Because someone else felt ambitious and handed in some move additions signing our identity to it— their additions were added to our col umns. We dor\’t know whether they were supposed to have been helping us or hurting us—never the less, we are responsible for every item and we want to thank them also-••■but frOm now on, if you want to add an addition to our column, hand it first to us, and we’ll read it over. If it’s the lick, it sticks” otherwise - - well • we are sure this will not happen again. Thank you Well, to begin with, it was one of those summer nights when ev en the smallest of the stars were allowed, out. Cool breezes blew evry now and then. Trees made shadows along the pathways that could be spotted on the fain drag. The main hangouts on the stroll were jammed like sardines in a can, and curious ears listened in tensely to that popular race char acter of today fight to win. I’m speaking of none other than Joe Louis, who fought last Wed night. The Rocks who had betted were as nervous as candleflames —of course the Cats who had not betted were as mutual, as a pair of shears and restless as a rumor There Were others who were a fraid that Louis was about to lost this battle and when he won in the 13th round the Studds were like bees after honey on the main drag. However, there were some “major Hooples” who pretended | like they knew all the time that Louis was bound to win. FLASH! That cute little short stop, Dora Nelson, meets life as though it was her own invention • • Proof seen several nights at the Ritz wit hher daily heart beat, and several nights later with a cat, CHANGED OVERNIGHT That’s what Maggie Johnson ;s since she is planning on visiting her brother for several weeks - • out of the city of course. She's been as busy as a cat with two mice. What’s up the line Maggie ? COULD HE BE LONELY? That tall and handsome Harold Berton, who locJfcs as though he were trying to find a spot to des pise most of the dames, seems lonely as a sigh at times. Sure ly you couldn’t be linely when I heard a couple of chicks saying “that they could fall for you the way coal goes into basements.” THE GOOD SAMARITAN That fine man about the town ‘Skin Davis” had a big bankroll and was treating a number of pals and his sweetie at a hash shop on tht avenue, the other night- “Skin aaid that he was on, but his jive must have been frone.” DEATH TAKES A HOLIDAY BUT FAILED It seems as though Death fail ed to take a holiday Wednesday, June the 18th, for right after the winner of the fight was announced a man dropoed dead right in Duf fy’s drug store. WHAT’S THIS? A Boom! A Crash,! and the breaking of glass is all you could hear for one moment; an ambui-1 anct siren and bystanders is all you could hear the next few hours .... At last the noise quieted down a bit, when the “Blue Heaven” was spotted on one side of the street, and another car, upside down on the other side. Both cars were smashed, smoking and goin’ on,— wasting gasoline. They didn’t seem to be feeling well, hjowever, The victims were pretty well on the level THE LICK OF THE WEEK was that fine dance given at the Elks Monday night for the Soldiers. Everyone seemed to have been getting a kick out of it in spite of the heat- Some Studds thought that they could get relief by slopping in the chairs, other Cats came on strong • • ■ • and I do mean strong. I’ll take time out right here to point out some of the facts these ole’ snoops seen or heard:— Luther Taylor and his better half cornin’ on with their fine jit terbugging was quite amusing next on scene was that fugitive from Justice Marcus, darting here and there, jiving whoever was weak enough to fall for his line -. well that wasn’t all, Louise think ing about that romantic soldier that danced a number or two with her-••-and later he pinned off scene. Tall, dark and handsome Pete Doss and Gables’ second, Mose Ransom were just plain ol’ on lookers, didn’t look like they were in the mood for shuffling • Well, for the next item, we spott ed Essie with a soldier who wasn’t at all bad to cast an eye upon - - course you needn’t mention this to Joe-.-.Soup Lawson wasn’t doing so bad, spent l-3rd of the night with Delores Williams. Gro^r and Nora seemed as though they’d rather be looked around at, than j up to, and I’m knowing they had a gay time. Mary Harris pinned on I scene rather late, but she wa< seen at the turning out. I must not forget to mention Johnect who stayed with her soldier like paper on the wall-..-and if you ask me the sack house really did know their stuff when they played that music. Before I forget, I mustn’t forget to mention that slick, but clever Willard Morgan that always makes up with his lover by dancing with her on the last round so he can escort her home The Dolomites had a party last Friday night at the Franklin’s home to celebrate the marriage of those newly weds Mr. and Mrs. Milton Madison. Well, Altha Robinson seem to have topped it at the party when her ex-boy friend, Jackie Williams asked her to join him; and since Altha has i a jaw that have never taken no I for an answer from Jack she couldn’t refuse accepting his in ! vitation. the inseparable couple Jack H. and Glayce T. are what one might say on- Jack hasn’t proposed to Glayce yet, but his voice seems to have an engage ment ring in it. Don’t be too concerned about this statement, you tongue waggers. OVERHEARD CONVERSAT’N One girl related “being an old maid is like death by drowning . really a delightful sensation after one ceases straggling.” IT’S A FACT that taxicabs continue to got more and more streamlined and the drivers remain pretty much the same but you have to admit that they are as inconsiderate as an alarm clocks! WHAT WE HEARD Had a ch|at with that most con fusin’ but amusin’ Jessie Frank lin, and through our conversation we learned that her LIFE and JOY who is in some camp at the present, has cashed on his hands a rare delux, coupe, you know it isn’t exactly a “’41 but it is a car and a car is a car.” SPECIAL BULLETIN: ‘‘Listen my children and you shall catch, Of the midnight ride in the Black Dispatch.” The hostess was no where in sight, For they were preparing the party all-right The party was fine as I was told, Because it was enjoyed by both young and old.” These are the comments made by some witnesses who attended the fine party last Tuesday night, June 17th that was held on Madi son St., in Albright. STOMPIN’ AT THE FONTEN ELLE RECREATION ROOM was the younger set of hip cats and chicks last Monday night. It being a free dance, it was quite a sensation for all those who jitter bugged, mooched, sweated and went on. OLD FRIENDS Katie Beasley and Doris Ware are back on the scene again. Kat ie did look very lonesome or some thin’ of th|e sort while Doris was out of town, never the less the pals are seen often together late ly. Evelyn Stewart seemed quite upset during the intermission at that dance Monday night--a little later, she was all smiles, because she was with her “Bobee”.. He made things OK-—For I am hear ing that he has promised to take her to the races It all happened at about 10:30 Sunday night - •••we all met David. Hughes coming home from R.. . F. house.- At last she has started “Keeping Company” Yes! we caught him on the spot' You'll Find Out— 1. Why Charlotte Hayes and Joe Brooks can’t get along. 2. Why Corrine Seay is play ing so many Cats at once. 3. Why Bessie Taylor and Leo ta Levison keeps up with Altba’s affairs.. 4. Who that good looking boy Doris Ransome is with . 5.

From experience in selling Citrus Fruits by the ‘ pound”, SAFEWAY is convinced this method of measurement is more fair to homemakers and that it should be used in selling all fresh fruits and vegetables. Merely because of custom have many of these foods been priced by the “piece”, “dozen” or ‘bunch”. Variations of size, weight, and quality make value comparisons only approximate fey this method of measurement. Only when the measure is by “weight”, and not by “count”, ea^i accurate values be ascertain ed by homemakers, and enable them to get the most for then money. Therefore, SAFEWAY is now pricing by the “pound” all the following:—Cantaloupes, Beets, Carrots, Green Onions, Celery, Head Lettuce, Radishes, and Turnips as well as Citrus Fruits and other fresh fruits and vegetables. Tops have already been removed from the Carrots, Turnips, and Beets, and of course are not weighed. We feel sure you will heartily and readily agree this is a forward step in better mechandising and that it will enable you to make purchases more accurately, conveniently and economic ally. cantaloupeSl.^""'zi;'c“u,4|/,c BANANAS WHOLESOME FRUIT-...
