Second-story man Handy Andy Andrews, renowned King of the Underworld tsometimes referred to as Warren- dalej, was picked up by police today after the Killer-Diller's sticky fingerprints were found on the safe of the Safford Sweete Shoppe. Poor Andy had been indulging in his pet passion . . . lolli- pops! A group of femmes in the local social whirl namely: Valerie Aylsworth, Louise Farese, Ther- esa Bahros, Ruth Moore, Hazel Pike, Phyllis Sharpe, and june Richardson instigated the foun- dation of the Bohunk Ballroom for Bashful Boys. . . . .

The local state has several rep- resentatives to that bevy of unsung heroes and her-- oines that never appear before the moviedom cam- era, namely, Marjorie Daniels, that recently de- signed the gowns for Edna Banis in the picture Daydreams of Tillie, the Typist in which she is starred with Dick Flynn. Then there is Ethel Gib- son, who is official Ufacemaker' at the Franklin- Milesky Studios. Ethel has glamored-up such G. Gfs fglamor girlsj as Patricia Whitten, Myrna Huntley, Edith Winberg, Phyllis True, and Mari- an Colson ..... It was the socially-prominent Irene McCourt-VinLeBlanc wedding ..... The sky was blue. The birds twittered. The wedding march pealed out. They had been married. He looked happy, she looked shy. The little lady had now cancelled the renewal of her hunting license. . . . . The Doe-Doore Publishing Company put a new edition of Great Poems of The Day on their OF 1939 selling list. Perhaps the most touchingly beautiful rhyme was that by Edris Hill, which reads: Someone spilled the sausage wurst A yellow dog got there first He grabbed the sausage like a hog, just 'nother case of dog eats dog. Stylist Anita Weiner will present her annual modes in fashion in the Riseberg Silver Salon next month with Boston's most beautiful models, Betty Hayden, Virginia Felt, Ruth Merklee, Eunice Ohl- sen, Viola Studley, and Kay St. Germaine on dis- play. The wornen will be at the salon to see the gowns, but many a man will be paying for them, so we warn the poor unfortunates .....

WALTHAM HIGH SCHOOL From President Gordon Skakle of the Waltham Chamber of Commerce comes a report that the thriving little community will erect a monument on the Waltham Common to that symbol of the All-American boy .... the drug-store cowboy . . . . .

P. is expected to be tremendous, accord- ing to the statement issued by Assistant Directors Archdeacon, Fran Rogers, Herb Benson, Betts O'Toole, Teresa Ristuccia, and Archie McPherson. . . . .

Believe it or so what fans should be interested to know that the Lenny Hartnett swing outfit is composed of Slushpump Ray Leach, Big Dan Gibbs, Ivory Ickie Bob Belliveau, Allen Horny Garber, Dave Hot Lips Warner, Al Sliver Sucker Wolk, and vocalist Jessie Gebow. Larrys Stanley and Hendri- ken were the composers of Down In The Corn- 1ield, theme for Hartnett and his Corn Cobs . . . . That perennial sophomore, Ignatius Gangi, has again been voted the best looking, best dressed, most popular, most studious, and boy most likely to succeed for the fifth successive year at D'Oraz- zio's Dunce Academy .... Local boy makes good! The O'Neils have been having a circus .... we mean that literally as well as figuratively! Thomas E. and Tom recently opened their Woo- Woo Rodeo in Pintabona's Pididdle Park, Neb., and yesterday's performance went smoothly until a new baton act was introduced with the Bowman Band. Do Butterfield, Re Griffin, and Me Martin twirled and threw their silver batons. Show- horse Amnesia, ridden bareback by Esther O'Neil, didn't like the batons, and waltzed into a gas station, gracefully knocking over three pumpi with his rear axle ..... The law firm of Paradis, Parisi, and Patrick have advertised their business motto as A fool and his money are soon parted . . . see definition of alimony' '.... Campus Chat- ter: Civilization, says Professor Charles Rhodes of Mixed Nuts Prep School, is an upward ten- dency that has enabled mankind to perfect that Raw, Rawn known as the college cheer . . . . Co-eds Muriel Medina, Clara Viscogliosi, Betty Healy, Mary Dunleavy, and Ginny Towne of Uhlin University, Utah, offer the remark that if joe Col- lege can't buy his pants complete with knee-bags, he has 'em built in! .... Sprightly as springtime are the new shoe styles designed by Minnette Ber- kowitz for the George Ford Flatter Flat Feet' Shoe Concern.

The cargo contained well-done fbut decidedly raw in placesj acts of Who Takes Care of the Caretakers Daughter While the Caretaker's Busy Taking Care? the new drah-ma that will open in town Friday ,.... There seemed to be a good deal of conflab in deciding just who were the stars of the show. Captain Bob Saumsiegle had a goodly amount of difficulty in arranging the list of those that would sit at his table, but Gerry Quin- lan, blonde protagonist of the performance was at the Captain's right, next to her was the ex-Mrs. joseph Papa, again Wanda jollatta of stage re- known, and next to her was Norma Cantwell, re- ported as being the other angle in that Margaret Foley-Roy Echman triangle.

WALTHAM HIGH SCHUOL . . . . Applicants are also provided with roller skates ..... A new comic strip, The Smith Fami- ly - - - and How It Grew will be featured on the fun page of the World-News next week, and we think that the Bonner, jacob, Brennan collab- oration really has something here. We suspect that the characters are fashioned after the lives of Florence, Herb, and Larry, three eminent stage personalities. The subject, however, is one on the side of the Lord, for, indeed, He must have loved the name to place such a number with us! We did a bit of ear-unbuttoning on hospital premises last eve, and behind one of the sick-room doors discovered Tony Abramo, who insists his pneumonia was decidedly provoked by his hospital attire that provided an over-dose of ventilation. . . . . But Tony was doing all right, being waited on hand and foot by proby nurses Mary Collins, Mildred Slaunwhite, Helen Pederson, Mabel Read, and Vivian Thomas ..... And some guys have all the luck - - - even with pneumonia! .... The hos- pital records read Thomas Leonard - - - cuts and bruises .... but we'd say victim of circum- stances. It appears that poor Tom was shuffiing the pasteboards in a Not According to Hoyle bridge foursome with the missus fthe ex-Alma Thurberj, while Al and Verla fSloperj Fiorelli made up the other couple. Because his thumb was on the ace of spades, he led, and so did Alma. Tom found out weeks later that he had re-negged. Family misunderstandings can usually, we reckon, be traced to the card table! In his book Oh, You Funny Man a biography of Robert Sullivan by Don Felt, the author recalls the supposedly authentic account of the life of Mr. S, provided by himself. I was born, claims Sul- livan, on the seventh hill of Rome in the year 1865, wrote Uncle Tozzfr Cdfijllii! in 1877, in- troduced the lawnmower into Sahara Desert civili- zation in 1883, died in 1884, and was buried in Grant's Tombf '.... Warren Wentworth, author of What Men Think About Women-or Do They? was recently reported seen passing through Watertown with his wife, the former Vera Ben- nett, en route to Germany. They plan to leave the baby in a North Station locker as they fear Warren Jr. might develop a Hitler complex. They will pedal their way to Berlin a-top a tandem. . . . . Sam Stroum, a student at the Dan D. Lion Academy, just captured the fish-swallowing crown from co-ed Violet Rudolph. After not only catch- ing but downing the three little fishes from the iddy, biddy pool, the champ remarked, A bit heavy on the epiglottisj' and then did a fade-out. . . . . The Tel. and Tel. Company now employs Harriette Gordon, Dot Rollins, Estelle Harris, Cora Height, Rose Olivo, Betty McAdoo, and Kay Trainor, the Whats YOUR number? girls. . . . On a recent nation-wide radio popularity poll, the Pantanella Sisters Sixty Minutes of Beauty program rated tops. The beautiful voice of the beautiful Margaret Hicks, soprano, combining with the beautiful baritone of Fred Brown, won the beautiful award for this beauty preparation and Station ZAIA ..... It's pointedly evident that stenog Norma Turner's engagement to her em- ployer was known only to the majority population of Boston ..... As for the boss, johnny Gigilo Ahern, he labored under the impression that it was all a happy friendship! There'll undoubtedly be fireworks, 'cause attorney Darwin Wilder has been called in to serve the hash on Mr. A! Chin up, eyes forward, johnny, me lad. We know how it is! .... Forrest Higgins, formerly the spark plug in the Hayes, Eagan, and Hayes Motor- cycle Industry, has left that concern to enter the ministry. Mr. Higgins, we hear, was recently crit- icized by his elder professioners for exclaiming to the trials and tribulations of his parishioners with a Whew-w-w and not a tsk! tsk! tsk! . . . Arctic explorer Maurice Desisto was greeted upon his re- turn to Waltham by Mayor and Mrs. Allen Glid- den fnee june Taylorj, and we noted several flat- tering varied comments were passed on the little beard sprouted by the North Pole adventurer. The most noticeable, however, was from newsboy Tony Gullotti, who nudged his companions and said, Look, Columbus!' '.... Authors of If He Could Only Cook, Helen Abelli, Alice Buckley, and Margaret Crawford state in the preface of the book that love is a man's insane desire to become a woman's meal ticketl' '... . So now I know! . . . . Do you feel logy, run-down? Do your most vital digestive juices flow at a rate of four quarts
