Hiya Neighbor-There's no bet
ter place than over the back
fence to rehash whats gone be-
fore, it's chummier that way and
one can toss in a few asides which
might otherwise be frowned upon
by we old editor. And so, we'll
mount our soapboX to congratulate
the six service clubs and mem
bers of the women's organizations
in town who cooperated so ex-
cellently to make the community
Mixer, held Monday evening in
the high school, an outstanding
success. A large crowd attended
and from where we stood ladling
out the punch it looked as il
everyone had lot of fun.
May we suggest here that some
one take Salty Reynolds and Lima
Poulalion aside, before another
Mixer, and teach them how to blow
up balloon properly so it will
pop with bang when they sit
on it the first time. Their team
mates the other night died n
couple of deaths from excitement
while those two contestants had
to TRY, try again" incidentally
the mems team won, which was
to be expected, considering how
windy the male sex is!

A Penny Postal Card found its
way to our desk with a clipping
pasted on it and a notation to-
hang this one on the fence"
Okay, we'll hang one on The
clipping is titled "In-Form-Ative"
and reads "Of the 55,OOO,0OO Unit.
ed States women above the age
of Is, at least 85 per cent are
overweight, or lack symmetry in
the vicinity of bosoms, waist and
hips" according to Fletcher d.
Dodge, executive of the Corset
and Brassiere Association of
America. Don't know who sent
it, don't know what inspired il.
But could it be that someone has
been leering at us from an up.
stairs window?

a big smile Wednesday when she
received letter from her son,

Harold Cooley didn't lose any
time in getting a deer when the
Michigan "bow and arrow" deer
season opened Sunday morning.
The local Robin Hood" killed his
deer at 1870 that morning but his
hunting partners, Isadore Younk-
er, Marvin Nelson, Melvin Cooley
and Bob Lanier, failed to drop
deer on the opening day. Sur
day hunting is permitted in Micll-
gan, but the hunters may not have
a gun in their possession during
the bow and arrow season. They
will be gone two weeks.
