nzfwieenjafptyia Could Be Oh, happy day!! After a tediously long eight year hitch in Uncle Sam's Navyg Iwas getting my walking papers. As the Commandere handed me that precious package of printed pages, I saluted and said, Yes, sir, thank you, sir. So long, Bud!! I packed up my duds and proceeded to put as many miles between me and New York's Sampson Naval Separation Center as I possibly could. The first place I headed for was the old home town of Rockfield. Grabbing a Trans-continental airliner, I was in Cincinnati within four short hours. Thosejda- propelled planes really move. I had a five hour lay over in Cincy, so I thought l'd go down town and look over the sights. The last time Iwas in Cincinnati was Dec. 7, 1941. Here it was the first day of july, 1954. As I wandered thru the great Metrop- olis, memories of my old school mates ran thro' my mind. As 1 passed an enor- mous office building, who should I run smack into but Bill Galbreth, one of my t- wo class mates. I slapped him on the back so hard that he stumbled. We were so glad to see each other that the commotion we raised caused the occupants of the street to st- and and stare at us. UWhat kind of work are you trying to make your boss think you are doing 7 I asked. I'm chief accountant and bookkeeper for Wynken, Blynken, and Nod Steele C- o,, he replied. lt's a swell job, and the pay is good, too. Come on over to my house and I'll have the wife fix us something to eat. My chin dropped down and hit my knee caps when he said wife. Why you sc- alawag, are you married? I practically yelled. What's your wife's name ?H- ow long have you been married? Got any little William's at your house? HYes, I'm married, and have been for six years. I've got a five year old boy but as for who my wife is, you wait and find out for yourself, he said, almost sheepishly. So we hopped into Bill's new Fluid Drive Qthat's drip at the wheelj Atomic-po- wered Cadillac, and went over to his house for a bite to eat. As we halted at a pretty, comfortable-looking house, I saw the small son of Bill dash out of the hou- se and throw himself into the arms of his poppa. I couldn't help but envy my pal for I always had the fondest affection for small children. Following Bill and his son into the house, I wasn't very much surprised to fi- nd that his wife was none other than the former Marjorie Been. After getting settled down to an intense conversation, frequently interruptedty William's offspring, Mortimor, Marge and Bill asked where all the Navy had tak- en me, I guess about the only port I haven't hit up to now is yet to be bottled, I wise-cracked. All joking aside tho', I first went to France and brought home s- ome G. I, Joes. After spending a year and a half running back and forth across t- he Atlantic, fand I really painted Old Paree red more than oncej, I was transferrul to Pacific duty, For the last six yedI'S,I've been hopping around all over the peac- eful Pacific- I stayed in Japland two years, Boy, I walked all over Tokyo backwar- ds just to keep one of those walking stinkweeds from Stabbing me in the back.Y- ou've probably noticed a iew more scars on me. The one Ou top of my dome cane from shrapnel during maneuvers off the coast of Burma, and the one above my left ear was put there by an M. P.'s club in Honolulu. But I've said enough about myself, how about you? Bill looked affectionately at his wife and child. Marge blushed and emitted a stifled giggle.

Could be fcont.D UWell, after I gave the army the best year of my life, I was discharged in No- vember of 194-7. I came back to Rockfield and persuaded Marge to hitch up with me. Since then something new has been added, I came to Cincinnati three years ago. We like it here. By the way, are you married? inquired the blonde fellow. Are you kidding ? Me!! Married!! I'd have to marry a roll of tape, so I'd have something that would stick with me. We finally ate, and was I ever hungry. I happened to glance at my wristwatch and was horrified to find that my plane left in fifteen minutes. Grabbing me by the arms, Bill and Marge hauled me into the car, and we sped to the airport. I just made it. I waved farewell to the happy couple and their mischievous son as the big plane roared into the blue. Landing at Indianapolis, I rode my thumb to Delphi, where who should I see, but Leroy Powell and his pretty wife, lone. There were also four little stairsteps that belonged to these two. So you're married, too. Well, I'll be hanged. Bill is too. You're three ju- mps ahead of him tho . He's just got one boy. And here everybody said I'd be the first one of our class to be married. If I can collect all the bets I made on that , I'1l be a millionaire. I repeated all I'd told Bill about myself to LeRoy and about meeting Bill in Ci- ncinnati. Then as I tried to strike an acquaintance with the infant in I..eRoy's ar - ms, the babe's fist came in contact with my eye very sharply. I later learned th- at this was their latest born boy, Herkimer. The larger child of the male sex was about six, and his name was Lynville. The two four year old girls were, the twi- ns, Matilda and Clarabelle. As I rode home with this happy family, I found out that LeRoy was sole owner of the Garrison farm and lived there now. New buildings and all the necessary a- nd modern farming equipment to go with it had been added. Flash was also fil- ing for Township Trustee. When LeRoy had left, after bringing me home, I cornered my mater and got into a heart to heart talk with her. You know, Mother, both of my classmates are married and got families, I said. So what ? replied the lady with the bright brown eyes. Ah-ahem, Mom, has that lil atomic Blonde up in the east end of town engulied herself in the entanglements of holy matrimony yet ? I asked with a slight quiv- er in my voice. Mrs. Fincher eyed me suspiciously and replied, No, Why? I smiled and said, Hubba, hubba, deary. I think I'1l wander eastward and m- ake a proposition to her. I'm getting a late start on LeRoy and Bill. I gotta make up for lost time.
