OUR TRIP
TO THE LIBRARY
By CAROL SHUTE
(Mrs. Langhus' 2nd Grade Class
Our class went to the Library
Saturday at 2:30. We had fun. We
looked at the books on a big round
table. Each one took a book to
read. Then Mrs. Langhus read us
a book about a Peddler who had
red and blue and white and gray
caps. But he could not sell them.
So he walked out of town. He sat
down under a tree. Then he fell
asleep. Some monkeys came and
took the hats and took them up
in the tree. The man woke up. He
said Give me back my hats. The
monkeys would not give him back
his hats. So the man Stomped one
foot but the Monkeys just stomped
one foot. Then the man stomped
both feet and the monkeys
stomped both feet.
Then the man got real angry
and he threw his cap on the
ground. Then the monkeys threw
their caps on the ground, the ped
diar picked the caps up and went
back to town. He was happy now
and sold His caps for fiftycents
apiece.
Mrs. Langhus took us to the
North Star and we all had a
Green River.
We ail liked the trip to the Li
brary and the North Star.

Eisenhower Asks
A-F Academy Appt.
For Hero’s Son
WASHINGTON, iff) — Presi
dent Eisenhower yesterday asked
a favor of the man who will occu
py the White House from 1972
until 1976.
The favor: a possible appoint
ment, to the U. S. Air Force Aca
demy for the son of Capt. Ivan
C. Kincheloe Jr., killed last June
while testing an experimental
FI04 near Edwards Air Force Base
in California. —
Kincheloe was flying that more
nearly conventional plane during
an interval in his preparations to
pilot the X15 space-traveling air
craft.
The request recalled a similar
gesture 'by President Franklin D.
Roosevelt, who proposed a West
Point appointment for the young
son of Capt. Colin P. Kelly, who
went down with his plane early
in World War II after ordering
the six crewmen out of the dam
aged plane during an attack on
a Japanese warship.
The appointment is~ reserved
for young Kelly.
Eisenhower presented to Kin
cheloe’s widow today a letter on
behalf of Ivan III, now 19V2
months old.
Mystifying Case of the
Disappearing Parking
Tickets Solved by Judge
PHILADELPHIA, UP — Rain,
rain, go away — so the police
can issue parking tickets.
A number of motorists were
summoned to traffic court Tues
day for failing to pay parking
tickets. All said they found blank
tickets under their windshields. _
Naturally, they threw them away.
Magistrate Joseph J. Hersch
was skeptical, but he had a hunch.
“Let us conduct a scientific ex
periment,” he said. “Get me a
glass of water.”
He wrote out two tickets, put
the carbon copies — the ones the
motorists get — in a glass of
water. The writing disappeared.
He put the tickets on a radiator
and waited. In 30 minutes the
writing reappeared.
“I suppose,” said Hersch, “that
we shall have to ask policemen
who issue tickets on rainy days
to also leave a note for the motor
ist, “Kindly hang up to dry.”
