have a complete report on the
number of qualified Orange

TICK'S GOAT
Commissioner T. R. (Tick)
Granger was down in the dumps
when he appeared at the court-
Voose this morning. He was wor-
ried, and wondered what he was
gobig to do. Tick told a few list-
eners that his family's pet nanny
was meandering around the
prosit porch of his home late
yesterday, and out of curiosity
she stuck her head in the front
door. She saw something green
Ranging on a string over next to
■ wall and it must have looked
appetizing to her because she
walked over to it and started
munching away. But Tick him-
*ralf happened along about that
time and the goat beat a hasty
retreat back to the front yard.
Poor Tick, he was too late. The
‘poet’s meal happened to be his
phone book, and the pet had
oaten her way through the “C's"
before she waa caught. “And
