Lions club tail twister lesson ends in comic mishap
Jimmy Lumpkin learned a fund amental lesson in Lion duties when the tail twister vanished after being placed on the table during the Lions club meeting. The Lion was found at the center of the table as the meeting ended, leaving Jimmy unable to assess fines for late arrivals and misdeeds. A separate note mentions a girl pulling a music barrel on the square, a tow truck driver restarting a wreck due to a dead battery, and an abandoned well in Nunnelee road bed causing highway delays before being filled to prevent future sagging. Thad Finley and I had a surprise at Camp Glovera (See ODDS ENDS, Page 6).
