Burdic is getting to be a specialist on broken jaws, especially those of transient bums. Atop his expensive experience re cently, Dr. Burdic had another pa tient last week when a transient approached an Ashland man and solicited a dime. The man said he was broke. Mr. Bum called the man a blankety-blank liar. Asked what he said, the bum repeated the charge. The Ashlander hauled off and hit the mendicant in the jaw. “You broke my tooth," com plained the hobo. “Go to Dr. Burdic and tell him I said to pull it and send me the bill,” was the reply. Dr. Burdic found the jaw broken and the man was taken to the Community hospital. ASHLAND FILLS WITH KIDDIES FOR NOTE FEST Ashland was alive with youg- 'sters yesterday.
