Realizes 12-Year Ambition

A 2year-old will

the store will

be realized tomorrow when Rick's
store opens for business to offer
District residents a complete line
of TV supplies, furniture, records,
china, small household appliances
and small giftware,

It was in 1947 that Rickey
Couch and his ‘father, T. B,
Couch, built the Couch block on
the Fomenoff subdivision on Co-
lumbia Ave. When the block was
-bullt both Rickey and his father
hoped to eventually go into the
hardware and small giftware bus-
iness,

not offer a line of har&ware.
Rickey Couch started Rick's TV,
In 1956 and has now branched
out in his new store into other
lines,

About half the floor space of
the 25-by 40-foot building will be
devoted to giftware while the
other half will be devoted to
what Rickey described as ‘the
entertainment side.” This will in-
clude TV, records, record play-
ers, radios and stereo equip-
ment, :

A full basement under the
store will be devoted equally be-
tween workshop and storage
space,

Rickey sald that the store
“will keep in Ine with the top 10
on the hit parade” so that the
youth of the District will be able
to fill all thelr record require-
ments at the store.

MASONRY WORK

K’S

By DON OBE
Phony guys kill me, What I
mean $s that everybody. it trying
to be somebody else, Just like
llttie kids who sce’ a movie, and
then all the time go around imit-
ating the hero, J
All these suave old hypocrites
are gliding all over the place like
Rudolph Valentino while about
two aillion ‘young clowns with
‘more hair than a self respecting
Saint Bernard are giving it the
James Dean shot. Boy, if ole Ru-
dolph’and ole Jim could see them-
selves walking around town they
would be sick.
X don't go to high school
dantves on account of being old-

er and ail, but my dumb sister
wanted to go, and ole ma said
that I had to take her. Anyway
1 went, Man, what a bunch of
donkeys!

‘There was this one sap with

sideburns down to his shoulder
plades, drunk as a skunk, stand-
ing in a corner of the crummy
gym screaming “You're tearing
me apart.’ Rebel without a
cause? This guy was a crumbum
without a clue. '
Another dizy kid had dark
hair so he had to be Elvis Pres-
Jey, He had the collar of his bar-
gain-house sports jacket turned
up and his mouth hung ajar as
though somebody had attached an
anvil to the right hand corner of
his lowerlip.'What a banana!

He kept closing his right eye,
and pointing plstollike (Wyatt
Earp at the O.K. corral, I could
have parted with my Iousy din-
ner) at this girl friend, and she
was a real queen too. She look-
ed like somebody had used a

_ Spray gun to put her makeup
on, and then had gone berserk.
Really sexy.

However, (I used to have a
dumb professor who told me to
introduce a paragraph with “how-

| ever”) there are some people who

are just themselves, My ole Uncle
Harry don't give a hucker what
anybody says, “Harry just likes
his booze." .

Ole Harry has been living

with us ‘since the rebellion of

.| 1837; he has his own room with

a phone and all. My ole uncle

Tust hate: everybody in the

whole’ world except my Ilttle
brother’ George. Ole George must’
be about two and half by now,
‘but he's smarter and talks bet-
ter English than anybody I know.

Anyw: (“however,” pro-

fessor kills me) it was the mor-
ning after New Years Eve, and
my ole Uncte Harry's private
room with the phone and all
reeked with an odor that would
have brought tears to the eyes
of Johnny Labatt.

The room had finally stopped
revolving for the poor, sick ole
guy. There. he lay, more dead
than alive, .with his stupid head
under all the lousy covers in the
house when THE PHONE RANG,

It was the craziest thing you
ever saw. ,The phone rang for
about a month until his arm
started to sneek out from under
all those covers, Ole Harry's fin-

Just Rambling With Words

gers started groping around on
the night stand for the phone, but
the dizzy wino grabbed the big-
ole ash tray instead,

Suddenly he sat up and
smashed the butt tray agalnst
the sido of his head and knock-
ed himself out cold. Wouldn't
you know it, the Jerk on the
phone had the wrong number.

About an hour later ole
George went crawling . up the
stairs to see my uncle Harry. He
ran into ole Harry's miniature
‘brewery and started to shake the
corpse under the blankets, He
must have shaken for about a
century, When slowly an eye look-
ca nore like a nose-bleed peered
out.

Ole George walked right up
to that fearful eye and said, “You
know, Uncle Harry, ’'d walk a
mile for_a cup of red rose.”
