Mary Lou Baker Says:— (Miss Baker’s famous column ap¬ pears in more than one hundred and forty daily newspapers.) Dear Miss Baker, I have been writing ' to many service men who are in the occu¬ pation army in Japan. Fifteen of them have come home, and each wants to marry me. What shall I do? Yours truly, Nigel Johnson. Dear Miss Johnson, Pick out the one you want, and send the rest to me; I’ll take care of them for you. M. L. B. Dear Miss Baker, My pet goldfish, Oscar, has a very strange expression on his face, and lies around all the time. What shall I do to cure him of his indifference to life? Norma Edwards. Dear Miss Edwards, Your goldfish probably has mis¬ placed something and is trying to remember where he put it. As goldfishes’ troubles are usually not serious, try to get his mind on something else, and maybe he’ll snap out of it. M. L. B. Dear Miss Baker, My little child, Addlepate, cries a lot. This keeps my wife awake and vexes the neighbors consider¬ ably. What should we do? Yours sincerely, Robert McKee. Dear Mr. McKee, I have found that a little chloroform is most effective in such cases. M. L. B. Magician Hess Visits School Mrs. Barbara Hite Hess enter¬ tained the high school last week with her magician’s show. Hav¬ ing been instructed by her fam¬ ous husband, she ably performed many mysterious things, such as lifting the toupee from ’Mr. When Ck Hochstetler’s head while he was 40 feet away, turning up the hands of the clock while the teachers’ attention was attracted to a dancing dog, and drawing Mr. Ostermeyer through the eye of a needle. Star Given Title Martha Lou Miller, current film star soon to be seen in “Follies of 1957,” has been voted by the 149th Squadron of Sea Scouts the title of “The Girl Most Likely.” Dream House Plans Revealed Thomas Thacker, well known architect, has just made public his plans for the “House of Day- After-Tomorrow.” The front hall has a closet, the door of which can be used either as a bed or a bob-sled, in which is built a com¬ bination piano and washing ma¬ chine. This was thought espec- ialy fitting, as the modern house¬ wife must accompany her wash with “R inso White” or some other sprightly song. The “House of Day-After-To¬ morrow” will be on exhibition this week, and after Sunday will be shown by appointment only. Preserves Win Prize and Man Miss Helen Kitchen won the blue ribbon for her comsilk pre¬ serves which she entered in the State Fair this year. Both the ribbon and the preserves are be¬ ing shown in the window of Har¬ ry Johnston’s grocery store. Miss Kitchen’s preserves won not only a ribbon, but a man! The judge, Algernon Z. Murga- troyd, was so taken by her cook¬ ing that he immediately asked for her hand in marriage. It was found out later that he was delirious with ptomaine, but Miss Kitchen, assisted by her brothers with their rifles, still expects to evchange vows next week. Nurse Finds Rabies Cure Nurse Mabel Cohen announced today that she had found a sure cure for rabies. By using an extract made from dinosaur eggs, she has discovered a medicine which not only cures rabies but also rids the patient of stuffy head colds, simple neuralgia pains, and dandruff. The new product will be sold under the name “Llaeruc” which, when spelled backwards is “Cure All.” Miss Cohen thinks that her product is a real cure (and Hens¬ ley.) Sanders Passes Service Exam Charles Sanders has success¬ fully passed the difficult Civil Service Examination and is now the Dog Catcher of Morgan County He will begin his work next Monday. 21 Classified Ads Wanted: One pair of crutches to exchange for large bear trap. Boyd Musgrave, R. R. 29. Lost: A purse, two feet, one inch, by one foot, three-eighths inches. Contains: 5 tubes lip¬ stick, 3 combs, 2 pencils, 15 let¬ ters, and 2 billfolds containing 1 twenty-seven cents in all. Rose¬ mary Rhodes, R. R. 2. Personal: Dearest, please come home. I didn’t mean it when I hit you with the kitchen stove. All is forgiven. Thelma K. Lost: Engine out of my car. As I am used to being pushed, I didn’t notice the loss until this morning, so it could be any place between the Candy Kitchen and my house. Jean Bennett. Lost: Front fender on car. Last seen hanging on a telephone pole. If found please return to Don Albertson. Lambert Wins Sleepers’ Title “I owe it all to the experience I had in high school,” said Mr. Richard Lambert, after winning the “National Sleepers’ Contest” last week. Mr. Lambert won by one minute and three seconds. His closest rival was Robert Robinson, also of Martinsville. “I’m going to practice real hard this coming year,” said Mr. Robinson. “Then maybe I’ll win at the next con¬ test.” New Line At Hawkins Co. Paul Gregson, manager of the Betty Hawkins Cosmetics Com¬ pany, announces an entirely new line of beauty aids: colored cos¬ metics to match costumes. Among the new shades are Sea Green Face Powder, Lilac Purple rouge, Daffodil Yellow lipstick, and Snow White mascara. Johnson Wins Dupont Prize Miss Harriett Jean Johnson has won Dupont’s contest for the most durable plastic at a low cost. Miss Johnson submitted her re¬ cipe for biscuits at suggestion of Miss Virginia Allen, Home Econ¬ omics supervisor for Morgan County, and won the prize. “To think,” said Miss Johnson, “that I owe all my success to my ex¬ perience in the high school cafe¬ teria!”
