We made a few obseravtions last
week about St Valentine’s day, the
exposure of a man thereto, and
the inevitable “I do” that follows.
One of the town’s “unconfirmed”
bachelors saw -the error of his
ways and took unto himself a
bride on that very day—we refer
of course to Paul “Smokey* Stover,
Bureau of P’ublic Roads supervi
sor here. Rumors have had the
happy-go-lucky bachelor close to
the altar many times, but it re
mained for Lois Twitchell to come
along and make of him an honest
man.
Being a bachelor in Smokey's
instance offered a topic of conver
sation that we won’t have any
more. You can’t always talk about
roads. But we can now compare
notes as one married man to
another—something new is bound
to come up in that department
from day to day.
However it may be, we hope the
Stover’s marriage road will be
smoother than some of the roads
• i these parts that are maintained
by BPR (just kidding). It’s all in
the maintenance, Smokey!

For those who indulge in the
annual pastime of guessing when
the Nenana ice will go out may
make use of the following data.
Dated February 1, the report is
from Dan Ketzler, manager of the
Nenana Ice Classic. It may give
some clue for you rabid proguosi
cators (to base your mathematics
on: ‘
“The ice today measured thirty
three inches (thick, seven inchs
more than two weeks ago, and
thirteen inches more than on Dec.
22. This is approximately six
inches better than at the same
time last year, and' the water is
about six inches deeper,
“For the past three weeks we
have been having very mild
weather, and for some reason) the
ice seems to be freezing faster than
in the forty-and fifty-below zero
weather. There are a lot of theo
ries on this, one of them is that
the warm weather drives the cold
down to the water.”
You can either make something
out of that, or try any one of
several other .methods. Such as:
Pick your birth dafte if it falls in
the spring; your mother-in-laws
birthday, and the hour and minute
of actual birth; ask a friend; go
into an elaborate and complicated
^compjiUdion; consult lists of other
years; follow a hunch; sit on a
cake of ice; or just guess at ran
dom.
Humor Is Where You Find It
We have never subscribed to
the observation that a pun is the
lowest form of wit. In fact, if it
brings a chuckle we’re all for it
For the benefit of some of the
Town League
On Monday night the PNA Fly
ers defeated Krafts team by a
score of 50-43.
May Need Playoff
To Decide Winner
In the second half of the town
league basketball play, there
could possibly be a tie, necessita
ting a playoff, providing the
Bears come out on top in a Fri
day night game with D & A. If
they do the season will end in a
tie with the Bears and PNA hav
ing identical league records, 4
wins and 1 loss. In the event of
a play off it will be played Fri
day e ening February 27 at 8:15
p.m. For this playoff game the
tickets will be $1.00 adult, stud
ents 3C cents. Preliminary game
lqpal “punsters” (and there are
many), we offer some grade “A’\
puns from Henry Stroh of the Al
buquerque, N. M. AP Bureau:
“Pluck”—says Henry—“is an ad
mirable trait as long as it isn’t
demonstrated on other people’s
flowers.” Or: “A bricklayer does
his work the hod way.” To Hank,
a 5-cent piece that keeps falling
back into the coin return is a
wouldn’t nickel. When one of our
would-be satellites failed, it went
into obit. There’s a Stroh tag for
people who swear they’ve seen fly
ing saucers—they’re myth-led.
But staff punster Jack Samson
had his own tag ready when Stroh
said that Egyptian rock hounds
going about their work peer amidt
the sands. Commented Jack: “Hen
ry, that joke Sphinx.”
To which we might add: That
smells to (high heaven.
