IN CLUB NEWS.

The Rotary Club of Blandville once again failed in its bid to have a traffic circle mandated by legislation at the intersection of Bland Street and Brackenridge Avenue. It was suggested at Tuesday’s meeting that bribing the commissioner of public works might be a more effective alternative. Members voted to hold a rummage sale the first Saturday in June to finance the bribe. Persons in the community who have rummage to donate, or who know a good recipe for rummage or how and where rummage of good quality may be obtained, are urged to contact Stu at his usual hangouts.

    In the spirit of “Flattery might get you somewhere.  Start talking.” we have “Bribery might get you somewhere — start bidding.”

    They are right to reject traffic circles, and all other manifestations of the Geometricist Conspiracy that threatens our very Way of Life.

    Sic semper geometry!

    The problem stems from the Club’s failure to rename themselves. Whereas the Rotary Club makes perfect sense in Boston, the Roundabout Club is more appropriate in western Pennsylvania.

    Rummage sale! Sure glad I read this, I thought you said “roughage sale.” I had two tons of oat bran ready to roll. Guess I’ll have to redirect to the usual meeting of Regular Unitarians.
