Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1941-02-21

Hello, Folks:
This week our attention, which
had been slowly turning hopefully
to plans for spring, was rudely
jerked back to thoughts Of anti
freeze, radiators, etc. Twenty be-
low took US unawares, but prompt
action saved many a Ford, Buick
and Chevy.
This Weeks Sob Story:
She is a very attractive st. Paul
girl about town whose parents
think there's no one good enough
for her. She recently became in
terested in a Minneapolis lad and
her family now objects to her
friendship with the young gentle
man in question because Of his past
(wine, women and song). Well,
the friendship couldn't be broken
by the family because it had rip
ened into love. Not satisfied with
their inability to break the ro-
nance up, the family hit upon a
very clever plan; yesterday l found
out what it was. They are paying
(yes paying) a certain attractive
and daring old fame Of our Mime
apolis lad to make trouble between
their daughter and the unsuspect-
ing lad. So far the ex-flame seems
to be doing all right cause the lat
est is that the romance is totter-
ing. Methinks the daughters eyes
may be somewhat opened when
she reads this What do you
think?)
1t Wasn't Told to Me l Only
Heard:
That the JOHN R. LAWRENCE,
JRS., were having a mighty grand
time cheering for the Alpha Phi
Alphas when the frat played
against the Wheatley House last
Saturday night. That steady
twosome, ELMER HARRIS and
PEGGY PETTICORD were as
much in evidence as ever. Z. Some
of the Alpha Bros. playing basket
ball, who were making the hearts
of the balcony Juliet onlookers beat
in double time were, BOB GARD
NER, PERCY HUGHES, NOR
MAN Light, FRED SCHUCK,
ELMER HARRIS and this new
man" in town, WILLIAM ROBIN
SON. VICTOR GALLOWAY
seemed to be quite that way about
EARLINE STOKES. What six
gals couldn't take their eyes off of
LLOYD FRENCH, GROVER IN
GRAM and CHEF JOHNSON 4?
Gee, amt it grand having a dis
lance crush, especially from a bal
cony-although one of the young
ladies said it didn't seem to be get
ting her anywhere. Tsk! Tsk!
Don't worry, young lady-if a fell
low wants to know you he'll take
pains to let you know and if he
doesn't want to know you and is
rude enough, he'll let you know
that, too. . Did you see the three
new additions to SAILS staff
They're called THE Three Stooges."
So from now on, what Sal doesn't
see. and what her Boy Thursday
(whO has just returned to the city
from a short trip doesn't see, to
say nothing of "The Three Stooges"
who claim to see everything-well,
it just isn't worth printing. .
Minneapolis Stooge says JIMMIE
BROWN was right busy getting
his gals lined up for the dancing
session after the game. St.
Paul Stooge No. III tells me ELIZ-
ABETH MOORE was really excit-
ed when her escort of the evening
wv. Goins) didn't quite make a
basket he attempted to make.
The staff tells me my Second
Stooge" was very occupied him
self, trying to make eyes at GER
ALDINE DAVIS and that accounts
for his lack of information. "a GER
tain percentage will have to be de-
Quoted from his check this week. }
-. What young Lochinvar waited
patiently under the exit door" for
his G. F. "a st. Paul lassie) who
promised to meet him there
promptly at 1890 p. M? You can
imagine how surprised he felt when
she walked in with his best friend,
gazing soulfully into his eyes.
