They Said It

Sometimes people who write columns of excerpts, like this one, tend to overlook the exciting messages which appear in so many TV publications.

So here are the first sentences of some club presidents around the country as they appeared in the newsletters.

MFGE: "The hot weather is starting to cool, and it is time for you ladies to don your wigs and dresses and get out and socialize.

THE PINNACLE: Well, Well! At last some rain has come and it's getting cooler.

SACRAMENTO GENDER ASSOCIATION: Another nice month, the meetings have been well attended and I think that all the people at the meetings have had fun.

LIFELINES: Here it is, September already. Another summer seems to have slipped away, almost before I could blink. Here I am at the same old stand, trying to get on with my life and make sense out of this world.

CROSS-PORT INNER VIEW: Ladies, at last the weather sorcerer's evil spell has been broken. The Queen City shines under cool clear skies.

CACTUS FLOWER: It's hard to believe that another month has flown by and it's time to get this column off to the Cactus Flower But I guess this time of the month sneaks up on me every month. Time does absolutely fly by that is for sure.

THE PRIMROSE: As I sat down to write this month's column, I didn't know what I would write about.

THE FLIP SIDE: Your old Pres here, once again. And the first thing I can think to say is Wow!

CHIC DIARY: I can't do a report on the last meeting because I missed it.

MFGE: You know, the longer I am President, the harder it gets to write for the newsletter.

Melons Frighten Iran

Reuters News Service, according to MFGE (Minnesota) says: "Iran's parliament voted June * to ban the sale of seedless watermelon deemed corrupting by Moslem clerics. Deputies voted for the bill after a two-day debate in which a minority argued that people should not be denied watermelon because it has no seeds.

"The government has to defend Islamic and cultural values, just as it has to defend the borders. Spreading corruption, robbing the youth of moral values. Seedless watermelon promotes homosexuality and asexuality." The law takes effect after further debate on details"-expected to be completed within weeks.
