From
Pillar To Post
(Continued from Page One)
toward Baltimore, the little horses
rocked sedately on the back seat,
through a pair of round little eyes
fringed with up-curled eyelashes.
As the car made its steady way
* dipping and swaying with each
change of pace and shift of gear.
The sailor who thumbed a ride
just south of Petersburg had been
fortifying himself against the
weather. It was chilly, it was
growing dusky, and a fine drizzle
was misting the windshield. The
passenger stretched his legs and
relaxed. Then, under the influence
of the heater, the soothing motion,
and the gathering darkness, he be-
came garulous. Shifting in the seat
and draping his arm along the
back, he held forth on the joys of
homecoming. He was going to
give the Little Woman a real treat
this time. No more wandering, no
more straying from the straight
and narrow. He was on the wagon
(hic) and he meant to stay there.
In the meantime a little nip from
the brown bottle wouldn't hurt
. anything. Weather like this ‘wasn’t
fitten for man or beast, and the
best and kindest thing to do with
it was to forget it in a rosy haze.
Thus persuaded, he uncorked the
bottle and took a prolonged swig.
Wiping his mouth on the back of
his hand, he offered the driver the
courtsey of the bottle, still half
full. The drivergdeclined on the
grounds that driving and drinking
did not mix.
At this point a large truck
stopped dead in the left-hand high
speed lane of traffic. A brisk man-
euver brought the car into the right
hand lane just in front of a jeep
whose driver cursed bitterly, con-
signed all lady drivers to a super-
heated climate, and applied smok-
ing brakes.
‘The sailor passed a shaking hand
across his brow, retrieved his bot-
tle from the floor, and resumed the
conversation. The blue horses,
galloping fiercely on the back seat
under the influence of the sudden
swerve and acceleration, caught his
glazing eye. The sailor froze in
his tracks, brown bottle half way
to his lips. He fumbled for words.
“Lady,” he croaked thickly,
“whotcha got in that back seat?”
‘Not a thing,” responded the

driver blithly, “you must be tight.
Probably you're seeing things.”
“Lady,” abjectly, “I coulda swore
I saw something moving back
there, something that looked at me
and winked. Maybe I got’em
again.”
His voice trailed off into an un-
happy mumble, and he stared fixed-
ly at the windshield.
The car passed under a street
light on the edge of a small town.
The sailor stole a haunted look at
the back seat. Three little blue
horses rocked away in perfect
rhythm, up and down, up and
down, three pairs of glittering eyes
surveyed the cringing passenger in
the front seat. Se
The sailor gave a strangled
moan, and hoarse words burst from
him.
“Lady, you lemme outa here.
First place I don’t want to get my
neck broke on account of no blank
lady drivers, and next place them
things on the back seat look like
they bite. Lemme outa here, I
say.”
The driver drew up in front of
a convenient hamburg stand. The
sailor, wrenching open the door,
dived into the night, and hotfooted
it in the direction of warmth and
more beer and fewer horses. He
turned up the collar of his pea-coat
as he ran. The brown bottle
glugged itself empty in the gutter.
The driver slammed the door, pat-
ted three little blue rocking horses
on three painted moses, and picked
up speed.
“Tain’t a fitten night for man
nor beast,” she ‘reflected philo-
sophically.

Bumper Turkey Crop
For Holiday Trade
Not only were there plenty
of Pennsylvania turkeys for (Christ-
mas but the supply is ample to
provide for the rapidly developing
family custom of buying another or
several turkeys for use in the later
winter months, the State Depart-
ment of Agriculture has announced.
Turkey growers of the State—
sensing the increasing “before and
after holiday’’ demand created in
pre-war years by hotels and res-
taurants in featuring the big birds:
on the .menus from September
through spring and even summer
months—are prepared to meet con-
sumer requests with the biggest
turkey crop in the history of the
State. Production this year totals
1,670,000 birds, 30 per cent high-
er than 1944 and the fourth con-
secutive year the Pennsylvania
crop passed the million mark.
Either way, you're a winner
