...coast hit Garden City the day of the semifinals. Golf tradition, imported from Scotland, where hurricanes are unheard of and where anyone who waited for a tine day would rarely play at all, says golf is an all-weather game. Officials of the U. S. Golf Association refused to hear of a postponement, sent Scotland's Jack McLean and New York's George Voigt, Cincinnati's Johnny Fischer and Omaha's Johnny Goodman, out to play their matches. While the golfers staggered around the course, the older members, having waited 28 years for a great golfing...
...each of last week's meetings Missionary Jones set the themes which probably half a million Protestants will hear before Christmas. Samples: ''The gospel will solve every human problem. . . .
