But we didn't get to go. The
missus was -tired after working
in the yard, and we just didn’t
want to leave her.
Then how did we know th

Mr. ClTTLE has what it takes
to deliver the mall. ..
In our mall today, among the
subscription renewals, is a let-
ter from FRED PIETSCH of
Moulton showing us the pencil
proof of a coin just a little bit
older than FERDIE APPELT’S
“four bit piece” which is dated
1829 . . . FRED has one just like
it dated 1818 and that is really
a coin from the long ago ... If
it could talk it would tell some
interesting stories, something as
interesting as the talk MONTIE
McCORD was handing his friends
here the other day . . . MONTE
has been deputy tax assessor-
collector in Yoakum for 28 years,
working for RUDY VALENTA,
for JOE MUNSCH, E. A. TURK

only a few of them to be found'

lecture on philosophy, he inform

religion and liquor were just
about the same since he had
been advised not to get enough
of either to get drunk ...

Around the town we see that
KATHY BOZKA and CARL AN-
THONY BOZKA are none the
worse after attending the Barn
Dance at A 4 M, where MATT
Jr. showed them a nice time a-
mong the college students . . .
It was also MATT’s Birthday so
they helped him have a “Happy
Birthday” . . .
"^Te doubt if we could convince
ARLENE TILL and DOROTHY
MARESH that there wasn’t a sUll
bigger dance some other place,
because it was ARLENE’S first
dance or would you say that was
her debut into the swing circles
(we’ll tell you more about dances
some other time but we want to
see first if we get run out of
town before then) . . There Is,
anyway, a nice new group of
writers and reporters coming up,
those like EULALIE KOCIAN,
BILLIE RUTH MARTIN, JOYCE
MLADENKA and some others we
know . . . How would ADOLPH
BARTON and VICTOR and
HELEN PAVLISKA and JOSE-
PHINE MATULA do to help
pound out copy? Perhaps MARY
ANN CARPENTER doesn’t need
them all to publish the CMOA
Bulletin, the magazine that has
rated praise all the way from San
Francisco to New York . . .
Time marches on and here it is
May already, time for May poles
and festivals, and May Queens
. . . Still another publication
reaches our desk and this time
it's the May Queen, edited by
