oanoke (amblings COULD GO AND ON were two morons one of wanted to have a house and the other of whom to build it for him. agreement was made and expected and duly ap day for the beginning of came. The carpenter with his crew of men. frenziedly to work, he’d been working for two hours he walked over ere his employer stood however, and inquired: when you start to a house, must you start at bottom and go up or can start at the top and build ?»> a long silence, the other moron turned to him and sympathetically, “I'm afraid have to start at the bottom build up. Why do you ask?’’ I was just wondering," re the other as he walked off at down in the shade nearby, about 30 minutes he sat suddenly he got up and ran over to where his men Were working. "Tear 'er down, boys!" he shout ed, "we've got to start all over." SECOND SPASM .‘.Safely over this disaster, the ■tittle moron who was having the .house built decided to add a ga •wprp onto the nroiect. Strolling around the new devel opment one sunny morning he was amazed to find the little contrac tor throwing every other nail away as he waj nailing boards on the side of the garage. M “What in the seventeen diffei ent brands of tomato juice and , three skof plow points d i £ you think you're doing?" he raged. ‘ •“Don't you know those nails cost |Kn>oney? What's wrong with them?" But the little moron contractor refused to be flustered. Drawing himself up proudly, he cooly re sponded: ‘‘The heads are on the wrong end!" ‘‘Why you blockhead!" stormed the owner. "Those nails are for me other side of the garage!” k SIAMESE DEPARTMENT On Friday morning (after last week’s column had gone out say ing we’d probably see a Siamese Saucer most any time) the Ram bler walked into the office to find two flat white squash sitting up on his desk. For a moment we thought someone had found j the saucers. However, since the saucers have j just about disappeared, we'll prob f ably never get any closer than that to seeing any. We will sug gest though that this particular type of flat squash be called saucer squash. Then these which we have in the office could be culled the Siamese Saucer SQaastl. They were grown in a Patterson Mill Company garden and were brought in by Paul T. Thompson last Friday. > IT MUST HAVE BEEN POTENT A few days ago we heard a man say that he had figured out why so many people were seeing "Flying Saucers.' He said up un til a few weeks ago we had sugar rationing and the bootleggers were hard pressed for raw ma terials from which to manufac ture ‘White Lightning.' The drink , ing public, as a sad result, was forced to down legal whisky. ‘‘Now that they are beginning to again drink ‘bush whisky' they just can’t take it and are seeing things." Not being very gullible. we laughed at his explanation, think ing it very foolish. But after listening to Carl Goerch in his Sunday night radio broadcast, in which he described his encounter with one of the flying saucers Sunday afternoon while returning to Raleigh from the coast in his airplane, we are thermed to believe that maybe our friend was right. Carl even hail the saucer open up and its oc-1 cupants inquire the way to Hol lywood. (Why ask Carl? Why not Ava Gardner or Kay Kyser—at last reports they were still around - At any rate* it must have been FIRST PRESS Speaking of the coast, though, the Rambler got down that way this week end and, although he didn’t see any of those things you’re-tired-of-hearing-about - by now-aren’t-you (?) he did see a .sign in New Bern which told that the first printing press In the state was put up by James Davis there in 1749. Davis published the first newspaper and as a side line printed some books. To him also must go credit for: (al though these are perhaps not Mentioned on the sign) the first typographical error, the first scoop, the first editorial, etc. RIIGHT NUMBER WRONG COUNTY Jack Brlgman, the deputy sher iff, out in his patrol car Sun day afternoon, heard a call come in over the net for “Car 11." That being the number of his car. Jack turned around and headed out in response to the directions. He acknowledged the message and said go ahead. “Go to the Sky View Service Station out on the Bayview road man is beating his wife, ’ "blared out the radio. Brigman began wondering about this because he’d never heard of the Bayview Road nor the Sky View station. He called in again, but, though he heard the announc er tell another car that ”11 haa answered tout hasn’t acknowledged the message," could not roust (Continued on Page ^Section A, THE ROANOKE RAPIDS * * * ★ ★ ★ Wliat Roanoke Rapids Makes Herald Classified Advertising -Makes Roanoke Rapids Get» Quick Results * * * * * * VOLUME XXXU_ROANOKE RAPIDS.

BICYCLES WANDER Eight to 10 bicycles are being ‘stolen’' daily, the police depart ment reports, much of which could be stopped if each owner would lock his bike when he leaves it on the street unattended. Most of the "thefts" result when a youngster in one end of town wants to go to the other end and, finding walking distasteful, "borrows" a bike. Police say there is probably no malicious intent but that it results in the own er’s having to recover his prop erty. Driver’s License Tests Being Held Roanoke Rapids and Halifax County were reminded this week that those whose last names begin with the letters A or B are now being tested for re-issuance of drivers lic enses.
