By TED KESTING
For many years Colonel Town
send Whelen has experimented
extensively with shelter and camp
equipment. Back in 1923 he heard
of a simple lean-to or “baker”
type tent with sides but no back
wall and no front door or fly.
The sides, instead of being per
pendicular to the ridge at the
front, splayed outward slightly.
Fire was built four or five feet in
front of the opening. In rain or
snow a sheet of canvas 4x7 feet
was stretched out as an awning
and that made it possible to cook
in comfort.
Based on this, Colonel Whelen
had a somewhat similar tent made
by a leading tent manufacturer.
He has used it ever since and it is
the best he has ever found, and
thousands of other sportsmen
agree with him. For one or tw r o
hunters, fishermen or woods loaf
ers who do their own work, in
cluding cooking, and who travel
by pack train or canoe, I know of
no shelter so convenient and com
fortable in any climate where fire
wood is plentiful — except only
I tropical mostjuito country.
This lean-to has many advan
tages: The tent is light weight.
The absence of a rear wall makes
*11 easier to errect and gives a lot
of room in the rear to store duffeA.
The tent is simply a flat, easy-to-
fold sheet.
The walls splaying out to the
side and front reflect a lot more
heat and light and prevent cold
winds from blowing around be
tween the tent front and the fire.
Somehow these sides do much to
keep smoke from blowing into the
tent.
In very cold weather a fire will
not warm the back interior of any
tent, but it does always warm this
one at least four feet back from
the front. Incidentally, the habit
of sleeping with your feet to the
front and to the fire is all wrong.
This places your head and
shoulders and back in the cold,
damp part of the tent, makes it
hard to get in and out of your
sleeping bag, and you see nothing
except the canvas roof.
It is far better to make your
bed in the front of the tent, paral
lel to the front and the fire, with
your vital organs close to the mid
dle of the fire. It’s easy to make
your bed there, easy to get in and
out of it, you are in the warm part
of the tent, you see and feel the
warmth of the fire. And in the
morning you can lean out of your
bag, put shavings and split wood
in the fireplace, light a fire and
get up 10 minutes later in a warm
place.
Rivalry Renewed
One of the oldest and most fa
mous football series in the United
States will be resumed In 1956,
three years hence, when Army and
Notre Dame meet again. The Irish
hold a victory margin of 23 to 7
with 4 ties in the series . . . Jim
Piersall has signed his second Red
Sox contract. He was only aronnd
briefly last season, but was one
of Boston’s most colorful players
. Fred Saigh, convicted of in
come tax evasion, now must get*
out of baseball. He will name a
three-man committee to operate
his St. Louis Cardinals until he
can dispose of the stock, reported
ly valued between $3,000,000 and
$4,000,000 . Bill Veeck of the
St. Louis Browns continues to re
fuse telecasts of his team in action
next season unless he shares in the
receipts . . . Tom Meany writing
in Collier’s says a .300 hitter in
major league baseball has become
just about as rare as an American
Bison.
VAULT CHAMPION . . . Peren
nial pole vault title-liolder Rev.
Bob Richards of La -Verne, Calif.,
wins his seventh straight Mill-
rose games competition with 15

I LIKE television and so do the
kids around the house But I’m
not so certain about this new vo
cabulary it is giving to youngsters.
In my day is was radio and horse
operas. Now the vogue of "space
operas” is giving the oldtime west
erners a run for their money.
This new vocabulary of space
cadets and adventurers sometimes
startles me. especially when one of
the boys is the source.
For instance, I told one of them
the other day. “You are doing very
well in school this year.”
“Sure.” says he, “I’m rocketing
on all jets.”
“Huh?” says L
Then the other one pipes up.
“He’s full of space gas. Pop.”
“P/ug your jets,’’ the first
screams.
“Wait a minute, boys,” says I.
“Explain all this.”
At length and impatiently they ex
plained: ‘Plug your jets’ means
stop talking or boasting, ‘full of
space gas’ means he is mistakea
“How do you say go away in tele
vision conversation?” I asked.
"Blast off.” they said, “how
«lse?”
“O. K..” says L “BLAST OFFI”

STRICTLY FRESH
'T’HE sermon was interrupted in a
Wisconsin church by a disc
jockey’s tunes on the public ad
dress system. Probably tuned in
a heavenly choir leader in an un
guarded moment.

Residents of a Connecticut tow.-j

instead.

A Massachusetts Moslem claims
he divorced his wife in the Orient
by yelling- the word “Shkibosh”
three times. Now living in Amer
ica, she’s suing for support money.
Guess she thought “Shkibosh” was
just a lot of bosh

British health authorities or
dered a hospital board to’ econo

hospital was for money to hire
two extra workers to look for
ways to economize. Wonder il
two can work as cheap as one?
