sisters did.
Our hilltop man-abOut-tOwn
visited Bullet Hill and Pierce Hol-
low, then he hoped a town line
or two and visited, we hear, in
Seymour. Almost as soon as he
left the hilltowns to worry his way
through the dank mists of the
Naugatuck Valley. Horace ran
into hard luck. Coming from the
north and attempting to turn
from the Bethany road into the
road to Seymour, Horace claims
his steering gear went haywire.
Taking o chunk of cement out Of
the curbing and blowing up plenty
of lawn were just incidentals;
what happened to Horace's car
was the worse. The judge nicked
our school visitor with a heavy
blind, passed out a few we'll
chosen bits of advice, and allowed
MIR. Green to 60 his way. Return
ing from the hostile valley, Ho-
race stopped off at John Walkers
Service Station and bought a
Dodge truck. The Dodge is slower
but it hits harder and has q
higher profit potential.
Association with young ladies
sometimes carries certain respon-
sibilities. Bobo Gaylord found that
out, and he found out about the
Naugatuck vale, too. Bobos an
aviation kid from Lakeside, the
lad who whopped young Joselo-
witch during a quarrel about
water bucket. Bobo can fly but he
is just too darned slow about wo-
men. He doesn't fancy 'em, yet he
wants to be friendly and helpful.
That's how he got into trouble
and spent money. Motoring up
from Bethany field one day, b.
DO and boy companion saw two
young ladies thumbing a ride.
They looked all right and they
smiled nice. Bobo said they had
fur coats. Anyway, he gave the
wheel twist and pulled over to
the side and watched in the rear
view mirror as the ladies trotted
up on their high heels to partake
Of some free transportation. They
got in back, caught on right away,
and jollied Bobo a little about
his age. Bobo didn't say any
thing.
When the Gaylord car reached
st. Johns church in Waterbury,
the lad pulled over to. the curb
and told the passengers that that
was as far as he was going. They
protested and, as is the way with
some women, h0wled that they
were being persesuted and made
fools Of. The two boys watched
the clock and waited. Meanwhile
q crowd collected. BObO got
frightened because he was sup
posed to meet his mother and
take her back to Southbury and
he was already late. The girls
just sat tight and 'howled. They'd
be taken to a South Main street
furniture store or else. BObO de-
cided to risk all. With his COM
paniOn, he unl0aded and opened
the back door. The girls stood
fast. The boys rugged AMI pulled.
One girl came out of the car like
a wildcat out Of a stump, with all
polished nails flashing and her
teeth barred in a snarI. The other
miss picked up a motor crank and
swung at the back window. With
the resultant crash spelling dis
aster for the helpful male youths,
the two females damned for safety.
BObo paid for a new rear window
because he tried to be helpful. It
will be many a moon before B0bo
Gaylord goes out on a limb and
tries to help another hitch mixer.
Horace Green was In such a
hurry to get home for chores after
one Of his helpful school visits
that he crashed his car. Mister
Gaylord lost a rear window and
plenty Of faith in women because
he picked up two pedestrians
too lazy to walk. 1t doesn't work
