'Joe's' makes dough all night
Joe Smith sells doughnuts.
From 6 p.m. until about that same time in the morning Joe Smith bakes and sells doughnuts at his bakery, Joe's, on Ninth Street. For Joe, doughnuts bought mostly by students throughout the late night and
early morning hours, make a living for himself, his three children and his wife. Mona.
The doughnut, a deep-fried torus-shaped hunk of sweetened dough, is a campus institution. More than 25 people in Lawrence are employed in Joe's and
other doughnut shops catering to the Hill doughnut trade.
Joe, middle-aged and hardworking, is also a campus institution. When the University ends its regular session in June, Joe closes up shop and works the summer putting up hay at his farm near Lawrence. Come September, Joe begins baking his doughnuts throughout the night.
Joe Smith of Joe's Bakery on Ninth Street bakes doughnuts from six a.m. to six p.m.'for hungry students.
He sells doughnuts
It was shortly after he bought the bakery in December 1952 from his former employer that Joe began staying all night.
"Some boys from Sigma Nu used to come down late at night and I'd let them in to buy doughnuts. I thought it might be a good idea to keep the bakery open all night." Joe said.
Joe has no idea how many doughnuts he has sold during the year. "I think that they'd probably be enough to make a pile about as bill as the Hill," Joe says.
Joe fries his doughnuts until about 2 a.m. every day and then begins baking for the next morning. By that time the business has slacked off somewhat except on Friday when Joe's bustles all night.
Joe's nocturnal work schedule doesn't bug him, in fact, he prefers it. "In the day the world's too crowded," said Joe laconically.
Joe's doughnuts cost a nickel. The price hasn't changed for years. "It seems like a good price," Joe said. "As long as we make a little money at that price we'll keep it there."
Over the years Joe said he has never had any trouble other than a little shoplifting. The business has grown with the University. Joe now employs eight people. His wife runs the bakery during the day.

"Do your own thing," seemed to be the theme for the dress and suit story, presented at the California fashions creators' annual Press Week.
LOS ANGELES (UPI)—The trend in California dress and suit fashions for spring is that there is no trend.

Some designers favored softly shaped skimmers, others the belted look with fluid pleated or A-shaped skirts. Jumpers, coat dresses and the shirtwaist all were there. Belts often were of patent and scarves added color to many dresses.
Mr. Mrs. Miss
Pants were conspicuously absent in view of the past current craze for them.
Hemlines were still above the knee but no minis appeared. The length of suit jackets meandered from the waist to the lower hips and, at the longer length, might be belted at the waist.
Mr. Blackwell, one of the designers who had little use for pants, said:

. You sure are my kind of folksinger, Fran.
Oh, a lonely minstrel I'm meant to be..."
3. I've always admired you.
"Forever to roam is my destiny..."
2. Y'think maybe you and me could, uh, possibly...
"A-singin' my song to humanity..."
4. And I was hoping that perhaps, somehow, the feeling might be mutual
"Alone, yes, alone constantly..."
"Without any need for company..."
5. But I guess you're just too wrapped up with your music.
6. It could have been beautiful, because I just got one of the great jobs Equitable is offering college people those days. Real good pay, challenging work, and promotions that come as fast as I can earn them.
Like to hear my version of "Lead Me Down the Aisle, Lyle"?
