Correction!

Good Evening Guests:

In an emergency meeting the school board shifted the starting date for the fall term to the 18th of August when a new first grader, Lennie Swirtz, looked at the calendar and said it didn't make sense to begin fall term on Friday and then be off all weekend. When Lennie's dad Louie called the school office the secretary took it upon herself to say school would start Monday, the 18th. Upon getting wind of the change, the teachers union called a strike vote and the kids started a sit down protest based on I know not what.

To think that not quite so long ago I was wondering that nothing strange has happened in town except anything the fair board decides. Heck, the fair board was planning ice boat races with the winners of the ice cube boat competition. Come to think of it, that's strange enough. Whatever else happens, little Lennie Swirtz is determined to start first grade Monday. He might have to cross a picket line to do it. Does this kid even have any idea what he started!

Special for tomorrow is spaghetti with meat sauce and peas. Choice of dinner rolls and a salad. $6.45. Glad you came in this evening. Don't eat the hash; it's three days old.

Faithfully,
