In our own immediate family, we
are thrilled about Jeryme and
Wheeler English having one. Of
course we are a little irked at Reid
Arthur for timing his arrival so he'd
get -into the rival paper first; the
son of d former newspaper woman
ought to know better than that but,
we know you just can't depend on
the younger generation these days.
We mink he's pretty lucky to have
Jeryme for his mother; after all, she
got along with us for - eight hours ,
a day for six years, so she can get
along with i about anyone.
More thrills . . Well always
feel a big one when we hear Joseph
ine Albert Spaulding sing" Wilder
' ness to Wonderland" as she did
the other night with the Gleemen.
We hold the Centennial pageant as
the very top spot in our memory!
Well never forget Josephine Spauld
ing as the '"Spirit of Salem." (And '
neither will she, as she nearly froze
to death in that filmy dress back
- (here amid the snow capped xnoun-"V
. tain scenery.)
' Southern boys you would .
mink that every Gleeman among .
them .were fresh from the deep
- south, from the feeling they put In
to their -song. "Swanee." Edouaxd

harmony from mat small group of'

, we saw and heard the American '
Legion auxiliary's national presl
dent Mrs. Alfred Mathebat how one

decided now that you have t be
mighty smart and a forceful speaker .
and friendly and patient and charm

know how our young officers' wives
look to people in other towns, they
were nice looking girls, a little; shy

of them were dressed In good-look-lng

we want our own girls treated well
