N
EAR SKOWHEGAN, Maine, there's a plumber named
John Gnaw, whose grandfather and father were plumb-
ers before him. Mr. Gnaw makes a pretty penny repairing
pipes and drains for the
1, 2
rich city folk who vaca-
tion in these parts, but a
big leak in the cellar of
one socialite was too
much for him. While ad..
ditional plumbers were
on their way from Port-
land, the water level in
the socialite's cellar con-
tinued to rise. The dis-
consolate John Gnaw was
further disturbed when
the socialite painted a big
sign at the top of the
cellar stairs with a big
arroi and the legend, "THIS WAY TO GNAW'S FLOOD.".

An old World War II story hasbeen revived with a Viet Nam
background. It now goes that Red China sends five thousand
"eager volunteers" to fight for the Viet. Cong. "We send these
brave fellows," read the accompanying message from Chou-en-lai
"to help our common cause. They are overjoyed to join up with
you. P. S. Please return the ropes."
