Norm Schulz, our Beaver Crossing buddie, played well the role of spender this week-end, and threatens to eclipse even old millionaire T. B. Perry for top honors in the greenback delivery campaign. We'd bring up the the name of gentleman Joe Sydnow, but his ever able blush might catch the place afire...

Gunn, who signalized the end of leftist tomfoolery with his first memo to the Standard staff: "The chief function of an evening newspaper is to TELL THE NEWS."
