Friday 18th Has
Nothing On A
Blue Monday

A prominent grocer OF Gathers
burg experienced a "blue Monday
recently. Leaving town early Mon
day for Chestertown, where his
wife had been visiting, Murray
Walker and his son, Kimmy, had
trouble with the brakes on the car
sticking. After repairing the
brakes and driving a while, he
found his fan belt had broken. At
the garages where he stopped, he
could get no one TO work on his
car, so he finally purchased fan
belt and installed II himself, cover
ing himself with grease in the
process. Not wanting to call for
his wife in such a greasy shirt, he
purchased a cake Of soap and
washed the shirt, hoping it would
dry smooth while he drove TO his
destination. About fifteen miles
from where he had done his laun-
dry, Mr.. Walker discovered that
eighty dollars he had put in his
pocket upon leaving home was
missing. He drove back to the ga
rage, and as he drove in, the at
tendant brought TO him his eighty
dollars! There is never a cloud
without a silver liningl
May we add that Mr.. and Mrs.
Walker and their son, because Of
the delay, were compelled to spend
the night in Chcstertown, and feel
ing that they had earned a day
"of' they spent Tuesday at the
beach, thoroughly enjoying them
selves.
