THE BUS AND Mr. PLATYBUS
By Joel H. Rosenthal

When George Platybus left his
office he was somewhat tired and
yet in rather pleasant frame of
mind. The thought of riding a
crowded bus home had not yet
penetrated to upset him as it US
ually did each evening. He won
dered why he hadn't accepted
Mr.. Snide'S invitation to play a
game of pool, which sometimes
he did when he left a little early.
Mr.. Snide's oily modesty hadn't
fooled him. 1t would have given
him a great deal of pleasure to
have eight balled" Mr.. Snide
into oblivion. But alas, it was a
fanciful dream because he hadn't
left early and he had to be home
on time.
OF course, Mrs. Platybus knew
nothing of this little secret diver

wouldn't dare growD of assent
when Mrs. Platybus carelessly
revealed her healthy bicepS.
George Platybus was on his
way home. AS he approached
his bus station, streetvendor
tempted him into purchasing a
rather large bouquet of violets
and roses (actually the bouquet
was made up of rhododendrons
and Chrysanthemums, but | must
bear in mind that you may want
to read this aloud to the children
and violets and roses are easier
to pronounced
He felt good about buying the
flowers and anticipated getting
right on his bus. However, after
five half-filled buses, al wrong
for him, had shifted at his feet
and gone on, Mr.. PlatybuS was
not in jovial mood. He inward
ly resolved to write to the bus
company and complain about the
service on his line. Whenever he
had a long wait, the same resolu-
ton entered his mind, but he
never did anything about it.
Finally, when his bus did ap-
pear, his anxious glance quickly
revealed that he was not to sit his
way home. He shifted the flow
erS, boarded, and tinkled his fare
into the box, then punished the
driver with a glare. Three sue
ceSsful lurches trapezed him to
chromium bar. With one hand
thus occupied in keeping his bal
ance, the other tenderly protect
ing the anguished bouquet, how
could he get to the newspaper
lodged under his arm? He en-
Wed the few men seated who
were absorbed in their papers
and mentally criticized them for
not relinquishing their seats to
the women they had out-man-
euvered. Then he remembered,
only that morning he had DELHI
erately taken window-Seat.
When you have a window-Seat
and are reading your morning
paper, you are not aware of the
women standing. Besides, it's so
awkward to get up and offer
your seat.
Well, thought Mr.. Platybus, l
can't read so l may as well Wal
ter NIFTY while. The bus radio
was playing soft tune, SurpriS-
ingly enough, and he started on
his favorite reverie: that little
tucked-aWay cabin in the woods
with fishing heaven all his own.
He saw himself selecting the cor
rect fly and hurting a beautiful
arc, one so magnificent that his

Indian guide gasped in awe at his
cast. Suddenly he was cast right
out of his dream by violent
blare of rhumba music, and he
was annoyed with this special ac-
commodation the bus company
offered its passengers. Mr.. Pla-
tybuS became even more irritated
when commercial which fol-
lowed dramatically insisted that
life could be more beautiful if
it's product would be taken in
liberal doses.
During this blurb his fellow
travellers were reverently silent.
With the announcement of the
news broadcast Mr.. Platybus
perked up a bit. This was sem
sible program. Now he was
grateful to the bus company. If
he couldn't read the news, at
least he could hear it. But that
was not for him. Two girls,
seated beneath him, started a
high-pitched conversation about
nothing, the bus ground noisily
and late shopper had difficulty
pacifying fretful child. He
could barely catch snatches of
disconnected news items. Just as
he was advised to listen to to-
morrow'S news summary, the bus
again simmered down to lull
and he listened to twangy hill
billy numbr. 1t never failed!
Mr.. PlatybuS looked up and
gratefully saw his street corner
looming up ahead. He leaned
forward to pull the bell-cord and
was most embarrassed when his
pot-belly rested momentarily on
the head of the girl beneath him.
Sel1-conSclOuSly holding his flow
erS aloft, he pushed and struggled
off the bus.
AS he walked up the front
path, he saw Mrs. Platybus seat
ed on the porch, and he wondered
how it would be if she were
standing in the doorway to greet
him. No, that would never suit
her personality.
She looked up at him and said.
Our neighbor said he drove
by your place to pick you up this
evening, but you had already
gone"
Mr.. Platybus WINGED little.
wordlesSly handed over the flo
ers and went into the house.

Simp|ified Procedure
For Virginia Courts
Voted by Top Judges
BY the Associated Press

! RICHMOND. Oct. THE Su-
preme Court Of Appeals of Vir-
ginia by unanimous vote yesterday
adopted a simplif1ed system Of
practice and procedure for the
courts of the State which will 60
into effect February /, 1850.
/ The action represents a goal
toward which the judicial Council
for Virginia, under the chairman
ship of Supreme Court Chief JUS
tice Edward w. Hudgins. has been
working since the spring Of 1948.
Council members said there
have been attempts to simplify
the procedure in civil cases for
100 years.
"Rule Days" Dropped.
The rules represent an attempt
on the part of the council to get
rid of all technical requirements
that serve no useful purpose ex-
cept as traps for the unwary."
They abolish the confusing rule
days" and will mean that a de-
fendant no longer will be sum-
moned to answer a bill exhibited
against him on the first or third
Monday of a month and not be
able to find out what the suit is
about. At present, he may find
only a memorandum with no facts.
Under the change he will be served
with a copy of the complaint with
notice of the suit.
Most special pleadings are abol-
ished and a suit can be answered
simply and Informally as it is
brought-by a notice of motion or
bill of complaint stating the facts.
Techinicalities Eliminated.
Trial judges. Justice Hudgins
said. will be given discretion in
passing on pleadings and eliminat-
| ing technicalities to get to the
meat of the controversy"
An entirely new system Of pre-
trial conference has been adopted
so that when the case goes to trial,
| jurors can Immediately go to the
box and witnesses be called with
no need of proving things both
sides know to be true.
The rules also offer uniform op-
portunity for each defendant to
answer, which always will be three
weeks after he receives notice of a
suit.

Present plans for a new bridge

to him in Richmond Wednesday

The bridge would cross the

Alexandria, S share of the cost and
its approaches would be $780,

the city should pay that much "to
