and, another thing is, there’s
nothing to talk about this time.
Had a few notes stashed away
and just looked for ’em . . .
can’t find a blessed one.
Makes one think ofthat Poor
Mr, D. L. Pemberton who lives
in Brownfield. He lost more’n
his notes. He lost a 500-acre
pea patch filled with ready-to-
pick peas, valued at some
$30,000.
Seems Mr. D. L. P. drives
41 miles once a week to Semi-
nole to work on his farm south-
east of there.
T’other day he drove over
and found his pea patch picked
cleaner’n a whistle.
How are the guys who took
such a crop going to find a mar-
ket for so many peas??????
Wish I could find those notes.
lands and can give tips on
sight-seeing.
Hope the four have fUn . . .
FUN.
One was about Galen Rarick
who was advertising manager of
The Winkler County News along
about 1949-50. Galen was want-
ing to know what on earth had
become of his former boss and
friend, Nev Williams. (Several
of us would also like to know.)
Anyway, Galen said he is now
in his fifth year with the Jour-
nalism Department of Univer-
sity of Oregon, Eugene, Ore.
He rather recently had open
heart surgery and the “artifi-
cial” valve is much more sat-
isfactory than was the “real”
one.
He and his family are happy
as can be and like Oregon very
much.
Galen was a well-liked fellow
in Kermit.
Charles and Winnie Spikes
were having breakfast. Winnie
brought out a new jar of orange
marmalade.
Charles: “By the way, you
can’t guess what I ate yester-
day. It was greenpepper jelly!”
Wife: “Green Pepper Jel-
ly???”
The Fellow: “Sure wa's.”
She: “How did it taste?”
He: “Well, not like orange
marmalade.”
Funny thing . . . there is
green pepper jelly. One of the
home demonstration club wom-
en had some on display for
Achievement Day. Mrs. Dick
Bennett, another HDC member,
also makes the pepper jelly.
If any of you would like, the
recipe is available.

Has anyone tried the sauer-
kraut cake? Olive Stephens may
be brave enough this weekend to
see what it’s like.
But, remember when Brownie
(Mrs. R. A. Brown at the post
office) told of a carrot cake a
few years ago? I thought she
was . , , well, one DID wonder.
Most everybody nowadays
cooks the carrot cake . . . it’s
delicious.

Would like very much to know
who the woman is who has been
going to garage, rummage, side-
walk . . . what-have-you sales
and buying up old earscrews.
Seems she sticks them on pic-
ture frames and sprays the
entire thing with paint.
Don’t you think it would be
interesting to see an earscrew
picture frame?
How long since you’ve seen
a half dollar? Mystery to Mint
officials is what’s becoming
of ’em. History-shattering quan-
tities of the coins are being
minted, but sure disappear into
thin air. Even the 1965 and
1966 Kennedys, which sure don’t
have enough silver to whistle
over, go faster’n hot cakes.
There are some sources
which believe the shortage will
be over in 1967. Wanta bet???

Pat Hughes is feeling much

likes cool weather and peps up

She has a bit of a problem!

Gerry (Geraldine) (Mrs. J.

She buys one of those soft,

She hasn’t decided yet wheth-
