JCLTS AND JARS
By JOHN "AESOr" POLLARD
Once upon a time there were three
bears—Poppa Bear, Mama Bear, and
Junior i Baby I Bear.
Because of the gasoline and tire
shortage people didn’t come and feed
the boars like they used to before |
Pearl Harbor, so the Mamma Bear
decided to fix some porridge (?) to
keep the wolf away. But Poppa Bear ^
got up and came anyway. j
Mamma Bear set the table . . .
down and they started to eat.
"Gripes, Ma,” cried Junior, "this
stuff is so hot it has just singed my
fur coat. I can’t eat it."
"Junior is right, Ma," said Poppa
Bear, "the spoon just melted."
So because the concoction was so
hot they decided to take a ride on
the family bicycle while the stuff
cooled off.
Just as the Bear family pedaled off,
a cloud of dust arrived bringing with
it a red convertible and a girl named
Goldilocks because of her peroxide
hair.
Goldilocks’ "A" ration card gave
out in front of Bear house, and Goldi
locks went to the house seeking help
or something. She knocked. No
one an.swered, naturally—they had
just left on their bicycle, remember?
However, knowing that everyone Is
friendly toward blondes, she went in.
The penetrating aroma of the por
ridge reached her tilted nostrils. It
smelled so good she tasted it. It
was O. K. as bear cooking goes, so
she ate a bowl. But she was still
hungry, so she finished off the other
two servings and chased them with a
couple of Pepsi-Colas (?).
After all of this Goldilocks felt
sleepy. Her instinct told her where
the bedroom was. She found the bed
room, thanked her instinct, and de
cided to turn in. The Baby Bear’s
bed was too small. Mamma Bear’s was
cold, but Poppa Bear’s was just right
—still warm, he'd just gotten up to
eat. She undressed and in no time
at all w'as fast asleep and dreaming
of her boy friend in the Army.
As soon as Goldilocks was fast in
the arms of Morpheus the three Bears
returned from their bicycle ride.
"There’s been a female in the
house," said the Mamma Bear, part
from experience and part from her
instinct. ,
—^ pet itrto *•' ' '■■iJ^embers oi the
a man’fd this and rushed in. The
we d'jear picked herself up and
watfl.
(e’s eaten our porridge," said i
. ,)a Bear with the Sherlock Holmes |
,1 him bristling forth—or fifth.
/ "Maybe she’s still here," cried
Junior," not at all dismayed at the
porridge loss.
Poppa and Junior raced for the
bedroom.
All this commotion had awakened
Goldilocks, so she hurriedly started
to dress. But she was too slow—
Junior and Poppa Bear caught her
red-faced, or vice versa.
However, before any harm could be
done. Mamma Bear came in and took
charge. She was very angry, .so stie
made Goldilocks make up the bed
and pay for the porridge, plus 3 per
cent sales tax.
The moral of which is: Crime don’t
pay.
Did You Know? Stuff:
That Ina Ray Hutton has earned
three life-saving medals?
That while playing Gene Krupa con
tinually chants, "Lyonnaise potatoes
and some pork chops"?
That the first song Frankie Masters
composed was "Scatterbrain"?
That Bobby Bryne’s ear is tuned to
absolute pitch—he can give you the
key for any sound—whether made by
taxicab or musical instrument?
Dear Diary
By Mary Denson
Moments of reminiscence. Of
laughter heard on the campus, of
ten.se seconds at our games, of care
free hours spent with our friends, of
serious thoughts in the classroom.
They will aU drift back over the
sea of memory to the ones who will
be leaving Elon for the last time this
quarter. .\nd all these memories will
return, again and again, to them, as
each one leaves us for an unknown
destination. It is not of their own
inalmis and doing that t?iey .ire Ic.'iv-
ing now, but they are only answer
ing to a will far greater than their
own.
The job set before them is not an
ea-ty one—It is far differorit f 'om the
onB that was before them when they
entered colIegB. They will be called
on for more serious concentration. \
and the lessons they learn will be |
partly from books ana partly from
he grim reality of life and death.
Many will succeed and return as of-
•icers: many will also succeed by be-
■oming the unknown soldiers and
heroes on the battlefront, but may
never return. But when they grad
uate from this school of learning, with
a diploma hard won and more than
thrice earned on the subject of victory
for our nation, the Whole country will
rejoice with them.
Moments of reminiscence. In the
hearts of these boys will be found
love—the love of family, friends,
sweethearts, and this love will carry
them through the darkest and most
trying hours. Behind them, they wift
be leaving all this, for ahead of them,
a love that is more urgent at the mo
ment is calling them—the love of
their country and freedom. But may
they never forget those they love, and
the things they love, for wherever
they go, they too will be remembered
For every moment they are out there
thinking of home, and the things that
home means, we also will be think
ing of them, and reminiscing with
them. And when their hearts rec
ollect the moments spent with us in
which we were all so carefree, may
they also remember that indirectly
those moments are what they are
fighting for, that those moments are
why they are there now.
We, the ones left behind, may not
be able to be out there with them,
but we will do our part to help them
win this battle in every way possible.
And when, and if, wg have to leBVe'
we will go gladly also, to take our
places until the firing around the
world ceases. And the ones that will
never go, but will remain here to
keep our country alive with every
thing it stands for, will be here to wel
come home the victors.
We cannot express in words how our
hearts feel about you and how proud
we are of you. All we can say is,
good luck and God bless you wher
ever you may go. And know that we
back home are ever thinking of you,
and praying for your safety. We are
definitely sure of the victory you will
bring us, and all our faith is in you,
as all our love goes with you. So, to
the ones leaving, we all say, in your
Moments of Reminiscence, remem
ber we are thinking of you as you
dream of us, and know that the in
evitable Victory will be achieved by
no»e other than You!
