Don't Be Fooled
By Weather

Despite our pessimism over
lingering winter, don't let the
weather fool you. If memory
serves us correctly, we always
have had summer warmth and
we may reasonably expect it
again. Better get set for the
balmy days. The car needs
change of fabrication, the
home should be frightened up,
new garments soon will be
necessary-in fact there are
many things to be done with
the change of seasons. You
will get ideas by reading the
Classified Guide. Turn there
now and profit. And look for
the winners of this weeks free
tickets to the Midland or Audi
tOrium Theaters-yOu may be
one of them!

OF this may be summer jobs from

By substantial amounts l mean
from $500 to $3.50 game, if it hap

many tickets before the last Rose

DO any guessing along this line.
