THIS WEEK’S COVER
- It is heart warming to see how sympathetic men are when someone is in trouble. Shame on women; they never rush to fix a man’s tire like that. Too wax cynical, if Mr. Utz’s distressed damsel, when she glances up, proves to be homely enough to fade a carpet, who will wind up doing the work, the Auto Club? She looks like a safe bet from here, though. Very well, boys, you know the rules, break clean in the clinches, shake hands and come out fighting that flat. One of those Fancy Dans may eventually marry the gal, but probably not the veteran in the right corner, Kid Baldone. An attractive alternate plot is that the lady, thanking them warmly for attaching the spare tire, will drive off home with her husband, the lifeguard.
