GETTING AROUND Continued from page 5

We note the following sign in a beauty salon near Kennesaw, Georgia: "A Wolf Is A Man Who Never Mrs. A Pretty Girl." • • The next time you get a ticket for parking overtime, remember the plight of the two Pennsylvania Railroad employees who were charged by Struthers, Ohio, police with illegally parking a 155-car freight train. The town permits a passing train to park for five minutes, but this one, they say, dawdled for over half an hour. • • Fire Chief Joseph Stopa, of Fairfield County, Connecticut, has announced that from now on houses in which invalids live will be marked with a decal on which a large letter "I" is clearly visible, in order to alert firemen who may be called there. Another such seal will be placed on the window of the invalid's room, as a guide for firemen should a quick evacuation be necessary. • • Down around South Miami, Florida, writes one correspondent, there are new traffic lights that may be hand operated by children who wish to cross busy highways. One day, she reports, traffic piled up for at least a half mile in both directions, while a small boy in dungarees with a fishing pole crossed the road at a leisurely gait. Right by each traffic signal, in bright red, and looking much the same as any STOP sign, is a marker. It reads "Dear Crossing." • • The Hillside National Bank, of Hillside, New Jersey, celebrated its 40th birthday by offering to exchange a bright one-dollar bill for every 1920 penny brought in. Since a careful check of 5,000 pennies already in the bank's possession showed only 27 from 1920, bank officials thought this would be a safe, inexpensive promotion. Well, people began lining up an hour before the bank opened, clutching 1920 pennies in their hands. 2,002 pennies later, six tellers had busily celebrated the most active day in the bank's entire history. • • A group of janitors took a flier in modern art and sneaked a scrap-metal entry of their own into a Visalia, California, art show. Their "objet d'art," painted black, was called "The Petrified Tomcat"—misspelled on purpose, it turns out—was tagged at $350, and won a merit ribbon. • • Where in the world can a thirteen-year-old step up to the bar and be served a Manhattan cocktail while he watches the floor show? In Wilmette, Illinois, of course, where Edward J. Bohac has set up the Teen-Age Nite Club, a sophisticated bistro open every Friday and Saturday evening to serve the young of Chicago's northern suburbs. Available to anyone between the ages of thirteen and nineteen, the club has an awning-striped bar that's equipped to prepare anything from a nonalcoholic "Alexander" to a nonalcoholic "Zombie," all in the appropriate glasses—and all made from soft-drink ingredients. The entertainment consists of a teen-age jazz combo, with an occasional ventriloquist or singer or dance team or accordionist. It's all good clean fun, and is strictly chaperoned by the Wilmette PTA.
