The We-Fone-U Stores have recent.
ly made their appearance in the South,
the first being established at Tampa.
Florida They represent a chain Of
meat and grocery stores which have
approached the problem OF reducing
overhead costs from an entirely diff

stores. Instead OF reducing the serv-
ice TO the customers. they have ef
fected economies in the operation OF
their establishment. but without the
elimination Of sales and delivery

Poets Odd Experience

There is an instance, recorded some
tine ago, Of the late poet James Whit

strange impulse drew him out Of bed
and prompted him to write his poem
"Bereaved.' the simple story Of the
death Of a little child At the time,
Riley had no knowledge that the child
was even seriously III. He could not
imagine why this insistent thought
should have come to him. But in his
mail a few days later came a letter
from his old friend Bill Nye, announc-
ing the death Of one Of his children
on the very night that the strange
call TO write had come to the poet
