Lions member cooks sure pulled
a boner Monday evening when
by some quirk of fate the dish
rags got tangled in the hamburger
raeat in the sandwiches of Hurley
Blumer, captai of the winning
membership drive team, and J.
A. McLauchlln, Lion president.
Captain of the losing team,
Paul Evans and his co-workers
who prepared the hamburger
for the wJners, just couldn't
apologize enough when the two
Lions bit into their hamburgers
and out came the dishrag. The
blame finally went to E. L Mc-
Carty, a member of the winning
team who was helping fry ham-
burgers for the losing members.
Seems he was trying to wash
dishes and fry hamburgers at
the same time.

We know a former Perkins
Joual editor who has been hold
ing out on a little news item that
People here would be happy to
hear about.
In reading the Talequah Times
nanaged and edited by Glenn
Eyler, we noted a news item
where Mr and Mrs Glenn Eyler
of the Times were expecting a
guest, but was delayed by the
weather.
Actually, we had heard several
weeks ago that Glenn was now
married, but wanted to wait for
confirmation before we made a
note of it. Just goes to show,
read your newspapers and you'll
learn something every time.
Congratulations, Glenn!
