Howdy Folks:
With spring in the air, our minds
are turning to more "springish"
activities, some inside and some
out-of-doors. The boys are out on
the Fairgrounds once again form
ing baseball teams. STAFFORD
LOTT, wide-awake, energetic young
Boys Director at Phyllis Wheat
ley House, is right "on the ball"
getting his boys in shape for base
ball and softball leagues which will
perform during the summer
months. ... Roller skating is another
fad which has taken the two towns
by storm. At the Skateland Roller
Rink in st. Paul last Monday night,
the following boys and girls were
seen "rollering" about: HELOU-
Use TABOR, VINTRESS JACK
SON, NORMAN CARTER, SCOTT
TYLER, CARL BANKS, SUE
CHILDRESS, PEARL WILSON,
IRA ALLEN, ETH
YOUNG, JAMES RIVER, PHYL-
LIS MAYES, FAYE ALLEN,
KATHERINE HOPKINS, THEIR
ESA RAY, EARLINE WILLIAMS,
JUANITA CAMP, ELLOUISE
VASSAR, IRIS BROWN and
PAUL RAY. ...
StOrk Flash:
Did you know that attractive
young couple, LIEUTENANT and
MRS. BOB MARSHALL, Jr., mil
licent Burgess) are expecting a
visit from "Sir Stork" in the none
too-distant future.
A Story of Two Towns:
This story is about well-known,
attractive Twin City couple who
are now in their late thirties. The
hubby in this story has for many
years patted himself on the back
because of the fact that he was
the victorious one in winning his
wife's hand in marriage, (Which
took place when they were in their
teens). It seems as if, during their
courtship days, the wife in our
story had another sutton, an elig-
IDLE, handsome young chap. For
many, many months people didn't
know who was to be the winner.
Fate took a hand though, and
helped our heroine make her de-
cision which was in favor of the
man who is now her husband. When
the other sutton lost out he left
town broken-hearted. He never
really recovered from this love
loss, although he did marry another
girl, but lost her to death soon
after marriage.
Now comes the interesting cpl
sode in our story. The hero and
heroine have lived a full life, have
had two children, one a boy and
the other a lovely girl the image
of her mother. Of course, the
children are now in their twenties,
have fully matured, and are adj
mired by many. Not many months
ago, who should breeze through
town but our wife's (the heroine)
other sutton, the man who lost her
in marriage twenty years ago. The
"suitor" who lost in the race, is
now a well-to-do bachelor in his
late thirties, is still handsome and
still possesses that indefinable
quality which makes him most at
tractive to all women. Believe it
or not, at first sight he fell in
love with his former sweetheart's
daughter. And why shouldn't he,
for she possesses the same beauty,
charm, and grace which her mama
possessed twenty years ago (and
still does have). The young daugh-
ter also has fallen madly and des-
perately in love with her mama's
former beau too.
We hear that wedding bells will be
ringing soon for this grand couple.
We wish them much happiness and
we're sure the daughter will make
up to the mama's former beau, that
which he missed when he lost her
hand in marriage twenty years
ago. (Ain't fate and life wonder
full and kinda terrific, too?) =.
