You're simply going to have to de-
eide an important question for your
self. can't do all the planning and
preparing of the foodstuffs for the
cooking school and write this column
too.
That's one of the reasons it's so
short this week. Of course, the paper
being filled with ads might be another
reason, but we can forget that.
Since the ladies seem to like my
meal-planning, 1 am tempted to con-
duct a school exclusively for men.
But not anyways soon.
*&*
There are many ways of getting
your name in this column. One is to
tell me to keep it out. Another way is
to be an Investigator of a Senator.
Another way is to be an anti-New
Dealer.
Still another way is to present
Scoop with something. Like Roy Win
tiers did last week. After his return
from the Chesapeake he shelled out
some hard-heads and hard-shelled
crabs with the demand that he be given
the publicity he deserved for having
such success. So here it is. The fish
they were fine. The crabs-he can
have all that he catches hereafter,
but thanks just the same for the exper-
fence I had with my first "mess" Of
the critters.
After carefully setting the table
that night, which included three pairs
of pliers, and carefully cleaning the
crabs after they were cooked, I wasn't
able to pry loose even one good bite.
And l spent so much time at the job
that it was breakfast time next day
before I realized it and l was hungry
as a bear. AS a result I had a net loss
of three bowls of cereal, one quart of
milk and six eggs.
And now I had better stop or the
boss editor is liable to blue pencil any
additional material. I still can't get
him to run this column instead of adj
vertisements.
