Running out of gasoline,
a Lititz youth walked to
town, more t h a n a mile, to se-cure
enough gasoline to bring
his truck home. After he
returned someone happened
to spy in his truck two gaso-line
torches, filled with more
t h a n three , times enough fluid
to have brought him home.
"Funny," he commented,
" t h a t I never thought of i t"
There is an old saying that
what you don't have in your
head you have in your heels.
Wellington M. Pfautz, At-wood
Kreider, Robert Pfautz
and W. S. Diehm went to

old man. In a droll
southern accent he asked

A f t e r telling him, he remark-ed
t h a t he had often heard of
it as the place where every-one
voted the Republican
ticket.' "Well, here's four
t h a t vote the Democratic tic-k
e t , " commented one of the
p a r t y . It electrified the old
gentleman, and he clasped
their hands. "When I get
back home, he beamed, "I'm
going to tell my friends that
I met four genuine Lancaster
County Democrats.
News travels. The news
t h a t Frank Rader caught the
champion bass of the season
a t Rudy's dam traveled to
Virginia. Thad. Will of this
place accompanied a recent
excursion to Luray Cave. To
his surprise he heard several
natives of the little town of'
Luray talking about he won-derful
bass fishing at_ Rudy's
dam near Lititz. Their view
of the place was g r e a t l y mag-nified
and one would have
been led to suppose that it
was the best fishing ground
in many states. At all events
the Virginians were consider-ing
making a trip here.
Since Mr. Rader caught his
bass at Rudy's the dam at-t
r a c t s many fishermen who
never thought of going there
before. There is not a day
t h a t fishermen do not line the
banks. But fishing there has
proved mediocre. There are
much better bass streams in
Virginia.
Heard anything drop late-ly
? Local butchers have re-duced
the price of all kinds
of meat. The drop came with-out
warning but nevertheless
was welcome.
