( I Page Six Squirting Bricks Are Cause Of Soggy Cbthes, Moods By Betty Lynn Wilson Remember those rainy days, when mad dashes are made to the dining room? Remember those sudden incidents that c^use one to believe it rains up rather than down? Doris McMillan can tell you all about rain that rains up instead of down. The point of all these questions is the squirty bricks situation. Npt feeling at all creative, and in desperate need of a few de scriptive words concerning the bricks, I enlisted the aid of various Salemites and found that—well, just read on. (By the way, the question asked by your roving re porter was: “What do you think of the squashy bricks ?—something cute, please!”) Ann Mixon: “That’s why I came to Salem—I love that limp, soggy feeling around my ankles. I like the atmosphere of damp wet stock ings.” Erancine Pitts: "I fussed at Mar lene the other day for messing my socks—It turned out the culprit was the brick.” Jean Edwards: “I’ll tell you a little secret; I had to change every article of clothing I had on one day, except two pieces.” Freida Siler: “I like to walk in mud and feel it squash through my toes, blit I don’t like to step on something hard and feel mud around my nOse.” Angela Howard: “Squirt, squash, squirt.” Bryan Bowan: “I’m going to get out there some Saturday and pour mortar around them.” Alice Carter: “I don’t have time to change my socks after breakfast and before my 8 ;30 class—besides, I don’t have that many socks.” Agnes Rennie: “I’d rather walk on dry shoes and socks than squooshy sponges.” Carolyn Spaugh: “They squirt.” Helen Carole Watkins: (calmly putting on lipstick) “They fit in with the tradition at Salem — wobbly.” Pat Marsh: “If they give me the cement. I’ll be willing to fix them,” Jane Little: “They splash me from my feet to my knees—I just as soon walk in the mud.” Carolyn Watlington: “Well, don’t think much about squashy bricks—I watch where I’m going!” Temple Daniel: “That’s one of my favorite pastimes—all the com ments the girls make as they get splashed.” Frances Williams: “They always surprise, and who likes to change clothes ?” Cynthia May: “I think they’re a psychological hazard, because they cause thoughts that are not fitting to Salem ladies.” Molly Quinn: “Have ’em fixed; they make me mad at 8:30 in the morning.” Peggy Chears: “I think they’re atrocious; I’ve lost more feet that way.” Barbara Smith: “I’m going to re pair them, because all the broken heels and ruined stockings they’ve caused are costing a small fortune.” Now you have the opinions of the experts. They know, for they have lived through the ordeal of rriud spattered bodies and apparel. What is to be done? How can Salem overcome this handicap ? First of all, wait for the next rainy day — then make the 30- minute brick test and prove it to yourself. Next, write a letter to your Congressman and get him to send you information contained in the booklet “The Psychological In fluence of Rain on Bricks.” And last, take all your socks down to the laundry—they’ll need a week of washing.
