Apprehension in Ocala
Unmitigated apprehension has been
excited in Ocala by the appearance in
many show windows of a typograph-
ical terror, announcing the appear
ance of the Commercial Club minstrels
at the Temple theater Wednesday eve
ming, June rs. It seems that Lester
Lucas, who has been paroled from CO.
burns Ministries for the summer, has
wearied of living a quiet and inoffen-
sive existence, and associated with
himself Carlton Erwin, Linn Sanders,
Pat Anderson, Alfred Green, Sibbald
Wilson, Rea Ferguson, Usher Nor
wood, Carol Blalock, Bryan Butler,
Jack Halton and others whose pre-
objection to such an outbreak has
long been suspected, and who have
only needed a leader and an oppor-
tunity to perpetrate an atrocity on the
ldefenseless public. We have seen the
program and are prepared to declare
that anybody who can survive it will
be able to stand anything. We will
guarantee that those who attend the
performance will for the time being
forget all their other troubles, and
will be SO glad when they escape that
life for the next month or two will
seem like a happy dream. The bunch
OF alleged artists as well acquainted
with half the people and all the scan
dals in town, so if you go you are
likely to hear yourself and some of
your neighbors shown up. Some comic
songs that haven't been heard since
George Washington was a boy have
been discovered and will be sprung on
the audience as new, also the jokes
with which Noah and his sons whiled
away the time in the ark; they have
been forgotten and are much better
than those we have been hearing
every day since the civil war. The
one redeeming feature of the occasion
will be that the doors will not be
locked, and anybody can escape at any
time they want to. Remember the
date, July 26, and try to be out of
town.
The Star is informed that three of
Ocala's young high school graduates
l-Messrs. Alfred Green, Arthur Crago
and Westlake Hollinrake-will attend
the University of Florida next year.
