Finally cornered this week as he tried to dodge between a GI truck and a'T'5, Pfc. Harry (the Hymie) Klein cried. "Why should I tell you I what is a knish? If you've never seen a knish, you don't care, do I you? If you don’t care, why keep | me up nights thinking of silly answers? If you want a knish, buy one. “For five cents anybody can learn what is a knish. What have I you got to do? All you got to do is be somewhere» along Delaney . Street at 10 o’clock in the morn- | ing, and if somebody don't try to I sell you a red-hot knish inside the first five minutes, my name ain't Harry Ktctn. It ain’t even safe for a policeman to walk the street at 10 o’clock. “You see knishes coming at him j from every direction. From the right. From the left — from the intersection, even.” Hymie the Terrible seemed to debate on what was the next move to make, In preference to taking the T/5, he took the truck and i dived between the wheels, As he j turned the corner at 12 Street North and D Avenue, his scream came back on the winds! “If I never see another knish in my life, it will be too soon. But if you really want to know, it looks something like a gorywhim- ple, only rounder.” Managing Editor ; Somehow we feel we have had one hulluva big week nF looming, at more or less nominal expense The vital thing-, it Would appear, are three: (1) a certain soldier named Lancaster (who often enjoys the NCO club of SCI,’) held forth one night, anil in one swift but easy lesson, we discovered that 'possums have certain habits in their co-habitation which amazed us no end. (2) We further note how the publishers of such an outstand ing song as "Pistol Packing Mama" have finally been able to sink a 'plexus punch iifto the purveyor" of that weekly radio feature called “The Hit Parade.” For five years we wondered why something couldn’t be done about their selec tions. Then, when Frank Sinatra got his contract, we gave up. But. I of course, being so close to another Oregon winter, we give up more i < asily than we once did.
