Ourselves -.
BY Philip H. Love .

The girl and three boys pictured
at the left are having the time OF Z
their young lives getting out Arling-
tons newest newspaper. =,
The two Johns. Blamphin and
Dobson, started the weekly publica-
ton, which consists Of sheet OF
8hx11-inch paper typed on both !
sides. A copy of the third issue
came to the attention Of The Junior
Star, and the editor and his assistant
were invited to come in and have ,
their pictures taken. BY that time,
however, the staff had been ex-
panded to include society editor.
She was asked to come along, too.
But the Harrison Street News was
still growing. When the three
editors showed up at the J. 8. office,
they turned out to be four, the addi-
ton being a copyboy. BY the time
this is printed, there's no telling
how much larger the staff will be.
The Harrison Street News comes E
out every Thursday. Between issues,
the staff canyasses every house in
the neighborhood, armed with note
books and pencils. Every Wednes-
day, the reporters meet with the
editors mother, Mrs. A. Merrick ;
Blamphin, and 60 through their
notes.
"I take down the news exactly
as they give it to me, house by
house." Mrs. Blamphin says. Il
feel that this effort deserves en-
couragement because Of the neigh
borhood friendliness that it is de-
veloping. We all know, now, who
every one else Is and what they are
doing. There is no peace IN the
world at present, but we have 1t on
Harrison street,
Here are some samples OF what
subscribers to the Harrison Street
News get for 2 cents:
"Comdr. Furer did not drive his
car in to work last week because
he had vacation and stayed home.
Mrs. Metz came home and found
q cellar window broken one night
last week. She thinks Kilroy was
there"
"Mr. and Mrs. Minkle went to the
country Sunday. We don't know
exactly where"
Mrs. Manwarren now knows how
to drive a car by herself and goes
to Clarendon in it."
1.-THE Campbells have dog called
General. He is Marcy Campbell's
dog and he chews things up"
Mildred Dobson is coming to
Dobson's house Tuesday night. They
will telephone John Dobson's grand
father in South Carolina to wish
him happy birthday. It will cost
a good deal of money but not so
much If they just talk for three
minutes"
Jimmy Blamphin took his plastic
scissors and cut his hair for the
third time playing barber. He had
just had haircut up in Clarendon
that cost 65 cents. 1t looks awful.
His mother was very sorry 80 that
he did such thing"
Mrs. Deaver is sick In bed with
a cold. The baby is home from the
hospital. Mr.. Jim Deaver has .
lovely new car. He had 1t at work
when we went there to find out
what kind Of car it was. We will
find out whether it is brand new
car and what kind and how much
it cost next week"
-Four aerials from cars were taken
and stolen last week and one strip
from q running board and q license
| twisted of. Dorseys lost their aerial
this way. They are no good after

News offers 10 cents reward for
finding out who the bandit is and
bringing him to justice"
