ASKING Queries from clients. Q.

How familiar are you with my state, which is Maine? A. Have been to Portland many times. Oftfm enjoyed dining on the top floor of the Congress Hotel there overlooking the harbor. I once played with the Wesleyan University team in a football game against Bowdoin in Portland in a snowstorm in the middle of December Some contest! I also played two seasons of summer baseball at Kineo, on Moosehead Lake. Also when I was a kid my folks took me to visit Old Orchard Beach.

Me. But I remember of that trip is that I stepped on a jellyfish. Q. Seven voung women between the ages cf 21 and 26, some married, some unmarried, are forming a social club. Can you suggest a name ihat is different? A.

Call it The Seven Cynics. That would attract especially from the men. They -would start wonderiag and wanting to know what you were cynical about. Just an idea. But it's a good one.

Think it over. BARGAIN A dinner offered by a Mayvilie, restaurant offers a choice cf lui'Jcey. goose or chicken. Addid to this are potatoes and six different vegetables. Also salad, rolls, homemade pie, coffee, tea or milk.

CURIOUS SCORE So the California Forty-Niners pro football team beat the Brook iyn Dodgers by a score of 63 to 40. That certainly is a curious score for a gridiron contest.

The reason both sides in these pro games usually run up big scores is that tne players are reluctant to take any chances on getting hurt by hard tackling. They worry a lot about having their monuy earning careers cut injuries. Nobody dies for the dear old Dodgers. STOGIE DEPARTMENT "Listen, Charlie Starrett positively was not in the film.
