O
T h at election T uesday w as a
rascal. W hew. Bud sat a t the
office fig u rin g o u t th e to ta ls and
an sw erin g calls of in te re ste d peo­
ple. ¿¿y him self dashed aro u n d the
various p recin cts picking up th e
re su lts an d w a tc h in g th e grin s
on the faces of candidates.
We
sf,i\e d at th e office until a f te r 12
try in g to get the final re tu rn s in"
Chet co precinct w as one of the
first done in th e county.
o o o
C h arlie D oane called ea rly W ed­
nesday m orning to concede d e­
feat. B iggest su rp rise was m ay o r
race here. It figured to be closer.
Also w as su rp rised a t the show
ing of T ex Breedlove, ta k in g J a p
Yoacum s com m issioners post. Also
w as su rp rised th a t Bill Thom pson
got a w rite in vote for council­
man. H e isn ’t supposed to be in
politics eith er, as a post m aster.
Guess som ebody should re p o rt
him.
o o o
N ow it can be told. F or b e tte r
th an tw o and a h a lf m onths, in
fact ev e r since w e’ve lived in
B rookings w e at th e M urphy re si­
dence hav e been living w ith o u t a
clock in th e house. N ot even a
w atch. E v ery m o rn in g in th a t
tim e m y good friend and n eighbor
Bud P isa re k would com e o ver to
o ur bedroom w indow and pound
on it to w ake us up. He should
get a m edal. W e’ve finally in v e st­
ed in a clock, and I ’m so happy '
1 ju s t sit th e re and w atch th e
m in u te h an d go round and round.

E lm er B ankus w as tellin g m e
the o th e r day th a t people a re
liable to get th e idea th a t he is
on th e ec cen tric side. He says th a t
for 35 y ea rs now he has, th ro u g h
his B rookings L and and T ow nsite
Co., been co llecting sew age. S ays
it w a ^ m o r e o r less a iiobby w ith
him. T ells m e th a t it raised a
rut kus w hen he s ta rte d ch a rg in g
people fo r it. In c id e n tally E lm e r
was a little d isap p o inted th a t he
didn’t g et one w rite-in vote fo r
m ayor. In fact he d id n ’t even get
a w rite-in vote fo r sew er com ­
m issioner.

T hat L ion’s club shindig S unday
was p len ty fine, an d th a t group
deserves som e cred it. T h e kids
enjoyed it I know, am i us old tim ­
ers enjoyed w atch in g them gob
bling up hotdogs, and scram b lin g
for pennies. My d a u g h te r w as in
the fight for th e pennies, and I
showed h e r how to roll up h e r
sleeves and dig in. She prom ised
me 20 p er cent of all she found,
but only n etted one cent. I d id n ’t
take my cut.
