MURALS IN BRASS
BOSTON, (fP) — Glouster artist
Lawrence O’Toole is tucking
away some sly humor in the mur
als he is painting as decorations
for the first naval district offi
cers’ club.
They depict such early Ameri
can scenes as the launching of the
frigate Constitution and the Bos
ton tea party, but the faces of
some of the figures bear sharp re
semblance to prominent navy
brass hats of this era. O’Toole was
a chief in the coast guard during
the war.

CHURCH OF VEGETABLES
CHICAGO, (/P) — The garden
which Emil Soldan is growing in
South Western avenue is describ-,
ed by neighbors as pretty as a pic
ture.
Soldan, 63 and partly blind, used
vegetables instead of paints to
make the picturesque garden.
With cucumbers, beets, cabbages
and other vegetables as his materi
als, Soldan has created the design
of a church in his 40 by 60 foot
garden.
In the center of the church is a
huge star of lettuce with a center
of cucumbers, a circle of cabbage
and beets surrounds the star.

THOUGHT TO FOOD
CANBY, Ore. {&)—Mrs. W. Ol
son wasn’t going to be hungry if
she got out alive.
When her automobile stalled on
a crossing as a Southern Pacific
freight train rounded a curve, she
leaped from the car—but first
grabbed a box of groceries on the
seat beside her.
When the train smashed into
the family car, she fainted.

Tuesday night. You guessed it, we
beat them. I don’t remember the
final score but it was high and

Girl Scout News
if
Wilma Siaphanson. Troop Scribe
The Girl Scouts had a pajama
party on Wednesday night. After
our regular meeting we went to
the loft of the Mandeville build
ing. It was so dark that we didn’t
know .anyone was near us until
we bumped into them, so we took
advantage of it and played all the
spook games we could think of in
the dark.
Alice couldn’t even see the par
tition and gave herself a bloody
nose. She was back in the game
soon though.
Mary Louise brought her phono
graph and we got a big stack of
records and danced in the dark.
When we got ready for bed we
heard noises like moaning and
whistling and clanking. We were
all scared stiff. After a while Mrs.
Mandeville came back up and
said she didn’t know who he was
but*that he was a Registered Girl
Scout, he said.
We ate breakfast at the North
Pole Bakery. Eighteen of us had
100 pieces of toast and 5 plates of
jam and apple butter.
We re&lly had a wonderful time.
