hut at
the same itiime seems a little
silly.
By exchanging the pictures
they show each other what may
be expected, but there is noth
ing to keep them from engag
ing in secreli practices to dev
elop surprises. In which case it
would be like Coyote Bill draw
ing his six shooter and saving:
“See here, stranger, them
ain’t the cards I dealt ya.”
How to teach x
your child to
save regularly*»
School years are probably the most important
years in your child’s life. Besides learning the ABC’s
of education, he is forming habits that will deter
mine the kind of adult he will grow up to be.
Is your child learning the important lesson oj thrift
and the values oj a regular savings program?
Hundreds of thousands of young Americans are
learning the responsibilities of good citizenship . ..
how to save regularly .. . even helping to finance
their own future college educations... through the
Treasury’s School Savings Program.
By the regular purchase of Savings Stamps in their
schools, children are investing in (J. S. Savings Bonds
on the installment plan. Each student has his own
album for United States Savings Stamps in io^ and
25* denominations. By budgeting his allowance or
earning extra spending money, each child buys his
own Savings Stamps. Then when he has filled his
stamp album, he exchanges it for a U. S. Savings
Bond, Series E, maturity value, $25—one of the
safest, best paying investments any of us can make.
Is your child’s school participating in this im
portant savings program? Why not speak to your
principal, school superintendent or P.T.A. group
about it today? You can obtain complete informa
tion on the School Savings Program from your state
Savings Bond office, or the Education Section, U. S.
Savings Bonds Division, Washington 25, D. C.
Encourage your child to buy Savings Stamps regulmly.
Start the U. S. School Savings Program in your town
today ! Everyone will be glad you did.

point the way you want
your child to grow!
