you think bilingual education would really help.
Well, we blew the leiaon WILLA KRAL war teaching her ion,
Robin.
Robin the $2.50 third priae in lart week's football contest,
to 1 congratulated him on winning.
He answered, "Well, It'l mother'* fault I won. "
I asked howcum.
He explained, "Well, she mailed my entry In Jtwt to prove
to me you can't win anything on that kind of stuff. "
Ooops ! Sorry, Wilia.
The City of Crosbyton electricity was off about 30 min-
utes the other night and had quite an effect on folks the next
morning who didn't know it had been off.
ROBERT AND-JOANN LANCASTER, for example, looked
at the electric clock and sat around drinking coffee and rea-
ding the new>paper before he went on his bus route. When he
arrived at school he was surprised to see so many poeple there
men later rounu out ne was running 5t minutes behind.
OC1E FORBES sauntered into the Review, looked at the
clock and dashed to the phone to call Sue Ann to hurry and
get the children ready for school.

the clock was slow.

JOE HARGROVE got even with SHORTY JORDAN, but the
nervous strain of it all aim oat took the joy out 6f It.
Some time ago Joe had ordered a cup of coffee and Shorty
had doctored it up to taste pretty awful.
Later, when there was a crowd, Joe decided to even the score.
He was paying for some hamburgen and drinks, so he wrote a
check to Shorty for $5. Shorty carried the check around for a
good while before putting It In the cash register.
Joe watched, thinking in a minute Shorty would notice that
Joe had signed It "U. R. Easy."
Shorty didn't say a word then . . . or for a’ week.
Joe just knew Shorty was planning to send Sheriff Fletcher
Stark after him or something.
