opoIoqized to the woiter-"S Sorry.
lust have the exoct amount to cover
this check. Not even q nickel more
do have left over for you" Replied
the Woiter, snotching back the chect
LET me see where ! mode my mis-.
toke."
MY PHONE rong the other doy :.
picked it up end in less thon 80 sec.
onds he'd accepted an invitation to
whot turned out 10 be as pleasant q
time as ] hove ever spent at the Min.
neopoIis Groin Exchange. departed
for the Exchange and went directly
TO the auditorium where ! wos met by
Al Donohoo. Cedric he sold, Il
went TO show you something think

WELL, enjoy il did. Seventeen and
OnC-U0U eUG U4nES

preview showing of bTond new sound
film prePored by the Groin Exchonse,
entitled Strictly Public" ] have seen

APRIL Is will soon be upon us, so
this moy be q good time to consider
this: De GouIIe's tax experts ore
startling Frenchmen who for years

their tax returns. Hereafter if tax
payer has q male serVont, his income
will be estimated at ST 500 addition
al; if he sports q new cor, the income
tax man will assess him S so per unit
of horsepower; if the toxpoyer owns
q rocehorse, that odds 5 900 QUITO
moticolly to his income tax, and the
list continues to olIocote more for
each additional so-coIled luxury.
They're saying De GouIIe will lose q
lot of votes, but France will get lot
of badly needed revenue Some
men itch for success when they should
be scratching for it >.
STRICTLY PUBLIC" does an omoz-
ing JOB of explaining. in q most inter

Groin Exchange. Eoeh step OF moFket-
ing is clearly explained from The time

reaches the uItimote consumer.

floor OF the Gosh Market and the
