Best performance of the first week was turned in by Doctor Blue Willing's kennel-mate, Air Pilot Sam. This handsome pointer found five coveys and one single, but made a false point and obeyed none too well for his famed handler, Ed Farrior. The judges also liked Golfer Glenna Collett Vare's Tips's Manitoba Jake and G. M. Livingstone's Shanghai Express, called them back for a run-off when the first series was over. Shanghai started off with a false point, handled one covey with style and finish, then sinned heinously by flushing...

...certainly the arrival of a room mate with three or more pairs of skis on a Sunday evening does not tend to improve either one's own or the biddle's good humor. Commercialism always wins out in this country of ours. And the fashion trades and the sporting goods stored being so firmly intrenched in the coils of the new slippery sport, we may never see the end of it. One can at least be grateful that most skiers retire themselves at the age of 70. Official action is not necessary to speed up the descent. THERSITES...
