a nickel-grabbing racket.The press tent at Aronimink was too

small for efficient or comfortable w?rkbut tournament mgr. Jim Gaquin, his wife,Lois Doc Giffin and scorekeeper, KenEve;ett, saved the day for the PGA ...They usually do . . . There were ~ lot ?flaughs about the antique typewnters 111

the press tent . . . Lincoln Werden of theT.Y. Times said the one he drew should

be sent to the museum at Golf House ...Dudley Green ~f the . ashvi~le Bannerclaimed that relic provided him had. onits roller a yellowed and flaking pieceof copypaper on whi~h ~~ ;rrevi~us us~,rhad writt n the datelme, Litte BIghorn,then ran eastward when he saw what theTnjuns were doing to Gen. Custer and hismen ... Graham Ross, pro at Dallas Ath-letic Club CC where the PGA will beplayed in 1963, and a delegation fromColumbus (0.) CC where the 1964 PGAwill be player were at Ar.onimink study-ing the tournament operation.

Talk of pros at the PGA tournament andaround the country confirms the hunchthat PGA officials with their tight censor-

ship are not giving themselves a fairbreak or telling all the PGA membersthe facts of life ... Not even the PGA 1sectional vps seem to know what thescore is on the PGA course and clubhousebuilding operations at West Palm Beach

The result of the failure to "com-municate" is putting some earnest fellowsworking hard at no salary for pro golf'in an embarrassing position. '

Among the many questions PGA mem- \bers ask about the West Palm Beach dealare: What's estimated cost of buildingclubhouse? . . . How much will PGAhave to pay for building and finishing thetwo 18 hole courses and watering sys-tem? . . . How long are the courses bud-~etcd for maint nance until they bringm revenue enough to pay for themselves?... What maintenance expense is bud-geted on course and clubhous ? . . . Whatfinancing plan have been considered forthe PGA clubhouse, offices and finishingand operating costs of the course? . . .Have contracts, including those for equip-ment to be u ed at the club, been let with-out competitive bids? . . . How is con- 'struction of course and clubhouse progress-ing according to schedule? ... Will thnew courses be r ady for the PGA Senior ?

lOW INITIAL COSlBy comparison with most other piping materials, SOUTHWESTERN Plastic Pipeis measurably less expensive. This economy is made even greater by the dras-tically reduced cost of installation.

o fR OP~ TING (j 1Water losses are minimized when you install SOUTHWESTERN Plastic undergroundsprinkler pipe. Power requirements are generally lessened, due to lower frictionloss.

o NeEResistance to most chemical and soil elements protect SOUTHWESTERN PlasticPipe against the damaging attacks of corrosive elements that sometime rustand destroy other piping materials. Shifting soil has little effect on semi-rigid orflexible plastic pipe.

Southwestern's Plastic Pipe is guaranteed against rot, rust, and electrolytic cor-rosion, and to be free from defects in manufacturing.
