Main Street Gossip Grant Tank, Walkerton’s leading .gentleman of leisure, arrived home Saturday evening from Florida after spending several weeks in the South, which according to Grant, isn't as sunny as it's cracked up to be. Said Mr. Tank, “Why, that state of Florida belongs right up ' next to North Dakota when it ■comes to temperature. From about 9:30 in Hie forenoon until about 3:00 in the afternoon, it’s alright; but outside of that it’s n. g. Why, I it gets so damp in the evening that my smoking tobacco, which I keep in a tobacco pouch, has to he laid mil on a newspaper in the sun the next day to dry before it will smoke. And another thing, it takes S4O a ton fertilizer to make their oranges and grapefruit grow to any size. And as for “this good old southern cooking,” it was the greatest disappointment of my entire 75 years of living! Bah, J never want to see Florida again.” I We hope Nick Carter doesn't see this and that the Florida Chamber of Commerce doesn’t hear of it. I Well, we have saved up two tinfoils from tooth paste tubes and > we found another in the alley back ■of our house, and w e have 167 old newspapers, two aluminum pans 1 which we forgot to turn in when they were making airplanes out of them, and have cut our consumption of sugar down 50 percent until .two pounds will last us S l 2 days, as our bit toward winning the war and paying pensions for our congressmen. At first we thought that pension grab for congressmen was bath ‘cause the nation couldn’t afford it, but since we started saving tin foil, it doesn’t look out-of place, (not much). We personally know a lot of fellows who worked for the government back in 19)7 ami 'IS, who haven't been put on the pension list. <>f course, they didn't w ork in Wa hington and tiny didn't do much chin wagging, hut they did do some shoveling and things in trenches over in Fiance ami place.-. Anti wherf they camo home from ov< r there, didn’t the folks in New Yoik ami Washington shower Hum with ticker tape and toilet paper as they make a great parade up Fifth Avenue and down I’ennsyl vania Avenue. But, of course, those fellows weren’t the law-mak-ing employees, tiny were just the nation's defenders. Say. these folks out at West York, <>r “Mudvillc," as one beautiful woman put it when she told about stepping in mud clear ov< r , her alee top-, are really making themselves at home in Walkerton. Many of them are subscribing for the Ind 'pendent, which is, after all, by the very nature of things, (And we say it in all humility), the town's biggest booster. Housing Manager John .M. Sullivan of West York ami his wife, of St. Louis, were in town Saturday looking over "their” rental prop|erty. Mrs. Sulivan was not much 'impressed with the great gobs of soft mud which was everywhere present, but her husband assured I her that would all be taken care of nicely in time and that West York will be an ideal place in which to live. John really hdieves in the product he has to sell! If the crowds get any larger at the North Liberty high school basketball games, principal J. W. Gentry threatens to have some sky hooks installed t<» hang the late comers on. You have to miss your supper now to get a seat. Better have the Manual training Ma-s add to the bleacht rs or build a Halem ■ . It's mw sp< ck. for < harlio Hinz at LaFe|»er’s! The meat cutter w: ■ a hit sleepy after the Legion Auxiliary party the other night ami aeI cidentally gave out a phoney “cracker jack" quarter as change । to a lady customer who caught the I big boy up. And was his face RED!
