In one of the plays to be pre-
sented by the Smyrna Little The
atre, two reasonably young people
are taking the part of 55 to so old
sters who try to recapture and
warm over a childhood crush. Their
names, and the conversation be-
tween them is such that neither
can keep straight face.
Patrons tickets will be on sale
soon. If you want to help the Lit
tie Theatre by providing some
much needed funds, and yet have
no yen for the actual production
work, buy Patrons Season Ticket
and have the blessings and undy-
ing gratitude of the entire group.
Layton Mabrey has been having
some trouble with his cast, but
things are nearly settled now. If
one handsome young blade, with
the middle name of Milton, would
make up his mind, Layton would
MT have worry.
And if Stimps Carrow would
play "Clair de Lune" for a certain
femme of portly girth and dubious
mentality, at every rehearsal, =
Mmmmml
At any rate, don't forget to do
your bit by purchasing a season
ticket. We need the do-ra-me, !,
Oh mel
One of the things that appeals to
us very strongly about the Ma
tional Bank, is the fact that there
are usually several vases of flowers
sitting around, all tastefully ar
ranged 1t gives the bank such a
cheerful, honey air, as if it were
trying to make friends. We are a
flower enthusiast anyhow, but
think that the atmosphere of any
room, whether business or living
quarters, is enhanced by vase of
flowers. We went in the National
Bank one day, in very gloomy
frame of mind, as we usually are
upon thinking of all the unavailable
money housed there. But the flow
ers caught our eye, and by the
time our business was transacted,
we left the place, whistling off
key. 1t has a psychological effect.
We know of a certain person, in
the vicinity of Mt. Vernon Street,
who NUT have been near collapse
one night last week-the night two
drunks thought they were riding
jack rabbit, and were trying in
their foggy way to help it jump.
The car, disembowled by contact
with two trees, one telephone pole
and three curbstones, was sending
off fourth-of-July sparks. The
drunks were sending off fumes and
neighborhood housewives were
sending off screams, when the car
came to rest none too gently on a
hitching post The drunks aban-
doned Brer Rabbit for a cross
country sprint.
A group of young people took
the excursion train to the Worlds
Fair last Sunday. The ride up at
the crack of dawn wasn't too bad,
but when some of them were oblig-
ed to occupy the baggage car on
the way home-that was adding
insult to injury at two o'clock in
the morning. To make bad mat
ters worse, they had to stand up
from Philadelphia down. Standing
room only in the baggage cart Too
bad somebody didn't have pair of
dice, to make it completely story
bookish.
In this issue, there is a hunting
season schedule for all you gun
ners. 1t not only names the sea-
sons, but lists the game you can
shoot and the ones you are to
leave alone, along with rules and
regulations Herewith. AS long as
you are going cunning, we have
suggestion to be added to the top
of that list of game. 1t should
read: Hitler - Open Season - No
Rules Apply.
When Mrs. Eta West was at
tender age, she won a prize for a
Temperance essay. When a rep
resentative of the Women's Chris
tian Temperance Union informed
her of this honor, she murmured
innocently, "Well, I suppose my
teacher can keep the money for me
4 guess she's honest. Her teach
er was Miss Anna B. Beckett
An apple for the teacher! This
