Down the platform strutted a good-looking blonde. The marines watched, listening to the tapping of her high heels...
Fresh from the factory, 500-wagon-red, self-propelled combines drove north with the wheat harvest last week. The roving harvest brigade was big news on the farm front. Backer of the idea was Joseph M. Tucker, shrewd U.S. vice president of Canada's largest farm-machinery manufacturers, Massey-Harris Co., Ltd.

Sixty couples made the trip to Norumbega Park and had a great time, despite such minor (?) inconveniences as cool weather, hayless wagons, and a lack of muleskinners on the return trip. If you didn't attend, you missed: Al Bizal, he of the mispronounceable name, making his Boston debut and being received with open arms by the girls from Endicott. Ed Clark, sitting comfortably in one corner of the wagon with a happy smile on his face, shouting, "Neckst." Dave Clevenger, discouraged over...
