PARISH STREET SATURDAY

The subject that came up for dis
cuSsion as a few of us regulars
gathered around our fish and beer
was that hoax that somebody
tried on the Young family out on
West Pearl ST., one of whose men,
bers is now in service Somewhere
in France about whom somebody
phoned in the name of the r d
Cross and stated that the member
of the family serving with h e
Army Somewhere in France had
been reported killed in action
The mother OF advanced age al
ready gravely affected by the sud-
den death and funeral of an old
friend upon receipt of the HOAX
was taken Immediately to bed and
only after finding that it was a
HOAX began a slow recovery
of herself Now words can't de-
scribe what we called and said
about who ever did that here. and
really that amt what this is about
What it is about though is to let
