Shaw Contest Essags The Picnic Crazei' by C I Bolton R UPP .-'lpril xhowwir brfrzg May ff0ll'C'I'.Y! And May Howers bring the picnickersl Fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, uncles, aunts. nephews, and nieces . . . all going to the country on a picnic. This is the season the farmers dread most. They spend the long winter months, not in reading Sears Roebuck cata- logues, but in thinking up up new ways to stop the barbar- ous horde of picnickers sure to descend upon them in the spring. At first they try polite means, as the use of Priv- ate, lit-ep Out, No Trespassing, and Please Do Not Pick the Flowers. This failing, they changed their pleas to warnings: Beware the Bull, Mad Dog on the Premisesfi Look Out for Poison Ivy. But the picnickers were not to be coped with that easily. Iodine for the poison ivy, cute little children armed with slingshots for the mad dog and bull took care of everything. Latest reports show that one community became so enraged that it spent thousands of dollars on sure-fire picnicker exterminators. Their equip- ment included high voltage electric barbed-wire fences, man- made pitfalls, imported snakes, and even an automatic rain- maker. Came the third Sunday in May and this picnicker-infested hamlet turned out rn n1t1.f.ft' for the greatest slaughter of pic- nickers since the lndians wiped out General Custer's Sun- day School Outing way back when. lfarly in the morning the town fathers met to discuss the final plans and to station men at all strategic points. About ten o'clock Farmer P. Revere pulled his steaming Model T up to a halt in front of the Town Hall and breath- lessly exclaimed. The Smiths are coming! The Smiths! Here was luck indeed. Wasn't it that cute little Iohnny Smith who ran their chickens bowlegged last year? Didn't Mr. Smith smash their windows practicing golf? And .Xunt Cyn- thia Smithl Wasn't she the one who . . . well, why go on any farth- er? The whole Smith family had at some time or other proved themselves a menace to the peace-loving farmers, and now, now in t h e i r moment of preparedness, Fate had delivered them into their waiting hands. But here was no mean opponent! For the last ten years the Smiths had been holding pic- nics and they were prepared for the worst. S t a t i o n number 2 was ordered to set up the detour sign and to fill the old road with water to make it muddy. Dick Smith, the oldest boy, removed the detour sign and the car sped on its merry way to the picnic grounds. Station number 4 turned on the rain-maker. The Smiths donned swimming suits and had the time of their lives while the shower lasted. Station number 9 let the snakes run loose. Uncle Harry Smith took out his oboe and charmed them. Station number 3 followed with its hordes of ants and mosquitoes. Here at last it looked as if the valiant Smiths would be beaten back, but armed with Flit and l5ug-A- Boo they Finally won the three hour fight with their adver- saries of the insect world. Stations 1, 5, 7, 8, ll, and I5 tried and failed. liach new method of torture the Smiths mel and conquered. They seemed to enjoy this sort of a picnic and had more fun than ever before. That night, after the general survey of the always to be found damages after a picnic, the good people gathered at the Town Hall. It was a group of down-hearted, discour- aged men who unanimously agreed that: lt's impossible to stop a picnicker V. Wings Across American by litioeisi ie Gita I mm A sputtering cough, a sickening spit, a shrill whine, and another airplane hits the dust. The next morning headlines scream 'APlane Crashes, 9 Dead. How many times have you read this and thought, l'll never take a long trip in a plane. Still, that same day you take more chances than any airplane pilot ever does.
