GOOD DEED. No greater OBJ.
servance of the Commandments
Love Thy Neighbor" ever was
bought to our attention thar
what took place on Potomac
ave. recently.
Here is what happened:
Mr.. and Mrs. Tom Pesosky
and three children were plan.
ming to leave town for a few
days before Christmas.
The morning Of the day OF
departure, fire struck theii
home at 14604 Potomac. Dam
age was SO bad, the Pesoskys
had to leave town to live with
relatives
Oddly enough, neighbors in
sisted they leave Immediately
Not because the Pesoskys were
undesirable, but because action
was planned by about a dozen
neighboring families.
When the family had left,
the damaged furniture in the
burnt-out home was cleaned and
moved to vacant quarters up
stairs. The unfortunate family's
clothing, bed sheets, pillow
cases and so forth that were
soiled in the fire were taken
to homes in the neighborhood
and the good ladies washed all
Meanwhile, the men began
cleahlng up the house and furn-
iture. Scrubbed smoke-coated
walls, aired water-dampened
furniture and repaired damaged
appliances.
OF course, when the family
returned just few days ago,
its astonishment was prodig-
ious.
We talked to Mrs. PesoSky
who in a choked-voise expressed
the thanks of the family to
the fine neighbcrs.
We referred to the Pesoskys
as being unfortunate because
Of the misshap-but who could
ever claim to be the luckless
with such friends.
1t is our intention to next
week publish the names of
those who have given new life
to one Commandment-"Love
Thy Neighbor!"
BELATED GOOD DEED. A
chicken in every pot, no doubt,
is good for the country, but
one in the wrong automobile
could afford amusing compli-
cations.
Such was the case with Mrs.
Clover Palmer who had pre-
pared a sumptuous roasttr full
of golden-b brown chicken for a
get together Of her family on
Christmas.
Perhaps it was the thought
of the pleasant gathering of a
dozen relations. Or maybe she
was oversome by the aroma of
the dazzling meal as she car
ried the food outside Of her
home at 1858 Woodwork rd.
to her brothers car.
At any rate, Mrs. Palmer
put the Christmas dinner in
the wrong car. The car sped off
and it looked like quite a few
people were going to go with
out a holiday dinner.
But, our heroine was quail
=. fled for the crisis, and although
it was sad because her efforts
seemed to have gone for
naught. she went out and pur-
chased five barbecued chick
ems and the big family dinner
was on.
At the time, Mrs. Palmer ex-
pressed the wish, whoever
drove off with the golden
brown chicken enjoyed it; but
would please return the roaster.
Well. what do you think hap
pened?
On New Years day what
should be found in front of
Mrs. Paln1er's home but the
roaser full of golden brown
chicken-frozen solid.
The theory is that the per-
son in the "wrong car" only
discovered the unlimited cargo
on New Years and hastily re-
traced his (or her steps and
left the food on the curb.
And, as did our other tale,
this had a happy ending also.
Because Mrs. Palmer and family
the New Year off, right
by consuming a roaster full of
thawed out gold e n brown
