gers of dawn creeping across
the azure eastern sky, the
blood-stained sulphurous is

to the west, or the silken
clouds of midnight floating
across the shuddering moon!

Old Haywood Snugg says
that when you see woman
knitting a tiny garment nova

suit. Heywoods little bitty
buddy, Bascom Funch, agrees
with Haywood and says that
ne saw a girl out at Madison
Lake who had on a bathing
suit made out of two corn
plasters and a sling-shot.
Heywood's girl friend, Big
Nancy, herself an out-sized
mermaid, was heard to say
before jumping off. the high
board, "To hear them fellers
tell it the apple of mans eye
is little peach with the pref
tiest pair!"

MUSIC
Millions of people watch the
Lawrence Welk program on
television. Have you heard a
little fellow named Pete Foun-
tain play clarinet in Welk's
newly formed Dixieland
group? We had the good for
tune to meet Pete few weeks
ago down in old New Or
leans. The New Orleans Jazz
Club gave a farewell party for
Pete a couple of days before
he went off to join the Welk
organization. Pete is a pint
sized guy with hald head and
a goatee. No one would notice
him in a crowd but when he
starts to play-brother! The
iammed club that night gave
Pete a standing ovation and
that's something coming from
a couple of hundred seasoned
Dixielanders. Pete is rated as
the best in his field today and
he deserves 1t.

billion in sales by auto deal

600 hometown newspapers
helped.
WRITING
Most of the novels we've
read lately should have been
printed on dirty linen with un-
washed type.
ADVERTISING AGE
The most solid explanation
of what advertising does is
this-You can't make 'em buy,
but if you make 'em want to
buy, you can't stop 'em from
buying!
LAST WORD

long-lasting as temporary"
