The
What Not Shelf

July weekend. They would share
expenses on gas and oil, and do the
whole trip as cheaply as possible.
There was one hitch. They need
another girl to make up the party
And still one more hitch. This giri
must pass strict judgment before
the board"
So they asked us to advertise fol
a travelling companion. So
WANTED-F Female, longing fol
trip (inexpensive) to Virginia
Beach. No Sour Grapes need ap-
ply. If interested, phone Creadick
Ennis. Reward.
Don't ask us about Creadick. We
don't know. We only did as we
were told!
Maybe he is considered a good
judge of character-or maybe it is
just joke on him-but we venture
to say that just phoning the gar
age, in reply to the ad, would be
all that was needed

Bob Lower and his committee
deserve a lot of credit for their
decorations at the Spring Dance at
school last week. Colored paper,
balloons and ivy were combined to
make very festive, spring-like at
mosphere. The girls in their long
dance frocks completed the scene.
What prominent town official
gorged so heartily before going to
bed one night last week, and in a
| nightmare sang so loudly and lust
lily that his wife had to awaken
him before the neighbors complain
ed?
And what popular professor was
so engrossed in a store window
that he fell fiat on his face, tearing
the knee out of his new Easter
suit? And what choice words did
he utter?
Patty Middleton has a pet kitten
and pet duck-and the two an
imals sleep in the same box, and
play together all day.
And speaking of strange combi-
nations, Ears" Goldsborough has
a new baby fox with blue eyes. The
mama of this fox was raised in
closest harmony with a litter of
foxhound pups.
And while we are on the subject
of animals you ever have a
strange dog walk into your bed
room?
A few mornings ago, we heard
pawsteps coming up the stairs, and
wondered how our old and faithful
dog had gotten out of the kitchen
with the door firmly shut.
But there, in the hall just outside
our bedroom door, stood Kimel
King. Aha-the early morning D..
It's, we thought. But no-Kimie
was real.
The impossibility of it almost
made us crack up with maniacal
laughter-but upon investigation,
we discovered that the wind had
blown the front door open.
With typical King friendliness,
Kimel had walked right in for a
visit.
Gebby Gebhart has threatened to
sue us for slander so many times
that we just can't resist this one
last (?) story on him.
1t seems that Gebby has been on
a strict diet-and Lib has been
breaking her neck figuring out cal
ories and planning meals with
choice non-fattening morsels.
That was all very fine-until Lib
discovered that Gebby was going
to Snaps and ordering hot dog
sandwiches and hot cinnamon
buns!
Diet indeed! OK. Gebby-You'll
be suein us some time.
We had good joke pulled on us
this week. AS a surprise to the
Smyrna Little Theatre members,
who were meeting at our house, we
spent hours making delicious
punch, arranging cookies, fixing
f1owers-all for a little party
as something different.
Ginny King came, and Liz Thorn
ley-but she left almost immed-
lately. So the Little Theatre meet
ing-two lonely people-sat and
had a party that was planned for
ten.
Oh, well!
P. S. There will be Little The
atre meeting this next Monday,
same time, same place.-No re-
freshments!
