PACKING A PICNIC

Good Evening.

(Or, Please Pass the LiverWurst) Summer no sooner is on us As heralded by the buzz of the bee, Than picnic parties get popular And you prepare for the out-of-door spree. A fine sunny days an incentive When the mercurys flirting with eighty. So you drag out the thermos and hampers And prepare menu somewhat welgnty That includes sandwiches, salads, tomatoes, Peanuts, bananas and pop, Cold meats, stuffed eggs and pickles, Baskets are filled to the top. Soon the Npicnickers get going, But now to find the right spot; They travel wooded roads for miles For that old remembered lot. Arguments, pickering and squalllng, The kids all crying to eat,- Melting ice ants and caterpilars Oh, my yes! picnic's treat.

 A boy may turn out to be suit able, He does pleasing work and then goes home. He returns after several months absence. but sev- eral inches have been added to his stature and much more poundage. He is turned away.
 The ups and downs among the extra children are many. NEXT: The schooling of movie children. The states strict laws assure them of education and carefully guard their welfare.
