Rev. J. L, Jones is pastor
and Madam E. Blessengale,
-vice president.
I GUESS IT'S possible to gain experience from even the worst
incident, if a person just stops ond thinks. However, it's not
much encouragement at the time.
The day began nicely enough, what with me 'collecting a tidy
sum in wagers on the prowess of a certain basketball team. AU
day long I sat and counted my loot made from my good fortune.
Suddenly I decided to go shopping for a new car and mentally I
listed the new car dealers I would visit . . . That's where I made
my mistake.
Later, not knowing what awaited me, I stopped at several
new car dealers; and finally—and I do mean finally—I ended up
at an E. Long st. new car establishment. I walked into the
place and boastfully announced I was "interested" in a new
vehicle. Promptly the salesman began with the old "hustle and'
bustle." *
IN TWO SECONDS FLAT. I HAD BEFORE ME an itemized
list of financiat details prepared by a proud and beaming salesman. After the old come-on, he led me to my car for sn estimate.
(Led me?—he dragged me by the arm.)
The salesman and I had walked back into the building and begun the transactions when it happened. A loud and ominous retors
sounded"outside and I looked up- to see what had happened.
".That sounded like an accident," said the salesman. "Yes It
did, but It sounded farther down the street." I answered. "Well,
maybe we'd better take a look." •
UPON REACHING THE OUTSIDE, MY FIRST reaction was
to look at mj old buggy. From my side it looked as shiny aa
ever. But 'twasn't so on the other side. 1 stood with an amazed
look on my face and with wide open mouth watching the best part
of my doors and most of my paint fleeing down the street. (Attached to another car, that is.   What did you think?)
The hit skip car was two blocks away before I was functioning again, and had turned a corner before I reared away hi hot
pursuit. But alas, the old buggy didn't get close enough evea
to get the license number.
So I turned the old heap around and returned to the car
dealer. It was a pitiful sight indeed — as I stood there with
mournful tears splashing on the torn and wtinkled fender. No
longer was the salesman beaming at me. Nov he was leering as
he rubbed his hands together.
I "could see the cash registers in his eyes ringing up deductions
as he surveyed the damage. It looked like my loss was his gain.
But as all plots go, there has to be a happy ending A fellow
parked his car beside mine, got cut and walked-over to me. Ho
tapped me on the shoulder and whispered in my ear, "Did your
car just get hit."
I wiped away my tears, blew my nose, and stammered,
"Yes." The fellow continued, "Well I got the license number for
you." Oh, 'twas a happy time In Mudvllle as the joyful news
ricocheted through my cranium!
It wouldn't be long before the gendarmes would have the fleeing culprit in hand. And a million roses to S. L. Osburn of 113$
Bryden rd., for his quick tninking in jotting down the Jicense number
OF COURSE ALL THESE EVENTS POSTPONED the new car
transaction, since the old buggy was headed to the hospital for
surgery. In a few dafs the scars will be healed and Betsy will baas fresh as ever. I'll probably be so glad to see the old bus that
I won't be able to bear the thought of losing her. (Ed. Note: All
finance companies can breathe a sigh of relief.)
The tipoff on the story occurred later while relating the-experience to my household. One of the members spoke up and said,
"Do you remember the incident several years ago when you saved
the day  for someone  else?"
I nodded affirmatively.   I recalled the night I was driving '
home with Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Jennings and Mrs. Mary Bradley as passengers, when I noticed a car streaking sway from the
scene of a sideswipe.  I chased the car, got the license number,
then drove back to tell the persons.
... And what's the moral of this tale? It took my buddy Jim
Milligan, 22 E. 4th at., to point it out for me.
He said, "Flew, don't worry about things like that — don't
take life too seriously, because you can't get out of It alive any*
way.'*
