LET'S
By: Grace & Selma
If you have long been
irked at automobile driv
ers who "take their half
out of the middle", dart in
and out of traffic like sta
rtled antelopes, and in ot
her ways disport themsel
ves like escapees from
~ certain institutions, then
Consider what an author
ity has to say on the sub
ject of driving manner
isms.
A constant horn-tooter,
for example, is an intolerant
and critical individual and,
as you might have guessed,
slightly neurotic. The driv
er who regularly forgets to
signal or dawdles across in
tersections in the face of a
red light is probably a drea
mer. Dreamers on occasion
rise to great heights in the
fields of music, and art, but
more often than not their
bemused paths lead to quiet,
serene plots in the local
cemetery.
The crowder or roadhog
is generally conceded to be
inconsiderate, unsympathe
tic, and quite boorish. The
prize of them all, however,
is the joker who has no place
to go and pushes the speed
ometer ! to ninety to get
there. The mental descrip
tion of this type driver is us
ually associated with the
wearing of Napoleon hats. ?
Speaking of associa
tions. make one visit to
ALLEN'S FLOWER
SHOP and you'll always
associate us with GOOD
Floral Gifts, at the BEST
prices. BETTER take our
advice and follow the dis
criminating folks to 624
