Out of By E. P. Chant Once upon a timre-there was a littie boy named Johnny Flag. For some reason, Y-Johnny was always very popular with ail the people around him. He told them about al the nice things he couid, get for them and, natura ily, these promises made everyone think that Johniny was 'the-bee's knees." Johnny was liked so well that hie was eiected president of the litti .e nefighboihood club by al his chums. A cou ple months after hie had established his office in the ciub's tree-house, Johnny drafted his plan for what his club should do to honor his town that was celebrating its f-wentieth anniversary. He didn't want a parade. He didn't want a big party. He didn't want an airpiane to fly through the air and speil out the namne of his town. Johnny wanted a carnival - a circus. Obviously, even after taking ail the money hie could from the poor people in his neigh- bourhlod, there wold'tbne enough money to have a really big cîrcug. Undaunted, Johnny went to the town council and outiined his plans. The council was overwhelmed and gave Johnny a whole sack of money to s en- They gave him a copemore too, as Johnny seemed to have a great knack for spending- a lot of money' (especiaily when, it wasn t his). At last, however, the fair was completed and towns from ail over came to set up booths and pay tribute to Johnny's town.- People from "WHAT DID 1 SAY WRONG"F Don't argue with the other driver in an auto collision - but do get his auto license number, his name, address, and drivers license number, plus the name and address of any passengers and witnesses to the. accident.

The carnival was a great success and Johnny got a lot of credit for it, but, even with ail the money that came in the people in Johnny's neighbouoodi were still poor. No one seemed to mnd, though, because Johnny was re-elected as president of the neighbourhood club at the next election and the one after that Durnghisimein office, J nnme moe and more promises and learned more and moretricks on how to get his way without throwing tantrums.- Well, the chance arose again to have another big circus. The International Tiddlyýwinks Championship was coming up and Johnny thought it woul be fun to have another fair and hle got permission to have the championship in his neighbor- hood. 0f course, his area didn't have any good tiddly- wink tables or buildings, but hie had a cou ple months to build tham so Johnny was not worried about the situation. Johnny started off saying that hie wouldn't need the help of the town council this time - that hie could get the money himseif. However, Johnny didn't take into consideration the moody and delaying tiddly- wink tablemakes or t he inflat- ed costs of everything needed in the construction. At the time of this publication, the championship is only a few weeks away and t he town council.will probably end up Salem News The Salem Branch of Paul's U.C.W. met in t] church on January the l3th 81.m Unit leader Mrs. Ru] Shackleton opened the deri fional with a New Yeai poem, affer whicb a hyma w sung.
