London Paper
Offers a Man as
Contest Prize
LONDON (#!—The tabloid Daily
Sketch came up today with a new
one in the prize-giving race
among London newspapers. The
paper announced its new prize
would be a man.
The Sketch published the pic
ture of a handsome 49-year-old
former Army major, Chris Pow
ell, and announced: “Win this
man! He will do anything you
want. But it must be legal.”
Newspapers here have been
trying to outdo each other in woo
ing new readers with round-the
world trips, complete homes, go
ing business ventures and a life
time income.
Powell, described as 6 feet 2
and fighting fit, looks like the
Cary Grant type.
He can drive a car, ride a horse,
fence and handle a gun,” the
Sketch explained.
Details of the new contest, the
Sketch said, ’will be announced
later. The newspaper, listing pos
sible uses for the new prize, sug
gested he could:
“Ask your boss for a raise—for
you, give your neighbors a piece
of your mind, baby-sit, dig your
garden, clean your house, chap
erone your daughter.

RABBIT COMMITS ARSON,
WILL END UP IN STEW
ALBERTA, Va., l/PI—There was
a hot time in the old briar patch
for a few minutes, but arson does
not pay, even for rabbits.
A cottontail crawled into the
heat pipe of a tobacco curing barn
here Friday and soon leaped out,
his fur blazing. He hopoed to a
tinder-dry field and started a fire
in the brush.
Tobacco man Garland Elliott
cooled off the blazing bunny in
his deep freeze, but it’s only
temporary. Elliott says he’ll warm
up the rabbit one last time—in a
pot of rabbit stew.

Tinted Glass Serves
As Car Insulation . 1
DETROIT—Stateside motorists
who may consider a car air con
ditioning unit a luxury, can nev
ertheless invest in “real cool”
driving nt a minimum cost. ;
j By ordering tinted glass wind- j
| shields and windows, the trans- |
| mission of radiant heat from the j
j sun into .the car will be cut > in |
j half, according to Dean Engle,
i chief engineer at Dodge.
Tinted glass screens out 65 per
| cent of the sun’s rays, Engle says.
' Ordinary glass, on the other hand,
j’permits 71 percent of the heat
i rays to pass thru.
Mr. and Mrs. Jack Blaiiler
' returned to Nome Saturday. Jack
has been Stateside for medical
attention for an injured hand.
