Show Friday, December 10, 1948 SIGNPOST Page 5 Joy Yea, winter, we shall wassail thee in With holly and ale and torches, For it's puck your rosebud while ye may And your buttercup ere it scorches. Yegoddes. Yes, winter is here arrivest the snow the Christmas season. With the snow comes ski bums, schussing the mountainside, comes Christmas, comes that perfectly foul card you sent Bungstarter returns to you, with his thinly veiled condolences at your continued good health. Now is the time for you to pick that necktie with colors faintly resembling the sunset over the mountains, the only difference is that the color is just a wee bit louder. Or those charming ties with the female anatomy that lights up in the dark, providing a beacon for homecoming. The Yuletide is also the time when those who have sworn on the knees of the Gods to stop smoking, receive silver lighters, cartons of cigarettes, boxes of El Nicitino, monogrammed matches. Naturally, the lighter works, no one you know smokes, and who wants to light fires with monogrammed matches? So you resume the pleasant habit. Christmas is also the time for parties, family reunions, where you sit and stare at those perfectly detestable people who by the grace of Mendel are your relatives with their close-set eyes, mangy hair, pigeon chests, and other anatomical failures too numerous to mention. Of course, your family is perfect, your brothers as handsome as a shirt ad, your sisters as the pearls of the Orient The conversation is as stimulating as a dirty undershirt, and the only bright thing you can contribute to the conversation is a Disc Data By Shirley Lynch ELVIRA FANGLESNAP ous Omens Herald Fangie's Yule Return Three thousand tons of oranges were left devastated in the state of Nevada. The mighty Humboldt River ceased running (frozen) and -various business enterprises closed, what with the lack of business. (Fangie saw Lambert McGrath and Bob Preece in one of these enterprises). The fair city of Winnemucca es-conced itself in black crepe. Clouds formed overhead and wept copiously. A group of weirdly attired na f tives (clad in Levis, boots, bright shirts, broad brimmed hats) as-corted the fairest flower of all time out on a farewell ceremonial, Basque style. Some bails borracho. The F. F., after the bright dawn arrived, left. Escorted to the chas-is of a waiting automobile, which was standing with idling engine. Waving a snappy farewell to both male and female, the F. F. roared off in a cloud of Nevada's best top-soil, leaving the multitudes to beat their chests and rush to the nearest dispensary or else to bed. Across the fair state of Nevada the car raced, stopping at every port of call Ranchinn, Death, Wells, Oasis, etc. Clouds covered the mountains, the wind wailed, and trees bent. (Not with sorrow, but the zephyr.) At last, Wendover. The wind ceased blowing. The clouds disappeared. The salt flats, glittered, the sun sparkled. Birds whirled in ecstatic dances. Cars swished merrily down the highway. Life was joyous. Dipping into Salt Lake City, the lights flicked with joyous rapidity, red, stop; red, stop; red, stop. The smoke lifted. The populace danced in the streets. Even the Death Strip wore a pleasant look. Weber college, institution of higher learning, wore its usual calm quiet look. With the arrival of the fairest flower in the universe, bells clanged, and the joyous cries, the inmates rushed out to see the flower of the Weber Family the blooming idiot. Fangie had returned ! ! ! ! With deep sorrow and much commiseration she saw what depths the campus had fallen. Except for a few old married men, the place was lousy with beardless boys, and young children. Fangie's first words were: Where ARE all the men? This being the Yuletide season, her plainly spoken prayer was answered. She saw two. Teachers. WINTER Come, let us wassail the winter in, That nymph of cold enamel, Concealing her charms in frigid arms, But nevertheless a mammal. By Shirley Lynch Here it is kids, right off the turntable. After two issues of this column, yours truly has received many inquiries, as to where I obtain up to date information on record collections. The purpose of this column is being asserted as that of trying, through six or seven inches of copy each week, to supply for all you hep cats data on danceable, delightful, and demonstrative discs. This is being accomplished through the reading of publications of movie magazines, record surveys, popularity of tune on the radio, and of course, a private wire direct to Hollywood! ! ! ! Big news in record collections. Perhaps one ranking among the highest as a good jobe done, is Peggy Lee's new album. Peggy has the record world talking about her "Rendezvous With Peggy Lee." Included are Peggy's great renditions of "Why Don't You Do Right," "I Can't Give You Anything But Love," "Them There Eyes," "Stormy Weather," "Deed I Do," and "Don't Smoke In Bed." Definitely a must for your record collection. The Three Suns fans will be standing in line to buy their new Victory album, "Busy Fingers." The Suns have taken eight top tunes, such as "Nola" "Stumbling" "Doll Dance" and "Dizzy Fingers" and given them their own special treatment, which makes this album well worth keeping. A very fine album is out on the MGM label by Kate Smith entitled "Songs of the Hills and Plains." In preparing this album Kate Smith and MGM records endeavored not only to put the best of America's modern folk music into an album, but to present the songs in "tuneful, straight-forward arrangements."Dick Haymes fans will be delighted with "Little White Lies" on Decca backed by "The Treasure of Sierra Madre," these records are selling fast and no wonder. Good orchestration and excellent vocal. P. S. Now available at Reliable Furniture Co., and F. W. Wool-worth Co. Some very cute novelty tunes have popped up of late. I like the Jo Stafford rendition of "Clabberin' Up For Rain" and "Suspicion." A good hillbilly novelty done by a good singer. Well mates, that's all this week, but remember when the old maestro calls all aboard, Let's Spin a Few! ! ! ! brilliant, bored smile, ad captan-dum. Then small cousin leapes to the piano, and you think-asinus ad lyram (assatthelyre) . However, that is your thought about YOUR relations. Schmoes. And then when you open those gifts, you think to heck with the thought behind it. Either there wasn't any, or else it was with malice aforethought. Where do people get these things? Forgetting completely the left handed enameled boomerang you sent Aunt Ethel, a confirmed invalid.

Among other things we learned that Barbara had brown hair and brown eyes, stood 5 feet 8 inches, weighed 112, was a general major contemplating going into nursing training, and was interested, among other things (men), music, skiing, and sports in general.
