Greatest
Pumpkin
In the Cavalier Daily of 7 March
we placed a notice under Miscellaneous
in which we claimed to have
the only and biggest pumpkin in
Virginia. This is no longer so. We
are proud to announce, in conjunction
with the P.P.P. (Planned
Pumpkin Parenthood), that our
pumpkin has given birth to a baby
pumpkin. The little darling weighs
3 lbs. 9 oz. and measures 22 in. In
circumference, and is doing very
well. One astonished observer was
heard to remark, "Zonkers! She
didn't even look pregnant. Wonder
who did it?"

We hate to contradict you, but
we have recently been contacted by
the mysterious P.U.M.P.K.I.N. Society,
which claims to have the
largest pumpkin in Virginia, which
weighs 276 lbs. 3 oz. This "Great
Pumpkin" has just had triplets, we
have been told, none of which
weighs less than 8 lbs.
