Filter Plant News Well, the month of June is here again. Almost everyone over at the water factory is fishing every chance he gets. Andrew H. and Hunley M. went fishing. Hunley reports that Andrew is “rawthuh” old fashioned—^bent pins, grocery store string, and stuff like that. James W. even caught a fish. . . . Boy, was the fish surprised! We were, too. . . . Who would have expected him to PULL the thing out? ... At first, we thought it jumped out. . . . Here is a poem that Charlie A. learned when he was a senior in high school: I eat peas with my honey; I’ve done it all my life. It makes the peas taste funny. But it keeps them on my knife. Ah, youth! Ah, spring! Ah, love! “Aw, heck!” says Hunley Mehaffey, who still does as he pleases. (He’s not married yet.) . . . Lucky fel low. ... He doesn’t think he is lucky. . . . Which just goes to show you what makes horse racing pos sible. . .. Difference of opinion . .. Mac says he will marry the first chance he gets. . . . Yeh, the first chance at a million dollars. . . . James C. says the three R’s of matrimony are as follows: Romance, Rice, Rocks. • All of which brings on another poem. . . . Sounds nutty to me. . .. Anyway— Large fleas have smaller fleas Upon their backs to bite ’em. And those fleas have smaller fleas. And so on, ad infinitum. Which also goes to show you just how low a water department reporter can sink, when we try to think of something to write. Enough of this. WA'TER DOG. Buy U. S.

Here’s hoping for a trader. .The groans from several of the girls these mornings isn’t from old age but as a result of softball practice. Looks as if the weekends aren’t long enough for Chas. M.

She’s also counting the days until boot training is over. Is it true that Mary Jo was seen being escorted by a G. I.? Come on, ’fess up, Jo.
