FOURTH AT SEASIDE Louis Bolz shot an oil shark and a leopard seal at the Landing on Sunday. The tide was ebbing fast at the time and the bodies were left high and dry on the beach. To those who contemplate visiting the Landing it should be said that the oil shark is harmless and no fear need be entertained about them. Louis will have a grand time at the Landing on the evening of the Fourth, and invites those of his friends who care to go to the seaside on that occasion to be with him and join in the festivities. THE NEWEST GAME Stretching across the country, the new game called "Keep Looking" or "Go Find the Rubber" is being played by everyone these days. The best place to play is right at home, where every member of the family can take part. At a given signal, usually the snap of a rubber band, the players begin the first phase of the game called "Combing the Home." It's everybody's move, and each participant takes a section of the house for "combing." Players need not be exceptionally skillful, although a pair of sharp eyes is a great help. The object of the game is to collect every piece of unused rubber in each room in the house. Latest ruling on the new sport is that items collected should not be confined to SCRAP rubber, but should include every rubber item that is not actually needed. This ruling may call for an occasional conference between the rubber owner and the Rubber finder, to determine the usefulness of the object. When "Combing the Home" has been completed, one member of the group is delegated to place the collected items behind the goal line—the nearest service station. Everybody wins in this new game, which should be played intensively from now until June 30. The award is the feeling of satisfaction that comes from taking part in the current drive to swell the nation's rubber salvage pile.
