MATY LANE.
Hello, Folks. This week we're
going to give you a key-hole ver
sion of the Prattler writing the
Prattle.
It’s Monday morning again and
time to do another column, First,
we insert two sheets of cop> paper
in the ancient typewriter; two
sheets to keep the thing from
making %o much noise, when the
letters hit their mark. Then by
the Biblical method, “Seek and
Ye shall find," we peck out the
title. Next we fix our spacer to
double space, indent and begin,
"Hello folks. - ’ At this interval the
typewriter bucks, jumps and
skips and seems to rebuke us for
our tireless efforts. Then we start
giving the back spacer the works,
breaking our nicest, longest,
sharpest fingernail in the proced
ure. We just couldn't even use a
nice gift typewriter without a
back spacer, because we would
be lost. Cause with us it gets
as much action as the keys. At
this point we start looking around
for our notes. Now where in the
world is Note No. 1? Ah. here it
is, on the back of our mother's
grocery list . . . Two local girls
were being rushed by two Emory
Junior students the other night . .
Now for Note No. 2. Wonder where
it is? . . . Oh, there it is hiding in
the ink bottle . . . Scoop Statham
has announced his intentions to
use the old nimble fingers (nim
ble from so much pounding on the
typewriter; the two forefingers
anyway) on a few guitar lessons
and we bet we know who from,
now that Miss Corrie Goodman is
coming back to town most every
week-end! . . . Now what was
Note No. 3 about? Oh, we remem
ber now . . . Dima Crowell was
so stingy with his old chocolate !
covered cherries that Melba Bon- j
ner bought her a box full for her
own self! . . , Now for Note No.
4. Could that possibly be it lurk
ing behind the desk calendar”
Sure ’tis ,. . Pop Gates complains
that the column isn’t long enough
these days. (Pop, you don’t ever
see anything but the finished
product! And are you lucky!)
. . . Now we had four SITES OF
THE WEAK in some secluded
spot , . . Site 1. Corporal Roy
Ccrfer and his pal in traditional
Army uniform rounding the curve
on a very squeaky
Site 2. Dennis Hancock selling a
gij-l a tube of lipstick at the cos
metic counter and then inquiring
if it was kissproof. “Don’t know,”
she answers, “haven’t tried it out
on anyone yet.”
Site 3. Mae Waddleton and
Howard presents Mathis in picking the mail out Christ-j order
mas
catalogue . . . Site 4. Bud McGib

Miss Carolyn Stevens, of Dawson, Ga„ and IV, If. Jester, of At
lanta, executive secretary-treasurer of the National Peanut Coun
cil, are shown at the National Peanut Festival at Suffolk, Va., where
■Miss Stevens represented the council as a princess in the court of
Queen Arachis llypogaea II. They joined Southern peanut growers
in celebrating opening of the 1941 season, during which the nation's
chain stores will help move a bumper crop estimated at 1.480,280,00(1
pounds. Miss Stevens, a junior at the University of Georgia, is the
daughter ol Ed Stevens, director of the council and one of the most
prominent figures in the peanut industry.
enlistees in front of the store . . .
Now where are those two elite
little sayings? They’re supposed
to be over here somewhere if
Scoop Statham hasn’t swiped
them. Oh, we’re sorry, Scoop, here
they are in the waste basket. (Or
did you swipe ’em and throw ’em
away?) . . . Funniest thing, you
know we have a radio at our
house that plays three stations all
at one time and you can hear three
good programs all at once without
moving from your chair and mis
sing only the highlights of each,
. . . Now what was the other one?
Oh. yes . . . Seniors at P. H. S. are
having quite a difficult time strug
gling through English literature.
After reading the foot notes they
still don’t know what it is. Per
haps someone should write some
foot notes for the foot notes, huh?
we thought they were
cute, anyway! ... At this point
the desk looks as if a storm had
j hit it—no, we don't that mean a brain-
1 storm either-—if could be pox
sible. (We’re treading on danger
ous ground though. We’d prefer
not to go into that discussion of
BRAINS again!) . . . Let’s
now where were we? Oh, yes,
Note No, 5. as No. 5 . . . James
Durden is wild about, not
Harry , but Rosie (Anonymous),
James found that moon and does
he like to look for it (with Rosie!)
. . . Note No. 6. Why, we saw
that note here in the desk drawer
just last night. Aha! Discovered!
Under that ink blotter! . . . Every
time we go in the drug store
James Harold Gates is hanging on
the leceiving end of the telephone.
And at his age, too! . . . Now we
had a swell little story all cooked
up about “She Don’t Appreciate
Good Music.’’ We were going to
! give it the Academy Award. Ah,
here it is, wrapped around a type
writer leg. ACADEMY AWARD
STORY . . . The other night Glenn
Christian went up to serenade his
girl by playing his guitar under
her window. Well, he took Scoop
Statham along to sing and Edward
Rawls along to play the harp,
And you can guess the rest. The
girl friend pulled down all the
j windows and shut up all the
| doors!
I Doggone it, there is Note No. 7

here they are on the floor. We
stoop over, pick them up, raise

edge of the desk, A headache. We
take the aspirin. Note No. 7. Dor
othy Kinard and Emma Lou Wil
son’s neighbors have difficulty in
keeping up with the time . . .
Shame on Buddy, Arthur and
Siick for not filling those dates
that Sunday afternoon, after
Charles Lee went to all the trou

About this time a peddler knocks j
