'rom where I sit . . .
When I drop into Sam Abernethy's
store, I usually come away with
something worth rememberin'.
t
Sam's our town's most successful
storekeeper and he's not one to do
much talking, unless he figures he's
really got something to say.
Last evenin' he said plenty.
Stranger was in the store. And
Ben Ryder, Homer Bentley and
some others were talk in' about the
scrap collection when this feller
sort of horned in . . .
"I hear these scrap' collections
are a lot a bunk," he Bays. "Fact
of the matter is, this junk they're
gathering ain't no use for makin'
steel. Just a waste of time gcttin'
it together . . ."
At that point Sam steps in.
"Jest a minute," he says, fixing
him with a cold and steely eye.
"May I inquire where you got them
so-called facts?"
The stranger hems and haws,
and Sam advances on him grim
and unsmilin'.
"Name your authority, air," he
says. And he wasn't kiddin'l "Tell
Hangers Are Scarce
Because of the defence program
the manufacture of hangers is be
ing deferred and we would appre
ciate the return of hangers when
ever possibe.

us, where did you get all this fo
side, private information?"
Well, sir, I never saw Sam so
mad since Lem" Martin's dog
chased the cat into the pickle bar
rel. And I guess I never saw a maa
crawfish out of a place fast as that
fellow did.
Thinking it over afterwards, I
came to the conclusion that Sum
got the real system for handUaf
folks who throw facts and figures
around free and easy like.
Prinstance, I've noticed there's
some pretty fancy fact and figure
jugglin' done by some of those who
oppose the right enjoyed by mil
lions of decent people to drink a
friendly glass of beer when they
want to.
Lately I've been asking these
folks the same kind of questions
that Sam asked that rumor
mongerin' stranger. Try it yourself,
next time you hear anybody mak
ing derogatory remarks whether
it's against the war effort... or
just against beer.
