Popular with players because they thoroughly clean balls with speed and ease . . . with-out slopping or harmful scrub-bing of cover paint. Ball is protected because the Henry washes it with rubber instead of old-fashioned brushes. Popular with greenkeepers because their heavy pressed steel jacket is unbreakable and rust proof; they are quickly and easily serviced; no rotten brushes requiring frequent replacement.

• H IGHLAND, IND IANAPOL IS , IN CLEAR—Amazing story of golf club get-ting out of the deep red lies behind High-land G&CC, Indianapolis, Ind., paying off final $8,000 of second mortgage late last year and becoming entirely free of debt. Club was organized in 1919. In 1934 club was $40,000 in arrears on obligation for property, in debt to trades creditors and without credit. Under administration of Dr. J . William Wright, elected pres. in 1940, arrangement was made for buying club property and rehabilitating club-house. First mortgage of $65,000 was paid in 11 months and second mortgage of $32,800 in less than 4 years. Club has spent $75,000 in rehabilitation, and has $139,000 in government bonds, cash and food and beverage inventories.

Notes on the inflation, boom, or what-ever you want to call it: . . . Augusta Masters' tournament gate at fancy prices grossed more than George S. May's Tam O'Shanter big gates at popular prices . . .

A reason for Yank pros not entering British open is British law limiting money that can be taken out of Britain . . . Dick Burton's guarantee for trip to compete in Nelson match and Goodall tournament are fat expenses and fee . . . Shortage of waitresses for opening party of Skycrest CC (Chicago district) resulted in 12 Northwestern university sorority girls taking the jobs . . . Among them were a daughter of one of the nation's wealthiest men, a women's golf titleholder and six girls whose families are members of very snooty clubs . . . Byron Nelson plans to play in only 18 tournaments this year . . .

Close follower of the tournaments says strain of the tournament stars having to follow stock-market ticker as well as the scoreboard figures is nerve-racking . . . Well, why not? . . . More pros making $50,000 and over yearly means more ambi-tious boys playing golf . . . Now if the PGA and manufacturers can figure out a way to give some sort of encouragement and financial aid to home club pros as has been given to tournament pros, maybe everybody will be rich . . . Maybe.
