SIDELIGHTS Ben Hur Might Look Good To Tri-Car Welfare Case By DORIS LEE It's becoming more and more evident that I need my own car. With three cars in the family you'd think I have no problem with transportation, but it doesn't add up that way. As far as I'm concerned we have one car. The other two are not cars. One is a 1932 MG with blown out muffler and a hole in the floor that admits wafts on rainy days like a battered dingy in rough seas. The other is a 1930 Model A Ford called an auto in its heyday: now it's a toy, something to 'restore' and ride around in to attract attention. Two days a week I have to rely on one or the other of these mechanical clowns for transportation and deciding between them is like choosing between a seatless rocker and a two-legged chair. The Model A is dependable enough; that is to say, it gets me there. But the experience is just too ridiculous. The silly thing lacks springs or something, and I reach the office with scrambled hair and curdled breakfast. Also, bouncing along in it I'm perched a good three feet above every other vehicle on the road, and with low, sleek cars whooshing past me I can't shake the eerie feeling that I'm somewhere in Twilight Zone, and that any minute I'll look down and find myself wearing a fringe dress and rolled stockings. The Model A has other unpleasant affects on me also. It bad fires at irregular intervals causing me off-guard every time; it crosses railroad tracks with great shudder; rattling every wagon bolt in its frail frame, and my frail frame. The MG isn't quite so bound but it makes up in noise what lacks in motion. And where I tore above the world in the MoA, in the MG I'm below sea level. And when it rains the sea can tumbling in, and there you sit with the water lapping at your calf. That's what happened to during the last storm. "Well, what'll it be, the MG the model A?" Chuck asked Needless to say, I don't do these nightmares; I merely allow myself to be carried in them. Without thinking I chose MG, and we zoomed off, much blowing, seats dragging. "Hey, I can see the grounding by," I said, staring at the floor. "Impossible," he said. "Well, there's some sort of tivity down there," I said. I continued staring at the man-sized hole in the floor, he'd through a puddle. Water geysers up through the hole and sprinkled my right leg. "You won't believe this, but leg is wet," I said. "Fantastic," he said with feeling. Up ahead the street flooded. He plowed into it. Water gushed up. The bottom began to fill. I pulled."

I pulled feet up and tucked them up me. "Do you have a pail?" I ask. "No, of course not," he asks. "What do you need a pail?" Well, let me put it this way: If I don't start bailing pretty we’re going to have to aba ship." He glanced down. My skirt floating in the water. We should have taken the del A," he commented. I nodded solemnly. My wore cold. The water was ing up against my seat be the Model A I'd be sitting and dry, at least.

Anaheim Memories 80 Years Ago This Week The first serious accident at the ostrich farm happened last Saturday. The largest and finest looking of the male birds is possessed of a most ferocious temper, and as the only animate object within reach is his female companion, her lot has been a most unhappy one, as the male has worked off his superfluous bile by fighting her viciously. On the day mentioned he was more than ordinarily ill-tempered, and he gave his mate such a severe kicking as to break her leg and she shortly afterward died.

It is said that no instance is known of an ostrich recovering after having its leg broken. Hereafter the billigerent bird will be kept alone in his paddock. The value of the bird killed was $1500. A veritable case of riding a free horse to death is given in the abuse of the water privileges afforded by the town of Anaheim. It has placed a watering trough where everyone can give his animals a drink, and the reward of its philanthropy is that scarely a week passes that the water is not turned on and left running until the 20,000 gallon rank is drained. The public watering trough ought either to be abolished or moved to some locality where it will be under continual inspection. Rt. Rev. Wm. Ingraham Kip, D.D., L.L.D., Bishop of third Diocese, has been appointed one of the examiners at West Point and will leave to discharge the duty early in June.
