OH HELP ... Once there was a little moron who found a typewriter. He felt the urge to write something, so he collected a pile of paper and very seriously set to work typing at a great rate of speed, filling one sheet after another. This remarkable activity soon aroused the curiosity of the little moron's best friend, who asked, "What are you doing?" Whereupon, the moron answered, "I'm writing a wonderful adven ture story. Here-read it." So the friend took the pages and read: General Jones leaped upon his faithful horse and shouted, "Gid dyap, giddyap, giddyap, giddyap, giddyap . . . "and so on for pages and pages. "What's this?" asked the friend. "The guy jumps on his horse and then there's nothing but pages of giddyap." "Oh, said the moron, "Can I help it if the horse won't move?" MIDWINTERS ...

Belles Ring Out In Ole Kowtown I'm a little bug ... not a jitterbug . but I did go to Kowtown's Mid winters. I was unnoticed and ig nored, but I was there when it all happened. I saw all the Carolina Casanovas donning garnet and black rat caps and hailing every passing vehicle, including our scurry-topued antique . . . I saw all the cutie co eds packing their most daring gar ments into borrowed bogs to ,clp transform them into captivating cow-belles to snitch an extra heart or so . . . I saw that boy put some thing (must have been a water bot tle) in his pocket . . . I was there when the music started, and still going ctrng when it :topped I saw them take that boy off the floor (he must have fainted) I saw that girl go home right after the dance and come right back out in a few minutes (I wonder how her date could change his appearance so completely in so short a time, he looked almost like a different per son) ... I saw her coming in squint ing at the sunshine (but it must have been moonshine) . . . I was right there on the rim when that boy was changing a tire with a blowout for one made of shredded rubber bands . . . I was right there when-but we won't go into that.1 After all, I'm only a bug, and I'm not supposed to talk. How to W in one eat Treat yourself Swholesome, deli Spearmint Gum. Helps keep brea bright.
