Apartment Problem

There was as much worry as
worth in the big gobbler Anna
McManus won at an American Le-
gion auxiliary meeting the other
night. Anna duly received the tur-
key, all Grated and ready for trans
portation, and then remembered
that she had no place to transport
him to. Finally she did the only
thing she could do-toted him up
to her apartment, crate and all.
Everything was peaceful until Anna
went to bed and to sleep. Trouble
was, the gobbler didn't feel like
sleeping. He felt more like song,
If that is what turkey considers
it. He felt like it all night, and
nothing Anna could do would soothe
the feathered noise maker.
Next day the turkey was taken
out to the McManus ranch.
All in all, it's the first time RR
ever heard of Thanksgiving dinner
giving anyone a nightmare before
it was eaten.
Additional Proof
Even RR is convinced, now, that
it seems to work out. That Is,
that people born on Friday the
Thirteenth often have names to-
taling 13 letters, without knowing
it themselves and without previous
6liesign upon their parents part.
it was Sharon McNeece
and Sue Hazel Baker whose names
worked out. Today, 1t develops that
Mrs. Harry Sones, noticing the item,
began checking up. Martelle Sones'
her daughter, was born on FRIDAY
the Thirteenth. Again, count the
letters! Then, just by way of MAX
ing is a family affair, Martelles
aunt is Caroline Sones, also born
on the fated day.
This things going to have us be"
lieving in spooks, first thing you
know!
For The Record
Just by way of catching up on a
neglected subject, Wednesday, NOV.
%. is Miss Addie TurbettS birth
day anniversary but Harry E. Lom-
holdt is the chap who gets a real
celebration on his natal day. He
was born on Thanksgiving day
and you can make up your own wise
crack.
Embryo Diplomat
A young lady who probably will
make her way in the world is the
infant who somewhat tired OF
walking, begged her mother as they
crossed Main street:
Mama, pick me up and see now
heavy / am"
Our Own Navy
Probably nobody else saw any
thing to grin about in it. but have
YOU noticed the bright yellow pave
ment roller the city is using on
! it's street improvement work? En-
plazoned across the prov OF the
little monster in huge black letters
is the legend, City of Ell Centro.'
A Put Up Job
If everything went according to
design, Adolph Binder, the promi-
nent Mexicali brewmaster, is still
trying to explain to Calexico Rotari-
ans how come he had in his possess
sion that lurid collection of en-
barrassingly frank anatomical cal
endars which cropped up at Rotary
meeting Tuesday. What RR wants
to know is, how did the other
Rotarians know where to get them?
o
Master Strategist-
Jiggs, Curley Vesey's non1escript
little white pup, is not as dumb
as he is small. Jiggs went out OF
his own weight limit the other day
to engage in friendly scuffle with
Ernie Beale's towering airdale and
big black chow of unidentified
ownership and was having a pretty
tough time of it. The big dogs
were having circus, nipping Jiggs
here and there, and the poor little
chap couldn't even reach their
undersides. Little by little he man
euyered the game his own way,
however, until the trio was along
side a bench. There was a white
streak in the air, and Jiggs was
enthroned on the bench. From then
on the tide of battle turned. Jiggs
gave them, well-Jiggs gave them
l.'hell!
If you can't whittle them down
to your own size-then get up to
