Today is Evelyn Arden's birthday
Thomas Cope won the prize of two theatre tickets for selling a total of eighty-six boxes of Hexagon salt for the Junior Class. This was the most sold by anyone in the class.
A motorist in a "T" model Ford came into a town one day and saw a sign which said, "Speed Limit, 20 Mi.Per Hr." He got out and looked over his car and said, "I don't know whether you can make it or not but I'M going to give you all I can.
New Article:Continued from the Front Page shown above:

AROUND THE BLOCK WITH SKIPPY-The municipal swimming pool out in Dyess Park is being slicked and dressed up for the opening, Saturday, June 1st, weather permitting. The new clean, white sand, and gay umbrellas and water balls–makes it seem like a really and truly beach. You can’t avoid the coveted sun tan out there./Rushed frantically into the Williams Drug Store, for office supplies–and forgot all about them. Have you seen that ice cream machine–and eaten the ice cream it makes? Well, I took on about twice my daily calories just tasting, every fruit and nut cream there is–sherbet, too. They will mold you any unique or fascinating shape you want for your parties./Down at Goldstein's there are the newest, cleanest bathing suits by Bradley. One-piece, two-piece, pants, brassiere--any style you can want. All shades and colors--light, dark, pastels, high fronts, low backs--just waiting to be put on for a dip in the pool. Sizes to fit baby and the lady./ It makes you want to throw out your old furniture you have been planning to do over when you go into the Gilbert Furniture Store. Most especially will you want a studio couch, covered in olive green repp that pulls out and lets down, to convert itself into a bed. They have christened it "The Sleeper." P.S. Don't forget, Gilbert is moving into the Maidwell Block. Ready for business Saturday, with big surprises. [Must be where Parker's is now]/Strolled into Laser's today, and my goodness! Such whiteness--smells so good and dainty-for it is all being done over inside, painted white--stock re-arranged and everything putting on a summer look. And his shoe sale of 4000 pairs of shoes continues all week long. Sizes to fit all the family./Broadway Drug Co. has all of Max Factor's cosmetics--the choice of the movie world in Hollywood--where they must choose a cosmetic that, with constant use will be kind to the skin. The lipstick won't come off--kiss proof and waterproof--and only $1.00. For your shade./Lamps, Lamps, Lamps--table lamps and bridge lamps, big lamps and little lamps at Gregory's. They are beautiful--designed to fit every niche and corner--shades to blend with any color scheme--one prettier than the other--and so cheap--and look so expensive./Up at the LaVogue Beauty Shoppe they have a new permanent wave--The Jame!--it is machineless, and uses no electricity. Leaves the hair entrancing little curls on milady's fair brow. Price...only $7.50 and no agony of being strung up by the hair of the head with heaters. MORE next Week--Ever Skippy.[Skippy is quite the user of language is he not!]
