-inie will be in tonight for just
tho days, but oh boy, we sure have
a happy family again for two
days that is.
On the sordid side, in 1949 there
was a flood in Guatamala in which
1000 lives were lost. 1t isn't much
fun reporting catastrophies and
tragedies, so let's skip right on to
the shopping.

but now that they are again in sea-
SON and the shipped in frozen ones
are on display here in quantities,
I'd sure like to introduce them to
Conchs and maybe even whomp up
q new oyster dish conch style!
However, until someone comes up
with smart oyster recipe let's try
creamed ones. Don't have the sauce
too thick, and be generous with the
butter, salt and pepper. Served on
thin crisp toast, no buffet supper
should dare appear without them.
Just plain good on Saturday night
too. when you want to dash off to
a movie or are home tired from
the beach.

mating snide remarks about wom-
en- drivers, and particularly me.

And while on the subject Of male

would be well to point to statistics
published by accredited Insurance

specifically state that male driv-

automobile accidents which, Il l am
