FISH POTTED MEAT FESTIVAL
SET FOR SATURDAY
By John Hassrot
STAFF REPORTER
Beautiful weather is forecast for the 96th annual Fish Potted Meat Co. sponsored town festival this Saturday. The only drawback being only 5 donkeys for the children to ride instead of 6, due to the Harris Boy shooting last week. The smell of potted meat pies, sandwiches, cakes & delicious drinks will fill the air this Saturday as the screams of kids & donkeys ring in another year of tripe rendering.

PILOT "KNOT WRIGHT TO FLY SATURDAY

By Leoid Limplegs
STAFF REPORTER
Saturday will be the third attempted flight of Mr. Red "Knot" Wright's experimental Tri-Plane, nicknamed the "Ganglion Tendon Extractor". "Someone just called it that one day and the name stuck" said Mr. Wright, pilot and designer of the aircraft. When asked why he designed a 3 wing tri-plane, Mr. Wright said "This aircraft is built for safety, not speed. If you loose one wing, you've got 2 more to go." Mr. Wright went on to say "I've studied aircraft accidents for years and found that planes can loose an engine, run out of gas, or even loose the landing gear and you can still make it down ok, but if you ever loose a wing, buddy you're f--ked." Mr. Wright will attempt his flight around 10:00am at the county airport.
