Anger makes men witty, but keepS them poor. (Frances Bacon) Only the guy^who isn't rowing has time to rock the boat. A loafer is the guy who tries to make both weekends meet. A sweet letter from my friend John Looze followed my reply in this space concerning graphaphones. He dies hard! Of course, I will be forever grateful for the ad he sent showing a handy walking cane that opens to an instant seat anywhere. That might be just the thing to take when shopping with my better half. To emphasize the usefulness, Jdhn circled this with ted ink--"supports over 300 lbs." That should be adequate. When they advertise pills doctors recommend most, I wonder what doctors. --And isn't it soothing to hear about one pain killer that dissolves in your stomach 30 seconds faster than its nearest competitor? After you have suffered a couple of hours with a headache, what's another 30 seconds. A plate of shrimp takes my fancy, but don't sutff 'em for my taste. The U. of I. may have some kind of football team this year. We predicted they would hit stride in their third game , not realizing that Syracuse was the third. Swamping them Saturday may mean the Illini are ready to roll on to the Rose Bowl. Sat in our easy chair Saturday night and watched the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame beat Michigan 23 to 17T This was the first night game at Notre Dame. They don't need lights to fill the^tadium so it is as plain as the nose onyour face that increased TV revenue isr the answer. One writer said it was an idea advanced by the Michigan coach. I dunno. Hope the N.D.. parking lot was well lighted. We have seen people sear­ ching frantically for their cars in broad daylight. Suppose there never was a football game where somebody didn't leave their tickets on the piano. • Met a young man who knows a lot about feeding birds. Should have asked his name. One thing he told me is that blue jays will feast on peanuts in the shell. I know they are tough birds, but didn't know they would break the shells. Bird feeding time is drawing near so it behooves us to get ready for the busy winter. I call it feeding the livestock. Mrs. Ray (Betty) Smith phoned Sunday night to invite us down to the Fox Hole where preparations were under way for another of those famous fish fry treats. Anglers like George Rodenkirk, Ray Smith, Tom Sutton and their wives, have a private spot where they catch blue gills, then bring them to Fox Hole "Red" for his special treatment. Bob Blake (eating, but not fishing on this occasion; and Larry Nimsgern (missing). they taste better than a banquet. Dorothy Noonan kept setting those bluegills in front of us until it seemed we would be there for breakfast. George Rodenkirk brought in 71 fish and numbers 70 and 7 said they ed I atfe . In a final/note, let me report that Bob Adapts attended a Christmas party Saturday night. On Donder, on Blitzen! Can New Year's Eve be far away?

When a party is a surprise for the recipient and an almost surprise for the planner, everyone is really sur­ prised. Dick Mumma was in Nashville Sept. 2, which was his birthday. He was a bit unhappy having to be away from home, with just a phone call from wife Cheryl to honor his day. His family too, missed his not being with them. Cherie listened to the sermon in church on Sunday the 5th, with the message that by hesitating and not making a commitment, one would have regrets.
