of Men's Glee Club Presents | He Is Risen ! | Spring Assembly Program Andy Mack Trio and Campus Four Featured In Varied Music-Fest Without a doubt the Easte r story is one of the most beautiful ever told, and [or sheer power and force of language and incident it is riva led only by the story of the Nativity itself. Though it involves in its entirety only three days and three nig hts, in it is to be found the grea t allegory of the whole human existence. It is the ep ic of the ultimate triumph of Hope over Despa ir and the final victory of Lif e over Death. It begins with the solemnity of the Last Supper , which is quickly followed by the betrayal , the tria l, I and the crucifixion. Then as night drew near on that fateful day, three crosses standing on the brow of a hill framed themselves aga inst | the last red g low of the fading j twilight. Upon two of them hung dy ing malefactors , and between them hung the lifeless Galilean , | whose greatest crime was that He broug ht a message of hope and S encouragement to a suffering hu; manity. And as the inscrutable { darkness of night settled upon those J udean foothills, a greater and more inscrutable da rkness settled in the hearts of those who had followed this man through the three brief years of his ministry. The few friends who remained after all other had fled in grief or in terro r took the broken body fro m its cross and tenderl y interred it in a sepulcher. Then, weeping and numb with grief, they turn ed and walked into the darkness — the da rkness of the nig ht and the more encompassing darkness of despair. There is little need to recount the series of events which followed. For as all the world knows, three days later the miracl e of the Resurrection took p lace: Life suffered Death to be bom again , and Hope rose from the dust of Despair into which it had been trampled. Since that morning in an age long ago. Easter has become the season when the snow-white lily of Pa radis e blooms again , an eternal symbol of Resurrection. It is the season when we should search our hearts and examin e closely what we f ind there. It is the season for the edificatio n of self, for the uplifting of the soul within us. It is the season for the triumphant cry of victory to echo in our hearts He is risen! ... Hoch Ban quet Speaker Dean of Men John A.

They bring out all the girls in their gay rainwear. This year designers are turning ugly, dreary, rain days into brighter, happy days by garbing the women of America in highly fashionable yet very practical rainwear. Firs t, let' s take a look at raincoats. Most manufacturers are distributing goods that do not look like rainwear. With the aid of the water repellent process all types of materials are being styled into coats and capes which are really all-weather clothes. Therefore designers are able to let their imaginations run away with them in regard to color and fabric. With the coat as a basis the designers have topped their designs with an attractive head covering such as a hood or beret. We women want to keep our hair presentable at all times; and we don't mind , in fa ct we enj oy, wearing an attractive hat or hood which will make us look pretty. Remember the time when we got our feet wet because we wouldn 't wear ugly rubbers and clumsy boots. Now, however, we find boots in all colors and styles. Rubbers are made to match raincoats or umbrellas. Some are even styled like shoes. So now we go gaily into the rain wearing our raincoats which make us look as attractive as" we do in our best black crepe, with our feet dry and neatly shod. Resting chipperly on our shoulders are colorful parasol bunded by flirtatious ruffles or coy scallops. So out into April we go with a srhile on our lips and dry clothes on our backs, looking as enchanting as the May flowers that will soon be smiling at the sun. The Three Bears —-1948 Version One day the three bears returned home from a walk in the woods. Papa Bear looked in the cupboard and bellowed, "Who's been drinking my whiskey?" Mama Bear 1hen looked in the cupboard and wailed, "Wh o's been drinking my whiskey?" Baby bear said, "Hie!" by Marie Mattis Almost everyone is acquainted with the belief s and customs which prevail during the Easter season. For many years, both young and old have though t of the season as the time for the Easter Bunny or the time for dyeing eggs. The latter custom is an extremely aneient one. Both the early Egyptians and Hebrews are believed to have presented eggs to each other as a symbol of peace. Le Brun has traced the custom back to the Persians. These Persians, writes Le Brun , celebra ted their New Year at the same time that the Christians celebrated Easter. During the festivities the Persians exchanged eggs; the Chrisians began to imitate the custom. Another writer says that eggs are used at Easter because a chick' s breaking its way through a shell is not unlike the Lord's breaking his way out of the dark earth. In some places today, people have the custom of taking dyed eggs to church to have them blessed. After this blessing, the eggs are carried home where they occupy the main dish at the Easter meal. It is considered un-Christian for anyone ta refuse to partake of this food. The origin of the Easter Bunny is more certain than that of the Easter Egg. Legends of ancient Egypt reveal that the hare is the symbol of the moon. In 325 A.D. Constantine and the Council of Nicea decided that Easter should be the first Sunday after the first full moon after the twenty-first day of March. Since the moon played such an important part in determining Easter day, the hare, too, became prominent. In this country there are no hares ; as a result , we have substituted the rabbit or "bunny. " These beliefs concerning the Easter Bunny and Easter Eggs are only two of many that prevail. No matter how strange some of these beliefs may seem, all of them aid in making the holiday more entertaining nnd more enjoyable. Remember the "Civilian G.L Bill" Would Provide Direc t Support fo r 300,000 College Students The U. S. National Student Association has called upon Congress to enact legislation to provide a nalion&l program of federally financed scholarships for approximately 300,000 college students. The "Civili an G. I. Bill" would provide for direct support to the individual on the basis of need and ability, and would be administered by the states without discrimination as to race, cr eed , economic or social status. The purpose of the NSA program was outlined by its National Executive Committee as a means of "removing further the economic barriers to education and enabling our f m ost competen t and gifted youth to obtain for themselves and for society the maximum benefits to be gained from higher education. " The more than 700,000 students represented in NSA through 289 colleges and universities were called upon to exert full support for such legislation in a report by the Association 's Nation al Commission on Educational Problems. The urgent need was stressed by the commission when it indi cated that another 10 percent increase in genera l tuition was to fee expected for the coming year in addition to the average of 28 per cent since 1939. The report added that: 1. Veteran enrollments , which have decreased some 17 per cent in the past year, were expected to end by 1956. Federal appropriations under the present G.I. Bill should be diverted , coincident with this decrease, to non-veteran students of ability and npp rl 2. Despite current enrollment of more than 2,400,000, 75 per cent of the nation 's 17-18 year old group were not enrolled in colleges. Some 50 per cent of this group are in families whose income is below $3,000 per ann um. Average tuition and living costs at college ranging between $750 and $1,000 yearly indicate the pressing need for financial aids. NSA has launched its program on three levels. In the first two, its member colleges and regional organizations have been culled upon to solicit public and congressional support for national scholarship legislation. On th e nation a l lev el , the followi ng steps have been taken : 1. The staff of NSA has appealed to House and Senate Committees to recommend national scholarship legislation. 2. The NSA Subcommission on legislation in Washington is preparing to circularize all individual members of Congress to enlist their support. 3. The staff of NSA is studying pending legislation before Congress and will prepare recommendations for the National Executive Committee on the endorsement of specific measures, Stating that "We have come a long way from the days when college was an experience reserved for the specially gifted or the financially able", Eugene G. Schwartz, NSA Vice Presi- -? College Represented at 1st Annual Convent ion of Pennsylvania F.T.A * The Oscar Hugh Bakeless Chapter of the Fut ure Teachers of America was represented at the State Teachers College at Millersville in the firs t annual convention of the Pennsylvania Future Teachers of America on March 25 and 26, 1949. Bloomsburg was represented by Miss Nerene Middlesworth , Elementary . Education , Doyle Johnson , Secondary Education , Richard Grimes and Emory Rarig, Jr ., Business Ed ucation , and Miss Edna J. Hazen , Director of Elementary Education , Sponsor. Principal speakers were Mrs. Wilda Faust , National Secretary of the Nation al Education Association , Doctor Eugene Berlin , Assistant Executive Secretary of the Pennsylvania State Education Association , and Doctor Charles E. Swope , President of the State Teachers College at West Chester. The purpose of this organization is to establish closer relationship with the Pennsylv ania State Education Association and the National Education Association in order to provide professional background , professional growth , and leadership training. A constitution was adopted making provision for a president , a firs t vicepresident , a second vice-president , a secretary-treasurer, and an executive council consisting of three members at large. Among the officers elected were Elbert Knorr, President , from STC West Chester, and Miss Alice Wagner, Secretary-treasurer, from STC Millersville. An in terested group of about 150 college and high-school students from FTA chapters throughout the state of Pennsylvania discussed problems of organization , activities, and projects. One of the most outstanding topics of discussion was the organization of FTA clubs in high schools. A notable feature was the large number of high-school students in attendance , with the largest delegation from Pi ttsburgh. Faculty sponsors and student counselor's offered valuable suggestions as to methods of arousing enthusiasm in local FTA chapters. Among the teachers colleges represented at Millersville were Shippensburg, West Chester, Cl a rion , East Stroudsburg, and Indi ana. Others were Albright , Juniata , Ursinus , Franklin and Marshall, Elizabethtown College, Thiel College, and Duquesne University. dent for Educational Problems, presented the Association 's views in communications to Senator Elbert D.

Music by LEE VINCENT and HIS ORCHESTRA ¦—— ¦—— ¦—¦———^—^——i Looking at Literature by Robert A. Baylor The art, or sport , as you will , of bullfighting seems to have caught the f ancy of the litera ry world lately. Tw o re cent n ovels , "The Moment of Tr u th ," by Storm Jameson , and "The Hou r of Tr u th ," by David Davidson make use of the symbolic words which signify the clima x or denouement of t he bullfigh t as their titles. (The moment of or hour of tr uth in the bullfight is that instant when the charging bull and the sword-wielding man are one complete entity, from which either man or bull will not emerge alive.) Along with these two titles , we find a novel, "The Brave Bu lls," by Tom Lea, which concerns the life of a Mexi can matador. Lea 's novel has been runnin g serially in the Atlantic Monthly. In the third installment, in the April issue, Lea advances, as all who write of bullfighting inevitably do, his arguments for classing bullfighting as an art. Lea knows his subj ect and his arguments are sound. - Anyone who wishes to read the arguments without reading the complete novel should turn to pages 64 and 65 of the April issue. This week's New Yorker features an interesting, though overly-dramatic , profile of Sidney Franklin , the Brooklyn-born matador. It recounts Franklin's adventures as a bullfighter and as an intimate of bullfighting's greatest press-agent , Ernest Hemingway. Hemingway has remarked that he would like to write the story of Franklin 's life, but that he would leave it for Franklin himself to do. Certainly it would make interesting reading, though if anyone but Franklin does it , we can hope that he does not attempt to over-dramatize the already dramatic, as has the writer of the piece in the New Yorker. (Hemingway has written a "Short Estimate of Sidney Franklin As A Matador." It is inclined as a separate chapter of "Death in the Afternoon. ") , j f . j 1 * j T .

It should be an enjoyable trip ' for our boys in many ways. Military camps and bases have become quite proficient recently in entert aining visiting teams or entertainers. Don't become too enthralled , fellas , at all the fancy splendor shown you and forget yo u have a ball game to snare. Good luck, team , in your q uest for a victory in the season 's opener. Bart 's oilers are continuing: to roll along* in post season competition. Their latest triumph was a 62-34 rout of Turse Cigars of Hazleton in the semi-finals of the Hazleton Invitational Tournament. Charley Boyer continues to throw 'em through the hoops—coming* through with 23 goals in Tuesday 's victory. Then , too , there is the fine Berwick V.F.W. quintet , which boasts several key members from th e Bloomsburg campus. The upriver cagers are currently in Anderson , Indiana , to participate in the national Veterans of Foreign Wars basketball tournament. At this writing there are no results of the opening round , pitting Berwick against the fast-stepping Winamac team of Central Indiana. Those of you who witnessed the volleyball playoffs in our Centennial Gym last Saturday will agree that a lesson was to be had in how to play volleyball correctly. Those lads from North York displayed a multitude of skills in walking off with the championship. In a letter to Eddie Schuyler , the amiable Sports Editor of the local Morning Press, Eddie Allegar, who performed brilliantly for Husky Nines during the past two seasons , explained living and playing conditions from his training base in Sanford , Florida. Quoting a portion of Eddie 's letter.— "We work out from ten in the morning until about one in the afternoon. Those three hours are full of running, throwing, hit ting, and infield work. These managers and coaches have a knack of making everyone work up a sweat." "Our quarters here are really OK. We live in a converted Navy barracks. There are six of us in a room. Everything is paid for here — our meals , rooms, laundry, dry cleaning', etc." "In the afternoon , another chap and I usually play golf , which is also provided for by the Giants. I'm j ust learning golf , so I'm pretty grateful for the opportunity. The greatest problem around here seems to be finding something to do with our sVare time. All in all , though , it's a swell setup and I'm awfully grateful for the experience. Whether I ever make the big leagues or not , I' m sure this is not time wasted." "Wo will ho In Spring training; until about the twenty-first of April. I can 't toll you what my chances are. There is plenty of competition here, as you probably know.

Rehearsals which opened two weeks ago are being counted upon to give the Huskies enough much needed experience to come off victorious in the first meet on a six-engagement card. The team will be built around the few veterans returning from last year, and several standout freshmen who reported for reh earsals under the Maroon and Gold for the firs t time this spring, and a considerable amou nt of work ar ou nd the Navy Hall cinder trail will be necessary before the April 21 meet. Veteran weightmen Tom Donan- and Elmer Kreiser, both Husky football wheels, are expected to repeat last year's better-than-average performances in the shot-put, discus, and j avelin. Other recruits who showed up on the training field for rehearsals were Bob Conrad, sprinter;. Bob LePard, quarter miler and letterman in the 220; Tom McAndrew, two miler; Ted Krensavage, distance runner; Bill Stratton , javelin flinger; Ray Popick, dash and low hurdle artist; Ed Skowronski, pole vault; and Arthur Urban , half miler. Attracting much attention in early workouts were four freshmen with considerable experience in schoolboy play. One of them, Dave Evans, put the shot 45 feet in high school. Frank Womer vaulted eleven feet with the aid of a pole in schoolboy competition last year. Billy Gilbert set a mark in the quarter mile j ust under 54 seconds , and another in the 220 near 24 seconds. The fourth frosh is Al Eremick, who se sho t and discus work look very good.

The speaker of the evening was Mr. Samuel Rarig, of Catawissa, who is general agent for the United Lutheran Brotherhood Insurance Corporation of America. He gave a very interesting presentation of the Biblical origins of insurance and the nature of some of our present-day savings and protective insurance plans. He closed with the statement that , according to the statistics of the Corporation , Lutherans, on the average, live longer ! The meeting closed with a prayer by Pastor Edgar D. Ziegler. VETERANS . . . Four in every ten veterans in training under the G.I. Bill and Public Law 16 on March 1 were enrolled in colleges and universities, the Veterans Administration announced recently. Total number of Public Law 16 and G.I. Bill trainees was 2,469,250. Of these, college students numbered 1,001,265. Ninety-two percent of the veteranstudents in colleges, or 929,735 were enrolled under the G.I. Bill. The remaining 71,530 were disabled veterans training under Public Law lfi. It requires 66 muscles to frown and 47 to smile ; save the difference. If God Intended that we should talk more than hear, He would have given us two mouths and one ear. —Campus Reflector Eppley 's Drug Store Main & Iron Streets Bloomsburg, Pa , (Continued from page !) Members of the quartet are Charles Edwards and .Richard Wagner, tenors , and Emory Rarig and Jack Wintersteen , basses. Selections from Broadway musicals were next on the program, as the glee club sang "You'll Never Walk Alone ," from "Carousel," by Rodgers and Hammerstein. From "Brig adoon," by Loewe and Lamon t, was "Come to Me, Bend to Me." Representing "Rio Rita" came "The Rangers Song, " by Tierney. The third number was loud and rollicking, quite in contrast to the soft and sentimental strains of the first two songs. A medley of George M. Cohan tunes was the show-stopp ing opener of th e "Andy Mack Trio." Vocal harmony, fine accordian accompaniment , starred-and-striped top hats, and a snappy dance routine combined to add much to the effectiveness of this act. Included in the medley were : "Mary 's a Grand Old Name," "Harrigan," and "You're a Grand Old Flag." For the girls, the three young artists did a novelty arrangement of "Just Because ," and rounded out their portion of the program with another novelty, "Julida. " Andy Maceiko is the accordionist of the trio , and Max Kaplan and Norman Kline j oin him in the vocals. The final group of selections by the glee club began with semi-sea chantey, "Roadways," which was effectively shaded and harmonized by the group. Unaccompanied, the group continued with the sentimental ballad, "Aura Lee." Closing the forty minutes of music and song was a Roy Ringwald arrangement of the "Battle Hymn of the Republic," from the Fred Waring Glee Club Series. An impressive solo was carried by Joseph Curilla. Glee club president Vincent Karas read the morning scripture. The final half-hour of the program was broadcast through the facilities of radio station WLTR. Listen for the Mystery Voice. For Bar 'B 'Q' s ....

" Th e opposition in the first game for the untested Huskies will not be a school team, however, but Fort George Meade in Maryland, always a potential powerhouse among the service nines. The locals embarked yesterday at 3:00 p.m. and stayed at the Army post overnight, with the game scheduled for 2:30 this afternoon. Coach Redman did not announce his starting pitcher, but the choice will be from, three outstanding moundsmen expected to carry the Huskies through a tough 14 game schedule. They are Henry Brunn, last year's lef thand ed workhorse; Mike Evans, a» portsider who was prevented from playing last year by an untimely operation , and Buck Byham, southpaw from. Kane, definitely professional material. The rest or the starting lineup will be composed mostly of last year's returning veterans, with only Owen Di ehl , cat cher , and Eddie Allegar, second-sacker, missing. That means Eddie Piestrak will be at the first base slot, Buddy Thomas at short , and John Czerniakowski on the hot corner. The outfield will be composed of three of last year's four returning performers, John Bu yn ak , Hank Marek, Pau l Slobozien , and Claire Mensinger, with "But t s" Bu tl er slated to see some action in the gardens. George Lambrinos and Stan Levan will ' carry the catcher's burdens, while a newcomer, Di ck Hu mmel, will fill in for the graduated Allegar at second base. Maroon & Gold Band Plays Concert April 5 (Continued from page 1) Their tunes were "I May Be Wrong " and "The Irish Washerwoman." Participating in this demonstration of the art of j azzistry were Carleton Ermish, trombone ; Luther Jones, trumpet; John Brown, clarinet; Jack Swartz , saxophone ; Marvin Meneely, bass viol ; Robert Wire, trap drums; and, Mr. Fenstemaker, piano. "Marche Grandioso," another lively martial air, closed the morning 's program. Noted as interesting was the appearance of a bass viol as part of the instrumentation of the concert band. Mr. Charles Henrie, director of the band during the firs t semester, occupied the French horn chair during the program. Still further exercising his ability and versatility, Bowman was heard blending in fine style with the rest of the band at various spots throughout the lighter selections. On the whole, the musicians presented a performance that indicated that a great deal of time and effort must have been spent in its preparation.

KITTY AND HER YARN August 24 to Sep t. 2 ^^^ ^^^ fc^ fcV^ ^XM^^^ ^B^*^^^^^^^^ ^"*" * ^^^ ^^^ ^^"^ by Don Butcofsky = ^^^ ^^"^ ; ¦ .;¦ ^^^ ^*» = Of Weeks and Things . . . Week-eyed promoters of this and that are forever setting aside weeks of the year as a special time for doing something or the other. A few months ago this column took note of this fact and expressed the need for a 'National Week for the Appreciation and Prevention of Nothing in Particular '. That need has been nearly met during the past week, for at the moment we are on the tail-end of "National Leave-Us-Alone Week ," which is good enough for all practical purposes. Also slated for observance in April are "National Peanut Week" and "National Sleep Week," the latter being sponsored by the National Association of Bedding Manufacturers. Thus if you wish to doze a few lectures away during "National Sleep Week ," you may do so with full knowledge that you are right in the groove with the swing of things. As for the peanuts, the peanut people ought to forget their national week and concentrate upon the development of a silent peanut , one which you could shell in the movies without having it sound as if you were breaking up kindling wood in the back of the theater. * ? ? * * ' Will There Be No End to This Stuff ? . . . Females are having a tough time of it, and more and more it is beginning to seem as if it isn't a woman's world after all. Someone is always coming up with a revised list of what's wrong with women. One of the latest and most up-to-date includes the following: Stout women who wear high heels, women who smoke on the street , elderly women who try to make themselves appear young, women who discuss their domestic troubles too freely while outside the home, women who wear too much make-up, and so the list goes on. Purely as a matter of academic interest, a sight worth seeing would be a stout, high-heeled, youthfully-dressed elderly woman bearing too much make-up and discussing her domestic troubles while smoking a cigarette and casually strolling down the street. If you do happen to see her, she's probably the mother-in-law of the guy that made up that list. * * * * * On the Folly of Ever Getting- Married . . . This correspondent wept profusely when he read of the "Married Men's Menage" in last week's Maroon and Gold. In all sincerity though , we single fellows are well aware of the complications arising out of such a seemingly innocuous acts as getting married, and that perhaps explains why we are what we are — single. That and the fact that some of us did venture a proposal to some fair young lass in former days, only to rise rej ected from a thread-bare knee. Since that time many of us have often wondered if fortune hadn 't actually smiled on us the night Prunella's father ushered us to the front door and requested that we be so kind as to not bother calling again. But there's one thing about it: when you 're single you will always have a chance of getting married, but once you're married . . . well, you 're married for a long time. * * * * * About 'Be-Bop ' At last someone has got to the bottom of this 'be-bop' business and come forth to enlighten us with a definition. One authority describes it as 'the technique of playing half-notes, sliding over notes, or putting the 'fl at' "o a note." Then a word of caution is added : "It takes a keen ear to detect the 'bop'." Things have gone so far that a "Metropolitan Bopera House" has been organized in New York, and 'bop' fans optimistically shout that the 'bop' is here to stay. In case you're interested , you might try this current 'bop' favorite for size — "I'm Forever Blowing Bee-obb-elee-obbelee-oobles, Bee-obbelee-oobles," whatever they might be. ... * ** Ik il * * * Parting Words . . . A local lassie has taken the Doghouse up on last week's cigar offer, but she has requested Dutch Masters in place of the Phillies. Good enough , and as soon as she gets her smoking permit in order, the first award will be made of the Doghouse Cigar Scholarship . . .

You needn 't be a social wallflower any longer. Woo and win your woman with violin music. See George Reck for lessons . . . A campus casanova was asked how he liked the she he was out with the night before. "She nothing," he replied, "that was a banshee." A b east , we take it . . . This issue, the 22nd of the year, establishes a new Maroon and Gold record. In no previous year were there more than 21 issues between September and May. The final figure this year will be 26. Another new record is 11 issues for 11 consecutive weeks . . . And speaking of those 11 weeks, t h at's a long time to put in at the old grind without a break. Nearly two-thirds of a semester, to be exact. With that thought in mind, this is a good place to declare the Doghouse adjourned until April 30. Happy vacationing !

Main St. 1 The University of Illinois was recently selected by the staff of the U.S. National Student Association (NSA ) as the site of the second annual Student Congress. Dates of the Congress are August 24 to September 2. Final negotiations are now underway between NSA's staff and the University of Illinois administration at Urbana. It is expected that more than 450 student leaders from colleges and universities throughout the country will attend the Congress to evaluate the progress and policies of NSA for the preceding year and establish its program and policies for the following year. "Illinois was selected because its facilities are the most adequate, " said Ted Harris, NSA president. It was not possible to obtain the Union Building at Michigan , dorm space was limited at Minnesota , and N.Y.U. was not centrally enough located. The period of the Congress has been increased from five to nine days in order to eliminate sessions which have run into the wee hours of the morning, and to insure adequate discussion and full orientation. The staff is now engaged in planning the details of the Congress, and more pecific information will be announced soon. LAFFTIME . 7. " The physics instructor wrote an equation on the blackboard and stated that a certain number of electrons were involved. From this he developed an entire board of equations, winding up at the bottom with , "So you see we have five less electrons than at the start. What became of them?" Not a sound from the class. Imperatively the instructor asked again , "Gentlemen , where are those electrons?" It was time for action and from the rear seat came a gruff command : "Don 't nobody leave this room." * * * Two cockroaches were lunching in a dirty sewer. One was talking about the spotless new neighborhood restaurant , from which they had been barred. "I hear ,' said one cockroach , "that the refrigerators shine like polished silver, the floors sparkle like diamonds. Why the place is so clean... " "Please, please!" interrupted the second cockroach , "Not while I'm eating!" ** * A motorist was 100 yards from an open railroad crossing proceeding at 50 miles an hour. A train coming down the track at 60 miles an hour was 375 feet from the crossing. The question is: Did the motorist get across ? The solution is: Yes, the motorist got across—a beautiful marble cross purchased by his widow from his insurance money, * * * Customer at garage : "I've been watching that mechanic for fully 15 m i nutes , an d t h ere 's a man w ho knows his business! He didn 't spill a drop of oil, ho put down the hood gently, fastened it securely, left no fingerprints on the car. He wiped his hands before opening the door, spread a clean cloth on the upholstery, meshed the gears noiselessly and drove slowly away." Bystander: "Yeah , that's his own car!"

ALWAYS UP TO SOMETHING. You 'd never guess why Janie Kenvin had that sock tied around her arm all Thursday afternoon. She was j ust waiting for inquisitive people to ask her — to which she replied , "I'm a pledge of a new Japanese "fraternity, 'Saki Cheri Pi. ' " OFFICERS INSTALLED.
