My "confession" about the blonde from Portsmouth In last week's column received a variety of Interpretations. Several called It a shrewd ma neuver . . . "just beating the story home after you were caught." "Confidentially now," asked a pal, "what happened after you left the ice cream parlor?" "You sure it was an ice cream parlor?" asked another. Jane Zickgraf, who "caught" me with the blonde beauty, Is slightly miffed about the whole thing: "... I didn't know what to do." But the one who really deserves some credit is my wife. She was completely unmoved by it all ? and just last night she promised to be speaking to me again by next Tuesday! jpb For an old coffee drinker like me, the hike to a dime for a cup has struck In the tender financial region. As a matter of course, I seldom drink less than nine or 10 cups a day; that was until last Thursday when the high cost of drinking struck. As much as I like coffee, the family budget won't allow a dally outlay of a buck or more. So, I'm back to drinking water again, cold, and in a glass. It'll probably give me an ulcer, too; did you ever notice what water does to the inside of a water pipe? Prom a business standpoint, I can't understand why the restau rants went up to a dime. Coffee is as cheap as it has been in years (at least the brand we drink at home) and dishwashers still have to keep busy during the lull be tween meals. And anyone knows that a restaurant's coffee drink ers (regardless of how much trouble they seem) are also its eating customers; while they're sipping that troublesome cup of coffee, they buy cigarettes, do nuts, and other snack Items. Just seems to me to be poor business to charge a dime for a goodwill service that does more to encour age eating customers among the locals than any single item on the menu. jpb It was just a coincidence last week that this column and one from the St. Francis Catholic Chapel, entitled "A Bad Egg?" ap peared on the same page. At least I think it was coinci dence , . . and in case it wasn't I'll make amends by noting that the chapel is very popular with visitors. More than 1.000 visited it last year, according to the church register. jpb The new "haircut" on Frank lin's Indian Mound is becoming. And the town should take note of the neat appearance of the attrac tion to assure that some tourist doesn't get lost in waist-high weeds. Incidentally, the "tonsorial art ists" responsible for the mound's chic appearance are the Neal sis ters. The two gals were really Slav tag away at the underbrush when I stopped by one day last week. "Hard work!" I remarked sym pathetically. "Sure is," answered one. "but we're getting paid (or it." Jpb In a letter to the editor last week, Dr. C. W. Mann, summer resident from New Orleans (and an old-school coffee drinker who will be chagrined to learn It's now 10c) asked if folks here aren't in terested in part-time residents. The fact that they were unable to take part in two big activities here last year led him to decide maybe that is the attitude. Well, as it happens, I'm familiar with both activities, the Centennial celebra tion and the county fair, and any oversight was unintentional. Just so summer people could take part (may have missed some, but It seemed the best time), the Centennial was held off from Feb ruary to June. In planning for the town birthday party, it was de cided that by June 15 practically everyone with Macon ties, through kin or adoption, would be here by then. Last year's county fair, held in August, attracted only a small number of exhibits, indicating that the best time to hold a fair is in the fall after the harvest. So, the planners made the change in the hopes of having a much bigger and better (air this year. Jpb "It's amazing how many people apparently can't read," Resident Highway Engineer S. T. Usry com mented one day this week. Hundreds of automobiles go right through the detour signs on US 23-441 from Franklin to Dllls boro. And when they get up the moun tain and find the highway closed they're mad enough to fight the whole highway department. "It's hard to understand," the engineer said." . . . the 'road clos ed' sign is so big they practically have to drive on the shoulder to get around it." Film, "Martin Luther' To Be Shown Here The film, "Martin Luther", will be shown at the following places: Sloan's Chapel, Tuesday, May 15; Bethel Community meeting, Thursday, May 17; Kettle Bock Baptist Church, Friday, May 18th.
