A couple of travelling painters
drove up to Ed Cary's farm, and
offered to paint his barn real cheap.
Next thing Ed knew he had a bright
red barn-loOked fine!
Only thing was-after the first
rain, the paint washed off And by
that time the travelling painters
were not to be found-most likely
in another county.

Well Folks:
Everything seems to be gradual
ly shaping up here at Reddy's Cor
ner. Maybe eventually we will
have it the way we want it for
you. If we don't hurry all of the

part put up before we have finish
ed with the last of it.
New merchandise coming in all
of the time. This week it is Mt.

price is right too.
Reddy's Boosters play their first
Winter League Baseball game next
Sunday, Oct. 10th at 2:30 in East
Lake Park. Are you going to be
there? They always play better
with good roofing section back

are more teams wanting to get
into the League now that it is
started. If so, maybe we will have
some pretty good games.
The more support that you folks
give it the better are the chances
for those good games in East Lake
Park.
We are still waiting for sug-
gestions for improvement around
Reddy's Corner. Remember they
are always welcome.

Carver MonarchS Football sea-

triumph over the North Phoenix
Junior Varsity. The victory mark
ed the first time the Carver eleven
has taken on gridiron duties in 8
years. Coached by A. H. Shaw, the
Monarchs showed high prospects
for success in future competition.
Coach Shaw is a former Pasadena

The game played under lights
marked the Inauguration of Carv-

Captain Wendell Scott of Carver
won the toss and elected to defend
the north goal. The Monarchs
kicked off to their cross town op-

neither team being able to get
their offensive underway.

Sweep the parlor backwards on

Always have food cooked in

Fry cabbage for breakfast on

-Ancient Custom OF
Exchanging Gh

1t was once the custom in Britain
to extend gifts on New Years.
The ancient druids presented
branches of the sacred mistletoe,
and the Saxons observed the day
with gifts and festivities.
The Roman custom of honoring
the emperor with gifts was intro
duced in England during the time
of Henry III. Good Queen Bess was
said to have obtained most of the
jewels and attire of her wardrobe
from New Year donors.
Under the gift custom prevailing
during the Tudor and Stuart dynas-
ties, ladies received expensive
gloves and pins. Sometimes these
gifts we're wrapped in money, and
from this practice we derived the
term ''pin money"
The young ladies in the receiving
line, smiling coyly with every little
movement, would present each
conner with some little memento of
the occasion. Maybe silken badge,
a card with notices, a metal SOU
venir Pinning these on the lapels,
they would then saunter into the
front and back parlor to fiatter their
hosts ego.
Weather hosts would have an or
chestra, and as the crowd thinned
the gay young blades would swirl
their lynx-like lady friends around
to the lifting strains of ''The Picture
That Is Turned to the Wall'' or "In
