The House of Representatives committee on liquor reg ulations yielded Monday under the combined weight of women, religion, children and athletes. Presented with a bill to outlaw the sale of alcoholic beverages in grocery stores, the committee quickly tossed it to the attorney general for a ruling on constitutionality. After the routine presentation by its author, Rep. Ben Sudderth of Commanche, two women representatives of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union accompanied by two small children rolled a foot-high ball of signatures to the committee table. The roll supposedly contains the signatures of 600,000 people over the state who favor such a move. As a final touch, All-America football player Bill Glass of Baylor testified he believed the sale of beer in grocery stores caused more women to drink than ever bfore. Leaving out the violence, the movement recalls the crusade of Carrie Nation in her effort to rid the nation of alcohol back in the days of saloons. Even more similar is the apparent reasoning of the groups pushing the move. Evidently they believe the best way to kill the use is to remove the legal source. Have they forgotten how prohibition provided a breed ing ground for racketeers and gangsterism? Testimony in the hearing of the bill supported the belief that beer in grocery stores was a bad influence on children. Grocers have rules governing their sales. How about Mama and Papa getting some rules on junior’s buying habits? Or do the parents want the grocers to take over their responsibilities ? SADDLE AND SIRLOIN CLUB HEARS LIVESTOCK EXPERT ‘Honor’ Flag Being Flown This Week The Stars and Stripes being flown this week -in front of the Academic Building carries special significance, according to Harry Boyer of the Hous ing Office. Boyer said the flag is in honor of the late J. D. Miller, class of ’12. Miller’s family donated the flag which was given to them by the Veteran’s Administra tion. A veteran of World War II, Miller died March 2, 1957. CATERING for '"’TTr* SPECIAL OCCASIONS Leave the Details to me.

It’s a scientific fact that girls reach emotional ma turity earlier than boys. For this reason freshman girls decline to make romantic alliances with freshman boys. Thus, the freshman boys are left dateless, and many’s the night the entire freshman dorm sobs itself to sleep. An equally damp situation exists among upper-class girls. With upperclassmen being snapped up by freshman girls, the poor upper-class girls are reduced to dreary, manless evenings of Scrabble and home permanents. There is a solution for this morbid situation — a very simple solution. Why don’t the two great have-not groups find solace with one another? True, there is something of an age differential, but that need not matter. Take the case of Albert Payson Sigafoos and Eustacia Vye. Albert Payson, a freshman in sand and gravel at Vanderbilt University, was walking across campus one day, weeping softly in his loneliness. Blinded by tears, he stumbled upon the supine form of Eustacia Vye, a senior in wicker and raffia, who was collapsed in a Wretched heap on the turf. \ie cnulcf flqQew Oae-OMt- ‘‘Why don’t you watch where you’re going, you squirt?” said Eustacia peevishly. “I’m sorry, lady,” said Albert Payson and started to move on. But suddenly he stopped, struck by an inspira tion. “Lady,” he said, “you’re miserable because you can’t get a date. So am I. So why don’t we date each other?” “Surely you jest!” cried Eustacia, looking with scorn upon his youthful head and body. “Oh, I know I’m younger than you are,” said Albert Payson, “but that doesn’t mean we can’t find many splen did things to do together.” “Like what?” asked Eustacia. “Well,” said Albert Payson, “we could get a third and play some one-o-cat.” “Bah!” said Eustacia, grinding her teeth. “All right then,” said Albert Payson, “we could go down to the pond and skip some stones and maybe catch a few frogs.” “Ugh!” said Eustacia, shuddering her entire length. “How about some run-sheep-run?” he suggested. “You are callow, green, and immature,” said Eustacia, “and I will thank you to absent yourself at once!” Sighing, Albert Payson lit a cigarette and started away. “Stay!” cried Eustacia. “Was that,” she asked, “a Philip Morris you just lit?” “What else?” said Albert Payson. “Then you are not immature!” she cried, clasping him to her clavicle. “For to smoke Philip Morris is the very essence of wisdom, incontrovertible proof that you know rich, natural pleasure from pale, poor substitutes! Albert Payson, I am yours!” And today they are married and run one of the biggest wicker and raffia establishments in Blue Earth, Minnesota. ©Max Shulman, 1957 Freshman, sophomore, junior, senior — rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief —you'’ll enjoy natural Philip Morris, long size and regular, made by the sponsors of this column.
