()t course every b°dy has heard a
hour there being nothing between
Amarillo and the north Pole except
;> barb wire fence. When Admiral
1'rarcy reached the North Pole, he
IS supposed to have remarked, "Gee
' I'll bet its e ld in Amarillo this
. ; ruing." (This is a gross reflect-
ion on the exhilarating climate in
i iie Panhandle).
And we all know the suddenness
villi which a norther strikes: like
the time the man threw a dipper of
water at the cat. Just then a norther
lot, freezing the water in midair
and the chunk of ice fractured the

Anyhow there are hundreds ol
