Affernoon Reflections

By GLADYS COLLINSON

‘What have they got in Davy
Jones’ Locker and what do mer-
maids wear at the bottom of the
sea? I have often wondered, Well,
according te local rumor, it isn't
going to be long before we have
a chance to find out.

Rumor also has it that we
will not only get ‘the low-down

on the
week, may’ I be excused. It is

turtles in his locker, 1 know
what they turn into on dry

land.

And as for what mermaids] 4
wear at the bottom of the sea —
well, slacks are out anyway.

If my reflections are a bit
“naughtical” side this

on Davy's locker but the boys! probably the results of a series

will also have the opportunity to
cast a wicked eye over Minnie
the Mermaid and that muscle
man, Popeye the Sailor.

of events of which the Commo-
dore’s Ball and being part owner
of-an ‘almost ready to Yaunch’
eabin cruiser is not the least. The

have a fer-

I'm all
for this sailor idea myself and
if the Arrow Boat Club decides
to turn the boys into sailors
for the evening, you can just
bet all thé nice girls in town
will be walking the plank to
get there.

Despite the fact that this is
supposedly a dry land cruise —
and I have great doubts about
the dryness — it will no doubt
give the deck hands ample op-
portunity to test their sea legs.
Speaking of legs, have you ever
wondered why sailors wear bell
bottom trousers? Well, so have
I and the Boss has just now in-
formed me that the reason isn’t
glamorous at all and would I
kindly get my mind off sailors
and hoat clubs and start cooking
dinner.

A bit unreasonable I'd say,
considering that this will be the
first Annaul Commodore's Ball
prt on by the Arrow Boat Club,
and also considering that the
members have worked like gal-
Jey slaves. in preparstion for
this occasion.

As I understand it, this Is
to be quite a gala affair and
every Jack Tar to the Com-
modere will no doubt do his
share towards splicing the
main brace.

Another fine feature about
a.ball like this is that there will
‘be so many handsome navy men
around (they can't be squares
all the time). What a uniform
does to the female heant is pretty
terrific. Even a husband of long
standing takes on that certain
. Something when he dons a pair of
white sneakers and a yachting
cap — ‘whatever else he may
wear really doesn’t matter.

And’ the ladies, bless ‘em,
won't even have to buy a new
gown — I've heard that sailors
like them almost any way ex-
cept in slacks mainly because,
as the Boss snapped at me again,
the fore looks pretty trim but
aft reminds him of a round bot-
tom scow floating downstream
broadside.

Some people are just natur-
ally miserable and it is better
to ignore such remarks com-
Pletely. However, while I am
still reflecting on the subject,
there is just one thing more.
If Davy Jones keeps snapping

vent hope that my curiosity con-
cerning Davy Jones’ Locker will
not be satisfied, at least while
they are aboard.
