 When I was your age" I said, "a lad like Angel Todd would have been a big thrill for me-"
 She stared right past me like she was looking long way off. Perhaps I'm not wired for thrills she said.
 I know plenty girls are that way. I'd never believe it of her. though. Not with those faintly shadwoed eyes and the full, warm, generous lips.
 I didn't say anything. But I won- dered what had happened to her. NEXT morning l was up early " for the truck trade. Truckies are the pick of the road.

You smear a cents worth Of bread with dash of butter slip in a tWC-cent slab of meat, a lettuce leaf and pickle, and what have you got? A barbecue sandwich that you can sell for two bits twenty-five cents, the quarter part of anybody's dollar. That's business That's rtade. That's progress, private enterprise, and the profit system rolled in one package. That's what's made America what she is today anc don't let anybody tell you different Of course, you got to have a knacE for cooking. Now, I love to cook. The clean-up part I won't say so much for.

 Referring to G. B. Shaw, Israel ZangWell wrote, The way Shaw be- IeveS in himself is very refresh- ing in these athelstic days when so many believe in no God at all."
 Winston Churchill, besides being great leader, is another thumbnail expert.
