Wife: “I thought you were go-
ing to the lodge meeting.”
Husband: “It was postponed.
The wife of the Grand Exalted
Invincible Supreme Potentate
wouldn’t let him out tonight.”
Our entire family is agog over'
the beginning of football prac-
tice. Each morning the writer,
three kids, and the dog and the'
cat line up to watch the boys
enroute to the practice field. And
each evening we line up to see
the same procedure. We can re-
member in the dim ages when
‘all the high school girls drove
round and round the school
block, just to get a look at their
favorite hero. The present foot-
ball field has a definite disad-
vantage from the feminine view-
point—it is too far from the
public thoroughfare.
* * *
We used to take the football
boys home from practice, weep
iat the pep rallies, suffer at
cracked skulls, and come home'
hoarse but triumnhant after a
■victory. We doubt that times have
changed so much as to the way
of a maid toward athletes. All
things change, but not this!
Kenneth Kimes seems to have
the toughest job to date—keeping
up with the water jug and such.
And we have noticed several
limps and woebegone expres-
sions, probably denoting sorei
muscles—and this is only the be-
ginning!
Wish Margaret McQuary would
give out the secret on her per-
fect suntan—how does she do it?
* * *
Does anyone in town confuse
Mrs. Paul West with Mrs. Henry
Atkeisson—they are look-alikes.
And this column has twin troub-
le in this town too. We can’t tell
the Scruggs apart, nor the lit-
tle Andersons nor the Kents. In
fact, this column is so stupid we
still call Mooney Holloway,
'“Glen”, about half the time—in
case you don’t know, Glen and
Lyn grew up here, and managed
to confuse many. All right, so
we are stupid!
* * *,
The brick terrace we have
wanted so long has become a
reality. The whole family is en-
joying it. We figured out a sim-
plified version, just getting bricks
laid, sweeping sand in the
cracks, pouring a little water
over—it suits us. And that is
what every family aims at—a
backyard for invidual use. Gina
and Frisky play on our terrace
every morning, Sha and Wyn use
it in the afternoon, and the
adults make use of it after sup-
per. The only like commodity
around our house is TV—which]
/the men use all the time. Other
women complain of the same
fault in their males—so guess
we have a very normal family.
* * *
About the only thing the
.heavy dew We had accomplished
was to force this writer to mow
the* yard—and we don’t consider
that such a good accomplish-
ment. We still believe it will
really rain some day. Mr. Coates!
