es he doesn't know much about the
actions of "B" batteries further
than when wired to the home radio

home from Reinersville, where they

member family and found to their
amazement that one of the "B' bat
teries had left it's open-fronted
"hive' and winged its buzzlng
way through a 24X28 pane of win
dow glass, begging down with It's

tations of the 'jumpin' heeby-jee
bees" as an affliction consonan'
with the life of 'B' battery. But
now they would just much rather
know what intruder entered thell
home while the family was away
