                  PORE OLE UNLUCKY BUDDY NORTON!

 To the department of "it'll happen every time" belongs Buddy Norton's
Thanksgiving Day hunting story.
 On the way back to his car from a duck hunt Thanksgiving afternoon,
Buddy and Elmire came upon a big flock of turkeys.  They could have
killed their limit except for the fact that he was carrying a gun in
one hand and a fishing pole in the other and she had two Greenhead
Mallards in one hand and three big bass in the other.
 The fish were caught on a "sorry" bait with which Buddy was trying
to fish one of the ducks out of the river after he shot the two.
