probable cause Of the disturbance.
Our laundryman refuses to give a
statement regarding the possible
| effects Of the war upon his rates
NICARAGUA: Everything's oil
right down here. The Marines
without Lon Clancy are holding
their own. The whole thing sounds
like an advertising scheme to get
people to know how to spell
Nicaragua"
ENGLAND: Three strikes and out
still holds good there. American
dance orchestras have invaded the
principal ports and have shelled the
cities with a barrage OF BLACK
Bottom"
FRANCE: Continuing on its sAS
hour services for divorces. Judg-
ment granted on the hour and the
half hour. (Adv.)
GERMANY. Able to sit up and

Having fine time wish you were

ly depleted by the disarmament con-
ference.
MONTENEGRO: we had clev-
err pun all made up for this coun-

one of our thousands of readers re-
garding what he termed the over
emphasis of sports in modern news
papers and the corresponding neglect
of the fine arts, we decided he might
be right. So we took one of our
staff away from basketball game
and sent him to cover a concert,
hoping thus to achieve more even
balance. But the story which he
turned IN has never been printed.
1t was as far as we can tell from
the few pieces we have been able
to salvage from the wastebasket and
paste together. something like this:
Every local boy who entered the
lists last night against the foreign
composers was returned a winner in
sensational style. 1t was triumph
for New Britain talent, and the
crowd Of music fans gave all con-
cerned big hand. The crowd was
singularly undemonstrative during
most OF the play but greeted the
conclusion Of each bout with a
crashing OF handclapping.
THE fir. match was between Bill
Heffeldinger, local lad, and Jack
Strauss Of Europe. This was an
easy one for the home town boy,
who dashed through all his oppo-
nent's defensive intricacies to win an
easy decision. Ray McBlobbett was
the second battler to take the center
of the ring, and he handed a ter
rife FASTING to youngster named
Mendelssohn, following him about
mercilessly and warding off again
and again his opponents difficult
notes. His showing was the more
impressive because of his lack of
weight.
"The feature of the card brought
Andy Flasktoter in conflict with
Dick Wagner of Germany. Wagner
put up great battle and at times
had Flasktoter on the seeming edge
OF knockout with his b2ss notes,
which any decent referee would have
ruled foul as being too low. But
Flaslltoter always came back and
took high note after high note with
increasing speed. Toward the end OF
the final round he weakened and
could be seen gasping for breath.
but he went on more cautiously and
finished with a popular decision
over the German"
You see what We mean.
