People are talking about foot-

at Mt. Pleasant. What a football
game it was with Linden and how
cold it was. About what hungry
Thanksgiving guests visited the
neighbors. About the housing sit-
uation in our town. About how nice
it is to see the men in civilian
clothes again, and how natural Wil
lie Jackson looks at Griffin Clean
ers. A very expensive subject is
eggs, selling at 75c per dozen.
About wives living true hunter's
