Help! teip!-
It was a tense moment in the
film and Mrs. Flora Eiler, who
takes her movies seriously, was liv-
ing in the part right along with the
actor on the screen. She forgot for
the moment that 1t was just a play
and that she was seated in thea
ter.
Suddenly she came down to earth.
Good gracious She had been
clutching the arm of strange
young man seated next to her!
Noticing her embarrassment, the
gentlemanly young man leaned over
and reassured her:
Don't worry lady :. won't
let them get you!"
Never Safe
Next time Sergeant Kenneth
Mustard of the military police drops
off to sleep at the police station,
our bet is that he will have his
boots padlocked.
The sergeant awcke from nap
Saturday night and found that
someone had eloped with his best
brogans! Diligent search revealed
them in box slowed away in the
trash. A member of the chain gang
crew that had been working in
that locality probably lifted the
shoes and cached them until later
time.
Mix-Up-
It was question whether the
Democratic Central committee or a
group of Filipinos was the most
puzzled. Or maybe Dusty Rhodes
was more flabbergasted than either
one.
Dusty has charge of renting the
Veterans hall and for once he got
his wires crossed. He rented the
hall not only to the Filipinos for
a carnival Saturday night, but to
the Democrats for a meeting as
well!
Finally, with Democrats we'll mix
ed up with the carnival sponsors,
Dusty Strengthened the situation
out by arranging with the Central
committee to meet at the 10000

Here is the best answer we ever
heard and probably the best we will
ever hear to the question:
"Old pal, would you mind sign
