the effectiveness of the legisla-
ton"

writing now to Chairman Jen-
ner in the hope that his bill
could be passed promptly, a COM

The Dirty Dozen Minus Eight
Quartet was introduced by Mrs.

a parody of "Take Me Out To The
Ball Game" with words tailor
made for the occasion by Mrs.
Morgan, Mr.. and Mrs. Jackson,
and Mrs. Donald Umphress. The
song had four verses, but to give
you an idea:
Take me out to the country,
Out on Roxboro Road.
Buy me a house that has lots of
trees,
One which can always boast a good
breeze.
Oh, give me natural surroundings,
Give me plenty of space
Upstairs rooms, knotty pine, and
brick fireplace dee-vine,
Out in Roxboro.
The song continues by poking
fun good naturally at the stumps,
postage-stamp sized porches, and
mortgages, but praises all the
good neighbors. After more dane
ing and extemporaneous singing
the party broke up. One of the
joys of the party was not having
baby sitters. Parents had checked
children during the evening in true
cooperative style.
