at 3806 University Boulevard,
Dallas, just doesn't like men,
particularly newspaper photog-
raphers and postmen. After bit-
ing Postman L. F. Wilson twice
(see picture), he chased the pho-
tographer who made this picture

From the Austin Statesman: At
a civic club meeting, the presid-
ing officer told of a member who
attended a meeting in another
part of the state. The local group
had notifed the other club that
their visitor was 80 years old
that day, so appropriate cere-
monies were held. Asked later
for his comments, the octogena-
rian said: "I'd been going with a
65-year-old widow in that part of
the country. I'd told her I was
only 70, and when you had 'em
broadcast that I was 80, you real-
ly ruined my chances with her."
