GETTING AROUND Continued from page 4
Near San Mateo, California, there's a young man who insists on marching in any picket line, no matter what the cause, carrying a big sign that simply reads, "Shame." "I figure that covers everything," he says, "and it gives me a feeling of belonging." • • "Women don't hire help any more," muses Mrs. C. L. Dahlstrom, who lives in Forest Park, Georgia; "they marry it." • • We hear there's a St. Bernard named Sam in Boulder, Colorado, that insists on catching the dog catcher. Three times in two months Sam hopped into the front seat of the dogcatcher's truck, and wouldn't budge till they got to the pound. Each time he got a new owner. • • The Long Island Rail Road is once again opening its "Splashing Commuters' Umbrella Bank" for those who ride back and forth these April days from Nassau and Suffolk Counties, New York. The umbrellas, all of which were lost on trains during the previous year, are racked up in front of the information booth at the line's Jamaica station and may be borrowed by anyone caught out in the rain. There are more than 500 available on easy terms: "No notes to sign, no interest to pay, just help yourself, but return someday." Although some of our best-known artists live in the Greens Farms, Connecticut, area, it is the creative work of the town's children that was represented in the International Art Show recently held at Bulawayo Teachers College in Southern Rhodesia. At the college's request, Greens Farms art teacher Burt Chernow selected more than 100 of his pupils' best paintings and drawings to represent us in southern Africa. • • A filling station near Suffern, New York, has an emergency truck which bears the legend, "Call us at any hour. We are always on our tows." • • Here's a tip from an Oak Lawn, Illinois, reader that makes the be sense in the world to us. She writes about Mr. Vernon Y. Leach, who narrowly escaped death twice in as many days—once in a plane crash and once in an automobile accident. The first time, engine trouble forced Mr. Leach to land his plane in an orchard. The plane was damaged, but he walked away uninjured. The next day, he swerved his car and jammed on the brakes to avoid an accident. The car flipped over, but Mr. Leach crawled out without a scratch. Both times, says Mr. Leach, he escaped because he was securely strapped in by a seat belt. We think no moving vehicle should be without them.
