Fish Bit on Pen
Miss Phillippi said the program Friday is a pre-program appearance before their regular dance program December 11 and 12 in the Experimental Theatre.
FORT MADISON, Ia. — (UPI) — Although it's a "fish story," this anecdote from George Schenck, a Bradenton, Fla., motor court operator, sounded good to a local pen manufacturer.
Lodged in the throat of a 13-pound black grouper he caught on a recent fishing trip, Schenck reported, was a Sheaffer fountain pen. When wiped off and uncapped, it proved to have a full supply of ink and wrote perfectly, he said.

Minutes later, the fire trucks, the firemen, the pledges and the reporter left the "danger" area.
Three Lawrence fire trucks and sight firemen rushed to the scene.
Firemen had picked up the "fire" (smouldering refuse enclosed in a three-foot deep concrete pit) and tossed it aside.
A fire department official said later the blaze apparently started when someone dropped a lighted cigarette into the pit.
