place. three miles from here. so we drove
down and thoroughly enjoyed II. me
foot races were very amusing but did not
compare with the struggles OF the anx-
ions youths who tried TO climb tho greasy
pole. Some were very successful. but as
often happens in life, as soon as they
reached the ltop they relaxed their Wig
ilance and slipped to the bottom. But
the knowledge that they had oeen there
made them look down on the others.
