MAY ... on the first day of which, as custom has it, you hang a posy on the doorknob at your best girl's house, ring the bell and run like anything. If you're shy, that is. In my early courting days, no such coyness held me back. When I took a girl flowers, I took 'em clutched in my own fist, handed them to her myself. What was the sense of wasting a week's allowance on a bunch of flowers, I reasoned, if you aren't around to get a thank-you for them? As for May baskets, suppose the girl's mother opens the door and thinks the flowers are for her? Or her sister, the one who looks mooneyed at you even without any such encouragement? No, son, if you take your girl flowers in celebration of May Day, the heck with this hanging 'em on the doorknob and skittering off like a shot-at rabbit. Stand your ground and collect whatever the little lady may see fit to bestow on you in gratitude ! ... To get on to more practical considerations, let's take a peek at our trusty friend The Old Farmer's Almanac, and see what's predicted. Sounds like every bit as dandy a month as May usually turns out to be — nice, mild, spring-like weather with plenty of sunshine to make the flowers come up so fast you can almost watch their growing. A couple of misty days at the end of the month, they say, followed by rain for the wind-up, but who's going to complain about a little shower? . . . Besides flowers and showers, May offers a holiday or two. Mother's Day, for instance, falls on Sunday the thirteenth; mark "gift for Mom" on your calendar right now, so you won't forget. Memorial Day's the thirtieth, of course. And, if you're so minded, you may have cause to rejoice or to despair on the fifth of the month — that's the date of this year's Kentucky Derby.
READERS' OWN VERSE Lines To A Man Standing On The Corner
A woman's promise
Not to be late Can carry with it
A lot of wait.

Pause and Consider — A list of a few towns in Newfoundland has come my way. Of course every rne's heard of Gander, where the big transatlantic planes light down and set a spell. Now the obv'ous inference here is that the place was named after the husband of a goose. Likewise, it's easy to understand Heart's Delight and Heart's Content — those names conjure up happy pictures of travel -weary settlers choosing a homeplace at last. But how about Little Seldom? And Sop's Arm? And Venison Tickle? Is there a Newfoundlander in the audience? And if so, would he or she kindly step up to the podium and explain?
