I STR oR ¥ TAIT RAS TEER > Ep PAGE TWENTY ‘OAK HILL , Goofs? AHH by Bridgette Correale oJust to keep in line with my usual ‘goofs’ last week I mentioned that if your car inspection seal was No. 3 it needed a No. 2 or if it was No. 2 you needed a number 4. (follow me?) Well to clear it all up, Mr. Phillip, Tom Smith’s next door neighbor called and tried to explain how the car inspection system works and how I goofed up- instead of car sticker number one you needed a number two or three or was it four? By the time Phillips got through-he was confused. If that wasn’t enough for poor Phillips, (Shirley’s husband, Tom and Irene’s neighbor) Sunday morning when my children delivered the. newspaper, they ac- cidentally skipped The Phillips. Before we had an op- portunity to discover who belonged to the extra newspaper, Phillips was at our door saying, ‘Hey is this what happens when I tell you you had the wrong car in- spection number?” Best wishes to Ray and Chris Drugotch who will honor an anniversary Nov. 10.
