Many of our weekly columns are "for the Birds" we're told, even a few that weren't supposed supposed to be. If the local newspapers newspapers which have recently adopted a new "kick" of captioning captioning the local news with a headline taken from the report such as "Mrs. Smith aches from arthritis" instead of denoting the place of origin of the news and leaving one searching frantically for the news of your choice, not realizing realizing Mrs. Smith lives in Smith- ville or wherever. However, if this policy were continued, the caption for this offering might well be "Yelverton Correspondent Correspondent Cries Wolf" or more specifically "Coyote."

The reason, in case you hadn't guessed, was that somehow or somewhere somewhere , Mama Bell got hèr wires crossed and left our area devoid of telephone service. service.
