DAILY-EXCEPT SUNDAYS
A nev7 travel book by Edward Streeter
has hit the shelves of the local booksellers.
Like the rest, Daily-Escept Sundays
is non-fiction: unlike With Malice Toward Some, Alone, and Listen, The Wind,
it is not about a man who has sat ujider
the snow for many weeks or has cut
throvigh a cannibalistic jungle. He (the
main character in this book) is onlj'" a
commuter who has traveled 216,000 miles
without getting anywhere.
The book is v/ritten with humor, and
almost every other page has a cartoon by
Gluyas V/illiams, who illustrates various
incidents in the life of the commuter,
Edward Streeter.
It is a small book, 144 pages, and
can be read in an hour of steady reading.
Typical of the subtle humor is in
the chapter entitled "Exodus" v/hore the
author describes various ways of getting
to anf. from the train- LIMOUSIlJE, CHATJFFHuR ATTACHED-- "Quick and impressive.
3u1:j''=co to sudden discontinuation, hov/ever, to be done properly, involves smoking Ion-:;;, black cigars. At least one
double chin also is advisable. Skinny men
in rsar seats of limousines are apt to
give an impression of having thujnbed a
ride."
A wholly different, amusing, and
interesting book, v/e strongly recommend
this current best-seller.

A cheering, yelling crowd of specta.torr^ attracted my attention last Friday.

Ap^a-^ently the older "boys are "being left

OT.- to cheer their loudest.
Because I v/as needed elsewhere, (and
not "because I v/asnH welcome at the game)
I left Beverv/yck park to the more enthusiastic "base"ball fans*.
l^ith just a short time "before store

1 noticed a sv/arm of happy-looking "boys
sx ting. It seemed a "bit unusual to see
3 0 many of the "young fry" taking an interest in civics; I inquired into the
matter. The meeting, I learned was conducted not only to promote an interest
ill current pro"blems "but to "bring a"bout
a closer friendship among the "boys of
the vG,rio\i3 Al"bany schools.
Dick Selkirk, a mom"ber of the 1938
grad-uating class, organized this group.
The meetings take place every Friday
and, judging from the increasing attendance, are very i^opular.
After another minute of chatting, I
really had to hurry along.
