Show Battle Creek I Breeze By K. B. The Associated Mink Raisers of America, through their president, has lodp-ed a nrotest with the TJ. S. Department of Agriculture relative to the stigma placed on mink coats by the recent R. F. C. scandals. They complain that mink skins may soon become a drug on the market. Perhaps it might be more fitting fit-ting if the bureaucrats would switch to skunk;- the whole thing smells anyway. BCB The room of Mr. Churchill at the British Embassy in Washington Washing-ton has been amply stocked with his favorite cigars, Scotch whiskey, whisk-ey, and a rack of heated towels. All this seems to be in harmony with the purpose of his visit, since Winnie is expected to put the heat on Harry before the conference ends. BCB A word of thanks goes to our State Road crews for their battle f - against inhuman inhum-an odds, i n keeping the main highways of the state open and passable. pass-able. Bucking ten foot drifts is no picnic under normal conditions, but add to that, temperatu res of 25 to 30 below, be-low, and you have a he- man's job on your hands. Speaking of ice and snow for the most part, the sidewalks of our own Main Street are usually clean and dry, due to regular shoveling after each storm. There are a few patches, however, that are always icy and dangerous. It seems to be the same areas each time. For the safety of all concerned, con-cerned, those responsible for this situation should do something about it. BCB The U.S. Census Bureau reports, that for the first time in the history of our country, women voters outnumber the men. Quick to take advantage of the change, politicians are reducing their order for cigars; while laying lay-ing in large stocks of lip-stick, perfume, and two-way stretchers. Looks like a tite race come next November. So long 'til Friday. |
