Show Seen and Heard 'Round the Town Xy JAMB This week's "Seen and Beard" will be in the nature of ati open letter tf "Ye Editor" and Wife Hazel who with their son, Dick are in California. If our readers or the publishers have iny complaints " agin' this week's paper," we Tour shop workers have all the answers, even if they do smell, because we have really been in a J.A.M.B. Cats are believed to have nine lives. Now we are sure of that fact because one said Thomas cat assembled all of his nine lives and dumped them unceremoniusly far back under the floor of our 'establishment over the week end. A right mean stunt for any cat to do anywhere but double trouble for the office gang. Monday we were suspicious,1 Tuesday we were sure. so was our friend Church and customers, and we began taking up floor boards and searching with lights. No cat! By Wednesday the definite evidence had spread "by remote control to Ez McArthur's barber shop and all along the street. Even the passers-by were holding noses and saying "pew." Heavy incense didn't help so we called the carpenter, "David" 'who is building the rear addition 'and with machine saw he took up enough more floor to locate the critter and now he and his nine lives are shoveled under.. We have a lot of stories that must wait till next week, especially espe-cially about soldiers and we won't let another dead cat crowd them out. Sorry We Skipped Ivins We failed to mention Ivins last week on the "Clothes for Russia" drive. Ivins . made a big contribution, contri-bution, says Chairman Ezra Mc-Arthur. |
