Gloss's Column Too True To Be Funny: The story goes that last week the king of Eng land called together a group of ad visers to discuss the war situation. The consultation went on for hours, and everybody had given his opinion except one. who was a Scotchman. The king turned to him and said, "And what is your opinion?" The Scotchman said. "Well, sir, I don't know, but I think I'd put Canada in my wife's name." And then there's a neighbor of ours who has been wanting to take a re fugee child. Seeing him out walking with a pretty little girl, another neighbor inquired. "Oh. this is the little refugee that my wife and I were planning to take." he answered. "She's quite frail, but we're hoping to build her up." "Yes, she does look frail," agreed the friend. "Just think what she has been through! She's probably very undernourished. You'll have to feed | her weli and get her fat." After | which a long conversation took place, ! mostly about how the child should ! be cared for, etc. The man has yet to confess that ; the child was his own niece who was ' there for a visit, and there's no tell— I ing how many of us wasted unneces sary sympathy on it. I Or you might be interested in the ■ bridge player, ordinarily an excel j lent player, who grew rather des ! perate as the evening wore on. It was not a case of money, as there were no financial stakes, but was rather a case of her honor and reputation as a bridge player being at stake. Her bidding grew a bit wild (evi dcntly) ic»v wo heard ner opponent? agree riot to write down any score ihey made against lier it' it turned out to be less than 1001) points per hand! "We'll all hang together.. .or we'll all hang separately." The Pan-American conference is going to have a mighty difficult time working tilings out Those who were interested by the Nazi demands on Costa Iiica would do well to see how near Costa Rica is to the Panama Canal. Costa Rica was not the only American country to re ceive a note from Germany. Four other Central American countries re ceived a note in regard to the com ing conference. Nobody believes it when we tell them, but at the Aquarium at Piver'.- Island (Beaufort), there is a fish. As far as we are concerned, other fish are just fish, but this is really a fish. It has fins (or some thing that look like rudimentary legs with rudimentary feet. It jumps and hops along on these "legs". It climbs the side of the aquairium's glass walled container. It lies down on its side. It has eyes that turn around like pinwheels. It also has horns, so help me Hannah, and we saw it at lunch time Sunday, and furthermore we guarantee if you go there you can see it. too. Not only it. but them, for there are a number of them there. Lastly, it puffs itself up in the face and yawns if it doesn't like you. And if you don't see the same thing I saw when you get there. I'll eat the next one that comes along.
