-29- couldn't back out. I got Jike to show me how to operate the mimeograph and one night put a stencil on the thing and bravely started. Only Jike had forgotten to show me how to put the paper in. After so much mental gymnastics, I figured it out, then inked the roller. After I had the sand-clapper pulled off the danglin' wheel, and was ready to roll. I realized that he had also forgotten to show me how to put it back. Morojo rescued me. Then Venus began rolling off the presses while such things as 4e bothered me by coming over and gloating over my labours and going into one of his typical 4esquian songs and dances. "Ha! Ha!" he would burble, "Soon you will become a slave of the machine, and night after night stand here, turning the crank until you become as big a crank as I am." "Orph forbid!" I snorted, becoming cranking every minute. I would have gotten no place faster if I had had a typewriter instead of this antique Martian printing press that I found in an old deserted fout-house. Then Glen Daniels showed up and the Vampire in me came to the fore... (God what a distance it traveled.) and his being a willing but not too innocent victim made it easier for me to wish the job of co-editor on him. In fact, I's have wished the whole thing on him, but I had opened my big, fat mouth and had to put the thing out or die the death. He did quite a bit of dummying, only the two column pages wore only 27 spaces per column and his 1 column pages were 72 spaces wide. He's been a lot of help. Now, we suppose, after reading this, you wonder what rain we sprang up after. Ladies? first. At the age of 4 months Loravenusian ate an onion and had been a stinker ever since. She could say that she is a self-made woman, but someone would be sure to scream. "That's what comes of using cheap labor and inferior materials." As for her looks, her grandfather summed them up beautifully when he said. "My dear, no matter what troubles you have, you will always have something to fall back on." And he didn't mean her face. Glen is the product of a mother, 5 step-mothers, a father and 3 step-fathers, so just let your imagination run riot. When he walks down the street with Lora, people don't say there goes the long and short of it, they say, "There goes the short and wide of it." HAVE YOU EVER TRIED FAN SLANTS?? IT IS NOT GOOD FOR LUMBAGO OR ARTHRITIS, BUT IT IS GOOD FOR SOME INTERESTING READING, A CHEERFUL EYE-FUL AND SOME GOOD DEEP BELLY, OOPS, STOMACH LAUGHS . MEL BROWN, EDITOR 628 So.
