The
What Not Shelf

Blackouts do come at the most
inopportune times. We know of q
roup of young girls here who were
entertaining some soldiers from the
Dover airport last Wednesday
night. Off went the siren, and off
went the lights. The girls told us
they just sat and talked. All well!
There is probably many romance
made or ruined during blackout
We understand that one of the
soldiers remarked that Smyrna
girls were nice, and Dover girls
were nice, but up home in New
Hampshire" there was a certain
special girl, and as soon as Uncle
Sam handed him a discharge slip,
he knew where to head pronto!
This is the story of two boys
who thought they were going on a
picnic. The jolly affair was to be
held at the Kent General Hospital
in Dover, and the joyous occasion
was to be the removal of two pair
of tonsils-
So Guy Edmondosn and Kenny
Smith set forth Monday, comforted
by each others presence in a double
room, and fortified with courage
and bravado.
The scene changes to Tuesday
afternoon, when they were driven
home from the hospital. Gone was
the comfort. Gone was the bravado.
Two sicker or more silent boys
would be hard to find this side of a
tonsilectomy.
1t is probably the first time in his
life that Guy Edmondson was
speeches.! And probably the first
time in his existence that Kenny
Smith couldn't eat!
Today, this columnist starts on a
new job, one that we have nervous
ly anticipated all this week! We
are going to work with the older
Girl Scouts. The girls expressed a
preference for dramatics this year,
and it is our duty to guide" them
along these lines. We are secretly
elated, having wanted for some
years to work with Girl Scouts, be-
cause we like girl children-but we
are tongue-tied before any group
Iof people numbering more than
three!
We are forced to admit that be-
ing a school teacher, right now to-
day, would be not only advantage
GUS, but enjoyable!

We wish the manufacturers of
galoshs would mark one with an
l., the other with an R, so that the
owner could hurriedly tell which
foot goes into which booti
We invariably get the wrong foot
in the right golasha-most every
time it rains.
1t is slightly ridiculous and Char
lie Chaplinish to look down and see
one foot pointing north and the
other foot pointing south.

THE STRAW RIDE

Some of the young ladies of Ken
ton, with two youths, Mr.. w. and
Mr.. B., took advantage of beauti-
full moonlight night, and drove
through the town of Smyrna on a
straw ride, Friday evening. They
startetd off in great glee, with their
bells and horns, enjoying them
selves immensely while in town,
making .alls on their friends. But
they met with the misfortune of
losing a Wheel about half mile
from Smyrna. The ladies made
themselves very useful by taking
out the horses with the wagon up
side down, tied to shoestrings
which they secured from the ladies,
and it can well be imagined how
that crowd came home on three
wheels and half. When within
two miles of Kenton the tire came
loose from another wheel. Three
of the ladies being discourage, de-
cided they would get home much
sooner, so they at last reached
home in the wee hours of the morn
ing, determined to have the wagon
repaired before taking such a ride
again.
