put me on the PERVERBAL SPOT
to write this week's Bugle I reck
pn that's the way you spell It) -Bob,
you ' should ' have sent me your
BOOKSHUNARY, as you knew my
EDDICATION has been sadly neg
lected, due to a YEN I had some 201
or more years ago to join up with
a great show called "DEMOREST
STOCK CO" owned by a fine old
gei.U' iJ--;, whom 1 think of to this
d:y cs Ci" of the finest and great"
est 'st v,v. -i ever lived, and I might
add i. very hard working man,
No. ioiks. not Bob, Jr. It was Bob,
Sr. A, Bob's Dad often. made the
old time-worn remark" that Bob
bie, as he "called him, "could lay
right down side of work and go to
sleep." . . ..r'v-y.
First, JDear Readers, if there Is
anything in this column that does
sound sensible, it is mere -a CO-In-'
cidence - As I imagine you people
who" once saw me there at the High.
School Auditorium appearing in a
"Red Cross Drive" play with our
good friends, Bob and Marge and
my fine wife and buddy. Also little
Robert Craft lending a very timely,
hand. - Will readily admit I am a
Perfect IDIOT, I studied to be an
Idiot for 20 years on the stage.
Now here I am running a Picture
Show. You really don't have to be
crazy or an idiot to run a picture
show, but IT SURE DOES HELP -If
you AINT NUTS when you first
start, it only takes a few months
to go that way.
As this is my first column and
(DARN THAT GUY, BOB) my last,
I will write a bunch of time-worn
gags and a few puns on the Good
Folks I know here, there and over
Duplin County. Tho if any libel
suits occur, they are, of course to
be against BOB (BUGLE) DEMO
REST, as he is REALLY the Edi
tor of th's scandal sheet I am
glad to note Bob at last has his
new gas heaters installed as, it's
tough to be getting OLD and COLD

Drove up to the gas pump and
asked "How far is it to Pink Hill?"
Avon replied, "10 miles" The man
said "Give me 20 gallons of gas and
a quart of oil" "and he drove oft
A little later another traveling
salesman (seems they wui the on
ly ones had gas tickets them days)
druve up in a Pontiac and asked,
'How far is it to the Pink Hill Llck
er Store?" , The same reply was
given "10 miles". He says, "Well,
give me 10 gallons of gas and 2
quarts of oil," and he druve away
towards Pink Hill - - Bout that time
we all heered a great Comotion
up at Archie Lanier's Filling Sta
tion - We run up trfere and here
was Flavious Williamson.pulled up
with a old Model A (his electric
work truck), it was steaming and
smoking. He yelled out, "How fur
a piece is it to Pink Hill?" Archie
yelled back, "10 miles" - Flavious

how Tim-got , out of Jail, but dog

he got in Jail, how come?" Bob
Says, "Well they mixed up the reel

back In and I'll runn it all over -The
patron accepted Bob's offer
and, this time Bob put the middle
reel in the machine, thinking it was
O.K., and ready to run, RIGHT -but
it hadn't been rewound, but
Bob RUN it - Yes folks, you guessed
It, Backwards and upside down
Tho as Demorest puts it, and me
