Gee! was that a thrill, just like breaking out with measles--unexpectedly-- this time I suppose 111 break out in the waste basket. You know, it's funny-- I always think of you as an IDOL or something with a sign on, reading: HANDLE WITH CARE. Anyway, last year after that letter of mine appeared in your column, fcoy, I was just scared to death of you -- not 'catise, maybe, you'd bite me, bu% just 'cause you Were such a "great guy," like the President, or somebody. Anyway, here I am again, waking up after, a winter's hibernating (the neXt thing to it, leastwise). And so is our lake region, hm, hm, "Pistakee Lake." (We don't have to have outdoor movies to attract people to oar lake.) (No offense, McCollum!) We have swimming, fishing, sailboating, canoeing", and motor boat riding. And say--some night when you and the Mrs. are feeling sorta, well, romantical--Come on up and III loan you my canoe. Speaking of fishing. Why doesn't the Plaindealer put a fish in a lake (might as well be generous and put one in each lake, 'round these parts) like Oscar, Fanny, or Some ftsh ana then give some $ $ $ for the lucky person who catches it, "dead or alive." You know, like playing "Cops and Robbers," only real. In winding up these Scatterbrain Items, I say, to you, I enjoy your column immensely, I remain -- Obediently yours, ' (Orson Welles kinda gets me--catch?) MARIE JOHNSON. P.

Don't be too surprised if the affair draws a large crowd into the community. Francis Schmitt, local high school athlete, pulled a neat one.

The playground program and bath favorite stamping grounds! Maybe you are carrying on many boosts for old Pistakee that your dad started some years ago. (A great guy in any man's language. But, this is no time for sentiment). Say! We hurried right along home with your letter to show that "romantical" part. It went over big--we think! But, first, please could tell: Does that canoe tip? Do you furnish water wings? Would it be better if we took some jo!t of a wide bottom scow? " £ould that scow be made to operate under its own power? Now, about that fish.

Tom Bolger (of the back page) is sending the boss -- if you know what we mean. Tom figures it would be cheaper to get "Mose" out of town for a while, anyway. You get the fish. We'll tag it "Mose" and betcha that fish will never, never get caught. We know 'cause we've been throwin' out expense account hooks for the longest time. No bite!
