My Favorite Stories
By CARL f'pERCH
A couple of Sail ici.iy nights ago,
there was a little dinner party out
at the Carolina Country Club In
Raleigh. There were Ave or six
couples in our group. Our waiter
was Frank, who. has been an atten
dant at the club' for ma y years
and is more or leas an institution
around there.
We were about halfway through
dinner?and a very nice dinner it
was. Someone Inquired: "Have
you made your list of questions for
next week's magazine?"
We told him we had.
"How about asking us some of
them?" was the next question.
"Wait until the magazine comes
out," we suggested.
But other members of the party
seemed to like the idea, so we dug
down into one of our pockets and
pulled out the list,
We started off with Question No.

No Rinks In Korea

Here's one of the most unusual
things done by returned prisoners
of the war in Korea. ,

to a rollar skating rink eight

kept whizzing around the floor un

It seems tne former POW loves

He went for a-swim in Highland

Voice Of The People
SPARTANBURG, S. C. (AP) ?
For years it's been against the law
to park on the streets here be
tween midnight and 6 a.m. The
idea was to help street sweepers,
but no one paid any attention.
Suddenly the police started en
forcing the law. Parked cars were
towed to a garage. Then, the howls
went up.
The mayor and councilmen stood
it for six weeks. Then, they re
pealed the law.
of serving a lunch to the family
and relatives on the day of the
funeral services whenever there is
a death in the community.
1: "Who founded the French
Academy?"
"Anatele France," waa one ans
wer.
Louis XIV," was another.
"Napoleon Bonaparte," was a
third.
And there were still a number of
others, all of which were wrong.
"Well," we remarked, "you evi
dently don't know the answer to
that one, so we'll pass on to No. 2."
At that moment Frank, who was
busily engaged in removing some
of the dishes from the table, hap
pened to catch our eye. "Do you
mind if I answer that question, Mr.
Goerch," he inquired.
"Surely not. Go right ahead."
"The French Academy, or
Academie Francaise, as it is better
known, was founded by Cardinal
Richelieu and was composed of 40
outstanding men whose chief func
tion was the registration of correct
usage of the French language."
"Correct!" we announced.
And with that, he took his arm
ful of plates and saucers and head
ed for the kitchen.
There was a momentary silence,
broken only by an embarrassed
cough or two.
We looked at our list and then
propounded Question No. 2: "What
play, by George Bernard Shaw, was
made into a libretto by Oscar
Strauss and called the "Chocolate
Soldier?"
"The Pirates of Penzance," haz
arded one of the guests.
"Wrong," we told her.
"C h a u v e Souris," suggested
another one.
"Wrong again! You'll have to
do better than that."
Several other opinions were ex
pressed, none of which, however,
proved to be the correct answer.
"Those questions art too dog
goned hard," protested one member
of the party. "Who In the world
could answer anything like that
unless he happened to be specia
lizing in music or something?"
"That's right," someone else
agreed.
Frank, the waiter, was back in
the room, clearing up some more
dishes.
"They're not too hard," we pro
tested. "Anybody ought to be able
to answer questions of that type.
How about you, Frank?"
"What's that, Mr. Goerch?"
"What play, by George Bernard
Shaw, was made into a libretto by
Oscar Strauss and called the "Cho
colate Soldier?"
"Arms and the Man," said Frank,
without hesitation, as he gathered
up some more used dishes and
headed back into the kitchen once
more. , t* ?
"Don't you think we'd better get
up and dance?" suggested one of
the ladles. "I see the orchestra
has arrived."
"Yes, let's," agreed another one.
"Wait," sgid one of the men. "Go
ahead and give us one more ques
tion."
"All right," we complied, "here's
No. 3: Who Is Azreal in the Jewish
and Mohammedan religions?"
"That's an easy one," someone
promptly spoke up. "It was the
name given to Jacob in the Bible
after he wrestled with the angel."
"Wrong," we responded. "You're
thinking of Israel."
"That's what you said."
"No sir. The word is Azreal:
not Israel."
"There goes the orchestra!" ex
claimed one of the ladies.
Three or four started to get up
to dance, but one man raised his
hand. "Wait a minute." be said.
And then, turning to Frank, who
had returned to the room once
more and was busily engaged with
his work, he said: "Frank, who was
Azreal?"
"How do you spell It, please sir?"
"A-z-r-e-a-1."
"Oh, yes sir, now I know. Azreal
appears in both the Jewish and
Mohammedan religions. He is the
angel of death, who separates the
soul from the body."
There was a general pushing
back of chairs, and the dinner came
to a close. And. there were no
more requests for any more ques
tions.
Frank went right on removing
the rest of the dishes.
