One Little Swallow . . .
DETROIT (.V — At 108, William
Mahvitz starts and finishes each
day with a shot of whisky. Some
times he broods about the 50-cen't
loan he says Henry Ford never
repaid him.
Yes, lie does drink the whisky—
one little' swallow when he gets
up in the morning and one when
he sees to bed. said granddaughter
in-law Mrs. August Malwitz.
lie eats well, too — "more than
my husband."
All this came out as a result of
a birthday party Thursday for
Malwitz at a convalescent home.
His memory is no longer as good
as it used to be but he still re
calls. said Mrs. Mahvitz, that he
loaned Henry Ford, then a boy,
50 cents about 80 years ago to buy
a book and Ford never repaid him.
"It still bothers him.” Mrs. Mal
witz said. “It happened a long
time ago when Henry Ford was a
boy and used to read in the fields
out in what now is Dearborn.
“His father wouldn’t give him
money to buy books on mechanics
so one day he borrowed the 50
cents from grandpa. He never paid
it back, and grandpa’s never for
gotten.”

300 Mph . . . Wheel
Comes Off Jet Race Car
BONNEVILLIE SALT FLATS,
Utah Uft — A wheel came off the
.iet-powered race car of Dr. Na
than Ostich at about 300 miles per
hour Thursday and his car spun
out of control and skidded to a
stop on the salt flats of western
Utah. He was not injured.
The accident probably ended the
Los Angelos physician’s attempt to
travel 400 miles per hour or better
and claim a new world land speed
record this season.
The accident occurred after he
was clocked through a measured
mile at 331 miles per hour on the
first of a series of runs. It was the
fastest run he made in his trials
this week, and he had planned to
go progressively faster, feeling his
way to a new world mark.
Witnesses said the streamlined
jet auto, which Dr. Ostich calls
"The Flying Caducous,'” was about
seven miles along the straightaway
course and was slowing down after
passing through the measured mile
when it began to drift off course.
Then the left front wheel broke
off, the car spun completely around
three times and skidded to a stop
about one mile away, headed at
right angles to the course.
While the car was spinning Dr.
Ostich released the drag parachute
which is used to brake the car to
stop. It apparently helped pull the
car out of the spin.
In 1903 the U.S. Senate passed
a resolution ordering that Navy
bean soup be served in the Senate
restaurant daily, and it has been
a menu fixture ever since.

Ed Admiral Sims Visits
C21 the Hard Way
• Fairbanks Daily News-Mint'!-'
A recent visitor to the Alaska ex
A recent visitor to the Alaska ex
hibit at the Seattle Fair was an
Alaskan, who visited on Alaska
Day, but under extreme handicaps.
Ed Sims, born in Nome and now
39 years old, had to see the exhibit
from a stretcher and through mir
rors. Ed has been rigid for the past
17 years from arthritis.
It seems the Alaskan entered a
hospital in Tacoma in 1945 for
treatment for arthritis and he was
put in a cast. Since then he has
been helpless.
Ed, now living in Kent, Wm, had
tried for over two weeks to find
some way to go to the Fair on
Alaska Day. He had all but given
up when he heard of a Boy Scout
group that took handicapped
people through the Fair as a
project.
Alaska Day the scouts brought
the man to the Fair a id asked if
there wasn’t some way he could
be taken through the exhibit on
the stretcher. There was — and
they carried him.
Morris Ford, the State Director
of Tourism personally explained
the exhibit to the man and also
Gov. Wm. Egan had a chat with
the unfortunate fellow.
Viewing the exhibit was also
complicated for Ed as he couldn’t
turn his head either way. This he
overcame by holding a mirror in
his hand.
So thanks to the Boy Scouts and
the Alaskans in Seattle a handi
capped man returned home—if
just for a few short hours.
