Paopfzecq 6 Resting peacefull at the Sanitarium is Patricia Schafer who is convalescing from a severe case of nervous shock. Private Schafer of the WAAC's was discovered chewing gum in the ranks by her merci- less drill sergeant, LaVern Drangmeister. Sergeant Drangmeister thundered her disapproval with such great force that Private Schafer was carried away unconscious. Miss Betty Croner, as first woman editor, is now supervising the publication of the biggest and best edition of Successful Farming that has ever been published up to this time! People from Dyer keep interrupting our broadcast with claims that they knew her when she didn't have a chauffeur to drive her around in a super-tractor. Today, a special plane was flown from New Brunswick, Canada, to a mighty metropolis in north- ern Indiana. A certain Margareta O'Dea was working in her New Brunswick studio on her newest sensation, Deep in the Heart of Brunswickf' when she was suddenly stricken by an acute attack of homesickness. I quote her: There's no Brunswick like the old Brunswick. A beauty note, ladies: The newest coiffure, created by Wilma Troup, is taking the country by storm. The hair is parted in the middle and small pieces of it are taken up and tied in little bows all over the head. This is called the Leap Year Love Knot Style. The great composer, Robert Steven Teibel, has just finished his Concerto in A-flat Minor for the Jew's harp. Mr. Teibel wishes to give credit to Miss Betty Lontz who sat patiently beside him day after day putting his inspirations on to the score. Our composer friend finds it more satisfactory to employ a musical stenographer who will look for his glasses. Ina Rasmussen, who amazed the public last week when she answered the thousand-dollar question on a radio program, has announced to the press how she epects to use her money. She will contribute the entire sum to the Society for the Renovation of Old, but Good as New, Birds' Nests. Their sloggan is-- A crocheted mat in every nest. Leo I-Iuseman, winner of numerous livestock awards, is busily occupying his days making a lovely quilt from his prize ribbons. Huseman plans to donate this exquisite piece of handiwork to Aldona Putrus, chairman of the Women's Coal Mining Union of Minnesota. She announces that the Union will, in turn, sell chances, donating the funds derived thus, for providing facilities to wash off the coal so that the miners won't get their hands dirty. Sylvester Scheisser, celebrated flag-pole painter of the St. John Township Region, is marooned at the top of the flag pole outside the Schererville Post Office. Due to the cool damp weather we have been having, the paint is not yet dry and Sylvester is unable to slide down. Although he is not hungry, having been supplied with food by airplane, Scheisser is suffering from fatigue, rheumatism,, and a slight touch of lumbago in the lower spinal area. . Amber L. Hanson, representing the Americacan Federation of Housewives, testihed against Ber- nard J. Hilbrich today in court. Miss Hanson held that Hilbrich had been cruising through local alleys in his new invention, the wood-burning car. She claimed that Hilbrich took delight in refueling the auto beside the housewives' washlines, smearing their laundries with soot. Police quieted roitous mobs at the Platinum Platter last night when Dr. Eugene Upchurch, a popu- lar new physician, actually set the place on fire with his torrid torch singing of Black Magic. Headlines in The Clsirago Globr, july 1, 1955: Great Detective Roman 'Hawkshaw' Kennedy, who started out in St. John with a Chemistry set and a microscope, has now solved the case of the Loaded Cigar. A certain Gilbert Dewes has solved the rubber problem once and for all. The Keilman and Keil- man Donut Company, owned and operated by Marge and Louise Keilman, was at one time almost bankrupt because of the undunkability of its donuts until Gilbert Dewes ate one. He suggested lafter getting his jaw back into placej that these donuts would be put to much better use as tires, owing to their rubbery texture. The Misses Keilman accommodated by frying him a huge donut and when he put it on his car, it was good for 190,000 miles. Mrs. Gene Uppingburg, the former Rosemary Seehausen, star-hurler of the Parishy Bloomer Girls, is still out on the mound. Rosie certainly must have had something on the ball when she pitched for the Brunswick Tigers. Mutual's latest discovery is one of Dyer's daughters. The dull intervals between programs are now filled with animation. Instead of the monotonous, Mommy, I want a Salerno Butter Cookie, you now hear: Woman, sling me a Salerno Oleo Snap, via the golden voice of Thelma Hausenfleck. The Mad Monster has finally been caught. Aman CPJ, who claims that he is Richard Hanft, was jailed today for scaring little children. He was caught stalking through the streets, with a cue-ball hair cut and his eyelids turned up. Tomorow morning, those of you who read the Lake Hills Daily Blatt will see the picture of a great hunter, Lorraine Schilling, with a sabre-toothed tiger and a dodo bird strapped on her bike. Al- though the scientist, john Von See, thought these specimens to be extinct years ago, it took a five hun- dred-dollar bet to inspire Lorraine to lure them ba ek into civilization. Page Iuxmly cwn
