a coat on a picnic Charles C.
Cheek Jr., his wife and son were
heading for. They had another
ride so Cheek, an Asheville Citizen-Times
printer, left his coat in
his car parked in front of the Cit

On his return, the coat was
gone, but that's only the pream
ble.
Seems Cheek's father-in-law,
Doyle A. Rogers of Marshall Rt.
6, had come to town to buy some
peaches down on Lexington Ave

There are all sorts of people on
Lexington and some of them don't
have cigarettes. One of these lat
ter types approached Rogers ana
bummed a cigarette.
Tn the ensuimr conversation, the
cigarette bummer also mentioned
he had a coat of good quality he'd
'sacrifice-' for S2. A deal was
made and Rogers couldn't resist
bragging about his good buy.
Yep, you guessod it. When la-

Cheek promptly claimed his trav
eling coat.
"Sure," said Rogers, "but it 11
