Z The automobile census taker, sta
toned on the Surry road near Ellis
worth last week, had a new one put
up to him, and is still puZzling over
how to classify this particular driver.
He stopped a car driven by a young
married woman of Ellsworth, and
after the usual questions as to des-
tination, etc., asked: Business or
pleasure?" The answer stumped
him: well, I'm on my way

call it when you get your hair cut?"
And the census man is still trying to
figure out whether it is business or
pleasure for a woman to get her
hair bobbed.
