! mobile in the Corner Pocket" A
car parked ''in neutral on the
north (high) side of StillWell
Road with its front wheels cauti-
ously turned hard left into and
up on the curb changed Mondays
traditional blue to giddy green for
a few minutes.
The car was parked on the left
facing down hill, by a man. In
this as in so many other things
sex is important. 1t was his wifes
car, but, being man, when he
parked between two cars he left
equal space before and behind. So
-. when the car got tired of wait
ing and Slipped back down off the
curb, its turned in a neat arc,
missing the car in front of it.
1t crossed the street as it came
down the hill with the wheels still
turned, hit the south curb, re-
crossed the street and hit the
north curb where the high en-
bankment caused it to reverse its
course. 1t backed itself directly
into our yard and parked under
the L1itobaY xxyit1do111
Though we thoroughly enjoy
little diversion mornings, espe-
cially when no damage ensues,
there is moral to this story.
Clutch-drivin' men who borrow
their wives cars should park the
way their wives do. Lock tenders
with the car in front and you
won't have to worry about push
ing all those buttons.
The swimming pool (Twin-
brook led. Note. No. THAT isl
will open on May 80 at 1880 a. M,
and the occasion will be marked
by the raising of the Twinbrook
banner on the flag pole on the
parking lot. Thereafter the flag
will serve as signal that the
pool is open and should save con.
siderable wear and tear on the
telephone. The schedule for open
ing the pool this yearlis Saturday

weekdays 4 p. m. until school
closes. After June Is the pool will

tons. The applications will be
taken at the pool office (the bath
house, this Saturday from 10
a. m. to ! P. m. and on May 18 and
May % until the quota of so is

Many have already been spoken
for, so we should advise anyone
who really wants to get in on this
terrific bargain to be there early
this Saturday.
And later Saturday the place to
be is at the school. Where the
annual fair will be in full swing
from IL a. m. to 5 p. m. Wire
engine rides, hot dogs, movies,
/ goodies and goldfish will vie with
the baseball throw, duck pond
and darts in an effort to bring Joy
to the little ones and funds to the
treasury.
The Twinbrook Bowling league
is in action twice week now in
an effort to make their marks be-
fore the hot weather can wilt
! their averages. Another signs of
impending summer is the aban-
donment of clothing and equip
ment at the Fairgrounds. Some
of the stuff is collected by par
ents after day or two and some
is too big or too battered to bring
home, but such as we salvage, we
shall report, tho it's apt to be
week or two late. On hand at the
moment is quite nice red plaid
sport shirt, approximately size 10,
was found draped on a bush at
playground No. 1. Come and get
it.
