Down a peg We were disappointed in Skeezix Wallet this week when he couldn't find the fuse box to insert a new fuse when the lights in his house burned out. Even an ordinary husband is supposed to know the location of the fuse box and Skeezix is a fixit man. "And quietly steal away" . . . Have you noticed that the state's famous thousand dol lar trees the ones they moved some yeara ago with so much ado have been silently dene away with? And no fanfare. Highly educated . . . Here's the story of the week. A friend of ours was talking with a young woman, and the conversation turned to Thor. "Thor was the god of war, you know" said my friend. Sarcastically came the answer, "Thank ycu so much for telling me Eleanor but what do you think I studied Shakespeare for?" Weather report . . . Last Sunday I had a show of my own. The squirrels were so excited about the fall ot snow. They raced up and down the trees, clung to the screen over the window, looked in at ms and scolded and scolded. I don't know whether they were calling attention to the snow or balming me for it . . . Maxine Buren Doris Friesen.
