The
Rambler
A Boy. o Man
And Their Bus
BY JACK JONAS

BY JACK JONAS
This Is the story of a brief,
friendly moment in the lives
of a couple of Washington
people.
A young fellow who used to
ride q certain bus to school
each morning became quite
chummy with one Of the ope-
rators on that line.
In mild contravention of
the rules. they talked Of 'yari-
Gus things as the bus went
along It's route, and dis
covered they were compatible
morning companions "a rare
thing In this modern world.
Then the boy and his fami-
ly moved to Q different part
Of town. and the boy didn't
see his friend, the bus driver,
for several months.
One morning recently. an
errand took him back to his
former neighborhood. And
when he boarded the old bus
line, there was his driver
friend.
They were the only ones
aboard, and fell right into
their old chit-chat pattern,
They had gone only a few
blocks when the driver, feel
ing the cheer Of reunion, said:
I'm a few minutes early
this morning. Let's have q
Coke"
He stopped the bus at the
corner and left 1t standing
while he and the boy went to
q filing station vending ma
chine, where the driver treat
ed.
When they finished their
drink, they got back on the
bus, and public transporta-
ton on that line was resumed.
Parcel
A soldier checked . small
canvas travelling bag at the
Union Station checkroom
one day last week, and said
he would pick It up ut train
time, about an hour away.
Ten minutes later, the
redcap on duty was looking
for something else In the
area where the soldiers bag
was waiting. The redcap's
eyes popped when he saw
the bag inching slowly
across the floor.
Station officials opened 1t
and . small dog jumped
out. Seemed happy to see
people, too.
Typists
The old phrases. Now i
the time FOR all good men to
come to the aid Of the party
and "The quick brown fox
jumped over the lazy dogs
back" seem to be losing favor
among practicing typists. A
machine in a downtown dis
count store had q piece OF
paper inserted and these lines
written on 1t:
You are my love"
Gust a few words to let you
know"
you you you you you you
you"
store is going to close"
my arn't we cute?"
I'VE the people Of the
United States, in order to
form a more perfect bpfffff."
Pennies
Someone must have lost
a pocketful Of change when
the cement was new in the
sidewalk at mid block on
Fourteenth street between
II and / streets NV.
A man walking along the
east side Of the street spot
ted some pennies cropping
through. He hurried into .
nearby restaurant and told
q waitress about It. She
came out to see for herself
and counted 26 coins, all
pennies, all worn, all firm-
~ imbedded.

A once-in-a-lifetime experi-

|3-AIorm, $4,000 Fire
Hits Brentwood Village

A three-alarm fire heavily
damaged a three-story building
housing the Brentwood village
executive ofiices at 1911 Rhode
Island avenue NE. early today.
Tentative estimates placed the
damage at about $4,000.
Vast amounts Of water poured
on the flames to prevent their
spreading to the Village Theater
or adjoining stores. Water spout
ling from a broken main inside
the building caused added dam
age and the runotf glazed the
streets with ice for several
blocks. Sanding crews reduced
the traffic hazard.
Trio Runs TO Firemen
The scene is across Rhode
Island avenue from Engine Com
Ipany rs. The fire originated In
the rear of the building out OF
sight of firemen. 1t was reported
|by three men who ran across
the street to the engine house.
The first alarm was at 2:56:
