Shelley Goocher wants to know if
anybody has suggested that all of
these flying saucers might be the
Hoover soup bowls returning. Oh,
no, Curt, not that, Let it be any
thing but a Hoover soup bowl.
It has been a very perplexing day
for me. Here it is National Smile
Week and I can’t think of anything
to say to cause one.
My mother used to tell me when I
was a boy to watch my conduct and
manners at home so that when I got
awav from home I would know how
to behave In Q ther words, beh 05 ve at
home and the 3 do just like y O u do
at home when you are away from
home I always tried to do that ex
cent for one thing—and that is to
e it turnip greens. When a fellow,
because of an economic problem, has
to eat these things at home, he

children he’ll have until the day he
dies. When Frank came in with a
smile as wide as grandma’s battling
stick, I jokingly inquired after I dis
covered the reason he was at home,
if Mr. Brinson didn’t make a lot of
boys and girls mad when he turned
out school. Frank thought I was se
rious and answered, “I don’t know,
daddy, but if he did, I wasn’t one
of them.” An unscheduled school hol
iday is one of life’s greatest
events. Many is the time, when I was
a boy, that I used to wish that some
minor catastrophe, like a flood or a
fire, would put an end to school.
One of the greatest school days of
all was April Fool’s Day. I don’t
think children do it anymore, but we
used to all run away, head for the
woods and the less timid of us would
slip off from the crowd and go in
swimming. Never will forget the
time that a.bunch of us boys ran
away on April Fool’s Day. An old
man, who was on his last legs as a
school principal, was seeking to make
:■ comeback so as to prolong his
teaching career, saw in our running
away a good chance to make capital
out of our misbehavior and maybe
endear himself to the school board.
He sought out the ring leaders in the
run-away escapade, one of whom
happened to be me, and meted out
an unusual punishment. At this
school there was a huge pile of scrap
lumber left over from the new build
ing. The old man lined us up, and
he, standing by with a stick much
like a convict guard, required us to
move all that lumber out by the
fence. When we had moved it by the
fence, he had us to pick it up and
move it right back. This went on for
days, until some of us decided that
\ Ve had received just punishment,
The lumber was rich pine, something
that now, too, has become extinct,
so would burn almost like gasoline,
and two of the boys, neither of whom
for security reasons will I mention,
but one turned out to be a newspa
per columnist, stuck some paper un
der the luntber and applied a lighted
match thereto. The lumber became
an j n f erno almost immediately and
the old school principal had the most
surprised look when he turned around
and saw his lumber going up in
smoke—and him supposed to be
guarding us. And to'pour salt into
bis already bleeding wounds, when

f the school board, who was and still !
