SIDELIGHTS So We're Mad— Is That Bad? by Doris Lee Our editor is going to New York, his home state next month to pick up a royalty check for a book he just sold. He says he'll be back but it's my personal opinion that it's the last we'll see of him. "You won't be back," I told him this morning as we opened the mail together. "I said I'd be back, didn't I?" he said, adding a news release to the growing stack on his desk. "Yes, but you won't. You hate us," I said, starting a stack of my own. "I don't hate you. I just can't get used to you. You're all so crazy." "How do you mean? We're just ordinary people, living ordinary lives." "Yes, but it's the way you do things. So inefficiently," he said. He began rummaging around the collection of papers, pictures, erasers, rubber bands and ash-trays on his desk. "If you're looking for your pipe, it's under the telephone," I said. He reached for it. "I wondered what gave it that crazy tilt. Sure makes it rough dialing," he said. He extracted the pipe, emptied it on the new stack of mail, refilled it and lit it. A spark flew out and landed on his thigh. I watched it Pioneer Press this week," I announced. He wasn't listening. He was summaging around in the waste-basket. "What are you looking for?" I asked. "I can't find the dictionary," he said. "Ah, here it is. I thought I heard something fall off the desk awhile back." "That wouldn't happen if you'd clean your desk off occasionally," I said. "Don't be silly. Every item here is vitally important." "Even the pipe ashes and bottle caps?" He glared at me. The phone rang again. He picked it up. Let's Fly "Hello! Helicopter ride? I dumno. Just a minute." He looked at me. "Want to go for a ride in a helicopter with me? They're trying out a new transportation service and want to give the press a ride." "Sure," I said. "Be right there," he said, and hung up. We put on our coats. "Anything good in the mail?" I asked. "Nah." We picked up our stacks of news releases and dropped them into He began rummaging around the collection of papers, pictures, erasers, rubber bands and ash-trays on his desk. "If you're looking for your pipe, it's under the telephone," I said. He reached for it. "I wondered what gave it that crazy tilt. Sure makes it rough dialing," he said. He extracted the pipe, emptied it on the new stack of mail, refilled it and lit it. A spark flew out and landed on his thigh. I watched it burn a hole in his pants. Just Plain Folks "You've got us all wrong." I said. I opened my purse and pulled out two yeast cakes. I tossed him one, opened the other and bit off a piece. "We're no different from easterners," I added. "In fact, we're from the east ourselves, so how can we be different?" He rubbed experimentally on the yeast cake. "That's just it. The east has its crazy people too," he said, "and eventually they all come out here." I didn't like the way that sounded. "You're here, I notice," I said acidly. He set the yeast cake down, yanked his pipe out of his mouth and stuck it under the telephone. The telephone rang. The receiver fell off. He picked up it. "Gazette!" he snarled. "Just a minute." He thrust the receiver at me. The cord stretched taut; the telephone fell over. "Yes?" I said. It was Linda calling from school. "Mother!" she shrieked. "Do you know what you did?" "Mercy, no!" I cried, beginning to panic. "What did I do?" You picked up my column instead of yours this morning and my deadline is now, and I'm stuck with your column. "Oh, dear," I groaned. "Well, use it. I'll use yours." "Use yours? With my by-line: It's about life as a working wife." "No, no, use my by-line and I'll use yours. What's your column about?" "How to date football players." "T'll use your by-line." I righted the telephone, found a flat space for it and hung up. "My column is making a guest appearance in Western High's me." "Want to go for a ride in a helicopter with me? They're trying out a new transportation service and want to give the press a ride." "Sure," I said. "Be right there," he said, and hung up. We put on our coats. "Anything good in the mail?" I asked. "Nah." We picked up our stacks of news releases and dropped them into the wastebasket. Then we grabbed our yeast cakes and headed for the door. "By the way," he said as we walked out into the sun. "why are we eating this yeast?" "It's good for the skin," I said. "You know, I wish you would come back. I think we make a pretty good team." Anaheimer Named To College Post Delmar V.
