Der. Once as we drove through small ham,
let, everybody laughed and pointed at us,
and one old hamlet-dweller fell over in the
street and had fit of hysteria, waving his
hands at the jeep and slapping his leg and
screeching at the top of his voice. For his
age he had good lungs. He nearly choked
himself to death, laughing at the jeep.
''Pd purely Eken to have that there crit
ter to drive the chickens i'm with,' he
said between commissions. :.
In jeep you have two choices in regard to
the canvas top. You can have it up or you
can leave it down, like a sports convertible.
If you leave it down, the wind bellows in
over the top of the windshield and blows away
little divots of your scalp. If you have the
top up, it flaps in the wind and beats on top
of your head until people begin to call you
''Flat-top." Feeling that we couldn't spare
any divots out of our scalps, we rode with
the top up. When we drove at a slow speed,
the canvas top patted our skulls like fond
mama patting her bright offspring. When
we drove as fast as possible on those roads
(35 miles an hour, sir), it was like two dozen
incensed Irishmen batting us on the head with
shillelaghs, begorrah!
After few hours of this constant, ungentle
massaging of the noggin, you get terrific
ringing in your ears. Sometimes you get pretty
exhilarated and try to drive over IS miles an
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1945-07-15

hour. Then again, sometimes you think you
hear voices.
We'd be driving along like mad - on those
roads you were mad to be driving at all =
and Jones would look at me and raise his
bushy eyebrows. 'Huh?" he'd say.
Somewhat bewildered by this, would

But the highway from Forrest City to Men,
phis is good"
Forrest City, they say, is anywhere from
AZ to SO miles west of Memphis, Tenn. De-
ponds on which side of the road you drive on
guess. Anyway, we ate our lunch and went
to Madison which is five miles from Forrest
City.
1t was raining in Madison. A Coast Guard
amphibious plane came over, and then it
went away, but nothing happened. 1t kept
on raining.
Christopher Morley's Cousin
A MDDLE-AcED man, who looked something
like Somerset Vaughan, was standing in the
rain in thin trenchcoat, watching the activ-
ity on the river bank | asked him if he would
like to get in out of the rain. (In jeep he
should be out of the rain, yetD He said he
would, and he did.
Later, it turned out he was Christopher
Morley's cousin and was covering the food
for a Little Rock paper. He said he knew
where we could get some hot coffee, which
right then was better than knowing Chris
TOPPER Morley personally.
Don't ask me why, but when we got to
town it stopped raining. parked the jeep
in front of this out -at-the- elbows eating joint
that had hot coffee, and an old man came to
the door with bottle of beer in his hand.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1945-07-15

Now lookee here, boy" he shouted, wav-
ing the bottle under my nose, II want to buy
that contraption when you're through whit"
William, l said to myself, here is the town
clown, come to josh with you.
When I'm through with it you can have
it cheap" said.
That old man was in dead earnest. He
really wanted to buy T-5683 from me. He
thought the jeep belonged to me q should
live so longD and he wanted to buy it for
his boy. In fact, he wanted to buy it right
on the spot.
WE Takes Study"
LET me git in the DANCED thing and cut
her around the block, boy" he shouted.
''You don't just cut jeep around the
block" told him. 1T takes time and study
before you can rack jeep."
The old man insisted that write him out
shown for the transaction in advance.
Well, the thing had gone too far for me to
start being honest about it, so took out my
notebook and wrote:
Il promise to sell jeep T-5683 at such time
as I may feel entitled to put said jeep on
sale, to no party or parties other than Josiah
Wilkens, of Madison, in St. Francis County
in the Sovereign State of Arkansas, for sum
to be mutually agreed upon during further
negotiations. Signed: Melvin x. Fliff Gg)."
This handed to the old man.
Cob dang it, / done poorchased me a
jeepv' he shouted, and charged down the
street waving the paper.
A lot of people along the wayside - and
you'd be surprised how many people spend
their time hanging around the roads - want
ed to know if old T-5683 was jeep or
peep. told them it was jeep.
One little bucolic urchin said he had a
brother in the Army at Fort Sill, and
T-5683 was neither a jeep nor a peep.
Its a dunn beep," this brat yelled insolently
Later, while driving down the street, we
passed this smart-aleck kid and T-5683 took
after him and chased him into the woods
So guess T-5683 is not beep, for which we
can be truly grateful, I suppose.
T-5683 was constant source of embarrass-
ment to us, as we'll as mobile torture cham

answer, WHAT" And Talmadge would say,
Whats that you say?" and I'd try to re-
member what I'd said and pretty soon I'd
figure out hadn't said anything. Then I'd
get to thinking that maybe Talmadge was
nuts or something.
