A fopl-smelltng, oversized meer schaum pipe was clamped firmly between Hick’s teeth and a well- chewed, black pencil protruded from behind his right ear. j i jVh, yes.

Hick had started his crusading as a, staff member of the Bat- is,; character of a certain kind. As a matter of fact, Hick had more 'character than gray matter. It TbOK character to stay with a newspaper whose circulation had droppetkfrom 2000 to 250 since he had takeh\over sis eilitor. Just be cause Duncanville was a farming community was no reason why farm news shoiiid be published in the “Daily Disgrace*” Hick argued. . I K. . Jjj I i The community had, plenty of cotton, corn, turnips, pnd boll weevils, but was short ou cul ture. I So, Hick had given them cultun He had published quotes from talion, the official publication of Shakespeare and quips from Swe- Texas A£M College and College tion, Texas. It was Hick’s pol- lex Stk idyl even then, to print what he thought the readers should have. To give the subscribers what they wanted was childish and showed lack) of character.

He had given front page spreads to book reviews, and he had announced the piano regital of a Ideal long-hair in i two-inch headlines. But -Hick had failed to publish a Department of Agricul ture warning that an army of ra dio active turnip termites was moving in on Duncanville after its conquest of. Dogpateh. The farmers, unaware iof this approach ing disaster,! were not prepared when |Kese starving, turnip-loving insects attacked their precious lefops.' j:!| i ! j j .I y As a result of this negligence on the part of.this culture-crazy editor the farmers’ crops were destroyed. With their source of income gone, the farmers were forced to sell their homes to get money to buy passage to Europe where they cculd participate in What’s Cooking? the benefits of the Marshall fi*!!*; \ Thia left Hick and a few culture- lolving: citizens the sole occupants of Duncanville. And how could a crusading journalist crusade when there was nobody left to crusade? ? So now, Hick was looking for greener pastures. He picked up a telegram from his desk. The! tele gram, from two of Hick’s former college cohorts, read: .
