POETS CORNER
THE WEATHER MAN F..

BY Florence Borner
There's queer little man who lives
up in the sky,
And looks down on the people be-
low;
He sends US the sun, and he sends
US the rain,
He's q smart little fellow, l know;
Cause, when We are planning on
picnics, and such,
He sends down the rain from the sky,
And causes us all to stay home and
lament,
So often have wondered just why.
Leaf insects, which thrive on the
guava tree, mimic the leaves so
closely that they change color with
the leaves as the season advances.

NIGHT GOLF TITLE

Further, it may be pointed out, if
Sam was attempting to initiate Dl-

ground.

eyes, it is pointed out, are more ac-
eustomed to the darkness than are
Beddoes.
In order to complete their last nine
holes, johnson and Beddoe played the
first three holes of the course three
times. As they entered the last three,
it was so dark that ball could not
be seen after it left the tee.
Sam Woolford, after having filled
his jumper pockets with matches,
would trot on up the fairway ahead
Of the drive, listen carefully for its
fall. and then point it out to the two
combatants. He then would stand at
the flag and strike an attitude and a
match for each shot.
On the final hole, Beddoe slipped up
on short putt which would have
squared the match, while Johnson sank
a six -footer in the fitful flare of one OF
Woolford's lucifers.
