QUIT YOUR CRABBING; THINK OF THIS POOR INSECT.

Some people crab (because its hot; others bedause its cool. Some humans ctaib over the peace treaty one way or the 'other; others crab 'at the weatherman —in truth the wholle wide world is inhabited by a I set of chabbers Who overlook not a single (thing to crab about. j But the only thing -that has a real, for-sure-enough crab coming is, ■ the lone gold fish that resides in the I large glass jar down Bert Jarrette’s I I way. To begin with a gold fish has small enough privacy as it is, but i the lone survivor of Mr. Jarrette’s school has more than the usual : amount of kick coming. To be , placed on Miain street, alone and i unprotected, to be scanned constant-, i (]y by the curious public, is the i | height of injustice and something; should ibe done to relieve the poor , I insect of its embarrassing position, i Won't someone ptease buy this abused lifttie animal?

Workers in the downtown district took the situation good naturedly. Vehicles that (had long been junked rattled ever the pavements while by evening thousands of trucks had been put in use to convey the crowds ito their homes.
