Show Thursday, April 16, 1959 Page 7 THE VALLEY VIEW NEWS ANYTHING GOES Do you remember, when you were just a little shaver, the corner candy store? Remember how the merchandise was stacked to the ceiling and the ceilings were about twelve feet high? In the ordinary stores the storekeeper had a pole type of gadget with a pair of fingers on the end that he used in getting the jars down from the top shelf. But in the high class stores there was a ladder that moved all around the store on a trolly type of arrangement. It was in one of these stores that this little incident took place. Four kids, all knee high to a pickle barrel, came in to make a purchase. The storekeeper said to the first little kid, Whatll you have sonny? Ten cents worth of jelly beans, came the reply. The storekeeper went over to the corner, rolled the ladder in front of the jelly beans, went up the ladder, scooped out ten cents worth of jelly beans, came down the ladder, shoved the ladder in the corner, gave the kid the jelly beans, took the dime, put it in the cash register and said to the second kid, Whatll you have? Ten cents worth of jelly beans, he said. The storekeeper went over to the corner, rolled the ladder in front of the jelly beans, went up the ladder, scooped out ten cents worth of jelly beans, came down the ladder, shoved the ladder in the corner, gave the kid the jelly beans, took the dime, put it in the cash register and said to the third kid, Whatll you have? Ten cents worth of jelly beans, he replied. The storekeeper went over to the corner, rolled out the ladder in front of the jelly beans, went up the ladder, scooped out ten cents worth of jelly beans, and was just ready to come down when a thought Came to him. He turned to the fourth kid and said, I suppose you want ten cents worth of jelly beans too? No, came the reply. The storekeeper, came down the ladder, shoved the ladder in the comer, gave the kid the jelly beans, took the dime, put it in the cash register and said to the fourth kid, Whatll you have? To which the kid replied, Five cents worth of jelly beans. But then kids are always coming up with the unexpected. Like the kid that came home from By Rolf W. PRODUbTS Kay school one day when his mother said to him, What did Mommys little man learn today? To which he replied, I learned three guys not to call me Mommys little man. Or the youngster who was asked, by his Sunday Where is the Good Lord? His School teacher, answer was, Hes in our bathroom." The teacher, taken aback, exclaimed, What makes you think hes in your bathroom? The kid stated, Well, every morning my father knocks on the bathroom door and yells, Good Lord, are you still in there. And this happened to an acquaintance of mine in California. Some friends of theirs sent their little boy to stay with them because they had some landslides in the town they were living in. After they had the boy a week they sent him back and told them to send the landslides. But the cutest kid of this or any other day are those two charming little cherubs, Eddie Fisher and Liz Taylor. Arent they the most loveable little morons youve ever read about? Liz is putting on a few pounds but theres a good reason for it. She says that she cant keep her weight down because all she and Eddie ever do is watch T.V. and drink beer and eat peanuts. I always wanted to know how these two do to while away the hours. Frankly, eating peanuts and drinking beer, never even occurred to me. But then I guess we all have bad habits that were stuck with. But the truest words ever spoken were said by Debbie when she was interviewed by a reporter. She said, I have nothing more to say on the subject. Im sure that everyone is as sick and tired of hearing about the whole affair as I atn. Theres more truth than poetry in that statement. I guess it isnt a very nice thing to say, but everytime I think of Eddie and Liz getting married it reminds me of a scene from Some Came Running. If youve seen the picture youll recall the part where Frank Sinatra decided to marry Shirly McClain and told Dean Martin his intentions. Dean Martin, slightly shocked, said, In that case, you and I arent friends anymore I got no use for stupid people. Ive got nothing against the girl, but even shell admit shes a pig. ! dvertising works for you DARRELL'S COLLEGE OF BEAUTY 329 So.
