behind the light post, and trudged to my tenement home. John, the Janitor, was just mopping the hall in front of my door. (Darn those kids.) The door burst open, and my six children bounded out to greet me. Inside the house I could hear the Saturday afternoon football game, with the voice of Teddy Johnson, that famous football coach from Purdue University, (good old P.U.,) telling how he lost his last game. It was then I realized how much I really appreciated my children so I picked up a vacation magazine, and decided to get away from it all. Inside the magazine I saw an ad for Jerry’s Jip Joint, a Gambling Casino, and Dick’s Dilly Dude Ranch in Rob ’em, Arizona.. And they are featuring Gloria B. who has finally moved to head position in the chorus line there, and starring Breezy Marilyn that famous fan dancer, whose feathers are manufactured at Effie’s Feather Factory. They have dancing, swimming, and even bronco busting with ride ’em Nancy Murry the instructor. Deciding this was not the kind of a vacation I wanted, I picked up the daily newspaper and there from the back page was Don Dionne’s bald head, advertising the “after” effects of “Greasy Hair Tonic.” Here on the book page we see that Nonita West’s latest book “Keep Cool and Live Longer” is in the best seller list. Also in this section we see that Sharon Ehrich has finally won the national contest after competing for 25 years, for champion speller. On the community calendar we see that Mystic Mark the Magic Man is going to give his 5 hour program at the local high school auditorium. Also on the calendar we notice that Millie Mayo the president of The Men-Haters Union has called a national convention. The door bell rings and who should it be but Barbara Brouillette delivering my weekly supply of Texaco oil for my stove. As Barbara pulls away I see on the back of her truck an advertisement for Delores Graham and Don Nichols who are opening at the Paldium for a week’s engagement as Ballet dancers. Now the newspaper begins to get tiresome and I flip the radio on, and we hear Margaret Patton that famous woman orator giving her speech on the preserva- tion of forign languages. As this program sounds rather dry, I switch over to the barn dance and we hear Floyd Kohl calling the square dance. Garneta EckhofT is also featured as little Genaveve. Just then the program was interupted by a special news bulletin stating that Shirlee Tripp the first and last woman president of the U. S. has called a special session of Congress to consider a new bill ordering that all women should have boy-friends. Tiring of this giberish I decide to read my mail. There was letter from Alice Fawver, bringing me news of Wally Thompson that burly lumberjack and part time cook, and an invitation from her to join her at the Loggy Lumbercamp and accept an executive position there. So, I, Sally Dolder, packed my things, turned on the gas and closed all the doors and windows, (darn these kids).
