Galabkis (pigs in a blanket), the chief chef he’ll accept all galabkis in any amount with open arms. If anyone cares to cook even a dozen or two, just bring them to the club. The guests will find the proper way to dispose of them with cheerfulness.

Besides yours truly, Woodlynne’s Jim cheering section included friends Betty Rhinebold, Thelma Krueger, Zeke Zachary and John (Bear) Cerasi. Shortly thereafter, the two avid ladv baseball fans left their seats to make a “trade-in.” They returned slurping bright red snowballs.
Laughter broke out among the fans seated in the 314 section. One fan remarked, “It’s a good thing none of the Phillies’ dumb ‘gang of six’ was around or the trade-in partners would have come back with a throw-in to make a giftdeal, a ball player like Ryne Sandberg to the Chicago Cubs or Mark Davis to the San Francisco Giants.”
