Carpenter, jr., at Lake Montonia. t Mrs. Meek Carpenter was a guest of thfe club, and score pri zes went to Mrs. Bruce WcDaniel, who won high in bridge, and to Mrs. W. R.

LET'S tai"- 'hen I By: Grace & Sftlxna We hear much about the doleful side of driving which does, of course, make pretty somber reading when we consult accident statistics, but there is a lighter side. We hare gathered a few choice bits concerning driv ing which includes the case of the Atlantic City motor ist who ran headon into a 240- pound pedestrian. The man afoot was unmarked, but the car suffered dam ages to the tune of $300. A lad^ driver who picked up a parking ticket outside a dress shop coaxed a suspen ded sentence from a sympa thetic judge when she ex plained: "I was trying on a girdle and was unavoidably detained." Another distaff driver was collared for skipping a red light driving the wrong way on a one-way street and doing it all without a license. This wasn't particularly start ling unless one considered that the same young lady had been a "Miss Safety Queen of 1952". Down Tennessee way, a gal grabbed by the long arm ?f the law for reckless driv ing was surprised to learn that she, and not a fellow passenger was driving. The prize, however, concerns tMf; driver who was arrested for failing to stop when a police car tried to flag; him doitfh with full siren. The explana tion: He thought a woman was whistling at him! By the way. we're not fast whistling Dixie when we say that ALLEN'S FLOWER SHOP. 624 East King St., is noted for fine, always tasteful floral ar rangement* It there to a birthday or an Important anniversary to honor, kern ALLEN'S FLOWER SHOT In mind for a *? membrance which will be remembered.
