TAKE PEN IN HAND
What's the most common
question being batted about the
country these days? That's right.
It's, "Are you going to Expo?"
Well, are you? If not, why
not? You can't afford it? Of
course you can. You mean you
can't afford to miss it,
Yeah, you say, but what
about bread, loot, gelt, money?
Nothing to it. Anybody who
can't make some fast money in
this ridiculous world deserves
to starve to death, let alone
not go to Expo.
I have a few suggestions. In
fact, I have quite a few, be-
cause I've been giving the mat-
ter of our own trip some
thought. I've discarded one or
two of them for various rea-
sons, but it's every man to his
own taste, and one or more of
them might be just the ticket
for you.
Put your wife to work. If
she's •already working, and you
still can't afford the trip, have
an auction sale and get rid of a
lot of that old junk you've
accumulated over the years.
This does not refer to your
wife.
If you haven't any old junk,
think of something. Throw a
bingo party. Chicken feed, you
say? All right then, how about
throwing a martini party, at $5
a rattle, on the Monday of a
holiday week -end, when every-
body has run out of booze?
You'd clear about $300.
Buy some veterans' calen-
dars, cut off one of your arms,
and sell them •door to door.
Come on, you can figure out
a gimmick. Send your kids out
mowing lawns. If you have no
kids, send your mother-in-law
out mowing lawns. And if she's
too decrepit, insure her heavily
and push her off a cliff.
COMING NEXT:
"HOW TO STEAL A
MILLION"
Arrange will a friend to
bump your car gently from be-
hind at a stop light, then run
screaming to the doctor and
claim you have a whiplash and
collect bags of insurance.
No? How about some black-
mail? Know anybody who's
running around with somebody
who shouldn't be running
around with anybody?
Have a moving van come in
the middle of the night, re-
move all your furniture, then
you set fire to the house and
claim insurance for it and the
furniture. You could clear
$3,000 onthis one.
Speaking of moving vans,
how about pushing your wife,
or husband, in front of a mov-
ing moving van, provided you
have a joint account and mu-
tual insurance?
All of these are too coarse,
or common, or complicated for
you? My, you are an old poke.
So run a bookie joint, sell pot,
hold up a bank, if you want
something simple.
Against your principles?
Well, all right, all right, but it
shows the depths of depravity
to which I can sink in the
middle of the night, as I try to
figure out how we can afford
Expo plus all the redecorating
my wife is doing.
Well, you and your danged
principles have forced me into
it.
Here's the deal. We're going
to have a contest. Now, we all
love contests, don't -we. I have
been writing this column for
about 14 years, without missing
a week. I want a week off to
go to Expo. Still with me?
I have a great many faithful
readers (and no doubt a fair
smattering of unfaithful ones,
too). Many of them write very
well, as I know from letters
received.
For the best guest column
submitted, I will personally
send a cheque for $25, along
with an autographed copy of
my latest book. The latest one
is the one I haven't written for
MacMillan Company. The other
books I haven't written were
not published by McLelland -
Stewart and Prentice -Hall.
This handsome award (so I'm
not J, P. Morgan) will be sup-
plemented by the Telegram

award, depending on their atti-

it the first they've heard of it.

Length: about 700 words. Send

And there you are. Cash. If
you win, you can hitch -hike to

Elizabeth.
