Small Fry Receive
Sale Driving Lessons
Highland Park, 111. - This
Chicago suburb has launched a
unique safe driving campaign
among the small fry.
The "Sidewalk Safety" cam
paign, in which youngsters are
taught to pedal their toy auto
mobiles or velocipedes with due
regard for caution, is sponsored
jointly by the Junior Chamber
of Commerce and the Bank of
Highland Park.
Children in the five-to-eight
age group are enrolled. They
drive pedal-propelled cars over
a course of miniature street
lanes, with small scale traffic
signs and signals along the route.
Each "graduate" gets a "Safe
Sidewalk Driver" emblem.
Arthur C. Mammes Jr., safety
chairman of the Jay cees, sums
up the campaign's goal this way:
"Our program is designed to
stress safety consciousness to the
young, impressionable minds of
our children at the very time
they are learning to operate their
first vehicle, even if it is a kiddie
car or tricycle."
"The result we look for is that
safety consciousness will stick
with them the rest of their lives."

fee one morning before starting
out for the big catch.
The loud noise of their laugh
ter at such an early hour made
me curious so I got out of bed
and tiptoed downstairs to see
what was so funny.
There was my Dad sitting
around the table with the others,
tut somehow his story always
ended with the big one that got
away.
Thinking that he had forgot
ten all about our pet, I went to
my room and got Big One and
I took him down to my Dad. I
asked him, how could he forget
about Big One especially after
he named him and he caught
him for me?
For some reason those men
never finished their coffee. You
see, my Daddy didn't need a rod
and reel to catch "Big One," be
cause he caught him with his
own fingers in a big department
store in the gold fish department.
Jerry Jackson Jr.
An Atalanta, Ga., reader
writes: "D'you know, even a fish
.vould not get in trouble if he
kept his mouth shut."
Floridan's Story
An angler from Florida sub
mits this one: "While fishing on
a bridge with a friend, 1 hooked
into a nice snapper. I reeled him
in and then as I jerked my rod
up, he sailed clear over my head
to the other side of the bridge
into someone else's bucket. Plop,
just like that, I put my rod
down, walked on to the other
side of the bridge, scooped my
fish up and started to walk
back.
"Hey," yelled a fellow fur
ther up the bridge, running to
ward me. "What the heck you
doing in my bucket.'

"I explained. He says: 'That's
a lot of baloney, it's my fish''
Well one word led to another
and before you could count to
Jack Piper, he hit me. I threw
the fish at him. My friend came
over, separated us, and took me
home.
"Now, every time I go fishing
my wife says: "If the fish fly.
let them go by!' "
Fishing Experience
A southern California reader
contributes this one: A fisher
man was telling about a fishing
experience. "It was a beautiful
fish," he said, "and I got it right
alongside the boat when it took
off and got away. But anyway
it weighed exactly four pounds
and three-and-a-half ounces."
"But man, if you didn't land
the fish, how the devil did you
know what it weighed," de
manded the indignant listener
"Well, the fish had scales on
its back," answered the fisher
man.
And the final story comes
from a minister in Indiana. He
writes:
"Some time ago. while fishing
on the banks of the Ohio river
near Derby. Ind., I baited a hook
with a small minnow. First thing
knew, a 10-pound blue cat
swallowed the minnow, then
shortly another tug at the line
and a 73-pound blue cat had
swallowed the 10-pound cat.
When the line was pulled in, to
my surprise I found I had three
in one. A 73-pound blue cat; a
10-pound blue cat, and the hum
ble little minnow. Eighty-three
pounds of cat, all told! Plenty
for a nice big fish fry, which
we had."

Nothing But Trouble
For First Day in Home
Waverly, N.Y. U.R) Mrs.
John Vale will long remember
the first day in her new home.
To start the day off, her
daughter, 3-year-old Debbie, let
the bird out of the cage. After
the excitement died, Mrs. Vale
decided to do the family wash
ing. She turned on the water
and a pipe broke, spraying a
back room.
Mrs. Vale next decided to go
grocery shopping but the car
battery was dead. While waiting
for the repair man to fix the car,
another daughter, Karen, 21
months old, fell down stairs and
cut her mouth. She called a doc
tor who told her that a dentist
was needed.
At its narrowest point Pana
ma is only 31 miles wide.
