The
Rambler
White Elephants
Still in Demand
BY JACK JONAS

Let's drop over to Burke,
Va, for a story that has moth
ing at all to do with airportS.
1t happened some weeks back,
and concerns the adventures
of a farm wagon, minus one
wheel.
A couple who work in Wash
ington moved to Burke a few
years ago. The place they
bought included the wagon.
1t sat around for a while, not
being much good to anybody.
Then, last year, along came
the annual Burke auction for
the benefit of the fire de-
partment.
The wagon went to the auc-
ton. Despite the lack of a
wheel, it sold for So to a
neighbor of the couple in
volved. When the neighbor
took it home, his wife was not
too happy about the deal.
Then it sat around in their
yard for a year.
This year, there it was again
at the Burke auction-Still
minus the wheel. Everything
costs more these days, and this
year the wagon went for So.
The couple who bought it
originally along with their
place were curious as to why
anyone would want such a
wagon. The buyers reason
was logical enough. He was
building a pony cart for his
son and wanted the springs
and other metal parts.
So the couple watched the
wagon carted off on the
buyers truck, and mentally
busted their hands, thinking
that was the last they would
see of it.
But on their way home from
the auction they saw the
wagon in the middle of a main
Burke street. 1t had jolted
off the buyers truck.
Il gave him a piece of rope
to tie it back on" the man
said. after following it
around all these years, l felt
it was the least I could do, to
get it on its way to something
useful"

Rambling

A lady, noting the sign,
dogs Strictly Prohibited" be-
side the wide-open gates at
the Zoo, calls to inquire if
Washington's dog population
has become literate.
Our Rochambeau Building
correspondent informs us
that he was by there recently
and noticed three automo-
biles parked in the Connec-
ticut avenue buildings drive
way-two Of them parked
across the white line the ICA
painted there recently to 60
with its sign warning mo-
togIsts not to cross over it. ..

Prospect

A fellow was watching tele-
vision with his daughters the
other night after mother had
taken a rare vacation by
going to bed early.
The women wrestling show
came on, and after watching
them throw one another about
a bit, the youngest of the
daughters declared pensively:
1--WE ought to get mommy in
condition, and make a lot of
money"
But our friend says that
getting mommy into condition
for things like that is too
horrible to contemplate.

Appetite

Young boys are not noted
for their liking Of salads, but
when the salad was put on
the table at a recent neigh
bOrhOOd party, one 7-year-
old pitched in and polished
his off in a. hurry. Then he
asked for some of his
fathers.
How much do you want?"
the father asked.
"MOre than you think ]
should have. Okay?"

SurpIus?

Hank Leader, born and
reared a city boy, passed a
parking garage on L street
near Fifteenth street a couple
of days ago and saw, growing
in a tree well, several stalks
of something too tall for city
grass.
Wheat" he told himself.
"Wheat?" his friends scoffed
when he told them. What
do you know about it?"
He rushed back to the tree
well to get some samples, but
someone had been there aheac
of him and cut it down. He
managed to retrieve one stalk
however-and it WGS wheat
Luck
Oh, that lucky Archie
COnnOrS.
Mr.. COnnOrS heads the

Now he's telling it around
how he has Mrs. America
and Miss America enrolled
as prospective drivers Mrs.
America is Mrs. Angel
America, who called to ap-
ply one morning recently,
and Miss Americana rela-
tive-is Miss Rita America,
who called the same day to

made our way back up the
river to camp. glad to be ashore
for a bite Of food and a warm
up at the camp stove before the
afternoons fishing.
Only one bit Of excitement
cropped UP during the afternoon.
The wind blowing from the
northeast. and the cool drizzle
and dropping temperature made
1t an ideal day for pike fishing
So we f1shed the big weed beds at
the head Of the lake and Bill
Immediately hooked q FISH. jan
ice tied into one at the same
time and there was quite a
scramble to get both fish aboard
and unlocked without injury to
the fish to say nothing OF the
anglers. Those pike have vicious
teeth and don't hesitate TO use
them.
A pair OF long-nosed pliers
always comes in handy at such
times. How a johnson silver
minnow with weed guard can
get so tangled with fish and
landing net is hard to explain 10
anyone who has not had the
experience. We hooked and re-
leased several more fair-sized
pike. but none Of any great mo-
ment, so went back to camp and
started to windup always nee
essary ahead Of breaking camp
for the trip home.
This final chore is always q
sad one to US. We hate the
thought Of leaving this lovely
spot. in spite of rain and wind
and poor fishing.
