First day of spring . . . and this
lad is the envy of our heart. He
is intent upon the fish biting and
how Impressions would like to be
at the same fishin’ hole. Yes, bare-
footed, too.
But, there’s this column to write
and a paper to put to press.
* *
.Russell Woods says this story is
too good to keep. Publish it in the
newspapei’ and he will just forego
telling it to the congregation. Dud-
ley Bredthauer introduced his Ro-
tary talk in this manner:
I’m ready to go as was the lady
who. had married four husbands.
The first was a millionaire, the
second was an actor, the third was
a preacher and the fourth was an
undertaker . . . you understand:
One for the money,
Two for the show,
Three to make ready,
And, four to go.
* *
The following letter was receiv-
ed by Impressions this week:
“Many have agreed that Mrs.
Gonzalo Capistran is a very worthy
person for the nomination for
“Flower of the Week.” In addi-
tion to keeping her four boys in
school she has taken on the added
responsibilities of den mother to a
Boy Scout troop, co-sponsor to the
Tejas Campfire girls, and an active
member of her church and P-TA.
Mrs. Capistran has been serving
as room
other of
“She serves faithfully and well
on the polio drives, assistant at
the T.B. testing center and is al-
ways cooperative in any worth-
while project that she is asked to
participate in.”
Yes, indeed, and Impressions and
the Refugio Flower & Gift Shop
agree, too‘. Therefore, we’re happy
to have the Flower of the Week
go to Mrs. Capistran.
* *
Meet the new columnist in this
week’s issue. “Old Buzz” make’s
his initial appearance. This week
he has good intentions of making
regular weekly visits ... if the
grind of doing it each week doesn’t
become too great, he’ll be buzzing
regularly.
