STORIES

lor 20 years---Some lesg Ag"

Bob Burns Fixes'Em Up

Bob Burrls, comedian on the air with Bing Crosby, is getting away in big style by taking a lot of the oldest, best-known darkey stories of the South, changing them from colored to Hill-Billy dialect, revamping them in various fashions, and getting lots of laughs from them. He has recently told a number of the best-loved colored stories of the South done over in that fashion.

For instance, everyone knows the story-I published it many years ago-of the colored cotrple with the big family of children who lived on the bank of the bayou. One day Mandy said to her husband:

BUYS WANKE PANEL CO.

California Plywood, Inc., headed by L. B. Krohn, has purchased the Wanke Panel Co., wholesale veneer and panel dealers, 1,!03 Fifth Street, Oakland. Blair Logue is associated with Mr. Krohn, who has been manager of the Wanke Panel Co. for the past several years.

Flies To Chicago

Ed Green, vice-president in charge of sales, Union Lumber Co., San Francisco, flew to Chicago April 11 on the first leg of a business trip throughout the Middle Western and Eastern territorv.

Installs Fixture Displays

Homer T. Hayward Lumber Co. recently installed new Peerless fixture displays at the Salinas and Paso Robles yards. The displays include the new linoleum sink.

"Mose, you know I believe dem alligators down in de creek is gettin' away wid some of our chilluns."

And Mose said:

"Mandy, I believes you is right about it. I bin thinkin' dem kids is bin thinnin' out a lot lately."

Burns makes that a Hill-Billy story, and puts a final snapper on it. When the wife reports that the kids are disappearing, he answers:

"I believe them kids has been thinnin' out some. Maybe I better take my rife an' go down an' shoot some of them alligators before they begin eatin' up our hogs."
