Research Professor
Looking For Two
Student Technicians
Work Will Include
Time On Electronic
Computer and X-Ray
Dr. Ray Pepinsky, research pro­fessor
of physics announces that
several jobs are open for students
to work part time on the projects
currently in progress in the Phy­sics
Department.
Electronic t e c h n i c i a n s and
machinists are needed at present.
Electronic technicians will work
under the direction of electronics
engineers to build the circuits for
an electronic computer. They^
should have experience in build­ing
circuits from diagrams or
breadboarded circuits.
Machinists are needed to con­struct
machanisms associated with
X-Ray problems and should be
capable of using the lathe, mil­ling
machine, shaper, drill press
and hand tools to work steel,
nickel, iron, brass and aluminum.
An hourly pay scale compar­able
to the experience and ability
of the worker will be paid. Stu­dents
may work up to six after­noons
per week.
Persons interested should ap­ply
to Dr. Pepinsky or Hugh Long
in the basement of New Building
between 2 and 4 p.m.
Players To Hit
Road Next Month
For the second time in its his­tory,
the Auburn Players, stu­dent
dramatic group, will become
a traveling theater in November.
The current production, Gel-doni's
"Mistress of the Inn",
which is classified mysteriously
as "air unrorhantic 'comedy about
love", is now in rehearsal.
For the setting in mid-18th
century F l o r e n c e , a portable
stage is being constructed. It will
have collapsible frame work with
draperies suspended. Period cos­tumes
will complete the romantic
atmosphere.
Last year's t r a v e l i n g play,
"Oliver Oliver", was acclaimed in
Birmingham, Montgomery and
Columbus, as well as in many
smaller Alabama cities. Telfair
Peet, director of the Players, dis­closes
the inquiries about the
new play are already coming in
and are most welcome. Any
group with access to a small audi­torium
can sponsor the play, said
Mr. Peet.
The cast for "Mistress of the
Inn" is as follows: Title Role:
Betty Ramsay; The Marquis, La­mar
Rainer; The Count, Tommy
Eden; The Cavalier, Bob Black­burn;
Ortensia, Carol Dorrough;
Djaneria, Shirley Braswell; Bill
Mobley; and Robert Laney.
TIGER TERMINALS LOOK OUT YOU 'GATORS'!!
Reading left to right are five Tiger ends who will be ou for an alligator skin Saturday. They are Fred Duarfc Ralph Pyburn,
Erskine Russell. John Moulton, and Ray Williams. In the Home coming affair. Russell caught three passes. Williams snagged two.

Big'Beat Florida' Pep Rally
Begins Tomorrow A t 7 P. M.
Selection of One Cheerleader Will
Be Made as Part of Ceremonies
By Tom Sellers
Students! Come to the Pep Rally Thursday night!
A "Beat Florida" pow-wow will be held ino front of
Langdon Hall at seven. The A u b u r n Band-will be t h e r e with
i ts tom-toms and a hopped-up version of "Tiger Rag". Head
Cheer leader Bill Newman says that all freshmen caught
without rat caps will be uncere­moniously
scalped.
Tryouts for male cheerleaders
to succeed to Larry Riedel's place
are scheduled for the occasion.
Judging will be by popular ap­plause,
and final decisions rest in
the sage hands of Coach Voyles;
Coach Beard; P. R. Bidez, band
leader; T. C. Clark, director of
student affairs; Dick O'Cain,
president of student council; Bill
Newman, head cheer leader; and
Happy Davis, alumni secretary.
Freshmen—you are especially
urged to attend Thursday night's
shindig. Next week at the "Beat
Tech" rally you will be initiated
into one of the finer traditions
of the Auburn spirit—a pajama
parade. You haven't really lived
until you're marched down Col­lege
Street with you red flannels
floating in the breeze.
ANNA HUTTO IS NEW PRESIDENT
OF SPHINX, COED HONOR GROUP
By Phyllis Stough
Anna Hutto, a senior in the
school of science and literature;
from Jasper is the new presi­dent
of Sphinx, senior honor org­anization
for women. This org­anization
recognizes girls who
are outstanding in scholarship,
leadership, personality, and serv­ice,
and strives to encourage
these qualities in other girls on
the c a m p u s . Membership in
Sphinx is one of the greatest
honors bestowed on senior wom­en.
As a freshman, Anna was sec-letary
of Oracles, an honor so­ciety
sponsored by Sphinx. She
has also served as president of
Alpha Gamma Delta sorority, and
this summer represented the Au­burn
chapter at the International
Convention at Banff, Alberta,
Canada.
At Auburn, Anna is well-known
for her friendliness and
pleasing personality. Her success
as a campus leader can be attri­buted
to her feeling for Auburn.
She says: "It is large enough to
enable one to e n l a r g e one's
friendships and yet small enough
to make these friendships close
and lasting."
One of Anna's favorite pastimes
is d a n c i n g . Another pastime
which she enjoys is reading.

Anna Hutto
When asked what her favorite
food was, she thought for a mom­ent,
and then replied: "There is
nothing better than peaches 'n'
cream unless it is spaghetti cov­ered
with cheese."
Her greatest weakness — she
did not hesitate to say—is that
wonderful creature, the man, who
hasn't good looks but has a per­sonality
which makes up for it.

Florida Seeks Revenge
For Last Years' 47-12
Spanking By Voylesmen
By Jack Simms
The Auburn Tigers broke into the win column in the an­nual
Homecoming game Saturday by virtue of a decisive
(even if the score didn't show it) win over the Bulldogs of
Louisiana Tech, The 14-0 score didn't tell the real story. The
Tigers made 320 yards from passing and rushing plays com­bined
and lost only 35 yards,
while their heavier opponent
made 126 yards in their combined
efforts but lost 45. In all, the
Plainsman outgained the Bayou
boys by some 204 yards.
In the 14-0 rout, the Tigers
made nine first downs against
five for the Louisiana team, and
Auburn drew 55 yards in penal­ties
while the Bulldogs were
tapped for only one 15 yard clip­ping
penalty.
With one victory under their
belts, the Plainsman begin a six
weeks stand against SEC foes.
Saturday afternoon, the Tigers
will again invade Montgomery
where they will take on the
Florida 'Gators. The Floridians
have a much improved team
over that of last year and will
be out to gain revenge for the
47-12 drubbing they received
last year. Auburn holds the
edge in v i c t o r i e s over the
Gainesville gang 13 to 9 and
one game ended in a tie.
Again the Tigers will be out­weighed.
The Florida line will
average right at 200 and their
backfield 175. while Auburn's
forward wall weighs 189 and
the backfield 174.
In the third; quarter, Russell'
Inman busted over from the'six
inch line to give Auburn its first
score. The touchdown was set-up
with a brilliant 45 yard run by
piano legged Billy Ball and three
quarterback sneaks by Inman.
Cochran conyerted while Ball
held to make the score 7-0.
Auburn's other tally came oh
the lasf play of the game. Tid-well,
who .completed 6 of 12 pass
attempts for 113 yards, faded
back and threw a beautiful touch­down
pass to Bill Waddail. The
play started on the Auburn 40
yard line and Waddail caught the
ball on the Tech 20 and had little
trouble in carrying it over. Mc-
Daniel converted to give the
Tigers a 14-0 lead as the game
ended.
Outstanding players for Au­burn
were Billy Ball, Travis Tid-well,
Freddie Gafford, Russell In­man,
Ray Pelfrey, Ray Williams,
Erk Russell, Harold Lannom, Max
Autrey, John A d c o c k, Dick
Hayes, Phillip Poundstone, Bob
Cannon, Royce McMaha*n, Coker
Barton, Andy Duglass, and Hal
Herring.
Inman kept a perfect record in
the aerial department by com­pleting
his only pass attempt for
11 yards gain. His only other pass
of the season went to Gafford for
a touchdown against Mississippi
Southern.
. Herring did a masterful job of
backing up the Tiger forward
wall, and he is rapidly develop­ing
into one of the top ball snap­pers
in the conference. He was
voted the outstanding Auburn
player on the field by visiting
sports writers.' /

Homecoming Date
Now that Homecoming with its mael­strom
of confusion has passed, a reviewal
of weak points in this year's edition is in
order. The Plainsman staff exhausted its
supply of benzedrine trying to cover foot­ball
game, rush week, new freshmen and
registration box-scores. With the added
headache of Homecoming in the first week
of school, we can mark up last week un­der
the category of sheer madness.
That "Homecoming should never be
held the first week of school", is a sage
adag*e which was proved to everyone's
satisfaction last Saturday. The fraterni­ties
suffered particularly, with rush par­ties
and decorations getting in each oth­er's
way and generally creating chaos.
Our sympathies are also directed toward
the college authorities. Important prob­lems
had to be solved in connection with
fabulous numbers of new students, and at
the same time old grads had to be regis­tered
and taken care of. The alumni
themselves must have been disillusioned
at returning to such disorder.
Homecoming should be a tradition such
as Thanksgiving. It should fall on a Sat­urday
not less than three weeks after
school opening during the fall quarter.
Fraternities could complete their rush
festivities and have plenty of time to plan
and construct Homecoming decorations.
If a definite date were set once and for
all ,the alumni would know when to come
and could plan for it in advance.
Perhaps this year's unwise date can be
explained by the fact that construction of
18,225 stadium seats is expected to get
underway soon. However, we still main­tain
that "Homecoming should never be
held the first week of school."
Rats, Listen !
There comes a time during very fresh­man's
first quarter in college when he
must decide upon the extent of his extra­curricular
life. Especially is it difficult for
veterans to participate in petty politics
with the traditional "Joe College" air of
innocence. But trivial as they seem, no
modern education is complete in itself.
Personality cannot be developed alone.
A feeling of ease with other /people, such
an important characteristic of leaders in
any field, is not attained from study but
through association. Representatives of
.companies visiting the campus to inter­view
graduating seniors are aware of
this fact. First, of course, they check scho­lastic
averages, which are of first import­ance.
But then they like to lead the inter­view
around to the student as a person.
In other words. What has he done during
the past four years besides pass the re­quired
courses for a degree.
There are countless organizations on the
campus looking for new members. They
cover numerous interests and desires. For
engineers there are engineering societies.
Those who love drama can tryout with the
Players, or work with one of the radio
groups. Fraternities, sororities, and inde-penedent
organizations meet the need for
social life. There are honor societies to
strive for. On the aesthetic side, there is
the glee club, band, Art Guild, dancing
.classes, or symphony orchestra. All of these
operate in a spirit of democracy and fellow­ship.
Amazingly enough they are definitely
refreshing, and you might find them fun!
Extra-carricular activity does not neces­sarily
mean you must wear a white shirt
and tie to class each day, jangling your
keys on a gold chain. Leave that to the
financially fortunate. What it means is
experience is the every-day business of
living with other people. It means develop­ment
of personality and leadership ability.
It means the difference in getting a good
job or a poor one; in keeping it or losing
it. It does not mean sacrifice studies, but
it cap bring welcome relaxation after a
Freshmen Engineers
There are many advantages that an
engineering student may gain for himself
by joining the student branch of the
organization that brings together many of
the members of his profession or line of
work.
Our campus is fortunate in having an
active student branch of the best national
organization in nearly every branch of
engineering that is taught here. The ad­vantages
that may be had by joining one
of these student branches can be divided
into two groups: The advantages to the
student while he is still in college, and the
advantages to the individual after he has
finished college.
As students, our first interest is naturally
in the first of these groups. The student
branches not only offer the freshmen an
excellent opportunity to meet other fresh­men
in the same course but also a chance
to meet and talk with upper classmeryin
the same course. It is a great help to
discuss your future courses with some one
who has already had them. By becoming
members of one of these student branch
organizations, students are offered the
chance to take an active part in the func­tions
of these engineering organizations
and to become acquainted with the pro­cedure
that is followed at the meetings
of these and other societies. The members
not only hear the views and ideas of
guest speakers, but they may also express
their own ideas by taking an active part
in the programs. Before going on to the
second group of advantages, one important
advantage of becoming a student member
is- that it is a very simple matter for a
student member to join the national or­ganization.
Most of the national engineering organi­zations
furnish their members with some .
form of employment service; invaluable
library service; authentic information on
the latest discoveries and developments in
their respective fields of engineering in
J h form of papers, pamphlets, and maga­zines;
and many other valuable services.
These organizations strive to maintain a
high professional standing among the in­dividual
engineers and to develop the in­dividual
engineer as well as to further the
interests of the profession.
It is a fact that most employers prefer
that their engineers belong to a national­ly
recognized organization.
In conclusion, I would like toj remind
those students who already belong to some
student engineering organization as well
as those who do not, that the real bene­fits
which an individual takes in the ac­tivities
of his organization.
Russia And Our Parents
•Russia is one of the biggest customers
for printed copies of American patents,
according to reports from the U. S. Patent
Office, and placed an initial order about
two years ago for 270,000 copies—nearly
a 10 years' complete file.
It has been disclosed that the Soviet
Union also is one o fthe best customers
for scientific and industrial reports gath­ered
and published'by the U. S. Govern­ment,
and which were disseminated by
one-time Secretary Wallace's Commerce
Department.
Importance of Conservation
Industry—as well as the farm—bene­fits
from soil conservation. More crops
means more income to the farmer, more
revenue 'to the railroad—more demand
for farm machinery—which requires more
steel; rubber and many other materials.
Food For Thought
"Jeff, why is it you never hear of a
darky committing suicide?"
"Well, I reckon it's diss way: A white
man gits hisself into a passel of trouble
an' he sets down an' thinks about it until
his trouble seems so big he shoots hisself.
A nigger man gits into trouble an' he sets
down and he thinks an' he thinks an' af­ter
a while he jes' goes to sleep."

The Plastic Tower By Ralph Jennings
There is-something about a free cpuntry that can't be beat.
All of us know that. There is always room for a new idea or
dogma. We receive 'here in the Plainsman office pamphlets
and tracts" from diverse organizations—many oft them well
known; others not so well known. I have kind words to say
for The Fortean Society from
which we have received a pamph­let.
Any criticism of it could be
treated with sophistical refuta­tions,
but instead, this .treatment
will be detached.
After reading the pamphlet
which presents "the religion of
self respect," I
was inclined to
think that the
authors were
t r y i n g to be
funny. And
then I took a
look-see at the
list of founders
and members. It
is quite impos­ing:
Carl Van
D o r e n, H. G.
Jennings Wells, Upton
Sinclair^ H. L. Mencken, Dorothy
Parker, John Dewey, and- Ber-trand
Russell. One of the latest
"tappees" is Eamon de Valera,
dictator of Ireland.
Says the pamphlet, "We are
asked many times every day what
the Fortean Society is, what its
purposes are, what its require­ments
for membership." It seems
that almost all of the founders
were writers who held to the
somewhat far-fetched belief that
newspaper men were trying to
spy on their antics.
Evidently Charles Fort, the ori­ginal
founder, had a philosophy.
The pamphlet waxed inj.ueid lite­rary
style and almost shed a tear
when it got around to its founder.
It continued, "Fort himself, coping
with ideas which no man had
ever dared to think before, called
out in The Book of the Damned:
'Char me the trunk of ,a redwood
tree. Give me pages of white
chalk cliffs to write upon. Magni­fy
me thousands of times, and re­place
my trifling immodesties
with a titanic megalomania—then
might I write largely enough for
our subjects.' "
Membership? Well, now that's
something else. It is open to all.
Interest is the sole requirement.
The Society has no grips or pass­words,
no rituals, by-laws, initia­tion
or "similar horse-play," and
only one symbol—an enormous
question mark.
Their theme. I gathered, is self-respect.
Eminent scientists, phy­sicists
and medical doctors are
members—likewise chiropractors,
spiritualists and Christians—even
one Catholic priest. Atheists, an­archists,
Jews, astrologers, Re­publicans,
FBI agents, Commu­nists,
poets, are all on the rolls.

File 13—an old army term for 'Wastebaskel'
You have no doubt read on the
sports pages of various papers
about Auburn's new A-T system
which Coach Voyles is employing
this season.
Those who know the history
of Voyles as a coach were not
surprised t h at
he decided to
employ the new
system. By ne­cessity,
if not by
choice, he has
been a progres­sive.
During his
s t e a d y climb
from a high
school mentor
he has been
taught many
Coleman systems by
some of the outstanding coaches
in the country.
Let us start tracing, his career
from his college days:
Even as a player he was taught
two systems: first, the single
wing and balanced line under E.
A. Pritchard, an Illinois man
coaching at Oklahoma A & M.
When Voyles returned to college
after service in World War I he
found a new coach, Jim Pixley,
who was using a spread and
punt formation.
After graduation when he be­gan
his coaching careerkat Altus,
Okla., high school, Voyles used
the single wing and unbalanced
line. .1 jJd
After graduation when he be­gan
his coaching career at Altus,
Okla., high school, Voyles used
the single wing and unbalanced
line.
The next year he moved up to
Southwestern State Teachers and
used a short punt formation and
single wing, with balanced line.
Later as a freshman coach at
Illinois, Voyles found the offen­sive
changing almost from season
to season. First it was the single
wing, then the double wing (with
Grange gone) and then boss
Zuppke switched to the short
punt and T.
Then at Duke, where he. was
end coach for Wallace Wade,
Voyles settled down for one sys­tem
for eight long years—the
single wing and unbalanced line.
Voyles liked the system. For
four highly successful years at
William & Mary, he used it and
brought W&M to a conference
championship.
But in 1944, his first year at
Auburn, he changed again —
single wing back and unbalanced
line. The line was unbalanced one
way, the backfield the other.
In 1945, with scant material,
Voyles tried something new—a
combination of the T and his
1944 system. The blocking back
was under the center on all plays
but not always receiving the> balL

Sunday night President Tru­man
spoke over a national hook­up.
The purpose of his speech
was to inform the people that a
system of voluntary food conser­vation
is necessary here in our
country. Not only did Mr. Tru­man
point out. what must be
done, but he also presented a
plan for doing it.
The President called on every­one
to eat no meat on Tuesdays
and no eggs or poultry on Thurs­days.
Restaurants and other eat­ing
establishments will, of course,
cooperate readily. Their willing­ness
to work with the govern­ment
has been demonstrated be­fore.
Industries which depend
heavily on use of the scarce food
materials will go along with the
new program.
In the final analysis responsi­bility
for the success or failure of
the program will rest with the
people. It is the people who will
decide whether or not to support
the new plan. Restaurants can ob­serve
meatless days, and indus­try
can limit its use of grain, but
unless these economies are car­ried
through into the home the
program will fail. It is the duty

As the Indian said to the mer­maid,
HOW? As -I say to you,
HOW.am I going to answer let­ters
if you don't write them?
Come now, surely someone has a
gripe, or could it be that there
are seven thousand and one (I
hate round figures, just a few
curves) satisfied people here? I
think not, but since you- won't
speak up, I'll discuss a general
gripe.
The subject of long skirts has
come to my attention, and, for the
record, I am definitely against
them. It just doesn't add up. The
gals spend 18 or 20 years growing
long, shapely legs, lay in the sun
all summer to get therri brown,
shave them to make them sleek,
sweat out a war to get nylons,
and then cover them up with
skirts that look like mattress
covers. A mattress has to have
the lumps in the right place to be
any good, but that's beside the
point. If the women are so hell­bent
on going back to the dark
ages for their styles, might I
suggest the bustle.
With modern day "know how"
along construction lines, bustles
could be made to serve a host of
useful purpses. Can you imagine
a bustle made of a good strong
plastic? It could...he.,..div.ided up
into several compartments with
places for lip stick, powder, ciga-rets,
and with a drawer for odds
and ends. A light might also be
incorporated in it much in the
same way as a glove compart­ment
in a car.
The gals could throw away
their handbags, and with the
bustle made airtight it would
serve as a life preserver. The
bustle could also serve as balance
to the modern figure, and on
Sunday the gals could wear one
made of sponge rubber to make
the church pews more comfort­able.
Getting back to the long
skirts, it's called the "new look",
but in my humble opinion it is
only a short glance from ankle
to hem. If a girls slip were to
show she would be in danger of
tripping and might well break
her neck.
If any of you co-eds can de^-
fend the skirts by all means drop
me'a line via The Plainsman and
you shall be heard. Let me hear
from ya.
The Exchange Post By Irv. Steinberg
An upperclassman at the U. S
Naval Academy was caught in an
indecent pose with one of th^
young women employees of the
Academy laundry. Since the lad
was of wealthy and influential
parents, the punishment was
compromised and the cadet was
only assigned a number of de­merits.
The charge? Illegal use of
laundrv BAG.

of everyone, and that includes
you and me, to give full co­operation
to the government.
It will be interesting to note
how some of the active political
writers treat the President's re­quest.
Several weeks ago Sena­tor
Taft, speaking on a political
tour, made the statement that
Americans should eat less. The
next day he was dragged over
the coals by writers all over the
country. Now President Truman
comes out with an identical
statement. Not just a statement,
but a plan of action which will
see to it that Americans do eat
less. Taft is a Republican. Tru­man
is a Democrat. Taft says
"Eat less" and is a bum. Now
Truman says "Eat less". It puts
those hasty writers in a ticklish
position. Which way will they
jump? It'll be interesting to see.
How will the writers who de­fended
Taft react to the new sit­uation?
What use will the two
political ' parties make of the
President's new progrfhi? Will it
injure Mr. Truman ^politically,*
and perhaps boost MrfTaft's sag­ging
chances?
WHEW!
I don't know about the rest of
you, but I've had this stuff. I've
seen some hectic weekends be­fore
but this one beats all.
Last week was a madhouse,
and it has been a long time since
there has been a week like it
around Auburn.
It wasn't bad enough trying to
get started with classes in the
new q u a r t e r,
but there was a
terrific schedule
for the fraterni­ties
and sorori­ties
t r y i n g to
r u s h the new
freshman and
erect Homecom-
| ing decorations.
Then there was
the f o o t b a ll
game Saturday
Hensel afternoon and
the dances Friday and Saturday
nights. While I'm on that subject
let me say that Elliott Lawrence
really put on a swell show which
was enjoyed by all who attend­ed,
according to reports last Sun­day.
It is really a shame that The
S t a d i u m couldn't accomodate
more fans than it did. Everyone
is looking forward to the day
when the rest of the "horseshoe"
is completed and Auburn Sta­dium
will be something to be
proud of and capable of handling
home games.
* * *
I would like to apologize to all
of you who read some of my
articles last quarter urging an up­swing
in spirit around this cam­pus.
If I bored you, let me as­sure
you that it won't happen
again.
I've seen some lousy exhibi­tions
of spirit in my day, but this
past weekend certainly took the
cake as far as the football team
is concerned. First of all, there
was a pep rally Friday night.
That is probably news to most of
you, because there were only
about 250 students out for the
occasion. That's a fine turnout
for a student body of 7200 stu­dents,
isn't it? Nothing like sup­porting
the home team.
There was also a fine turnout
of students on all the street cor­ners
Friday. The only trouble
with that turnout was that they
were all looking for rides home.
Great stuff, eh? Rah. Rah.
I might also point out that I
overheard quite a few of the stu­dents
in the stands razzing the
Tigers and generally yelling der-rogatory
remarks about their
performances. What's the matter
boys, haven't you got the back­bone
to support a team unless
they are.'bowl material? I have
only one more thing to say about
the fine exhibition of the Auburn
Spirit. NUTS!

College No Longer Keeps Special
Records For Students on Gl Bill
The Veterans Administration
has relieved colleges and uni­versities
of the burden of keepr
ing special records for VA on
students enrolled under the Serv­icemen's
Readjustment Act, VA
reported today.
Beginning with the fall quar­ter,
VA will accept the decision
of school officials as to whether
or not the attendance and grades
of GI students are satisfactory.
Colleges and universities will
no longer be required to keep
records of attendance and grades
for the Veterans Administration,
VA officials pointed out. The new
procedure applies to students in
school under the GI Bill but not
to disabled veterans receiving vo­cational
rehabilitation.
It will be the responsibility of
school officials to notify VA to
interrupt the training status of
students who withdraw or whose
record or conduct is unsatisfac­tory.
At the same time, VA an­nounced
a new procedure design­ed
to speed up payment of sub­sistence
to students who attend
summer school sessions-
The new system provides that
college trainees in school under
the GI Bill will be considered in
a training status for two weeks
after the close of each quarter or
semester.
An official interruption of
training will thus be unnecessary
for students who continue ' in
summer school work after the
close of the spring quarter. In
the past, the processing of train­ing
interruptions, followed a few
days later by re-entrances, badly
backlogged many VA offices de­laying
the delivery of checks.
Under the new program there
will be only one annual interrup­tion
of training—at the end of
the academic year.
The simplified procedures ap­ply
only to accredited colleges
and universities including junior
colleges. Business, trade, voca­tional
and secondary schools will
continue under the same system
as in the past.

A Parody
By Ralph Jennings
An old man going a lone highway
Game. in the evening cold and gray
To a chasm vast and deep and wide.
The old man crossed in the twilight dim,
The sullen s t r e am was a hellava job to swim,
But he stopped when safe on the other side
And built a bridge to span the tide.
"Old man," said a fellow pilgrim near.
"You are wasting your strength with building here;
Your journey will end with the ending day,
You never again will pass this way,
You've crossed the chasm deep and wide,
Why build you this bridge at evening tide?"
The builder lifted his old g r a y head,
"Mac, in. t h e p a t h I have come," he said,
"There followeth after me today
A youth whose feet must pass this way.
This chasrri which has been an o r d e a l . t o me
Tp that fair-haired youth will a pitfall be,
He, too, must cross in the twilight murk,
Mac, my plan is to charge toll to the stupid jerk!"

investigated and decided to buy
it."
"We bought it wuh money we
