OUR
CITY
TODAY
)'
I LOU S ALLARD JR -
The "flood' last night came as a
good sarnatitan cooling off the peo-
ple after a "red hot" election It di-
verted the attention of everyone so
Nvell that they forgot all of the hard
feelings they had worked up towards
one another
In all of the hardships suffered
last night by the high waters there'
were many funny incidents
Several local men who have been
complaining of looking so shabby
Birce the "boom" might feel a little
better 'tomorrow as it is the annual
Senior Class "Hobo Day" T h e
Seniors will be dressed in their "very
Lest" hobo finery and will really be
hoboes for a day
J E Gibtmn is pretty well ach
ed about having to wait several
hours atthe shop before he could
go home last night on account of
the rain
A lost ad that Dr W J -Neal wish-
ed to place in the Derrick today reads
like this: '
LOST: Phone me if' you know where
my old white and black shaggy
bird dog is—not wortlf:a dime but
would like to find him and give
him a decent burial '
The Jaycee Quartet' finally has
worked up enough courage to sing
and got over pretty well -They
are now open for all ingeginients
Sc they say '
-' '
Dr O W Starr put Jimero Rust
who has been the "hot shot" advertis-
ing salesman of the Derrick to shame
today when he and several of the bth-
er Legionnaires went soliciting adver-
tising for te "Legion Special" of the
Derrick to come out this Sunday The
Legion is financing the district con-
vention next Tuesday in this manner
and are cut for "blood"
Spit and Splatter Club members
have began their nightly gatherings
on th! corner 'Of Broadwity and
Pennsylvania and stand ready toH in-
sult the women of the city who pass
by The "bank holiday" might have
helped everyone else but their sttpply
of tobacco is considerably low - How
about taking up a collection for them
t( get a few packs?
Tommy Miles has been somewhat
cramped on his fishing with his
new job
One thing about those defeated
for Street Commissioner there are
several defeated for the same of
Ike who can't "kid" them about
being "licked"
'
a a
Election day is just another Tues-
day to Mrs Mary Jane Norton "I've
never voted in my life" Mrs Norton
said this morning as she stopped to
that in front 7if the Derrick office
"The men have taken care of it this
long so I'm willing to let them have
it the reA of the time" Mrs Nor-
ton is 80 years old and walks with
crutches She lives at 318 South
Ohio avenue

away and $135 in cash and currency
was stolen from his home
The 'water carrying in mud and
waste oil rose to about 12 inches in

into the street
While the family was gone from
the house someone entered it and
stole the money that he had hidden
under the mattress of his bed
One $50 bill and one $20 bill was
included in the roll of 035 taken by
the prowler
When one of the members of the
family returned to the house 15 min-
utes later to got th3 money it was
