    THE BATTALION

| ‘Hell you what Pd do” %
The screaming-, milling masses (actually three people)
have asked repeatedly what the title of this column denotes.
Not that they have scoured the forests for pine knots
so that they may light torches and climb the stairs to the
Batt office, but it came to my attention anyway.
For as long as I can remember, people have always had
a better idea for everything I’ve ever attempted. Not that
a little criticism can't go a long way . . . for the most part
the suggestions offered are from those who never seem to
have time to do the job themselves.
Next to some of the unprintable words, the most oft’
heard phrase at a job-site is “tell you what I’d do.” The sad
thing about the whole situation is that the people who re
peat this never know that they are doing it.
I’ve built fences, houses, bookcases and model airplanes.
Painted pictures, walls, chairs and tables. No matter what I
attempt, there is always that “tell you what I’d do” person
lurking nearby—ready to offer assistance in the form of
suggestions.
Since I’ve heard it for so many years and have never
had a real answer to give them except for some of those
unprintable words, this column is dedicated to all those
shade-tree mechanics and Monday-morning quarterbacks
with great respect.

“The Phantom Creeps”, regularly showing at the Grove
on Saturday nights, is a serial which is bound to be pretty
good.
Although I personally have never seen the serial, it
seems to be hooked up ingeniously with other features at
the outdoor theater to add extra drawing power. An example
of some movies it has been shown with are:
“A Tree Grows in Brooklyn”—“The Phantom Creeps”.
“A Ravishing Idiot”—“The Phantom Creeps”.
“Walk on the Wild Side”—“The Phantom Creeps”.
“Major Dundee”—“The Phantom Creeps”.
Some of the upcoming movies featured with the serial
take some of the thrill out of the title-game. But here they
are:
“The Night Walker”—“The Phantom Creeps”.
“Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea”—“The Phantom
Creeps”.
I never did pay much attention in English class when
we carved niches in the wall of grammar for each of the
words in the vocabulary, so I never have been able to put
words in their proper perspective.
What I would like to know now is how to distinguish
between “Creeps” noun and “Creeps” verb.
Some of the punch might be taken out of the title if I
ever went to see it and found out it was just one phantom
which creeps rather than the multitude of creeps which are
phantoms that I visualize.
