SUMMER DOLDRUMS . .
When linotypists become weary of
setting mountains 0/ copy, and
proofreaders become nearly blind
ed from reading miles of tran
script, and editors fall under the
spell of summer doldrums, then
little printer devils are likely to
play havoc with an author’s ef
forts.
These little imps cavorted madly
and gaily through the last column
of the Scribblin’s. Perhaps they
sought to add something special, or
perhaps they did it in the hope of
antagonizing the author, or per
haps it was only natural, they be
ing devils, and the column being
about tobacco, which some consid
er is the devil’s weed.
Anyway, Oscar Wilde, consider
ed by many to have been England’s
greatest satirist, became Oscar
Wilder; evidently became event
ually; old Isaac Hawkins Browne’s
heart was warmed by cookies in
stead of cockles; and Browne’s
ode to the pipe became “A little
tune of mighty pow’r” instead of
“A little tube of mighty pow’r,” as
it should have been.
Oh, well, all is forgiven. We’ve
got the doldrums, too, Editor. Pull
up a chair, suh, and let’s beat the
heat with a couple of mint juleps.
Sure, the linotypists and proof
readers can join us. There’s a gen
erous supply of frosted filled
glasses waiting in the refrigerator
right now.
(Linotypist’s Note: Maybe
Scotte’s typewriter ribbon needs
changing.)

IT WAS COLD OUTSIDE . . .
Theo Davis recalled when he went
to school in a log cabin at Moun
tain Creek. On the cold winter
days the hogs that roamed about
would come up to the school and
nestle up next to the stick and dirt
chimney to keep warm, punctuat
ing the pupil’s lessons with con
tented grunts.

ON LEARNING THE HULA . . .
Aboard a Lurline luxury liner of
the Matson fleet headed for Ha
waii, Jewell Hood learned to dance
the hula. This is a free service the
Matson fleet provides for its cus
tomers to the Islands. Her profes
sor was Howard Kekaiohuokaie-
Morris.
“The hula is done with a side
stepping, hip-rotating movement,”
The Zebulon Record
Jewe.l said. “The general idea is
to keep your “opu” (tummy) in
rhythm with your “okole,” which
is Hawaiian for derriere. You have
to imagine that you’re standing in
side a barrel and then you swing j
your middle so as to touch all sides j
of the imaginary barrel.”
