Cruising I Around j; # 11 with "Skipper" Ha<I a letter from an old pal of some thlry yearn ago and what he bad to say brought back some mighty pleasant memories of the old high school daya when we kids had what wo called the old gas house gang. * * Gee 1 recall the "gas house gang" That gathered at Western and Bluff The Bead End Kids of the 90's And gosh, were those kids tough? Sot in any,felonious way Hut full of the very old Nick Wanning their backs 'gainst the old store wall Well, they never missed a trick. The farmers that came to the market place. On their way Into town were waylaid With a shower of snowballs and other things. Twas a veritable fusllade. There was Harley, "Red", Benule and Jack, There was Ed and Freddie and BUI At the clarion yell "There's Brennan the cop" We d streak In a flash for the hill. Like a bunch of monkeys we'd scale the slope Of frowning old Leonard's Bluff And hiding among the tombstones there We made searching ? well ? pretty tough. 1 passed there when north last summey All was peaceful and still No lineup 'gainst the old brick wall Brooding there under the hill. Kids today haven't time for that Their thrills are already made Now they're all lined up at the movies' i To witness some screen escapade. That dear old town had our gas house gang We made It our rendezvous That old corner looked lonesome, somehow Now without any of you. ? I noticed by a newspaper the other day that quintuplets were' reported horn to the wife of a newspaper man in Mexico. Which makes me realize just what some reporters will do to get a story. . * ny the way, shouldn't there be some kind of a medal for the person who can keep the tomatoes in_ a to-rmun--sinidwrch "under coptrol while eating, without squishing them out on himself, the table or his companion0 Do you remember way back when men wore plug hats and escot ties? Among the things which I detest Are poets, sickly at their best, Who offer up anemic praise To birds and bees and summer days. l p Mt. Holly way the high school grid coach is all het up because yours truly, in newspaper coverage of the Camden-Mount Holly game mentioned tite fact that the Camden team was made up of second and third string players, the regulars being in the grandstand. m w w The Mt. Holly mentor broadoast an indignant denial of the Camden story an I said his team played the regular Camden team. Well, boys will be and we still stick to our origin' or-least In fact, we are willing post a neat side wager that Mount llollv wouldn't have a chance against "regulars". Camden is on the eve of an Inva.-i.-u?the Northern ' visitors. Successful merchants advertise to get business?then keep on advertising to keep It. ? * * Walter Winchell says the greatest tribute we can pay the unknown soldier Is not to have any more of them. From Florida comes word that the tourist season is starting with a rush. Winter tourist traffic at Miami is already 20 per cent ahead of the volume at the same time last year. Which of course, in view of the wails we heard from down that way last fall, does not mean a thing. Sound trucks traversing the streets may attract the attention of some but 'hey are considered a public nuisance in>-<fthers. / It is*the true spirit and significance of Thanksgiving rather than the date that should be of moment to all Americans. Note to Europe?Those who live by the sword shall perish by taxes. '" . -Many passengers on the steamship Iroquois were In eh angry mood when they landed in America. They didn't think they had been treated right because some of them had to sleep on the floor and they were "watered" three times a day like cattle. Instead of being thankful to be landed in America safe and sound, they squawked plenty. Little Finland should be kept out of the current European conflict Lt for no other reason than to preserve as a museum piece the only country that has been paying its war debts to the rest of the world. The turnout of grid fans at the Camden-Brookland-Cayce gaMe last Friday night was one of the poorest in some time?due no doubt to the fact that the visiting outfit was not taken seriously as a possible winner. ? Coach Villepigue used all members of his squad, so every lad in the golden colors had a chance to work up an appetite for Saturday morning's breakfast table. The second and third stringers showed a lot of pep and were on the alert for every break. Camden made some fifteen first downs as against one scored by the Columbia lads. Our tip for tonight?Dont' miss the Camden-Chester game . If everything is true what is said of the ini vaders, you are going to see a ding ^dong battle. There should be plenty of action, thrills and real football. # Charlotte gridders feel that they were robbed of a victory at Columbia last week. The boys have all kinds of praise 'for the Columbia players but they say the officiating had a bad odor. , By the way, this will 'astonish you ?as lt did me. In all of the series played between the Yanks and the the Chicago White Sox last season the Yanks won but one?yet finished far ahead In the league race while the White Sox finished fourth. Somewhat Ironical, eh? ? The big sensation of the professional football league this season as he was in 1938 is Ward Cuff, the Marquette varsity kicker, who is the scoring peg of the New York Giants. Last Sunday, In a game against the Chicago Bears, won by the Giants 16 to 13, lt was the educated toe of Cuff against the talented arm of Sid Luckman. The Giants baffled in touchdown drives by the Bears, one time being held on the one foot line, called on Cuff to strut his educated toe stuff. Cuff kicked goals, three of them, from 43, the 40 and the 24 yard line and also added a tenth point to his total by kicking an extra point following the lone touchdown by the Oianta, Two weeks ago Cuff kicked three goals to lead the Giants to a victory over Washington.

For years Mrs. iUsther Marcus of Philadelphia, carried her life savings with her everywhere.

Meets The Mt IMsgah home domonstration club held Its regular monthly meeting Friday afternoon. October 2*>, at the home of Mrs I.onnio Drown. The president, Mr* Ira Kills, was In charge of the meeting The song for the month, "Come Ye Thankful People", was sung- Mrs May Bird gave the devotional. The roll was called, and the minutes of the last meeting were read by the secretary, Mrs C t W. liolley. At this time a short memorial service was held In honor, of Mrs. 1-lnxle Johnson, a very active member of the club. Goals for the year were discussed and club programs for each month were filled out on our project sheet. At the conclusion of the business hour, Miss Fowell took charge and talked on the "Food Budget". A well balanced day's food consists of one quart milk, live vegetables and fruits, also a raw fruit or vegetable dally. The hostess, assisted by her daugh-; ter. Miss Vallerle Drown served deliclous refreshments. The next meeting Is to be held with Mrs. C. W. liolley. It has been estimated that more than half the men in Newfoundland are engaged in the tlshing industry. Impatient Telephone Users Your telephone rings. No one la near enough to answer Instantly, but from wherever you may be, you start toward It, hurrying- Perhaps ten or fifteen seconds elapse before you can reach It. Then you grab the Instrument hastily and say "Hello! Hello! Hello!" but there Is no reply. The person on the other end of the call has, because of unreusoned Impatience, hung up. Why should users of a telephone ho like that? Why should they be more Impatient for an answer to a telephone ring than to the ring of a doorbell? No one, except on Spook Night, rings a doorbell and runs Instantly. Hut, for some strange reason or for no reason, a user of the telephone is impatient, unimaginative and not always considerate. Therefore every day people hurry from whatever they are doing in their, homes to say a fow futile "Helios", into a telephone, then to replace the, receiver, and return to normal routine a little worried or annoyed. Who was that calling. Was the call important. I There is small chance that the call was important; not one chance in a million that the culler was so frantic he could not wait long enough for you to come down stairs. Probably some friend called to suggest u card game, or to tulk about the next club meeting. Hut you, who answer In vain, cannot be certain. Thereforo you are a little annoyed, perhaps a little worried. Or maybe a little provoked that the caller has so little Imagination.? Columbia State.
