ABOUT TOWN

Don't spend money to see a good
show; stick around the Four Cor
ners and you'll eventually see one
free of charge This weeks was a
skareem. One of our fair fillies
came dashing out of a chain store
with a package under her arm. Out
of the package stuck flock Of
celery tops. Ordinarily there is
nothing SO very poetic about celery
tops, and the person who can make
them the tool of art is genius in
deed. So it was with this gal.
She suddenly broke into a gay
caprice half way across the street
and lightly plucking the celery tops
tossed them to the winds to the
tune of: Sweet Bunches of Dais-
les. This was accompanied with
the proper hop and skip footwork.
Naturally traffic was paralyzed for
some time by the spectators. Two
old sons of the soil gaped so long
that their toothless gums started
to get sunburned, and as soon as
they could, they nudged and said.
Dad blamed nice little hiefer,
that, heh-heh. Makes me feel
right pert" Everyone else enjoy
ed it as much, SO you can see just
how easy it is to make the town
sunny. The Town Council should
engage her to do her dance with
celery tops daily at four-thirty.
Maybe somebody would pay their
taxes then.
We know something that would
bring a lot of trade to Snaps, but
it might embarrass one of the
school teachers.
At the dance the other night a
young starry-eyed couple went
around asking likely people if they
knew of someone who had car
parked not too near a street light.
They wanted it to sit in and talk
about something Bet a cookie
they wanted to discuss the Beer
Bill or Reparations. They finally
found the car they wanted and
talked so long that they completely
forgot that there was dance,
Conversation can be so absorbing
at times.
There is a certain Miss in our
midst who is extremely adverse to
all forms of bugs. Anything that
flies just sets her fleeing for cover
Even buggy conversation gives her
goose pimples and the hair on the
nape of her neck does a shimmy
At any rate, she was talking to q
young man and being very sedate

and thought he would walk spell
She didn't notice it, of course, OF
she would have cut up a-plenty
